chapter 1650
Inside the yard, Theo was pressing Dr. Rachel down in a chair, clutching her arm as he explained Luna’s
situation to her.
When she heard Luna’s footsteps, Dr. Rachel glanced at her coldly but did not say a word.
“Dr. Liddell.” Luna let out an exhale and slowly approached her. “Please give me two hours to think this
over. I’ll have to discuss this with my family.”
Dr. Rachel shot Luna an impassive glance and replied, ” Seeing that Theo was the one who brought us
together, I’ll allow you to have two hours.”
With that, she glanced at Theo and added, “Remember that you promised me two paintings.”
Theo nodded, smiling. “Yes, I’ll stick to my word.”
With that, he turned to smile at Luna. “Didn’t you say you wanted to discuss this with your family? Go
now.”
Luna nodded. After summoning Gwen to look after these two guests for the time being, she sprinted out
of the door and headed straight to the hospital Caleb was in.
However, to Luna’s surprise, there was another uninvited guest in Caleb’s room when she got to the
hospital.
Joshua.
At this moment, he was attempting to negotiate with Caleb. “I saved your life, and in return, you help me
find a doctor. It doesn’t sound like too much, does it?”
Caleb curled his lips into a smile and replied, “But didn’t she reject your request when you approached
her six
months ago, Mr. Lynch? Even though I have some influence in Lincoln City, people like these have no
regard for power at all, and I cannot promise anything.”
“It’s okay; just you trying will be good enough.” Joshua turned to stare out the window as he added,
“You’d better go home in the afternoon. You shouldn’t stay in Merchant City any longer.”
Caleb chuckled. “Are you worried that I might steal Luna away from you, Mr. Lynch?”
Joshua could not help laughing when he heard this. “Well, first off, you don’t even like women, and even
if you do, Luna belongs to me, and no one can take her away from me, not you, not anyone else.”
The first thing Luna heard when she wal ked into Caleb’s room was this.
She furrowed her brows upon hearing this and said, “You’re overestimating yourself, Mr. Lynch.”
The two men turned around unanimously when they heard her voice.
Joshua stared at her, frowning. “What are you doing here?”
Caleb had just told him that Luna planned to visit him in the afternoon, so what was she doing here at
this hour?
“I’m here to see Master Crawford, of course.” Luna shot Joshua a cold glance and added, “If I hadn’t
come, I wouldn’t have heard you say something so outrageous, Mr. Lynch.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes but did not reply.
Caleb quickly tried to salvage the situation. “I thought you were going to come in the afternoon.”
He noticed the sweat on Luna’s forehead and asked, “
What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Luna let out an exhale and turned to glance at Joshua. “I want to talk to Master Crawford in private, so
can you please excuse us, Mr. Lynch?”
“No.” Joshua plopped down in a nearby chair. “Just now, when Caleb and I were talking, you did not
excuse us at all and instead stormed into the room immediately, so why should I give you the courtesy?”
Luna rolled her eyes at him.
Caleb smiled and piped up, “That’s okay. You can say anything you want to me, Luna. Mr. Lynch isn’t an
outsider, so you don’t have to be worried.”
Luna furrowed her brows.
What did he mean, Joshua was not an outsider?
However, on second thought, Luna decided he was right; she did not need to hide this from Joshua at all.
“Master Crawford.” Luna let out an exhale and lifted her head to stare intently at Caleb. “I hear that
there’s a famous doctor from Lincoln City who is capable of helping patients awaken from their
vegetative states. Do you know of this doctor?”
Caleb froze for a moment, then glanced at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch…is also here to talk to me because of this
doctor.”
