Luna had not told Joshua how Thomas threatened her to sign the agreement for Sean and Kate's safety.
Joshua furrowed his brow and shook his head. "Not yet. Luke and Jim are still searching for them." He then sighed and grabbed Luna's hand. "I don't know where they are now. Merchant City is in chaos today because of Thomas, and it complicated the search for Sean and Kate."
Luna stayed quiet for a moment before she carefully lifted her gaze to look at Joshua’s face. "Actually..."
Before she could finish, however, Lucas called.
"Sir, we found them! We found them! Three minutes ago, Mr. Sean and Ms. Kate showed up at the entrance of Central Hospital! I checked the surveillance camera and saw they were dumped there by a van. They're still unconscious right now, and the doctors are doing their best to sustain them. Nonetheless, the attending doctor said that they were only knocked out, and they're not in any permanent danger."
Luna furrowed her brow when she heard the voice from the other side of the phone and looked at her watch intentionally. If she remembered correctly, it was coincidentally half an hour since Thomas left.
Previously, Thomas had said that Sean and Kate would appear in the Central Hospital half an hour later. He did what he promised, after all.
Luna took a deep breath. The most important thing was for Thomas to keep his promise. As long as Sean was fine, it was worth being coerced by Thomas to sign the agreement.
"We'll be there soon," responded Joshua to Lucas with a frown and instructed the bodyguard behind him to send Nellie back to the house.
Then, he grabbed Luna's hand and walked outside. "Is there any correlation between Thomas and why Sean and Kate went missing?" he asked.
Luna was startled. She had not found the chance to tell Joshua that Thomas was the one who kidnapped Sean and Kate. 'He actually guessed it out by himself?'
Joshua probably saw through Luna's thoughts at that moment.
He brought her into the elevator, and when the door closed, he spoke with a low voice," Since Sean >a&=UNV= Kate were thrown at the entrance of Central Hospital from a van, I'm sure that they were kidnapped. We thought they were the ones who ran off; no one thought they were kidnapped whatsoever."
After all, this was Merchant City. Sean was the adopted son of the Landry family, a relative of the Lynch family, while Kate worked for Luke. No one would think anyone dared to kidnap them from the territory of the Landry family, the Lynch family, and Luke's.
Moreover, Sean and Kate were both simple people without any complicated social relationships. There were no motives available to kidnap them.
However...
"Since they were kidnapped, the people who kidnapped them will release them after he has gotten his purpose. Jim, Luke, and I didn't receive any threats, and no one contacted us too. All that, and they choose to release them," explained Joshua while looking at Luna's face with his deep, dark eyes. "So the only one I could think of is you. You made a deal with Thomas, didn't you?"
