Luna fell silent after hearing this. A split second later, she could not help sighing. “What on earth are
you talking about, Joshua? “Gwen hasn‘t even claimed that Luke is still alive; the only thing she ever
mentioned was dreaming of him. Why would you, out of all people, think he is?
“Besides, weren‘t you the one who brought Luke‘s body out of the operation theater with my brother
and buried him? You said that his body was already charred…so how can he possibly still be alive?”
Joshua closed his eyes as a bitter smile crept across his face.
Luna was right…
He and Jim were the ones to bring Luke‘s body away.
However, at that time, they were both so overcome by their grief that they could not bear to even lay a
second glance at Luke‘s body.
Not only that, but they had no idea that Luke even had a twin brother, so none of them ever suspected
any foul play at all. Luna realized that she had come off a little harsh when met with Joshua‘s silence.
She bit her lip nervously and said, “Joshua, I wasn‘t trying to be mean. All I wanted to say is…it‘s time
to face the truth.
“Luke‘s no longer here, and there aren‘t many miracles in real life. I know that you and Luke were
close, and I‘m also upset by his passing, but…since even Gwen has begun to move on, you should,
too.
“Life has to go on.” Joshua could not help letting out a self–deprecating chuckle.
Luna was right; all this sounded like something a crazed man who missed his best friend too much
would say.
He was the one who had told everyone of Luke‘s death in the first place, but at this moment, he was
claiming that Luke was still alive. Anyone would think he had lost his mind!
If he had not met Steven in person, if he had not remembered the scar on Luke‘s brow bone, if the
Miller family had not admitted to their crime…
Even Joshua himself would never buy such a story, A split second later, Joshua sighed and changed
the subject. “When are you and Gwen planning to leave?”
“As soon as we can.” Luna leaned against the window frame, stared out at the night sky beyond, and
said with a hint of exhaustion, “According to Gwen‘s plan, we‘ll be going to Merchant City to visit Luke‘s
grave first before returning to Sea City with his ashes. “If all goes well, we‘ll be able to arrive in Sea City
in three days… Besides, I don‘t feel like wasting our time in Saigen City any longer.”
Luna sighed and rubbed her brow in frustration. “I don‘t want all this to happen a second time.
Whether it was Gwen getting drunk and sneaking into the dump station or her subsequently losing the
pendant, Luna did not want any of these events to happen again. She felt tertible for Gwen.
“Alright.” Joshua closed his eyes. “I‘ll ask Lucas to prepare your flight tickets. How does tomorrow
afternoon sound?” “Perfect.” Luna pursed her lips. “Thank you for your trouble.” Joshua had come to
Saigen City for business.
