Luna's mind was dizzy as she exited the police station, yet Joseph's words haunted her ears, still
"We’re very remorseful. All this while, we thought that Luna won't need us to worry about her, seeing how mature and capable she is.
"We want to make it up to her. Me, stealing your drafts this time, was just an attempt to make her happy.
“You previously asked me why I still do it, knowing the consequences. That's because I’m willing to risk it for her. If Alice wants the stars in the skies, we'd try our very best to give it to her, seeing how we disregarded her badly in the past..."
Luna looked up at the dark skies. Suddenly, she felt like crying.
Why?
Why did none of her parents or Joshua cared for her o r showed her any ounce of warmth when she was still Luna Gibson?
Why did they only start to adore her, willing to do everything for her when she became just Luna and Alice became Luna Gibson?
In the end, she merely lacked luck. Was she fated to never experience their tender love?
"Luna." Suddenly, a male voice rang in her ears.
Luna came to her senses and subconsciously looked i n the direction in which the voice came from.
Lucas was standing next to the familiar black Maserati, smiling and waving at her.
In the car next to him, Joshua was sitting in the back seat with his head lowered and a cold expression. She did not know what he was looking at.
Luna hesitated for a while before walking toward the vehicle.
"I never thought to see you here."
Lucas smiled and looked at Luna before sneakily went in closer and said into her ear, "When I called you this afternoon, Mrs. Lynch was next to me, so I can't say much to you. Have you visited Mrs. Gibson in the hospital?"
