“Hello, is this Ms.
Luna?” a strange, unfamiliar voice rang out from the other end of the line.
Luna furrowed her brows and quickly answered, “Yes, speaking, and you are…”
“My name is Sean Wheeler, and I’m a car mechanic.” The man’s voice sounded rich and deep as he
said, “Long story short, I came across a woman passed out on the side of the road when I took out the
trash just now.
“She had no phone or identification on her, but I noticed that she seemed pretty ill, so I sent her to the
nearest clinic.
After she woke up, she gave me this number and told me to contact you.
“She told me her last name is Craig.
Can you come pick her up?”
There was a hint of embarrassment in the man’s voice as he explained, “I didn’t bring any money out
with me, so I couldn’t pay for her treatment.
Can you bring some cash with you to pay the doctor too?”
Luna’s entire face lit up when she heard this.
After enquiring about the clinic’s address, Luna stormed out the door without even bothering to change
her clothes.
However, she had just taken two steps when someone grabbed hold of her arm.
She turned around with a frustrated look on her face.
Behind her, Joshua had picked up a trench coat from the coat rack next to the door and was standing
behind her.
“You’re too impatient; I’m not going to let you drive alone.” With that, he strode over to his black Masevati
without even turning back. Luna pursed her lips slightly, lunged toward the door, opened the door, and
got in. “Give me the address,” Joshua said impassively as he started the car.
* Luna quickly recited the address that Sean Wheeler had given her. This was a very rundown part of
town, so Luna quickly took out her phone and pulled up her navigation app, thinking that Joshua
probably did not know how to get there. However, to her surprise, he shot her an impassive glance and
stopped her.
“No need; I know how to get there.” Luna tumed to stare at him, wide-eyed in disbelief.
She had lived in Merchant City for six years with Malcolm, and it was officially a year since Hunter had
brought her here.
However, even with seven years’ living experience in this city, she still was not entirely sure of the
location of this clinic, so how could Joshua possibly know how to get there?
“I’m much more familiar with Merchant City than you are now.”
Luna rolled her eyes at him.
“Don’t patronize me; how long have you even been here?” “One year and twelve days.” Joshua
explained as he stared at the road ahead, his head placed elegantly on the steering wheel, “It has been
one year and fifteen days since Hunter Quinn abducted you.” Luna furrowed her brows and took out her
phone to glance at the time. He was…right.
After putting down her phone, she gave him an awkward smile and said, “I thought you were just
bullshitting me.”
After all, why would someone as busy as Joshua have the time to remember such mundane dates?
“I remember everything.” Joshua curled his lips into a smile and said, with a hint of helplessness in his
deep voice, “I remember every second of every day we spent apart.”
Seven years ago, Luna, who was pregnant with their triplets, had disappeared from his world.
One year ago, when she disappeared once more, Joshua had naturally been in a state of frenetic worry.
Every single second without her felt like a century, so how could he possibly forget that?
A surge of warmth spread through Luna’s heart when she heard this. She bit her lip and did not dare to
meet Joshua’s gaze.
Instead, she fixed her eyes on the road before them. Joshua remembered every second they spent
apart. This man, who had just arrived in Merchant City a year ago, knew all of the roads in this city and
could even locate such a small clinic in the rural part of town. He…seemed to have done and sacrificed a
lot for Luna, but what about her? It seemed like…she had not done anything for him in retum.
