Nigel narrowed his eyes. Even though he was young, he still read plenty of news about accidents caused by brake malfunctions, so he knew that even though this car was not in much use, the butler at Lynch Mansion would not have neglected its maintenance.Therefore, someone must have deliberately slashed the brake cables, causing the brakes to malfunction.Someone was attempting to kill both him and Nellie!As soon as he thought of this, Nigel exhaled and forced himself to calm down.After a moment, he looked at the driver through the rearview mirror and said in a steady voice, “Mr. Driver, you’re one of the best drivers at Lynch Mansion. I believe that you’ll be able to calm down and find a solution in this situation.”The driver, who was previously so nervous by the fact that he was carrying the two young grandchildren of the Lynch family, finally calmed down upon hearing Nigel’s words.However, he still had no way of stopping the car despite trying everything he could think of.
The driver froze in shock upon hearing Nigel’s words. The factory manager, too, was rendered speechless by him. Was he…truly a six-year-old boy?Nigel frowned when he noticed how puzzled the driver was, staring at him. “What’s wrong?”He glanced at the cut cables and explained, “The wires were cut so haphazardly. It’s clear that whoever did this didn’t have much experience, so they failed to cut through them entirely the first try. Therefore, they had to cut it a second time.“Someone as inexperienced as this wouldn’t have thought to wipe their fingerprints off.” With that, he turned to glance at the driver. “Don’t you know how to extract fingerprints, Mr. Driver? Why don’t I do it myself?”The driver froze for a long while, then hastily let out an awkward cough. “I—I know how!”He quickly crouched down and did as Nigel told while thinking to himself, ‘Young Master Nigel is undoubtedly Joshua Lynch’s son… He’s only six, yet he’s far more level-headed and detail-oriented than m
“Don’t worry, Joshua. They’ll be fine…”As soon as the elevator doors slid open, Aura’s gentle voice floated out from inside. Bonnie immediately furrowed her brows and lifted her head.What rotten luck. The two people standing inside the elevator were none other than Aura and Joshua!Their hands were intertwined, looking as happy as a newly married couple.Aura could feel Bonnie’s furious gaze on her, so she frowned and lifted her head to glance in the direction of the elevator doors.The sight before her rendered her speechless.Even though Nigel and Nellie looked unkempt…they were perfectly fine, without a single scratch on them apart from Nigel’s nosebleed and Nellie’s tear stains!Aura’s heart leaped into her throat, and her expression darkened.How could this be? She had instructed Michael to cut the brake cables in the backup car. At that time, after Michael did as she asked, he even sent her a photo of it triumphantly, which was why Aura was certain that this backup
As soon as he finished his sentence, the three adults fell into silence. Bonnie crossed her arms in front of her chest confidently, waiting to see what would happen next.Joshua stared at Nigel with a frown, waiting to hear what he had to say.As for Aura…Her face was as pale as the wall behind her. She glared at Nigel in malice, worried that he would say something he should not have.Nellie could not help but curl her lips into a smile when she saw Aura’s reaction.She smoothed down her hair and clothes, pattering over to Aura and stared at her with watery, innocent eyes. “Why are you sweating, Aunty Aura? Are you feeling hot?“It’s already autumn, though. Are you sick? You look very pale. Do you want me to bring you for a checkup?”Aura’s expression darkened when she heard this. She shot Nellie a murderous glare but did not reply.Bonnie noticed the hostile expression in Aura’s eyes and immediately picked Nellie up, afraid that Aura would hurt her. “Don’t be troublesome, N
Aura clung onto Joshua’s arm, signaling for him to leave.Bonnie furrowed her brows at this sight and was about to say something when Nigel piped up, “Alright then. Goodbye, Daddy, Aunty Aura. Nellie, Aunty Bonnie, and I are going to visit Mommy now. I can’t stop worrying about Mommy knowing how sick she is!”With that, he let out a sigh and grabbed Nellie’s hand. “Don’t cry. You’ve been crying the entire journey.”Joshua, who had been just about to leave, stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He turned around to look at Nigel and Nellie. “Aren’t you here to visit Granny?”Nigel blinked innocently and replied, “Yes, we are, but we’re mainly here to visit Mommy.”He cocked his head to one side and continued with an innocent expression, “Daddy, weren’t you the one who asked Aunty Aura to text me saying we should come over to visit Mommy? Why are you so shocked?”Aura’s entire body stiffened when she heard this. Joshua furrowed his brows once more, and he turned to glance at A
“No, no, no!” Aura immediately tried to deny everything. She was so agitated that tears started streaming down her face. “How can you suspect me, Joshua? I’m really…”She bit down on her lip nervously. Her face was already red from the crying, and it made her look exceptionally pitiful. “I was just afraid that the children wouldn’t be able to see Luna for the last time…”She lowered her head and continued in a sobbing voice, “If I had known there was only one car—one that had broken brake cables—left at Lynch Mansion, I wouldn’t have asked them to come in the first place!”She turned and shot Nigel and Nellie an aggrieved look as she said, “It’s all Aunty Aura’s fault. Can you forgive me?”Nigel narrowed his eyes and turned to glance at Joshua. He knew that Joshua had no intention of punishing Aura for this. Even though he felt a little displeased by this, he still knew that there were reasons as to why adults choose to do certain things.Therefore, he stopped Nellie, who was ju
“After that, you started to go crazy because you missed your child too much, so Jason had no choice but to contact me. We had to go through many connections before we could finally find some medicine to wipe your memory and let you forget the past.“If your child is still alive now, he’d be the same age as Nigel and Nellie now, but… Tsk, tsk. Too bad you won’t be able to see him at all.”Aura turned around and grabbed hold of Joshua’s arm. “Since you’re so free, why don’t you mind your own business instead of sticking your nose into everyone else’s?”With that, Aura turned and strode away with Joshua.Bonnie stood in the same spot, frozen in shock. Then, after a moment, she reached out a hand to knock on her head.Aura was right…Six years ago, before Jason left Banyan City, Bonnie had indeed lost about a year’s memory. However, Jason had told her this was due to a fever, which led to a concussion and subsequent memory loss, but it seemed that...“Aunty Bonnie.” All of a sudden,
Bonnie almost dropped her phone when she heard this.Neil was missing?Bonnie bit down on her lip and forced herself to calm down. “When was this, and how did this happen?”Theo let out an exhale and explained, “Neil has been in the hospital with me. His broken leg still hasn’t recovered yet, so Luna got someone to make him a special wheelchair so he can move around freely.“Today, the wheelchair finally arrived at the hospital, so he tried to get in touch with Luna to tell her the good news, but he couldn’t get through to her at all.“After that, Luna’s phone was picked up by a nurse, and the nurse told him that Luna’s fallen ill, that she’s in a grave condition now…“I wanted to visit her today with Neil, but I left for a short while to buy him lunch and returned, he was nowhere to be found!“Can you help me find him? I don’t feel like contacting Joshua about this…”Bonnie gripped her phone tightly and snickered. “Even if you contact him now, I don’t think he’ll have the time
