The black Maserati stopped at the entrance of the mental asylum once more.Luna got down from the car manically and ran straight into the mental asylum! She had a bad feeling. The elevator from the top floor did not come down. Luna furrowed her brows and immediately took the stairs.Aura’s room was on the eighth floor. She ran all the way up. She held onto the wall, gasping for air while finding the person in charge.She barely took a few steps when the elevator door opened. A tall man elegantly walked out from the elevator.He looked at her calmly. “You’re going the wrong way.”Then, he turned and walked in the opposite direction.Luna was so exhausted she was gasping for air. She rolled her eyes and immediately caught up after him.Joshua led Luna to the office of the doctor in charge of Aura.Upon seeing Joshua and Luna, the doctor frowned. “Why are you back?”“Did an adorable girl visit Aura Gibson?”The doctor nodded. “Yes.”“She said she was from Mr. Lynch’s company.
Luna took a deep breath and opened the door with the key.It was quiet in the room. The afternoon sun shone through the small window on the ceiling, forming a beam of light.A woman in a hospital gown with messy hair was sitting at the corner with her head buried between her legs. She was so quiet it was as if she did not exist.Luna closed her eyes in despair.That person was not Aura. Aura would not be so quiet and obedient.After a while, she sighed and said, “Bonnie.”The woman by the bed jolted a little, then she slowly lifted her head.Under the messy hair was Bonnie’s clean face.This was the first time that she saw Bonnie without her glasses. She did not expect that it would be under such circumstances.“It really is you.” Bonnie looked at Luna and smiled bitterly yet helplessly. “I thought I could get through today.”She did not expect that she would be exposed so quickly in less than an hour.Seeing Bonnie’s calm look, Luna felt a huge hammer smashing her heart.
Luna smiled bitterly.“You believe her?”“Not really, but…”Bonnie lowered her head. “She took my phone and dialed my brother’s current phone number. I heard it. It was his voice.“Aura said that when my brother was sending a shipment for her, he crashed into someone. Because he was afraid of being punished by the law, he took some money and ran. He is still living comfortably overseas, but he is afraid that someone might trick him into coming back and pay for his crimes, so other than Aura, he would not listen to anyone.”Bonnie said. Her tears fell.She sobbed, “I really missed my brother. I’m an investigative reporter. All these years, I have tried all ways to find out news about him, because I really couldn’t find him, so I targeted Aura. I started writing bad publicity about Aura. Now that I have heard my brother’s voice and I was sure he was alive…”“So you were willing to sacrifice your freedom in exchange for Aura’s?”Luna looked at Bonnie crying. She sneered, “Idiot.”
Joshua looked at her with a cold gaze. “Obsessive and paranoid.”He smiled ironically. “Were you describing her or me?”Luna paused for a while before realizing that her words to Bonnie might have been directed toward Joshua too.Luna shrugged. She smiled at him gently. “Mr. Lynch, you’re overthinking this. How could I be describing you in that way? I was still hoping you would help me figure out where Aura went.”Joshua furrowed his brows at her words. He sighed, “We couldn’t find her. After she came out from the mental asylum, she hailed a cab.”Lucas, who was standing behind Joshua, sighed. He recounted what he said to Joshua to Luna once more.“She got down in the suburbs where there was no surveillance. Later on, whether it be traffic or public transport surveillance, we could no longer find her.”Lucas sighed, “She should still be in Banyan City, as for where she is, we don’t know.”“I blame myself for this.” Luna closed her eyes. “I was too careless.”Then, she bowed at
At that moment only then did Luna recall that she sent Natasha a message when she came out of the mental asylum.They have agreed to meet at Luna’s old place. She wanted to tell Natasha all the atrocities that Aura has committed.However, Luna was so caught up with the Bonnie incident that she almost forgot about it.She took a deep breath. Luna looked at the dark skies. “I’ll come over now.”Then, she hung up the phone. She got down and changed her clothes.“Mommy, are you really going?”Nigel’s voice came from the necklace. “Do you think that Aura would look for Grandma? Grandma trusts Aura so much. Even when Aura was locked up, she looked for Grandma for help.”Luna was changing halfway when she paused suddenly.If Natasha and Aura joined forces and tricked her there…However, what if Aura did not find Natasha?Natasha did not trust Luna that much. Luna managed to get that recording with such difficulty. She wanted to expose Aura’s true colors to Natasha. She did not want
“I took a guess.”Luna leaned back in the backseat, looking at the night scenery outside of the window.Bonnie’s defiant eyes appeared in her mind inexplicably.“My brother loves me! He loves me the most in his entire life! If he did not love me, why would he sacrifice so much for me, giving me everything?”Luna sneered.Sure enough. Relationships were the most useless things.At that moment, Bonnie was like Luna Gibson back then, so silly it was heartbreaking.Soon, the van arrived. Zach and Yuri accompanied Luna upstairs. Once she reached upstairs, Luna opened the main door of her rented apartment.The lights were not switched on inside. Under the moonlight, Luna noticed a skinny and feeble figure sitting on the sofa.Luna furrowed her brows and switched on the lights.Natasha curled up on the sofa, sleeping soundly.When the light was turned on, she furrowed her brows and woke up from her dreams.When she woke up, she looked at Luna and smiled distantly. “Ms. Luna, you
Natasha looked at Luna in a daze.After a while, she wiped her tears away and nodded. “Yes. If I was her, I would do the same thing too…”A mother should know and trust her daughter the best, yet…Seeing how badly Natasha was sobbing, even if Luna was cruel, she could only sigh.She passed a tissue to Natasha. “Wipe your tears.”Inside, mother and daughter were confessing their heartfelt feelings to each other. Outside, Zach and Yuri were looking at each other.“I’m a little sleepy.” Yuri yawned. Zach rolled his eyes at him. He wanted to say something when he saw a person flash by at the staircase.He furrowed his brows alertly. “Who is there?”After a while, a woman in a black trench coat and black-framed glasses walked up. She was hidden in the dark, so no one could see her face clearly.“Hello.” She chuckled lightly and walked over. She shook her phone which had been turned off. “I’m here to visit someone, but my phone died. Could you lend me your phone? Let me make a phone
After a few slaps, Neil’s face was swollen and puffed up.Only then did Aura feel a little relieved of her anger.She stood up and looked at Neil condescendingly. “Aren’t you smart? Didn’t you guess what I was trying to do? Why did you still blindly come over?”Neil looked at her. “If I did not come, you will try to lay your hands on Nellie or my Mommy. They are women, I am a man.”He should be the one to bear the suffering.His words made Aura sneered, “How courageous, but what use is there even if you’re smart? You’re still here getting a beating from me.”Neil winked at her. “Take a guess as to why I would be receiving a beating from you here?”Aura furrowed her brows but said nothing.Neil smiled a little. “Look downstairs.”Aura pursed her lips. She walked over to the window, pried the curtains apart, and glanced down below.“You called the cops?”“If I’m not wrong, Nellie was the one who called the cops.”Neil smiled flatly. He crossed his arms around his chest. Altho
