Chapter: 513
“Josh, it’s time for you to take your meds.” Tina brought some medicine over to Joshua’s bedside.
“I can’t be bothered to take them right now.” Joshua frowned in displeasure.
“Jade hasn’t returned since morning, and I can’t reach her phone. Do you think something happened to her?”
“Stop overthinking. Josh. She’s from the Grant family. What could happen?” Tina shook her head.
“T–then, do you think she’s disgusted that I’m crippled and wants to end it with me?” Joshua asked again.
Ever since his core was destroyed, he lost his pride, turning anxious and sensitive instead.
“Of course not!” Tina refuted him straight away.
“I can tell that she really likes you. I bet she’s running all over the place for you. Didn’t she promise to avenge you before she left this morning? So, stop worrying.”
“I must be thinking too much.” Joshua sighed. As the fallen Chosen One, something inside him had changed tremendously.
“Josh, rest well, and don’t overthink this. Dad went to Millsburg to ask for medicine from Dr. Watkins. I’m sure all your injuries will be gone in no time with the panacea.” Tina reassured him.
“You’re right. After I recover, I’ll rise to the top once more!” Joshua swore through gritted teeth.
“I’ll make sure Rhys suffers like never before!”
Just then, the lights went out, plunging the room into darkness.
“What’s happening?” Joshua demanded anxiously.
“Calm down, Josh. The breaker must have tripped. Tina went over to the door and shouted, “Somebody go check the breaker.”
Silence was all she got in response, the entire villa terrifyingly silent.
“Hey! Are you guys deal?” Tina yelled again, but no one responded.
Joshua had a bad feeling something was going to happen.
“Something’s wrong! Let’s get out of here!”
He sprung up and prepared to run when a tall figure walked into his room without a sound.
“Who the hell are you?” he shouted.
“The person who’s going to kill you.” The figure slowly lifted its head, and from the moonlight shining through the window, Joshua finally had a clear look at the other person’s face.
“It’s you? W–w–weren’t you arrested? When did you get out?”
Joshua began to back up in terror. Just this morning, he’d received Tina’s message that the military had captured Custin. How did he get free in less than a day?
“Any last words?” Dustin asked coldly.
