Joshua's deep gaze gradually dimmed.
After a while, he turned.
"What did Malcolm sacrifice to save you? Is it money? I can repay him ten times or even a hundred times over. Why do you have to repay with the rest of your life?"
Luna laughed.
"Mr. Lynch, who are you to me that you repay others a hundred times over? Also, there are things that money can't be used to repay."
Luna wanted to continue saying something when she looked up and noticed that they had already reached the hospital.
She helped Joshua in, helped him register, and brought him to the doctor's consultation room.
"Thankfully for this burn, you came in time."
In the doctor's consultation room, after the doctor dealt with the red patch on Joshua's back, he could not help but tease, "If you were to come any later, the red patch would go off by itself. My medication would be useless then."
Looking at the doctor joking seriously, Luna, who had a stern face, finally could not help but laugh.
The tall Joshua got up from the bed and wore a clean shirt that Lucas sent over. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the doctor while buttoning up.
"What you're saying is that my burns are fine?"
"Of course, you’re fine. Usually, the coffee in cafes wouldn't be too hot. After all, it was made so that customers could drink them immediately at any moment."
The doctor pursed his lips and said, "All you need to d o is to put some medication on your burns. You don't even need someone to help you walk. When this lady helped you in, I thought that it was serious. Turns out that it’s just a light burn."
Then, the doctor mercilessly exposed Joshua's pretense. "Just because you like her, you pretended to get hurt so you could take advantage of her, right?"
The entire room fell instantly in silence upon the doctor’s words.
Luna lowered her head and furrowed her brows tightly. She had rather mixed feelings.
