At least Joshua had not said anything that he should not have, unlike how he had acted on the phone in the afternoon.
After finishing their meal, the three of them left the restaurant.
As she was walking down the stairs, Luna accidentally lost her balance.
Joshua was standing on her left, whereas Theo was on her right.
However, for some reason, Luna did not reach out her dominant right hand and instead extended her left hand to grab hold of Joshua's arm for support.
To her surprise, Joshua's usually lean, muscular arm somehow felt softer than usual. It seemed as though there was something wrapped around his arm.
Luna immediately lifted her head in surprise when she felt this.
In front of her, Joshua's brows were furrowed as he shot her a cold glare. "Let go of me."
His stern voice and cold attitude made Luna feel like her entire body had been submerged in ice.
She immediately let go of him.
"Take care of her; she's so clumsy," said Joshua curtly,
and without giving Luna a second glance, he strode down the stairs and left.
Neither Luna nor Theo had noticed Joshua's pale face when he turned his back toward them.
When Luna grabbed his arm, she had accidentally clasped around his newly sutured wound from the afternoon, and in trying to maintain her balance, she had grabbed him quite forcefully.
Joshua could already feel his wound start to bleed again from the force.
Therefore, he could not stay any longer.
As he walked, he instructed in a low voice, "Lucas, get me a doctor."
