Chapter 2953


    "Yes, it''s me."


    It was none other than John, who disappeared the day before with


    Anne''s body and their daughter, Sammie. At this moment, he was standing at Joshua''s door with an


    umbre in the pouring rain, his eyes bloodshot. "I was the one who killed Jacqueline."


    John wanted to exact revenge against Jacqueline ever since finding out about Anne''s death, but he


    never once dreamed that Luna, the person whom he med for Anne''s death, would risk everything,


    including her status and future, to murder Jacqueline in front of so many people...


    It should have been him, and only him.


    Therefore, after seeing the newsst night, John decided not to hide any longer and instead went to the


    hospital to kill Jacqueline once and for all. If it were not for the fact that Willow was already arrested, he


    would have killed her, too.


    Joshua sighed as he stared at John''s sunken face. "I knew it was you."


    There were no records of John or Sammie leaving the city, so this meant that they had been in hiding


    and never left Banyan City in the first ce.


    After what happened the night before, there was no way John would not find out, nor take matters into


    his own hands.

    "I want to leave this ce with Sammie and Anne." John lifted his head to stare at Joshua with


    bloodshot eyes. "I heard what you said from the videos posted online—I don''t need you or Luna to help


    me take care of Sammie.


    “All I need you to do now is to arrange for a van to send me and Sammie out of here, safe and sound.


    I''l] raise Sammie by myself, and we''ll live happily ever after on our own —away from all of you.


    "The only reason Anne suffered this fate is because of you. If she never met any of you, our lives would


    be peaceful and tranquil." Joshua furrowed his brows upon hearing this. As reluctant as he was, he had


    to admit that... John was right.


    If John and Anne never met him and Luna, they would have continued to live a happy and peaceful life


    together.


    At the thought of this, Joshua sighed and replied, "Alright. I''ll do that."


    He, too, wished that John and Sammie could get away from them and live their best lives together.


    Joshua made far too many enemies throughout his life, and after what happened with Anne, everyone


    in Banyan City knew just how much John and little Sammie meant to them.


    If, like Jacqueline, his enemies decided to target John and Sammie instead...


    Joshua could not even begin to imagine the consequences of that.


    "For safety purposes, I hope that you and Sammie will adopt new identities so no one can find you."


    "We will." John nodded and let out a bitter smile. "Now that


    Jacqueline is dead, I''ve also be a murderer. Changing our names and identities will be the best


    option for us."


    Joshua sighed and nodded when he heard this. "When are you leaving?"


    "Right now." John sighed and replied with a sniffle, ''But there''s something else I wish to ask of you,


    Joshua."


    "Tell me."


    "I hope—" he lifted his head to gaze at Joshua. "I hope that neither of you, not even Luna, will try to


    find us, and no one will ever find out where we''ve gone.


    "Sammie and I never want to see any of you again in our lives— especially not Luna."
