Luna did not regain consciousness even when Joshua arrived at the hospital.
He frowned and looked at Vanessa, who was standing at the door. "What happened?"
Vanessa paused before she went through what happened and told the same things she told Jude.
"I'm not asking about this." Joshua's brow tightened. "I'm asking why you girls made that decision."
Vanessa paused, and her face paled. "At that time, we thought…we just needed to lure Willow away and go save Anne."
Joshua furrowed his brow. "Why didn't you two think before you decided that? If the mission James gave Willow is to kill Anne, what do you think she'd do to avoid Anne from escaping when you lure Willow away?"
Vanessa lowered her head quietly after listening to what Joshua said. "She'd…kill Anne to stop her from escaping."
She never thought of that. For the last 20 years, she had lived in a very simple world, having never experienced this sort of calamity. That was why Vanessa thought the reason Willow kidnapped Anne was to threaten Luna and that Willow would never go to the extreme.
Thus, she and Luna decided to go with that solution and lured Willow out.
She bit her lip and clenched her fists. "I only thought about sending people to save Anne quickly…but I didn't think that far. I thought if Willow wasn't there, it'd be easier to save Anne. I never thought…"
Joshua frowned when he looked at Vanessa's pale face. "Miss Chance, I'm not blaming you. I'm just asking: Why didn't you girls talk to me before deciding that?"
If he knew it, he would never have allowed them to do such a foolish move. They did not even know the reason why Willow kidnapped Anne before they lured Willow out.
