"Don't worry."
Frowning, Joshua approached Luna and hugged her to ease her nerves. "The wedding is starting in less than three hours, so we'll need to head there first. Once we settle things with Adrian, I'll bring you to go look for Anne, alright?"
The doctor mentioned it was necessary to keep Luna in the dark about Anne's death. Thus, he was not about to inform Luna about what happened to Anne yet.
"No." She bit her lip and extended her arms, wrapping them around Joshua's body. She feebly said, "For some reason, I'm worried about her. I feel like I've forgotten something, and it's related to her."
She looked up. "Joshua, can you please bring me to her? I'll only feel okay when I see her with my own eyes."
Joshua's face looked terrible after hearing that. 'Anne is…'
"I have a better idea." After a moment of silence, he said, "I'll send people to Anne's house for protection. After we're done at Adrian's wedding, I'll bring you to her right away."
Frankly, Joshua did not know what to do with Luna's current situation, but he knew he could never let her know that Anne was dead. He tried to use the wedding as an excuse to hold her off while he tried to contact Theo and everyone in Merchant City to see if Rachel or Rosalyn could help minimize the effect of Anne's death on Luna.
"Why?" Luna looked at Joshua, unable to comprehend his thoughts. "Isn't it easier if we just look for them?"
Luna did not understand why Joshua wanted to send people over to protect Anne and her family now only visiting them after the wedding.
"Because…" Joshua kept quiet for a while. "Because we don't have enough time. I want to bring you to buy a gown and have your makeup. I'm sure you don't want to show up at the wedding with an ugly look."
