The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 147 Diana's pov Avia looked like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, freezing her in place.

“NO...” Her lips trembled slightly, panic rising in her eyes. “This isn’t chicken blood, it's-" “Whether it is or isn’t, a simple check will reveal the truth,” Moss sneered, mocking her. “Your genes surely can’t be the sas a chicken’s, can they?” In an instant, Avia’s face went as white as paper.

Yet even though the truth seemed obvious, she remained unrepentant.

Maintaining her composure, she challenged, “Why should | to take my handkerchief to frme? You're with Diana, y lleve you? Who's to say you're not trying blood, you'll twist it into chicken blood.” definitely help her. Even if this is my Avia clutched Nathan's arm tightly, attempting to clear her name. “Nathan, you mustn't believe them, | really didn't" “Enough!” Nathan's voice, laced with coldness, cut her off.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “I'm not a fool, | can tell who's lying.” Avia recoiled, her tear-filled eyes blinking in confusion.

“Nathan, | really didn’t...” “Tell the truth!” Nathan didn’t give her a chance to continue her sophistry, his expression chilling. “You know, | detest liars the most.” Avia’s forced composure finally shattered in this moment.

Trembling, she sobbed, “I'm sorry, Nathan, | didn’t mean to deceive you. But | had my reasons for doing so, | just... I just hate Diana so much, what she did to me, | can’t forgive...

H At the mention of what Diana did, Nathan's gaze softened slightly as he looked at Avia.

Summoning a maid who was already trembling with fear, he instructed, “Take Avia back to her room.” “Yes, Alpha.” Approaching Avia’s side, the maid said, “Luna, let's go back.” Avia glanced back at Nathan with reluctance. She wanted to say something more, but under Nathan's penetrating gaze, she dared not linger any longer and could only leave in distress.

The curtain fell on the .

| jumped off the bed, rolled my neck, and shrugged my shoulders.

Approaching Nathan, | said casually, “It’s Avia who refused the blood transfusion, notruining our deal. | won't return those medical supplies to you.!! “I know,” Nathan's voice was hoarse, his expression unexpectedly weary. “Since the supplies were given to you, | never intended for you to return them.” I nodded, not saying anything, and turned to leave.

However, just as | turned, Nathan grabbed my wrist.

Then, with brute force, he pulledforcibly in front of him.

Drawing closer, Nathan's expression suddenly turned fierce.

He asked, “So, you've known all along that Avia was faking her illness?” “Before today, you hadn't even met Avia, so how did you know she was faking it?” Thadn’t expected Nathan to have the presence of mind to consider this amidst his anger.

Not understanding what he was aiming for, | swallowed nervously and said, “I didn’t know she was faking it. She exposed herself out of fear.” “Do you takefor a fool?” Nathan approachedfurther, a dangerous aura surrounding me.

“Your methods can only intimidate naive girls like Avia. Do you think I'll believe there’s no collusion between you and him-" Nathan glared fiercely at Moss, with inexplicable anger in his eyes,” plotting between you? no “Naive?” | scoffed, “So, even if Avia plotted something so malicious, you still think she’s naive? Is she really naive, or are you just foolish?” A hint of panic flickered in Nathan's eyes due to guilt.

However, being an Alpha accustomed to a high-ranking lifestyle, he had long cultivated a self-centered personality.

Therefore, he blatantly evaded my question, his tone dangerously stating, “I'm the one asking now. Answer me, how did you know Avia was feigning illness?” I understood Nathan's character.

If I couldn’t provide him with a reasonable explanation today, he wouldn't easily let Moss andleave.

Suppressing my frustration, | sighed and took a few seconds to think before saying, “Healer told“Healer?” Nathan furrowed his brow slightly.

“Yes. She informedyesterday that she had just examined Avia and found her illness to be fabricated.” ere is this Healer now? Whuune Mare “Where is this Healer now? Why was Moss drawing blood today, not her?” Nathan pressed.

At that moment, | finally understood what Nathan truly wanted to know. He was suspicious of me, suspecting that my relationship with Healer wasn’t as straightforward as he believed, perhaps even... He suspected | was Healer.

| smiled without changing my expression, “Just drawing blood is such a trivial matter; there's no need to bother Healer, right? Aren’t you cooperating with William Don’t you know Healer is very busy? Nathan evidently wasn’t entirely convinced, but | didn’t care Shaking him off forcefully, | rubbed my wrist, which he had gripped painfully, and said coldly, “Don’t fucking touchagain in the future, it disgusts me.” With that, ignoring, Nathan's terrifyingly grim expression, | decisively grabbed Moss’s hand and left the blood drawing room.

“Are you intentionally usingto anger Alpha Nathan?” Moss asked after we had walked a distance away from the blood-drawing room.

“Huh?” | didn’t understand his implication, stopping in my tracks and turning to look at him. “What are you talking about?” Moss lifted the wrist | had held tightly.

“You just told Nathan that his touch made you feel disgusted, then immediately grabbed my hand. Aren't you usingto provoke him?” It was as if | had been shocked, quickly releasing Moss and stepping back two paces.

“You've misunderstood. | just wanted to leave quickly and happened to grab you... | mean, | definitely didn’t use you.

Moss smiled faintly, “You don’t need to be so nervous. Even if you used me, it wouldn't bother me.” 1 blinked, once again lost in confusion. Meanwhile, Moss had already changed the subject.

“Now that we've obtained the medical equipment, shouldn't we move on to the next step?” Talking about this matter helpedclear my scattered thoughts.

“Of course,” | said seriously, “the next step depends on Fisher. | think it’s tto meet him with my real identity.”
