Luna immediately grabbed hold of Neil’s ankle, exposing his injured sole of the feet. There were still a few broken pieces lodged in them.She sighed and clutched onto his ankle, while gently taking the broken pieces out of his feet with the tweezers.“How could you be so careless?” Neil was initially seated, but when Luna tugged at him, he was forced to lie back on the bed. He could not exert his strength. Luna clutched onto his ankle tightly. It was quite painful, so Neil just gave up struggling.However, even though his body stopped struggling, he was still defiant in his speech. He furrowed his brows and looked at Luna.“It’s none of your business whether I’m careless or not. I’ve already said to stop being a hypocrite and pretentious with me! I’m not Nigel or Nellie. This won’t work on me!”Luna furrowed her brows. “Even if I’m being a hypocrite, even if I’m being pretentious, I’m helping you to clean your wound. What do you have to lose? Why are you resisting it?”When sh
“If you have the confidence that Nellie and Nigel won’t get hurt if they tag along, of course, I’m fine with it.” Luna smiled.She gently ruffled Neil’s head. Her tone was gentle. “You’re willing to get close to them, I’m quite happy about it, actually.”Luna sighed and threw the tissue papers and cotton buds used to clean Neil’s wound into the bin. Then, she kept the first aid kit before turning and leaving.Neil lay in bed looking at Luna leaving. He pursed his lips tightly. If Nigel and Nellie were to follow along the next day, he would definitely protect them with all his life.This was Joshua, Luna, Nigel, and Nellie placing their trust in him. One could never be a person without credibility and limits.However…Neil closed his eyes. He could not imagine if the truth was like what his mother had said, none of the children belonged to Luna.When the children leave her, she would feel extremely terrible, right?…The next morning.During breakfast, Neil once again suggeste
The car drove for a very long time. In the back seat, Nellie shifted from bored to death from her initial excitement.She pressed her head onto the window and looked at the scenery out of the window. A huge question popped up in her head.Nellie turned to look at Neil. “Didn’t you say we were going to the hotel?”Why was the car heading to a more secluded place, it was even reaching the outskirts of Banyan City? Neil looked at the address on his phone. He pursed his lips. “We’ll be there soon.”The address that Aura gave was a very secluded place. Neil had also once suspected the address, but Aura said that the DNA Diagnostic Center was huge, they had to be built in places like the outskirts. After all, it took up a huge space and the city was not cheap.Neil was convinced and no longer had any doubts about the address.However, the car headed further into barren land. Where was the huge DNA Diagnostic Center? Nellie looked at Neil a little anxiously. “Jake, did you take us t
“I’m telling you to stop the car!” Neil yelled at the driver manically.However, the driver seemed to not have heard him. Not only did he not stop the car, but he also increased the speed.Neil bit his lips and slammed on the car door. He glared at the driver. “You are my driver! Why are you not listening to me!”The driver laughed, “Do you think I’m Theo Allen, that I would listen to whatever you said? Young Master, don’t think too highly of yourself. We’re Lady Aura’s men. We only listen to her!”Then, he slammed the gas. Soon, the car arrived right at the entrance of the abandoned factory.Nellie’s eyes widened. She looked at the car outside in shock. In the end, she turned around and looked at Neil.“Nigel…Jake, you lied to us!”Did he not say that they were going to the hotel where Aura was to gather her DNA samples? Why were they there at a deserted place? There was nothing around except the abandoned factory in front of them. How could Aura possibly be staying there?F
Neil had barely finished speaking when Aura slapped him violently on the face.“What? You’ve only been with Joshua for a day and you’ve already been led astray by them? Who the hell do you think you are? Why should I tell you my plans? You only have to remember that I am your mother! You will do what I tell you to do! Stop asking so many stupid questions!”Then, Aura turned around and headed into the abandoned factory without looking back.“Get yourself in here!”Neil stood in the same spot clutching his red and swollen face. He looked at Aura unconcerned for him. The scene where Luna was cleaning his wounds and slapping his butt inexplicably arose in his mind.If…If only she was his mother. How great would that be?Nigel and Nellie’s signal had been cut off. Luna, who had been following the signal in the car, looked at the spot where the red dots vanished on the screen rather anxiously. “Why was the signal suddenly cut off?”Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen.
The nerve on Luna’s forehead throbbed fiercely! She turned to look at Joshua. “What do you mean by that?”Joshua calmly looked out of the car window. His voice was low but it had no whatsoever emotions. “The fact that you could be threatened by Aura and be let by the nose, besides Neil, the other reason was Theo. “Neil is still alright. He is Aura’s bargaining chip to be used against me, so it’s easy for us to see Neil and get him to stay by my side.“But Theo is different. Besides you meeting him by the beach on that day, Theo has never shown his face once.“Theo is Aura’s hidden ace card. Not only could she use him to threaten you, but she could also even threaten Neil when needed.”Then, Joshua turned to look at Luna. “Aura does not have many places in Banyan City. The abandoned factory here today is the only one. According to my understanding of her, if she were to kidnap Nigel and Nellie, she would most likely tie them up and lock them up in the same place as Theo.”Lun
At that thought, Luna took a deep breath and looked at Joshua’s angular face.“Since you agreed to let Nigel and Nellie get kidnapped by Aura, you have to guarantee that they are safe. If not…”Luna glared at him. “I will hate you for the rest of my life.”Joshua smiled. “If something were to happen to them today, I would hate myself for the rest of my life too.”“Sir.” Seeing how their conversation was finally at an end, Lucas said in a suppressed tone, “We have reached near the sewer hole.”Joshua and Lune turned to look at the same time. In front of them was indeed a huge sewer hole. Although it was huge, it could not fit an adult walking straight up.A few bodyguards had got out of the car and entered the sewer with a bent body.Joshua was silent for a while. He unbuckled his seat belt while instructing Luna.“You wait for us here. I have the same communication device as Nigel, but our communication device can’t connect directly. We need you to stay outside to keep watch. Y
The air in the underground warehouse was foul. There was dust everywhere and it smelt like mold.Because there was no source of light, it was dark everywhere.Using his exceptional night vision, Neil held onto Nellie’s hand and quickly headed for the light. Behind him, Nigel was holding onto Nellie’s other hand, following closely.Behind them were the sounds of footsteps and people searching for them with a torchlight.“Quick, over here! We have to find them quickly! How dare they hurt Lady Aura and escape with the other two brats! Jake Landry, you’re dead meat!”“Lady Aura is your family. Why would you betray her for the two kids that you barely know?”“Do you know what is the consequence of betraying Lady Aura?”“Jake Landry, I know you can hear us! Quickly bring both of them back! She might still let you live!”…Hearing the commotions behind her, Nellie’s heart was about to pop out! She and Nigel were kidnapped by Aura’s men a moment ago. After kidnapping them, Aura got he
