Joshua stared back at Luna in silence.
After a while, he shot her a glance and answered impassively, “I have my plans.“
“Mr. Lynch.“ Luna let out a deep breath. “I know that you’re probably showing Ms. Gibson mercy
because you have a close relationship with her.
You’ve known her for a long time, and it’s understandable you’re finding it difficult to punish her for what
she’s done. However, she did do something wrong, and she deserves to pay the price for it. If you can’t
bear to do anything to her, you can pass all the evidence to the police, and they can take care of it.“
Luna’s gaze never wavered from Joshua as she tried to suppress the rage in her heart, continuing
slowly, “ Attempted murder isn’t a death sentence. If she gets convicted, she only has to spend a few
years in prison. Perhaps by the time she gets released, Nellie would’ve already grown up and can
protect herself. She won’t face the same threat that she’s facing now anymore.“
Luna heaved a sigh and frowned at Joshua. “Why are you so unwilling to do so?“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoshua’s brow furrowed more and more as he listened to Luna. His movements also became rougher
as he continued applying the ointment onto her. Luna was in pain due to his aggressive motions, but
she still managed to finish her sentence. “Why are you showing Aura so much mercy, even though
she doesn’t deserve it? Is it because she’s far more important to you than your daughter?“
Clang!
Joshua immediately let go of Aura’s hand and flung the bottle of ointment back into the first aid kit. The
aluminum container crashed against the edge of the kit and produced a harsh noise.
“I guess you’re not in pain anymore,“ scoffed Joshua as he shot her a glare and got up from his seat.
Only half of Luna’s wound was smeared with ointment; the rest of the burnt skin was still exposed. Lily,
who had been observing from a distance, immediately approached Luna cautiously. She wanted to
make up for her mistake by treating the rest of Luna’s injury.
“There’s no need, “ said Joshua as he glanced at Lily. “Put the first aid kit back where it belongs.“
Lily shot Luna a troubled look. Luna immediately shook her head at Lily, picked up the roll of bandage,
and proceeded to wrap her wound again.
Joshua grew even more enraged at the sight of Luna’s unfazed expression. “Butler, please send Ms.
Luna and Neil off!“ As soon as he barked his order, Joshua immediately disappeared upstairs.
Luna watched his retreating figure with a smirk on her face and knew she scored a weak point.
Otherwise, he would not have become so angry all of a sudden and even resorted to sending his
guests off early.
At the thought of this, Luna swiveled around to look at Nellie.
Nellie, initially happy as she munched on her fried chicken, was so startled by this sudden turn of
events that her jaw dropped, and she seemed to have forgotten how to chew.
Adrian frowned and glanced at Luna. “Ms. Luna, I…“
The butler immediately rushed over. “Ms. Luna, I’m so sorry, but…“
“Don’t be. “ She smiled at him and waved in Neil’s direction. “Come, let’s go home now.“
Neil nodded, retrieved his jacket obediently, and ran to Luna’s side. He grabbed hold of Luna’s left

“Mr. Lynch doesn’t seem to be in a good mood,“
said Luna as she looked at Adrian. “I don’t think you should push the idea of me working at Lynch
Group. “ She did not even wait for Adrian’s response before she turned around and left hand-in-hand
with Neil.
Adrian knitted his brows and turned to look at Nellie. “Don’t worry, you can continue enjoying your food.
I’m heading upstairs to see what’s going on with your father.“ He heaved a sigh and disappeared up the
stairs.
Outside Blue Bay Villa…
Neil led Luna to the side of the road, but instead of pausing to hail a taxi, he turned and pulled her into
a nearby pharmacy.
“Do you have any ointment for burns?“
Neil instructed his mother to wait at the entrance and entered the pharmacy himself.
