Chapter 1745
Luna’s entire body froze when she heard this, as though she had been struck by lightning.
How could this…
Seeing that Luna was a little dubious, Theo quickly played the recording of the phone call with Gwen
“Please help me!” Gwen’s weak voice rang out from the other end of the line as soon as he pressed play.
“Theo, please save me… I think I might die soon…
“Luke knew that I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, and even after seeing me bleed, he didn’t stop at all and
instead left after tossing me two anti-bleeding tablets…
“I have no way of communicating with the outside world. I only managed to call you after the chef took
pity on me and lent me her phone for a few minutes…
“I’m going to die soon… The guards said that without Luke’s orders, they weren’t allowed to release me,
even if I’m about to die soon, and now they can’t get in touch with him at all.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, a man’s voice rang out, “Ms. Larson, you’re not allowed to communicate with the outside
world. Hand me the phone right now!”
With that, the recording stopped.
Luna widened her eyes in shock, unable to believe how much Gwen had risked to call her for help
She bit her lip and glanced at Jim nervously. “Jim, I want to go back to Merchant City!”
Jim appeared far calmer as compared to Luna and Theo. He narrowed his eyes and said, “It takes four
hours from Lincoln City to Merchant City. If your friend is really bleeding profusely, she’ll be dead by the
time you arrive there in four hours.
“On top of that, she didn’t even tell you where she was being imprisoned, so how are we supposed to
find her?
“Besides, even if we could somehow find her, how do you think we can rescue her? Do you know who
Luke is? He’s the most powerful gang leader in Merchant City now, and everyone has to listen to him.
“If someone like this were to imprison a woman against her will, do you think the two of you o I even a
severely weakened and restrained Landry family can save her?
“Even if we could save her, she’d be dead by the time we got there.”
Both Luna and Theo were shocked to hear this.
No matter how unwilling they were to believe this. Jim was in fact telling the truth
Luna was so worried that she felt as though she would cry at any moment.
Was she going to have to watch Gwen die just like this?
Theo furrowed his brows. “Well, do you have any other idea how we can save her. Jim?”
Jim narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man smoking at the end of the hallway. “The only way is to ask
him for help.”
Luna lifted her head to glance in the direction he was staring in.
Joshua stood elegantly at the end of the hallway, towering over them like a tree, emanating a n aura of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmarrogance and grace. She bit her lip, sprinted over without a second thought, and grabbed hold of
Joshua’s arm.” Please, please help Gwen.”
Everyone knew about Joshua and Luke’s relationship, even their subordinates.
If Joshua had not helped Luke while they were in Sea City, Luke would never have been able t o become
the gang leader in both Sea City and Merchant City.
Since no one was able to get in touch with Luke, his men would still be willing to listen to Joshua’s
commands, and if he were to order them to send Gwen to a hospital, she would be saved
This was the quickest and most efficient way, far more reliable than what they intended to d o, which was
to travel back to Merchant City and find Gwen after searching for her hiding spot.
Joshua lifted his head to glance impassively at Luna, then took a puff of his cigarette and blew the
smoke in Luna’s face. “Why should I?”
Luna felt her blood run cold.
She stared at Joshua’s face and, for a split second, thought she had misheard him.
Joshua was asking him why he should save Gwen. Why should he help her? Why should he help her
save Gwen?
