Luna's entire body stiffened. She gripped Granny Lynch's hand even tighter and reassured her, "Don’t worry."
"I..." Luna paused and took a deep breath. Suddenly, the recent memories of Joshua appeared in her mind, from all the things that Joshua did for her to Joshua's voice from Anne’s message.
These made her even more determined to commit to him, so she replied earnestly, "I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I’ll never give up o n Joshua."
With the reassurance from Luna, Granny Lynch finally felt the sense of relief she wanted. She closed her eyes and let go of Luna's hand.
The machines around her started beeping. The doctors rushed into the room.
"The patient’s condition is deteriorating! Get me some epinephrine! Non-medical personnel, please evacuate the room!"
Luna was pulled out of the room by Alfred. Soon after, Granny Lynch’s bed was surrounded by doctors, trying to resuscitate her.
A drop of tear fell out of the corner of Luna's eye without warning.
Granny Lynch's condition had worsened yet, at the same time, she was also Joshua's closest family member.
Luna clenched both her fists, and she released herself from Alfred's grip. "You wait here. I will get Dr. Janet."
With that, she took a deep breath and got on the elevator.
Granny Lynch's condition could no longer wait. Luna had to gamble her luck.
Finally, she reached Dr. Janet’s office and pushed open the door. "Dr. Janet, do you still remember what I told you?"
Dr. Janet raised her eyebrows and glanced at Luna. "T o alter your body's physical state to that of a poisoned person's would cause a lot of health consequences. Are ...you willing to undergo that?"
