CHAPTER 2978

Luna was dumbstruck when she saw the text Gwen sent. Dazedly, she looked back at Joshua.

"Did...you send someone to protect Gwen?" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Joshua, playing with his phone at the moment, paused and nodded. ‘'Yes."

It only triggered more questions in Luna's mind. "When did you arrange that?"

After she was released, she did ask Bonnie about Gwen. At that time, Bonnie said Gwen told no one

when she left, and no one knew where she was headed to.

Why would Joshua arrange for people to protect Gwen? If he did that, why did he not mention it when

she talked about Gwen with him?

"I did it after you went to jail." Joshua coughed and looked in another direction to avoid looking into

Luna's eyes. "I was afraid someone is going to hurt your friends after what happened to Anne. Bonnie

has Jim with her, so I wasn't worried about her. Gwen, on the other hand, has no one, so I asked a

friend to protect her.*

Luna's eyebrows furrowed. "Your friend?"

When did Joshua have a friend who worked as a bodyguard?

After a moment of silence, Joshua nodded. "Yes. I have a friend who used to work as a bodyguard.

He's very skilled at fighting."

He turned and looked into Luna’s eyes solemnly. "I told my friend to stay hidden while he watches over

Gwen, careful not to alert her as he did.

However, since Gwen has found out about it... Tell Gwen to stay away from him, and let my friend do

his job by protecting her from a distance.*

Luna frowned in confusion. "Why?*

She understood it was for Gwen's well-being to have the man remain in the dark if Gwen had not

discovered him. Why, however, was it necessary to request Gwen to stay away from the man if Gwen

had noticed him?

"He's a peculiar man. His face was ruined in a certain incident, and it's not a sight one will easily forget.

He's afraid that this will scare Gwen,' Joshua explained, sighing and looking at Luna. "It's the type of

face that'll give you nightmares for many nights."

Luna pursed her lips. 'Fine, I understand."

She picked up her phone and sent a text to Gwen about what Joshua told her. Not forgetting to remind

Gwen, [Don't get close to him; just let him watch over you from a distance.]

Gwen's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the text Luna sent. After that, she walked to the window

and looked at the man who was still standing on the street opposite her.

That made sense. That explained why he dressed up in all black, complete with a black cap and black

mask. Heck, he covered himself up entirely!

It turned out...that his face was disfigured.

Gwen was not a person who heavily judged a person by his appearance nor did she think there was

anything scary looking at a man with a disfigured face.

However...

If he truly covered himself up entirely, maybe he did not want people to look at his face.

If that were the case, Gwen would never go near him or try to learn how he looked, no matter how

curious she was. She had to respect his wishes, especially when he had kept her safe for so long.

She sighed and went back to bed, finally dozing off after chatting with Luna and Bonnie for a bit.

The next morning, she received a call from Winson when she woke up.

He sounded rather excited on the phone as he said, "Gwen, I'm at an art exhibition. Do you want to

come? I saw a painting drawn by Mister Theo Allen here, and I think you're in his painting!"

Gwen frowned. "Which art exhibition?"

She was aware Theo had drawn a painting of Luna when Luna was studying in high school, but when

did Theo paint her?
