From the looks of it, Joshua was asking both Luna and Gwen when, in fact, the question was for Gwen
alone. Luna never had any trouble when confronting Steven; Gwen was the uncertain one. Everyone
had seen what sort of crazy stuff Gwen had done because of Luke. Joshua was a little worried to let
Gwen face Steve again.
“I‘ll try my best.”
Of course, Gwen knew why Joshua was worried. She curled up her lips and smiled.
“I‘ve regained my bearings.” Although she could not guarantee her emotions would be in check when
she saw Steven, after Luna and Rachel spent the entire morning counseling her, her mind was clearer.
“That‘s good.” Joshua nodded and looked at his wife again.
” Take care of Gwen. And...”
He paused. “Remember to contact me if something comes up. If you can‘t get me, you can contact
Nigel or Neil too.” Luna did not answer immediately. She kept silent for a while before nodding.
“Alright.”
After Joshua finished making arrangements, he left several strong bodyguards to protect Luna before
he finally left Howard Mansion.
After he left, Luna sighed and looked at Denise, who was lying on the floor with a swollen face due to
Gwen‘s slaps. “Ms. Hughes, do you regret any of it?”
She waved her hand to make a signal to the bodyguards to carry Denise. After that, they got into the
car and went back to the hotel. As soon as they reached the hotel, Luna got a call from Joshua.
“Thomas is doing fine. He was already awake when Lucas and I reached the hospital. Though...” He
looked into the room.
Thomas held Yannie‘s hand and refused to let go, all while persistently asking Yannie dozens of
questions.
Joshua sighed. “He can‘t remember what happened. He can only remember he had done something
with a woman. Now, he‘s grabbing Yannie‘s arm and asking her about it.”
Luna‘s heart throbbed as she felt sorry for Thomas and Yannie. If Yannie told Thomas the truth, they
did not know if his heart could accept the harsh truth. However, if Yannie did not tell Thomas the
truth...he would think she was the one whom he had sexual intercourse with.
Even if Yannie was disconcerted with Thomas, he would not understand Yannie and what made her
struggle. Yannie’s reaction would be misunderstood as being a bad–tempered, fussy woman.
Luna felt suffocated by these thoughts and sighed. “Yannie... What does she say?” “She didn‘t say
anything.” Joshua sighed and turned to look at Yannie and Thomas once more. After that, he walked
toward the elevator. “I’ve already let Lucas contact the Hughes family to get them to go look for you and
Gwen at the hotel to bring Denise back.”
“To avoid any confrontation between you and Gwen with those from the Hughes family, I only allowed
Steven to go look for both of you at the hotel. My take on this is that Steven is younger than his parents
and has a higher acceptance level.
“Besides, I‘m afraid Steven‘s parents might do something outrageous once they see Gwen. It‘s best to
let Steven go alone. I‘m going to look for Thomas‘ father now. Be careful when you deal with Steven.”
Before Joshua entered the elevator, he remembered something and reminded, “Remember. Denise
isn‘t a real Hughes and doesn‘t know the connection between Steven and Luke. You can make use of
this point.”
