Seeing how Jacqueline was getting angrier by the minute, Luna quickly extended her hand out to stop Joshua, afraid the woman would lose her mind and hurt Anne. "Don't get involved for now."
Maybe Jacqueline was right when she said Anne was just her friend from Joshua's point of view. It was normal that Joshua would not care about Anne that much.
For Luna, however, it was different. Anne was her best friend.
When her face was disfigured seven years ago, Anne was the person she trusted the most. She was also the person Luna went to when she had troubles.
After Malcolm ruined her original face, Anne and her teachers were the ones who took time, little by little, to restore her face. Although Anne was just an intern then, she was the one person who cared about Luna among the other surgeons.
The only thing the other doctors cared about was her recovery and if her restoration was a success. Anne was the only one who would ask if Luna was in pain and if Luna's decision and persistence were worth it.
On the nights when Luna was in so much pain, Anne would sneak into her ward with comfort food. She would open the window to let the night breeze enter the room and admire the moon and wind with Luna, whose head at the time was wrapped up like a mummy.
She even told Luna this before…
"As a matter of fact, I don't think being pretty is important. I mean it, even when I'm a plastic surgeon myself. Beauty is very important to girls, but I always think that being happy is more important. If becoming beautiful makes you happy, then your plastic surgery is worth it. However, if being beautiful only pains you more, then plastic surgery has no meaning. Instead, you should live your life and be happy. That's the most important to me."
