Chapter 183: Chapter 183
Third Person's Point of view
"Aren't you going to the company now?" Leilani asked as she leaned against Luna's open door.
Luna, on the other hand, just gave her a small peek and continued to wear her stilettos. Leilani has been watching her since earlier and looks like she wants to say something but Luna is not entertaining her.
“We will go to Jessica's building. I'm with Uncle Hernan so I don't have to worry. I'm sure Jessica will be afraid of him - "
“What if she is really scared but Adonis doesn't want to come back? Just like you said, she doesn't remember anything. What if-"
“Will you always let me live in what if? It's been a few months since I almost died thinking about it, Leilani. You know that. I can not sleep. I can't eat. I am full of remorse in my heart.” Luna finished wearing her stilettos so she took her purse to go to Uncle Hernan.
“I know, Luna. Yet, you know you need to be prepared for the possibilities. I'm scared for you ... ”The last line could hardly be heard because her voice had weakened. Leilani also didn't want to interfere because she also had a problem that she had to fix. Maybe their conversation will turn to temper again when she becomes involved in what Luna is going to do now, like before.
"Well ..." Leilani continued. "I just don't want to see you struggling." Leilani turned around and was about to leave as Luna had to stop her with a word.
"Thank you."

[Dining table]
Everyone is eating with uncle Hernan while Athen is just checking around because the ambiance is too strict. The innocent child is unaware of the tension going on. But after Athena watched the news from Adonis, Luna was grateful that Athena did not ask her.
"What is your plan when I get Adonis back here?" Uncle Hernan broke the silence while Luna stopped eating. She hadn't thought about the question yet, but she already had the answer in her mind.
“I will run the company while he still has no memory. I will also make sure that I can bring back his memory as I take care of him.”
"How sure are you that you can't bring down the company while you can give my nephew time?"
Luna gulped. "I can do it. Just trust me.”
“You know that since then, I have not trusted you. You know what your parents did, but you are still searching for— ”
*clang*
Loud sound of cutlery on the plate echoed on the table because of what Wayne had done. Athen was scared, so Luna hugged her and covered her ears.
“Dad! How many times have you said that. We’re in front of the food, don’t you still end up with that discussion? Everyone has made progress! Maybe Adonis has forgotten that thing!”
“Shut up! You know nothing! All you know is to follow your luxury! History will never be erased, Wayne!”
"Indeed. But it's not just because it can't be erased, you have to be stuck there too..Again, it's not Luna's fault, her parents' fault—"
"As long as an Everdeen's blood is on her, I won't tire of hating her—"
Hernan couldn't continue what he was going to say as Athen cried out loud because of the shouting made by the father and son.
“What about the daughter of Adonis? Will you hate her too because she has Everdeen in her blood? Then, if that's the case ... you're the worst person I've ever met.”
“Wayne, it’s okay. I can't blame your daddy. He's just worried about Adonis.” Luna smiled.
“No, it's not! His hate will never be justified! Just because of what your parents have done! I'm getting tired of it because you just let him do what he does to you!” Wayne stood up in his chair.
"Wayne!" It was Wendy who called while the others at the table were silent.
"If I only knew my father was making a seed of anger ..." Wayne shook his head and walked away. Wendy immediately followed him.
Awkward silence fell on the table until Hernan spoke again.
"Hurry up there because we're leaving."
Luna just nodded and didn't speak anymore.
~~~~~~~
They were leaving while Athen was asleep. Even the driver is Mark and Raymond is now with him to support Hernan later. No one speaks throughout the vehicle and driving until they get to the right building. The first to come down was Raymond to support Hernan.
They go straight in. The guard would have prevented them from entering but he saw that Hernan Salander was with her now, so he was scared. Even though Hernan can no longer walk, his name is still noisy because of his good business management. Many business executive also admire him.
They look at each other as they enter. Luna, on the other hand, was just behind and following. She didn't know what Hernan would do next but she had a lot of trust in the man.
When they arrived on the right floor, Luna's heart was beating fast because she might see the position she reached when she first came here.
The knocker on the door was Mark while the one pushing the wheelchair was Raymond. Luna's palms are sweating.
"Come in."
The door opened and Adonis appeared sitting on the sofa while Jessica was in the swivel chair while they had not seen us because she was doing something at her desk.
“If you're just going to hide my nephew, you should have done it well. It must be far away where no one can see him. Why here? How desperate you can be?”
Jessica quickly raised her eyes when she heard the cold voice. Her eyes also widened because she didn't know how they got in even though she had already reminded the guard.
She looked at Luna with a cold stare at her now.
"How did you get in here?!"
“It looks like your brain is too busy. We just enter the door, why you are not aware? You seem to be very calm, Ms. Sy?
“Get out of here now! If you don't leave, I'll call the police! This is trespassing! You're all banned here!” She picked up the telephone and put it to her ear. She would have even dialed the number when Luna spoke.
“Try to do what you want. Then, what should I call you? Kidnapper? What should be the case with you? Kidnapping? I know love is making you stupid. However, why do you seem to have too much stupidity?.” She grinned to make her even angrier.
"How dare you!"
"If you don't bring my nephew back now, you know what will happen, Jessica."
“What? What will you do to me? Will you kill me ” Jessica laughed but Hernan quickly stopped her because of her words.
"Why would I waste my time to a low class like you?"
