Chapter 1749
Despite knowing that Gwen had been saved, Luna and Theo were still worried about her.
Gwen’s condition on top of the contract signing with Mr. Hanson were both factors that propelled Luna to get back to Merchant City as soon as she could.
Therefore, she had no choice but to suggest this to Jim.
Before leaving, the both of them went to Rosalyn’s room to check on them once more.
Charles was still clutching Rosalyn’s hand, muttering the same things as before.
He had never stopped, not even for a minute.
Despite the fact that he was starting to foam at the edges of his mouth, he still continued uttering the same words over and over.
One of the assistants handed him a glass of water, but he spilled it without even bothering to take a sip, accusing the assistant of wanting to drown Rosalyn.
Seeing this, Jim had no choice but to instruct Dr. Rachel to take meticulous care of his parents while they were gone.
“Don’t worry.” Dr. Rachel smiled. “You’re Theo’s friends, and not only that, but I also played a role in Rosalyn’s condition deteriorating, so don’t worry; I’ll take good care of them.”
Jim could not help raising his brows suggestively when he heard this.
He glanced teasingly at Theo, then at Dr. Rachel. “Dare I say the both of you would make a cute couple?”
Theo quickly waved his hands in dismissal. “Don’t say things like this, Jim. How can I even match up to Dr. Liddell…”
A glimmer of disappointment flashed through Dr. Rachel’s eyes when she heard this. She curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile and said, “Don’t joke around at our expense, Jim.
“After all, I’m four years older than theo, so how can I possibly date someone younger than m e?”
With that, she closed the folder she was holding in her hands and added, “I still have some
other patients I need to check on, so please excuse me.”
Jim was a little embarrassed at being countered like this. He let out an awkward smile and said, “Alright then, we’ll be off now, Dr. Liddell.”
With that, the three of them left after saying goodbye to Dr. Rachel.
As they got into the car, Jim suddenly frowned and glanced around at his surroundings.”
Where’s Joshua?”
Were the four of them not supposed to go back to Merchant City together? Where was Joshua?
Theo smiled and replied, “He said that since he was already in Lincoln City, he wanted to stop by and visit his old pal, Caleb.”
Crawford Mansion.
Caleb furrowed his brows as he read the stack of papers Joshua had handed him. “It might be a little difficult for me…to help you investigate something that has happened more than twenty years ago.
“After all, I am only in my early twenties, so it’d be challenging to find out what happened even before I was born.”
Joshua curled his lips into a smile and replied, “I’m not even thirty yet, either, but you have to help me clear up what happened in the past. All of this means a lot to me.”
Caleb let out a sigh. “If your aunt and Colin Landry’s death were in fact of someone’s doing, then the Landry and Lynch families wouldn’t have become rivals for so long.”
Even though he had not known about the vengeance between the Lynch and Landry families before this, after witnessing what happened in Merchant City over the past year, he had a clearer idea already.
“I don’t think what you should be doing now is investigate something that happened in the past; it’s to give up on Luna.” He lifted his head to stare intently at Joshua and added, “The reason you would want to find an alternative outcome to what happened so many years ago is that you don’t want to give up on her.
“She’s just a woman; is she really that hard for you to let go?”
Joshua took a sip from his cup. “Well, the truth is, it is.”
Caleb stared at Joshua dazedly for a long time.
Joshua was one of the most intelligent and charming men he knew, and according to what he knew about him, Joshua was never someone to admit his failure.
