Luna’s hand stiffened. After a moment, she let out a chuckle. “Did I hear you correctly, Miss Gibson? You hired people to kidnap my son and daughter. They’re sitting in front of me right now, putting ointment onto their wounds. Now you’re telling me you want to make a deal? I don’t think there’s anything to talk about.“

Leaning against the hospital bed, Alice closed her eyes. “What if the thing I wanted to talk to you about is me and Joshua’s divorce?“

Luna furrowed her brows. “What do you mean?“

“What I mean is, “ Alice answered. She took a deep breath and tried to make herself as clear as possible. “I wasn’t the one who hired the people to kidnap Neil and Nellie. You should know by now that I’m not that stupid. If I wanted to punish Neil and Nellie, I have plenty of other ways of doing so. I didn’t have to choose the dumbest method.“

Luna paused. “What are you trying to say?“

“I’m sure you know by now that Joshua is planning to divorce me, “ Alice said as she curled her lips into a smile, sounding somewhat disheartened. “I’ll make a deal with you right now. If you track Joshua down and ask him to let Yvonne go, then I won’t file for Neil and Nellie’s custody.“

Luna chuckled upon hearing Alice’s words. “Are you crazy, Alice?“
