Chapter 1062

“Why don’t you just say you’re sending them to jail?“

Joshua let out a chuckle and replied impassively, “ Well, that’s another way of putting it.

“If the two children still haven’t realized their mistake and don’t think they’ve done anything wrong, then
it’s about time they need to get treated as well. After all…“

He raised his eyebrows. “They’re involved in breaking a mentally insane patient out of her treatment
facility.“ With that, he stood up and continued, “Luke, I know what you took from me, and I even know
where it is, but if you don’t want to hand it over, then it’s okay.

“I heard Dr. Robert say that if he doesn’t find his wife before this evening, he’s planning to sue Nigel
and Nellie in court. Even though I’m their father,

I’ve never been emotionally close to them, so I won’t get involved in this potential lawsuit at all.

“If he indeed sues them, then it’s up to the legal system to determine their outcomes. Whether they go to
prison or get sent into an education center, it’s none of my business anymore.“

With that, Joshua turned and strode away.

Luna’s entire body was now pressed against the door. As Joshua’s receding footsteps echoed through
the hallway, she felt as though someone had pierced

a knife into her chest and stirred its contents around.

Dr. Robert was going to sue the children.

Joshua was going to send the children into a youth education center.

Was she going to continue hiding?



All they wanted was for her to come out of her hiding spot. If that was what they wanted, then she would
do as they please.

As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale, flung Gwen’s hand away, and pushed the door
open with a slam.

Meanwhile, Joshua had just reached the elevator, with Lucas following behind him.

His figure was tall and lean as always and looked as cold and unapproachable as Luna remembered.

Luna bit down on her lip and clenched her teeth, still staring at Joshua’s retreating figure. “Joshua Lynch!
“

Joshua, who was just about to get into the elevator, froze when he heard her voice.

He curled his lips into a smirk, and a triumphant smile flashed across his face before he regained his
composure and turned around with a steely expression.

Luna was standing at the end of the hallway, dressed in a white hospital gown.

Her entire frame was bony and frail, like a limp paper kite caught in a strong breeze.

Joshua suppressed the urge to rush forward and pull her into his arms and instead said impassively, “I
was right—you are here.“

“Yes, I am.“ Luna met his gaze without a single ounce of fear. “You’re right. The ‘thing’ that you lost has
been right here all along.“

She let out an exhale and staggered toward him somewhat unsteadily. “I’ll go back with you, but please,
don’t send Nigel and Nellie away…“



At first, she was too far away from him, so Joshua could not see her face properly, but as she got closer
and closer, Joshua suddenly noticed how pale her face was.

Luna’s eyes were red and swollen, as though she had been crying not long ago.

Joshua suddenly recalled the cries he heard downstairs when he and Lucas had gotten out of the car.

At that time, Lucas had even commented on how miserable this woman sounded and said something
about how hospitals were where the living and the dead were separated.

It was not until this moment that Joshua realized…

The heart-wrenching sobs he had overheard downstairs were possibly Luna’s…

“Joshua.“ Just as he was caught up in his thoughts, Luna had already made her way over and was now
standing in front of him.

She stared at him and offered a bitter, doleful smile. “I’ll go back with you.“
