The slap landed on Luna so harshly that her face was tilted to one side, and she could taste blood in her mouth.
She could still hear Heather's furious voice, saying," Luna! You shouldn't have come back in the first place! If you hadn't returned, Mother wouldn't have been killed by Joshua Lynch!"
"Heather!" Charles' stern voice rang out. "Don't say nonsense like that. Luna had returned out of love for your mother, and she's already stopped seeing
Joshua. She wasn't the one who had asked Joshua to d o this!"
Heather grew even more outraged when she heard this. She pointed at Luna and snapped, "Do you think she has nothing to do with this? Why don't you say for yourself, Luna?
"What did you tell him? You had told him that you returned to our family because of Mother, so that's why he bore hatred toward her!
"If anything bad happens to Mother, you'll be the culprit behind this. You don't deserve to be a member of the Landry family!"
A twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart when she heard this.
She placed her hands over her face and took a step back.
Was that...what had happened?
Would Mother have been fine if Luna had not told Joshua that she had returned to the Landry family because of her?
As soon as she thought of this, Luna was so stunned that she could not keep her balance.
Thankfully, Jim noticed this and caught her before she could fall.
He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and shielded her in his arms. "Luna was just telling the truth; she can't possibly have control over what other people do.
"If she had been able to control Joshua, she wouldn't have gotten hurt in the first place!”
