A deafening thud echoed through the entire house.
Joshua, who was pinning Luna down against the sofa, slumped limply on top of her right after.
Luna could not help but furrowed her brows upon feeling his weight on top of her. However, since her hands were still tied, she had no way of releasing herself and instead looked in the direction where the noise had come from.
She saw Nellie holding a metal box in her hands, panting heavily at the same time.
It was evident that Nellie had struck Joshua on the back of his head with the metal box.
Seeing that Luna was looking at her, Nellie's face grew an even darker shade of red. She let out an exhale, then shouted for help at the top of her lungs.
Lily immediately arrived at the scene, along with the rest of the servants. The doctor who Joshua had assigned to look after Nigel stormed downstairs as well to see what was going on.
Everyone worked together to help move Joshua away from his position on top of Luna and laid him down o n the couch.
Nigel carefully untied the jacket around Luna's hands wordlessly. Meanwhile, Nellie put down the metal box
and walked over to Luna, then reached out to hold Luna's hand in silence.
The doctor frowned at this sight. "There seems to be something wrong with Mr. Lynch.”
She walked over and checked Joshua’s face carefully before she turned around to glance at Luna. "Mr.
Lynch seems to have eaten some medicine that he shouldn’t have."
Luna furrowed her brows. She patted Nellie and Nigel's heads while trying to cover the hickey on her collarbone with her shirt. "What kind of medicine?”
"I need to send it to the lab." The doctor poked Joshua's finger and drew some blood from his wound. "Please give me a moment."
Half an hour later, the doctor looked up at Luna. "The results have come out. According to the lab, the medicine that Mr. Lynch took was...”
She paused and glanced at the two children somewhat awkwardly.
