You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 21

Sure enough, Justin was missing.

Joyce searched him over and over again, and already checked evrey place in the hospital, asked every people as much as possible.

Exhausted, she fell to the ground.

The dark clouds covered the moon and the dim streetlights made her shadow extra long.

Justin can't be found anywhere. It's like he's vanished in this world.

The surgery was in tomorrow and Justin was still missing.

She felt frustrated.

Her efforts and the suffering she'd endured for a long time all went down in the drain.

Luther looked at Joyce who was sitting on the floor in front of him.

She huddled and buried her head deep into her knees. Her hair scattered down her slightly trembling shoulders. Was she crying?

Luther just felt uncomfortable, and Justin had been missing for almost two years.

What happened with Justin? How can she be so sad?

Joyce looked up and took a deep breath. Sitting there, it seemed that she couldn't think at all.

She did not cry.

There are no tears, because she cannot cry. Her heart is like being stubbed by a knife, feeling infinite emptiness and confusion.

Luther had never seen her like this before.

With bleak, sluggish feeling, she looks more melancholy at the moment, but with extreme attraction

He can't help but want to love her.

He took a deep breath and resisted his urge to pick her up.

"Is it necessary to pretend to be sad? If your "funder" is gone, you can still find the next one."

He wanted to comfort her, but his words hurt.
