Chapter 1096

“But I hope that if you can’t hold on anymore, then let go of me… The children can live without their
father, but they need you.

“Nigel and Nellie have already lost Neil. I can’t let them lose their mother, too.“

Luna bit down on her lip and stared at Joshua. She could not help but feel her chest tighten when she
saw the dim look in Joshua’s eyes.

She could tell that…Joshua wanted to let go of her and fall down the cliff himself.

“Don’t you dare move! “ Luna yelled as she furrowed her brows. “I can still hold onto you! Besides— “

She bit down on her lip and finally spilled the secret she had discovered in hopes that Joshua would
keep his hope. “Neil is actually alive. Joshua, Neil is alive, and so is Theo! “

Joshua, who had been struggling to release himself from her grasp, paused when he heard this. He lifted
his head to stare at her with wide eyes. “What… What are you talking about?“

“I said, they’re still alive! “ Luna bit down on her lip. “Joshua, you can’t die. You have to help me find Neil!
You were the reason that I almost lost him in the first place, but now that he’s still alive, you have to help
me find him! If you don’t, can you even call yourself a man?! “

Joshua remained silent for a moment upon hearing this. Then, he curled his lips into a smile and
muttered, “Neil is alive… Neil is alive, after all…“

He lifted his head to fixate his unfaltering gaze on Luna’s face. “Since Neil didn’t die in the explosion…
Does this mean I don’t owe you that much anymore, Luna?“

After all, ever since Neil’s death, Joshua felt indebted to her and felt as though he could never match up
to her ever again.



“Luna! Sir! “ All of a sudden, footsteps and familiar cries rang out from a distance.

Lucas, along with Zach and Yuri, appeared near the cliff’s edge and immediately caught sight of Luna.

Her thin frame was perched on the steep incline, her body swaying slightly in the wind, but her hand was
still holding onto Joshua tightly.

The three men were astounded at this sight. None of them expected that such a tiny, scrawny woman
like Luna would be able to harness so much strength!

After all, even though Joshua was slender, he was still a muscular man. Despite that, Luna was still able
to hold onto him, with her tiny body pressed against the edge of the cliff.

On top of that…

Her left hand was still inflamed due to the recent fracture of her little finger.

The three men immediately lunged forward to pull Joshua up from the edge of the cliff.

Seeing that Joshua was safe and sound, Luna let out a sigh of relief, plopped onto the ground, and
passed out.

As soon as he was rescued, Joshua leaned against the giant rock, catching his breath, then immediately
pulled the fainted Luna into his arms.

His entire heart softened at the thought of what he had almost gone through. He pulled Luna close
against his body and heaved a deep sigh.

Thank God.

Thank God he was still alive. Thank God Luna and Nigel were still alive, but most importantly, Neil… was
alive as well.



Fiona, on the other hand…

Joshua turned to glance at the endless abyss below.

Having fallen from such a great height, he guessed that Fiona could not have survived.

All of a sudden, the sound of a ringtone he was not familiar with blared out from among the grass.

Lucas furrowed his brows and followed the sound of the ringtone.

It was Fiona’s phone, but none of them could recognize the number that was calling.

Joshua picked up the call with a frown. A familiar female voice rang out from the other end of the line,
“Did Joshua and Luna manage to find you?“

This voice…

Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Aura Gibson?
