Charles knelt on the ground, deftly pulling out the weeds. "Why wouldn't it be true? It can easily be accomplished by combining traditional medicine with modern medical treatment. Find a way to get her to open up and see what she knows."
Luna hummed in response.
Charles continued, "She's very cautious. She doesn't even trust me yet. You need to find a way to earn her complete trust. Only then can our plan move forward."
"Maybe she doesn't trust me either," Luna said self-deprecatingly.
"You're her best friend. She even stood up to Sean for your sake," Charles said, standing up and stacking the weeds to the side. Returning to Luna's side, he added, "You mean more to her than Sean does. If you put in a little more effort, their relationship will soon fall apart."
Sadness filled Luna's eyes. "I understand."
"We need to act quickly. Our team is waiting." After saying this, Charles stopped talking to Luna.
After lunch, Abigail noticed that Luna seemed a bit upset and became worried about her.
"What's wrong? Is the sun bothering you?" Abigail placed the dishes on the table and asked her softly.
Luna shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm just tired."
Abigail walked over and gently squeezed her shoulder. "How about I take you shopping this afternoon?"
"Sure." Luna agreed immediately.
After lunch, Abigail took Luna to the mall. She planned to make some clothes for Luna. Holding Luna's hand, they entered a fabric store and began to browse.
Abigail was always very meticulous when choosing fabrics.
Spotting a stunning black and gold fabric, Abigail touched it and felt the quality. Just as she turned around to ask Luna, she realized that the person next to her was a salesperson.
"Where's my friend?" Abigail immediately let go of the fabric and anxiously scanned the store.
The salesperson looked confused. "Your friend? The one who came in with you?"
"Yes. I brought her in!" Abigail hurriedly walked past several shelves but couldn't find Luna.
In that moment, her mind went blank.
"She's an adult, so she should be fine. You can look for her outside. Maybe she's shopping nearby," the salesperson suggested with a smile, thinking that Abigail's reaction was a bit excessive.
Abigail ignored her and left the store.
The outside was bustling with people, and there was no sign of Luna.
Abigail immediately called her. However, after several attempts, there was no answer. Abigail rushed to find the mall's security.
Luna had been unusually compliant today, unlike her usual self... Could it be that she had a relapse, and I didn't notice?
Abigail searched the entire mall until it was dark, but there was still no sign of Luna.
In the end, she had no choice but to call Simond.
"Luna went shopping with me, but she's gone. Can you help me find her?" Abigail was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. There were so many people here, and Luna's memory wasn't good. She didn't know what to do if Luna got lost.
