When Luna and Joshua arrived at the cherry blossom tree, it was already 2 a.m.

Lucas and his men used gigantic flashlights to illuminate the night for the two of them.

Initially, Joshua had wanted to use a shovel, but he suddenly recalled that the child they buried underneath the tree did not have a casket and that the shovel might accidentally destroy the child’s corpse. Therefore, in the end, he asked Lucas to find them a small spade instead.

It was in the middle of the night, so Lucas had no choice but to send the men out to search for a spade nearby.

However, after Lucas left, Joshua turned around to discover that Luna had already kneeled on the ground and started digging the grave with her bare hands.

A twinge of pain shot through Joshua’s eyes as he watched her scrawny figure as well as her hands that possessed only nine fingers digging in the dirt. He let out an exhale and quickly strode over to grab hold of her soiled hands.

Her hands were so soft that after only a few minutes of rubbing against the dirt, they became bloodied.

Joshua stared at her bloodstained hands and let out a deep sigh. “Let me.”

With that, he shoved her aside and started digging the soil himself.
