Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard this.
“What does our child have to do with Charlotte?” Luna felt as though he had poured a bucket of ice-cold
water all over her.
She chewed on her lip and asked insistently, “I’m asking…does our child’s disappearance have anything
to do with Charlotte?” If it turned out that Charlotte was involved in her child’s kidnapping, even if it were
just a little, it would make her feel better about helping Charlotte obtain the drugs.
Luna stared at Joshua hopefully, her eyes etched with longingness.
Joshua furrowed his brows when he saw the pleading look on Luna’s face.
“What did she tell you?” Luna was behaving so obviously that he would be an idiot not to notice.
She bit her lip as despair crept through her eyes.
“I just want you to tell me…if our child’s disappearance has anything to do with Charlotte, that’s all.
—- “Is she…also looking for our child?” – – – Joshua fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
“Yes.
— “My men had been trailing Charlotte for a while now, and a short while ago, she had indeed been
searching for a child…” Truth be told, Joshua could not be bothered to investigate Charlotte at all.
She did not pose a threat to him, so he could not be bothered to waste any time or manpower
investigating her.
The only thing he remembered about her was that after Charlotte used Luna to threaten Mr.
Hanson into doing business with the Landry Group, Joshua had reminded Jim to warn Luna to stay away
from Charlotte.
However, at this moment, staring at Luna’s nervous face, he could not bring himself to tell the truth to
her, that Charlotte had nothing to do with their child at all.
“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Luna scurried forward and grabbed hold of Joshua’s arm excitedly.”
Charlotte’s looking for our child too, isn’t she?” Joshua frowned, then murmured in affirmation.
Then, he clutched Luna’s arm and stared at her disappointed eyes.
“Why do you want to know if she has anything to do with the baby? Did she use the baby to threaten
you?” Luna could not stop herself from bursting into tears when she heard this.
She shook her head, then nodded.
Finally, she leaped into Joshua’s arms, sobbing as she wailed, “Joshua, I made a mistake.
I made a terrible, unforgivable mistake…” Joshua frowned when he heard this, pulled her closer into his
arms, and asked in a low, gentle voice,” What’s wrong?” Luna explained how Charlotte had tricked her
into stealing the drugs from Rosalyn’s warehouse and inadvertently caused Jim to end up in the state he
was in.
Rosalyn was still in a coma, and Charles had gone insane.
Jim refused to let her come home and had even told the servants not to let her into the house.
At a time like this, the only person Luna could rely on to listen to her sorrows was Joshua.
When she was finished telling her story, Luna was crying so hard that she felt as though she would pass
out.
Joshua patted her back gently as he narrowed his eyes.
“It turns out Jim is under the control of medications now.” When Luna was unconscious, he had been
trying to investigate Jim’s sudden change in personality.
Initially, he had thought Charlotte had managed to obtain leverage over Jim that would force him to listen
to her every word However, after finding out about Luna’s venture into Rosalyn’s warehouse, Joshua
understood everything What else would make such a loyal person as Jim abandon the woman he loved
and his sister at the same time, if not drugs? Joshua placed Luna on the edge of the bed and kneeled to
wipe her tears from her face.
