Inside the yard, Theo was pressing Dr. Rachel down in a chair, clutching her arm as he explained Luna's situation to her.
When she heard Luna's footsteps, Dr. Rachel glanced a t her coldly but did not say a word.
"Dr. Liddell." Luna let out an exhale and slowly approached her. "Please give me two hours to think this over. I'll have to discuss this with my family."
Dr. Rachel shot Luna an impassive glance and replied, "Seeing that Theo was the one who brought us together, I'll allow you to have two hours."
With that, she glanced at Theo and added, "Remember that you promised me two paintings."
Theo nodded, smiling. "Yes, I'll stick to my word."
With that, he turned to smile at Luna. "Didn't you say you wanted to discuss this with your family? Go now."
Luna nodded. After summoning Gwen to look after these two guests for the time being, she sprinted out o f the door and headed straight to the hospital Caleb was in.
However, to Luna's surprise, there was another uninvited guest in Caleb's room when she got to the hospital.
Joshua.
At this moment, he was attempting to negotiate with Caleb. "I saved your life, and in return, you help me find a doctor. It doesn't sound like too much, does it?"
Caleb curled his lips into a smile and replied, "But didn't she reject your request when you approached her six months ago, Mr. Lynch? Even though I have some influence in Lincoln City, people like these have no regard for power at all, and I cannot promise anything."
"It's okay; just you trying will be good enough." Joshua turned to stare out the window as he added, "You'd better go home in the afternoon. You shouldn't stay in Merchant City any longer."
Caleb chuckled. "Are you worried that I might steal Luna away from you, Mr. Lynch?"
Joshua could not help laughing when he heard this." Well, first off, you don't even like women, and even if you do, Luna belongs to me, and no one can take her away from me, not you, not anyone else."
The first thing Luna heard when she walked into Caleb's room was this.
