Chapter 1097


    There was nothing but silenceing from the other end of the line.


    A split secondter, the call ended with a m.


    Joshua’s expression darkened when he heard the dial tone. He could not believe that Fiona and Aura


    were in contact with each other…


    Although, this exined why Fiona had so many people helping her in Banyan City, despite this being


    her first time here.


    Therefore, Dr. Robert’s ident was not an ident after all. Someone had nned this.


    If it was not for Aura’s help, Fiona could not have made it to Yellowstone Vige so quickly.


    As soon as he thought of this, Joshua ordered in a low voice, “Lucas, investigate the men who are


    guarding Granny Lynch immediately! “


    If his guesses were correct…one of Granny Lynch’s bodyguards had been in on this with Fiona all along.

    Lucas nodded and was about to leave with Zach and Yuri when he caught sight of Luna, who was still in


    Joshua’s arms. “What about her?“


    Joshua’s energy was depleted entirely at this point, so he could not possibly carry Luna back down the


    mountain like before. However, if either he or the bodyguards were to carry her, it did not seem


    appropriate at all.


    “Don’t worry.“ Joshua closed his eyes and leaned against the giant rock, still holding Luna in his arms.


    “My backup ising soon.“


    If it were not for the bad weather, he and Luna would not end up in this situation in the first ce.


    Lucas froze upon hearing this. What did Joshua mean by backup?


    Who was going to be backing him up in such a deste countryside and on top of a mountain, no less?


    How would they arrive?


    Just as he was puzzled about this, all of a sudden, the sound of rotor des punctured through the air.


    Lucas’ entire body stiffened, and he immediately lifted his head—


    “Oh my God, it’s a helicopter! “


    “It is! “


    Havinge from a vige just as deste and secluded as this one, Zach and Yuri had never seen a


    helicopter before, so they could not help but gasp when they saw the helicopter flying toward them.


    Lucas let out a small sigh when he saw the helicopter headed in their direction. It had been years since


    hest saw this helicopter.


    This was the team of trained bodyguards that Joshua had been developing in private. Joshua had never


    allowed them to jump into action, except in life-or- death situations or emergencies.


    Thest time Lucas ever saw this helicopter, as well as the team of bodyguards flying it, was six years


    ago when Luna went missing…


    Lucas let out a sigh, then turned to nce at Zach and Yuri, who were staring in awe at the helicopter


    above them. “Come on, let’s go. The helicopter is here to pick up Sir and Ma’am. We’ll have to hike down


    the mountain on foot.“


    The delight on Zach and Yuri’s faces dissipated almost immediately. “Oh, okay.“


    The two of them followed Lucas slowly down the muddy mountain trail.


    None of them seemed to notice that Lucas had started referring to Luna as ‘Ma’am’ instead of what he


    used to call her.


    The helicopternded on the helipad at the mountaintop. A few trained bodyguards leaped out of the


    helicopter and quickly made their way to Joshua’s side. Then, they picked up both him and Luna and


    strode back onto the helicopter. “Where to, Sir?“


    Sitting in the helicopter, Joshua let out a sigh and nced at Luna, who was still passed out in hisp


    due to extreme exhaustion. “Let’s go back to Banyan City. Also…tell the rest of the men to escort the


    remaining people in the vi back to Banyan City as well.“


    “Yes, Sir! “


    Luna slept for a long time, and during this time, she was stuck in a dream.


    In her dream, someone was caressing her head tenderly, telling her how foolish she was.


    The person held her sometimes, and at other times,id down in herp, looking up at her. Sometimes,


    they would even stroke her face gently.


    Although Luna did not know who this person was, she did not feel repulsed by their actions.


    After that, the dream changed.


    First, she dreamt that Fiona was standing at the edge of the cliff, threatening to cut off the ropes holding


    Nigel up. After that, Aura was standing in her ce instead.


    Finally…the person holding the knife was Neil instead.


    In her dream, Neil stared at her with an evil grin she had never seen before.
