Luna thus sighed, squeezed Joshua's hand, and said gently, "We've already wasted plenty of precious time, and I'm worried that Sean and Jim might be angry at us for this."
An hour ago, they had been notified of the news that Sean was found, and even then, they had promised to rush to the hospital as soon as possible.
More than an hour had passed since this happened, yet they had not shown up at Sean's hospital room. Even if Sean was courteous enough not to mention it, Luna was sure he would be displeased about this delay.
This was why she had been so impatient to get out of the car.
"They won't be." Joshua chuckled and walked into the hospital hand-in-hand with Luna.
Inside the room, Sean was still describing to Jim—in animosity and great detail—how he had been kidnapped.
"Kate told me she was tired and needed a nap, so I agreed to let her sleep. After all, I had only gotten my hands injured, whereas the rest of my body was fine, so I didn’t need someone to keep an eye on me 24/7.
"Therefore, after Kate fell asleep, I placed a jacket on top of her and went to sleep myself.
"While I was asleep, I dreamt that a few men had broken into the house and were taking Kate and me away. I tried to open my eyes because, for some reason, this dream felt strangely real, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pry my eyelids open. It was as though they had been filled with lead...
"After God knows how long, I finally managed to open my eyes and realized that it hadn't been a dream after all."
He sighed and glanced down at his hands, which were still wrapped in thick layers of bandage. "When I woke up, I found that Kate and I had been trapped in a dark, moldy dungeon. I was tied onto a chair, whereas Kate was tied onto a pillar. There was only one light source in the room, and after observing the surroundings, I discovered we were kept in a dungeon.
