Chapter 676

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.

”Just now, Zach and Yuri told me that the firefighters have sealed off the scene entirely. Since none of
them could get into the house, they’re forbidding anyone else to enter either. Nellie… watched everything
unfold with her own eyes, and she was so traumatized that she passed out. Zach and Yuri are sending
her to the hospital right now… ”

Lucas finished his sentence and waited but did not hear any response from the other end of the line. “
Sir?“

The next moment, a deafening crash rang out through the phone. The next thing Lucas could hear was
Luke’s worried voice calling out, “Joshua!

Joshua! “

Fortunately, because there were not many vehicles o n the street at this hour, Joshua’s car only collided
with the road divider, even though he lost control of the steering wheel.

He regained consciousness after a short while.

Joshua opened his bloodshot eyes and muttered in a hoarse voice, “Neil… Luna…“



“They’ve found Luna.“ Luke closed his eyes and sighed. “She passed out at the airport, and one of the
cleaning staff found her. She’s already in the hospital.“

Joshua opened his mouth slightly. “What about the baby…“

“She miscarried.“

The glimmer of hope in Joshua’s eyes dimmed when he heard this. “Then, Neil…“

“The firefighters managed to put out the fire. They couldn’t find Theo or Neil’s bodies, but they
discovered some human remains at the scene.

Unfortunately, the DNA from the remains was so badly damaged that the scientists can’t even confirm if
the remains belong to them.

“But they’ve confirmed that the blood at the crime scene belongs to Theo and Neil. The police suspect
that when the fire started, Theo and Neil didn’t want to stay put and burn to death, so they opened the
window to escape. However, someone planted explosives outside the window, and as soon as they
opened it, the bomb went off— “

Joshua leaned against his headboard, his usually towering silhouette looking small and frail. He closed
his eyes, and tears trickled out of the corner of his eyes. “Then, what about Nellie?“

“Nellie’s traumatized by everything that has happened, and she’s receiving counseling right now.“ Luke
let out an exhale. “But, Joshua, now’s not the time to be sad. You…“

He tried to keep his voice steady as he delivered the most shocking news, “You have another son, but
he’s been diagnosed with leukemia. His condition worsened today, and the doctors managed to save
him, although just barely.

“You can’t give up.“
