Luna slept through the entire night.
In her dreams, she dreamt that she was humiliated by many men. She dreamt that her dead body was disposed of in the wilderness.
She dreamt that Joshua and Alice drove over her dead body and happily returned to Banyan City.
She woke up from her nightmare screaming in fear. “Did you have a nightmare?“
When she came to her senses, Theo’s voice rang out gently in her ears.
Luna opened her eyes. She was in a foreign environment. White walls and beds and it smelled of disinfectant.
She rubbed the middle of her brows and got up from the bed. “I’m at…“
“The hospital, “ Theo replied while pouring her some water. “You were attacked and kidnapped last night. Later on, you were rescued and sent to the hospital.“
Then, he passed Luna a glass of warm water. “Do you remember anything?“
Luna accepted the glass of water. She thought for a while. “A little bit.“
Last night…
After sending Gwen back home, she fell asleep in the taxi.
Later on…
She subconsciously lowered her head, wanting to check her own body.
Theo gently pressed into her arms. “You’re fine. They only force -fed and drenched you in alcohol. They did not do any substantial harm to you.“
Then, Theo sighed, “But if the person that rescued you came a little bit later… it would be hard to say then.“
Luna bit her lips. She was drunk on alcohol, but while dazed, she still remembered bits and pieces. “Last night… was Joshua the one that rescued me?“ Theo nodded. “It’s him.“
