It turned out the child in Luna’s womb was his all along.
She had not slept with Theo at all!
Joshua could not believe that Alice had managed to trick him into believing the father of Luna’s baby was Theo.
Joshua would never forgive himself if he ended up losing his unborn child!
It was already late at night, so the streets were empty, apart from Joshua’s car. He whizzed through the open roads, heading straight toward the airport, with Luke following closely behind.
Luke was worried about Joshua, so he immediately followed as soon as he saw him leaving the hospital.
“This man has gone crazy! “ Luke flung his cigarette away and stepped on the gas pedal, trying to catch up with Joshua.
However, no matter how fast his car went, he could not keep up with Joshua at all.
Suddenly, Joshua’s phone rang.
It was Lucas.
Joshua slowed his car down slightly and picked up the phone. “How’s Neil and Nellie?“
Lucas lowered his voice, “I managed to get in touch with Zach and Yuri. It… doesn’t seem good.“
Joshua immediately furrowed his brows. ”What do you mean, ‘it doesn’t seem good’? Are Neil and Nellie safe?”
”Nellie… is safe and sound. ” Joshua could tell that Lucas was mincing his words as though there was something he wanted to say yet, at the same time, did not dare to.
Finally, Lucas let out an exhale and said, ”Theo was there with them. Initially, he wanted to bring Neil and Nellie away, but he discovered that their bodyguards were Alice’s men, so they decided to split up instead. Zach and Yuri took Nellie along with them and pretended to leave the country, but in reality, they had been hiding in a house across from Neil and Nellie’s summer camp all this while.
”Alice’s men found Theo and Neil, but… They couldn’t escape and instead got trapped inside the summer house. They… ”
Lucas paused for a moment, then continued in a choked voice, ”They poured gasoline all over the house and set it on fire. The fire caused a gigantic explosion… The firefighters couldn’t even get in at all. Theo and Neil… don’ t have much of a fighting chance.
