"Didn't you put Mandy and me in the same place just so that I would think that Joshua was there to save her instead of me?" Hazel asked with a deep tone. "How stupid do you think I am?"
"So, you didn't say that before, so I wouldn't get upset?" Simon was lost in thought.
"Of course!" she said without hesitation.
He smiled instead of getting angry. "Pumpkin, you look pretty cute when you fool yourself. All right, you can go home with him as long as you remember to come to me. If you regret it in the future, my door will always be open for you."
"That will never happen, so you can give up on it now," she said simply.
After that, she ran over to Joshua as Simon put the gun away.
Joshua stretched his arms out and quickly held her in his arms before asking in a low voice, "Hazel, are you okay?"
She nodded her head while Joshua looked her up and down. When he saw that she was really unhurt, he stepped out in front of her.
