Leaving the airport, Luna switched on her phone. Tons of messages pinged on her phone, all from guests who attended tonight's party. Some apologized to her while others complained that she should not have left. However, the majority of notifications were missed calls.
Luna bit her lip, ignored the news, and directly dialed Joshua's number. His phone was switched off. Then, she dialed Lucas’ number. His cell phone was also switched off.
At that moment, Luna's phone rang with a call from Gwen. Luna did not want to answer, but on second thought, Joshua and Luke were quite close... Since she failed to reach Joshua, maybe he could.
So she pressed the answer button. As soon as the call was connected, on the other end of the phone, Gwen started scolding Luna ferociously. "Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Joshua spent the whole day preparing the party for you! Luke said it was really difficult for Joshua to personally prepare a birthday party for you! He was seriously injured, and he organized this party for you with the help of a cortisone shot. Even if his efforts didn’t move you, you shouldn't have thrown them back in his face and embarrassed him in front of so many people?"
Sitting in the taxi, Luna squeezed her phone firmly,
her voice trembling. "He's injured?"
Why did she not...notice it at all?
"Yes." On the other end of the phone, Gwen sighed, "He was seriously injured. He was stabbed several times i n the stomach. I found it strange. How could a man like Joshua get stabbed with a knife so easily? Later, Luke told me Joshua went to the eighth alley in the city because of an emergency and was stabbed by Fiona's men who lay in ambush there...”
Listening to Gwen's voice, Luna felt as if there were multiple explosions going off in her head.
How could it be... Joshua was injured... A few days ago, in the eighth alley, he was ambushed...
She recalled how a few days ago, when she rushed to the alley, Joshua was already sitting on the piece of the rock with his hand over his stomach, looking at her with a calm and silent expression on his face. He was already injured then, right?
