Bab 285: Reunion (1)

Joan and Joshua's worries built without end as Tasha still showed no signs of waking up. Joshua was on the verge of asking Lucy and the other cats, maybe even Toz, for help since Red Hook still didn't want Stitches to check up on him.

Brunswick confirmed that Red Hook was telling the truth, but he was a lot weaker than her, and he couldn't tell if she had been lied to by whoever was in charge of taking care of Tasha's health.

Joshua and Lucy had suggested asking Toz to step in to Joan a couple of times since Joshua didn't want to do anything like that without his mother's approval. However, Joan rejected that idea each time. She chose to trust in Red Hook. And asking Toz for help, while it might not put Toz in much trouble, could interfere with Tasha's relationship with the Red Hook Pirate Crew.

It could also interfere with the relatively harmonious atmosphere of Pirate Haven if Toz and the Red Hook Pirate Crew began fighting.
