Chapter 2096 Joshua furrowed his brows and clutched the steering wheel tightly in his hands. “I guess we have to find Charlotte as soon as we can.”
He sighed and added, “My thought is that Theo doesn’t really want to marry Roanne because he loves her, but because…”
He narrowed his eyes. “Because he feels guilty for her death. He thinks that he played an undeniable role in Roanne’s death, and thus he’s doing all he can to make it up to her so that he’ll be less burdened by his grief.
“This was why he broke up with Rachel, and I’m guessing this is the same reason he plans to marry Roanne.”
Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua, still gripping her phone tightly. “Does this mean that if we find Charlotte as soon as we can and force her to admit her mistake and take responsibility for Roanne’s murder… Theo’s guilt may be lessened?”
Joshua nodded and replied in a low voice, “That seems to be the way to go, logically speaking.” Luna closed her eyes and sighed. She knew what Joshua was trying to say. Logically speaking, they would be able to help theo as long as they could find Charlotte.
However, what Joshua was implying was that this was just a guess, and if Theo were to stand by his decision even after Charlotte took responsibility for her actions, they would have no other way of helping him. As soon as she thought of this, Luna sighed and said, “I guess we’ll have to try.” Even if things had not turned out the way they wanted, they had at least tried.
Joshua nodded.
Then, he glanced at Luna through the rearview mirror and said, “Actually, I had wanted to ask Dr. Liddell something. Do you remember the dream your mother mentioned she had during her stay in Lincoln City?
“In her dreams, Sirius had come to her and told her the truth about my Aunt Lucy’s death. On top of that, he had admitted that the reason he hadn’t told her the truth about this earlier was that he did not know if she could take it, and now that she was in a coma, he chose to spill everything because he didn’t think she’d ever wake up…” Joshua paused. “Don’t you think this doesn’t sound like a dream?” Luna fell silent upon hearing this. She wrung her hands and tried to recall every word that Rosalyn had said.
