When Luna lifted her head and took in the scene before her, she was so shocked that she almost passed out.
Nigel was tied to a giant rock at the edge of the cliff, his feet bare and his entire body hovering over a seemingly endless drop.
Meanwhile, Fiona leaned gracefully against the rock, her eyebrows raised slightly, a taunting smile playing on her lips.
She was holding a sharp knife in her hand, the light glinting off the blade in the rain.
With that, she turned and counted the number of ropes holding Nigel onto the rock. “Eight ropes. I’ve already cut one off, so there’s only seven left.“
Fiona turned and smiled at Joshua. “Look, Joshua; look how nice I’m treating your son. I prepared eight pieces of rope so that you could see him one last time. One rope for each hour, so eight hours in total. Eight hours is more than enough for you to bid him farewell! “
Luna was so unnerved by the scene before her, as well as how despicable Fiona both looked and sounded, that she almost lost her balance.
She could not fathom how malicious this woman was!
Fiona was insane!
Joshua pulled Luna into his arms and lifted his head to stare at Fiona coldly. “What are you trying to do? “
“Nothing much, just taking his life.“ Fiona curled her lips into a smirk and gazed at Joshua impassively. “You should know better than anyone why I’m taking Nigel’s life, right?“
Joshua’s arm, which was still wrapped around Luna, tightened upon hearing this, and his knuckles turned white.
