"No." Joshua sighed. "However, we managed to find out a lot of information about that assistant of Luke's.
"Her name is Kate Miller, and she's from a rich and powerful family in Europa. The power and influence of her family are not to be underestimated.
"Luke had secretly taken her in when she arrived here, but despite that, she's still required to call her family every day to confirm her safety. If her family doesn't receive any information about her within these two days, they'll do anything to find her.
"If her family were to come over to Merchant City in a rage, not only would Luke be in trouble, but the entire Merchant
City would be affected, too."
Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this. "Is it that serious?"
"Yes.” Joshua sighed. "It's the same as... If Nellie was to go to a foreign city after she grows up and ends up going missing there, but all data shows that she had never left that city, I, too, would flip the entire city upside down in search of her."
Luna fell silent for a moment before saying, "But why didn't you do this when our second daughter went missing?"
Not only was Joshua shocked by this question, but even Luna herself seemed to be momentarily stunned. A split second later, she sighed and added, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have compared this to that."
However, Joshua did not appear to be angry at all. He fell silent for a moment
before finally replying patiently, "The reason I never turned the entire city upside down in search of her...
"You and I had both thought she died as soon as she was born, and we had even buried her together, hadn't we?"
Luna closed her eyes. "That's right."
"Even after we found out that she was still alive, we were led to believe that Riley was our daughter, weren't we?"
