Luna bit her lip, raised her eyes stubbornly, and looked straight at Joshua. “Why?“
Since something like this happened to Gwen, she would still worry even if she went back to Banyan City, it was impossible for her to concentrate on work.
Joshua’s gaze remained emotionless. “Even if you want to stay here in Sea City, what can you do for Gwen? Continue to feel guilty and blame yourself, keep reminding her of what happened, so you can both be sad together?“
The man’s words made Luna take a step back involuntarily.
She stared at him in disbelief, opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came forth.
Joshua frowned, his voice calm but cold. “Firstly, you can’t take back what has happened to her. The most important thing now is to stop her from seeing the people who are related to this incident, so her mental and physical wounds can start healing. You should know, all of these happened to her because of you. Even if she doesn’t blame you, can you guarantee that she won’t be reminded of this incident every time she sees you?“
Luna’s heart ached dully as if it was punched by a heavy object.
Joshua could not bear seeing her pale face and hurt expression.
But he frowned and continued. “Secondly, since she doesn’t remember the reason why Walter wanted to kill her, you shouldn’t force her to remember. Even if she does remember, can you stay by her side and protect her constantly? Forgetting is the best form of protection for her. And finally.“
The man sucked in a deep breath. “Luke Jones owes me a favor. If I ask him to protect Gwen and her father here in Sea City, he can do it.“
With that, Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at Luna, her complexion pale and sallow from her emotional turmoil. “If you stay here, not only will you make it difficult for Gwen to forget her traumatic memories and sadness, you’ll also make yourself feel more and more guilty, more and more ashamed.
That’s why you have to follow me back to Banyan City.“
Luna looked at him, he seemed so far away from her. His voice seemed to drift over from another distant world.
She had to admit, his words were calm and reasonable.
But also cold and unfeeling.
He reiterated coldly the fact that she got Gwen involved, that she failed to protect her.
Her incapability, her weakness, and the harm she brought her friends.
In a split second, her well of emotions surged up in her chest.
She looked at Joshua and was about to say something but she swallowed back the words at the tip of her tongue.
