Chapter 2289
It tasted just like the cauliflower herb soup June always cooked for him to drink!
The familiar taste brought some sense back to Christopher. He furrowed his brows and finished the soup. Finally, he
put down the container reluctantly when it was finally empty.” Is this all you got?”
“We got more here.” As Christopher’s emotion was finally less cynical, Joshua took a deep breath and added,
“There are some questions I’d like to ask you. If you want more soup, you need to answer them.”
“Deal,” agreed Christopher as he pursed his lips. He then took a look at Luna, who looked visibly pale, cautiously. He
tried to think of the right words to apologize to Luna, albeit he could not form any words to speak.

reading Christopher’s mind based on his expression.
Luna, finally realizing why Christopher had been staring at her, sighed. “I’m not a narrow -minded person. I know
you didn’t mean it.”
The things that Christopher said were painfully spiteful, and his words were so demeaning that Luna, at one point,
started to believe that it was the truth. Her heart started to wonder if she was the root cause of all the unlucky
happenings to all of the people around her.
“Christopher.”
Luna got pulled out of her thoughts when Joshua spoke. She looked at Joshua with the same expression Christopher
had, their eyes riddled with questions.
Joshua did not discuss anything with Luna before they arrived, and she did not even know why Joshua was so keen
on finding answers. After all, Christopher had just managed to regain a percentage of his sanity, and no one could
verify if he would tell only the truth.
Joshua did not realize the lack of confidence Luna had in Christopher
“Christopher , Rosalyn said that before Jim called you, she had contacted you,” began Joshua solemnly. “She told
you to stay put in Lincoln City to study and develop the medicine to help Jim restore his memory and not to come
back to Merchant City. Why did you come to Merchant City this morning suddenly?”
This was the point that Joshua had been querying about. Even when Rosalyn was not Christopher’s mother, she had
been his mentor and a person whom Christopher had much respect for. There was hardly a time when Christoper
would disobey Rosalyn’s instructions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRosalyn had also stated it herself that Christopher had never disobeyed her since he had been with her for more
than 20 years. This was the first time.
Joshua thus believed that something must have happened to change Christopher’s mind, the reason that made
Christopher leave Lincoln City without permission and disregard Rosalyn’s words.
If Christopher did not return to Merchant City, the catastrophe that happened in the church would not have
happened. Joshua had a hunch that someone intentionally wanted Christopher to return to Merchant City, so
Christopher would become insane and hurt Jim and Bonnie.
Thus, Joshua felt the need to get to the bottom of it, even when Christopher had not fully returned to his normal
self.
Christopher lifted his head and gazed at Joshua. His voice was hoarse as he answered, “If I tell you the real reason,
will you believe in me?”
“Why won’t I believe you? I’ll believe it as long as it is the truth,” Joshua answered. “It was Bonnie who asked me to
return,” said Christopher
