“Joshua! “
Luna could not help but scream out! How did this happen? She gritted her teeth and applied pressure to his wound to stop the bleeding with trembling hands while fishing her phone out to dial the emergency number.
“Quick! Someone has been injured on the beach! Someone’s hurt! “
Joshua’s bleeding made her eyes feel wet and hot. She was so agitated she could not even speak clearly.
The operator on the other end of the line paused for a while.
“The beach? A man already called for an emergency ten minutes ago. Our ambulance is almost reaching. Please hold on.“
Luna was stunned. lo minutes ago…
Joshua was probably only hurt less than one minute ago!
Luna could not think that far. She immediately hung up the call and pressed on Joshua’s wound with both hands hard. “Joshua, you have to hold on! “
Perhaps Joshua heard Luna’s voice. Joshua, whose eyes had been shut feebly, slowly opened his eyes.
Through his blurry view, he saw Luna’s anxious- looking petite face. He slowly opened his mouth and said something to her.
His voice was too weak, the sounds of the wind and waves by the beach overpowered him. Luna could not hear what he said.
She bit her lips and immediately placed her ears closer toward him. This time, she finally heard him clearly.
He said, “H—Ha…p—py B—Birthday.“
Those two simple words made her tears fall uncontrollably once again.
She wiped away her tears. Her face was stained with his blood. “Read the room! Why are you still wishing me a happy birthday at such a time? If it wasn’t for me, if it wasn’t for me…“
