Luna could not help wringing her hands when she heard this. She bit her lip and lifted her head to stare a t Jim. "Do you agree that Joshua had humiliated Christopher on purpose and insulted both the Landry family and me?"
Luna had thought that as Joshua’s cousin, Jim would b e different from everyone else, but...
"Well, what else do you think his intention was of doing this?" Jim let out a sneer and added, "Are you trying to tell me that an intelligent man like Joshua Lynch can't even tell a rare herb apart from some common grass, despite having photos to help him? Even a child can understand the pictures that Christopher had shown him, so what went wrong?"
Luna bit her lip when she heard this.
She let out an exhale and closed her eyes. "I won't return to your side for the time being.
"I want to hear Joshua’s explanation for all this."
She would not believe any of these accusations unless she could hear Joshua admitting himself that he had deliberately done this to humiliate both Christopher and her.
"In that case, has he contacted you? Do you have a way of getting in touch with him?"
Luna's heart sank when she heard this.
Joshua...had not contacted her at all.
She, too, had no means of getting in touch with him.
Every time she contacted the children, they would tell her that Joshua was busy and had not gone home at all.
Even Nigel, who had always been a skilled hacker, could not find out what Joshua was up to.
The only thing that tied her to Joshua was the message that he had asked Jude to pass on the day before, asking her to wait for him.
Jim noticed Luna's strange reaction and scoffed, "You have no way of knowing when Joshua would come back to you and how long you'll have to wait, do you?"
He walked over to her side and pressed down on her shoulders, staring straight into her eyes. "Even though Mother has received the antidote, her body is still weak. Even though she's out of danger now, there's no telling when her condition will deteriorate because of grief, and we have to expect the worst is yet to come.
