Luna crawled out of the puddle slowly. "I'm fine..."
She was fine, just a little exhausted.
After all, she had not eaten a single bite for more than ten hours.
Luna pulled Nigel out of the puddle, picked him up, and continued hiking down the mountain trail.
The mountain trail was wet and slippery from the rain, so Luna and Nigel fell a couple of times. With each fall, Joshua felt his heart ache.
Even Fiona, who was pressed against the ground, could feel the raw emotions passing through Joshua's body.
Fiona saw an opportunity and decided to seize it. While Joshua was preoccupied with watching Luna and Nigel, Fiona summoned all the strength in her body and managed to release herself from Joshua's grip.
"I'll kill you!" Fiona's blood-curdling scream rang out from behind Luna.
Luna immediately paused, then turned around.
The scene before her rendered her utterly stunned, as though someone had set off a bomb inside her head.
At this moment, Fiona was holding the knife that
Joshua had kicked away and engaged in a physical struggle with him. All Luna could see was the two of them fumbling around.
Fiona's knife pierced Joshua's arm a few times, drawing blood that seemed to trickle everywhere.
Joshua, who was usually tall and strong, was soaked i n his own blood, struggling to gain the upper hand in this fight.
Luna bit down on her lip at this sight. She knew she could not just stand by and watch.
No matter how strong Joshua was, he was no match for a person clutching a deadly weapon!
Luna bit down on her lip and placed Nigel on the ground.
"Mommy, go..." Nigel said earnestly, watching the scene before him. "The only reason Mr. Lynch is in the situation now is that he tried to save me. Please be careful."
