The crowd started murmuring after hearing Joshua's words.
A pale-faced Malcolm bit his lip as well and said in a gentle tone laced with anger, "Mr. Lynch, please provide evidence for your statement! What trickery did I use to get Luna to marry me?"
He continued in a pained tone, "You can't steal my fiancee away from me in front of everyone and slander me just because I'm crippled now!" 2
Luna’s heart softened when she heard this.
Malcolm was disabled and had suffered jeers and taunts because of this. If he were to be humiliated at such a public display...
She bit her lip and struggled to release herself from Joshua's arms with all her might.
He had restrained her too tightly, and she had to bite 0 n him to get him to loosen his grip.
Joshua's energy was mostly powered by his steroid injection, and restraining Luna had almost used up all the strength in his body. Her biting him left him no choice but to let go in pain.
Luna sprinted back to Malcolm's side without looking back and grabbed hold of his wheelchair handles.
She lifted her head to glare at Joshua and snapped
coldly, without a hint of emotion in her tone, "Joshua Lynch! That's enough! If there's something wrong with you, you should see a doctor! If you're feeling weak, you should get some rest and ask Lucas to book an appointment at a hospital! Don't lash out at everyone like a crazy person!"
She bit down on her lip and glared at him. "You accused me of lying, and now you’re accusing
Malcolm of tricking me into marrying him! Do you not know what you did wrong?"
Joshua froze and stared at Luna dazedly. Then, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What did I do wrong? As soon as I arrived in Merchant City, I've been looking for you and trying to find ways to bring you back home ... What did I do wrong?"
