Luna’s hand that was holding her phone tightened slightly. “How did you know?“
On the other end of the phone, Theo sucked in a cold breath. “So, you really went to Sea City with
Joshua?“
Luna frowned but did not answer.
“Luna, didn’t we agree yesterday that I would go with you?“ Theo’s voice carried a hint of
disappointment. “I know you don’t want to trouble me, but I told you…“
Sucking in a deep breath, he frowned. “I ‘m on my way to Sea City, tell me where’s the location of the
hotel you’re in, I’ll go to you.“
Luna glanced at Luke Jones who was sitting in the passenger seat. He shrugged, then opened the door
and stepped out of the car. Luna was the only one left inside the car.
“Theo. “ She sucked in a deep breath. “I came here because my friend fell ill, I came to visit her, not for
traveling or for a vacation. Joshua is with me only because Luke is his friend too. You really don’t have to
come, I might be able to go home tomorrow.“
“But…“ On the other end of the phone, Theo frowned. “Do you know how I found out you went there with
Joshua? Alice told me. She just called and said the two of you have rekindled old flames. She asked
whether I would like to work together with her..but I rejected her. She said she’s on her way to Sea City. I
was worried she would make a fuss out of the fact that you and Joshua went to Sea City together…“
He paused for a moment. “I can at least help if I ‘m there with you.“
Luna paused. For the past few days, Alice had been laying low, she almost forgot there was still a ticking
time bomb beside Joshua in the form of Alice Gibson.
But, Luna’s hand that was holding her phone tightened slightly.
She came just in time. The Walter family was the cause of Gwen’s tragedy. If not for Alice, the Walter
family would never do that to Gwen. Since she followed them to Sea City this time, it was the perfect
opportunity to take revenge on Alice for old and new wrongs together!
But…
Still, she sucked in a deep breath. “Theo, I know you won’t listen even if I ask you not to come. But…“
She pursed her lips. “If you really want to help me, please don’t come to Sea City. Go abroad, to Neil and
Nellie’s summer camp, help me take care of them. “
Luna still remembered; Alice told her she had someone stationed beside the children. No matter how
smart they were, they were just two young children, when faced with absolute power, they could never
escape. Even if they had Zach and Yuri beside them, the two bodyguards were, to be straightforward,
simple musclemen. Luna could sleep peacefully at night if she knew Theo was with them.
“Neil and Nellie…“ Theo frowned, hesitating slightly. “Are they in danger?”
“Perhaps.” Luna sucked in a deep breath. “You know how important the children are to me. I’m not afraid
of what Alice will do to me, but I’m worried that she’ll harm my children at the same time that she’s
targeting me.”
For a long while, there was nothing but silence from the other end of the phone. A moment later, Theo
sighed, “Then, you be careful. I’ll buy my tickets now and fly over to see them.”
Then, he could not help himself and asked, “How long do I have to be there to protect them?”
“Wait for me. I’ll fly over and meet you there when I can.”
“Alright.” After another long moment of silence, Theo sighed, “Be careful when you’re in Sea City.”
