Later on, when she grew up, she understood that she could never take away her parent’s bias toward Aura.Thus, she learned from her parents to pamper and love Aura, so that they would be closer to each other.The few years that she was in a good relationship with Aura were also the years when she had the best relationship with her parents.At that time, she married a man that she loved, plus she also got the care of her parents.She thought that she was the happiest person on earth.In the end, she knew that the so-called happiness was short-lived.It was all because of Aura. Also, the man next to her.If he did not get sick of Aura, she might still be the one being pampered and loved.Soon, the car reached the hospital.Once the car stopped, Joshua immediately opened the car door and carried Neil down.He rushed into the hospital. “Doctor!”At that moment, it was early evening, the lights in the hospital were rather dim.The doctor on call immediately rushed out and led th
“Doctor, didn’t you say I have to take a drip?”Luna turned and glanced at the doctor. “Do you want to take it now?”The doctor frowned, then realized he might have misspoken, and left after leaving behind the words. “I’ll go prepare it now.”After the doctor left, Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at Neil who was still unconscious.Then, he turned his head and looked at his reflection in the glass windows.Somehow, they did… look alike.He studied his reflection in the mirror, a smile at the corners of his lips. “I wouldn’t have realized it if he didn’t say anything.”On the surface, Luna looked calm and collected, but deep down, she was panicking!Joshua was a very perceptive man; she was worried he would notice something.Previously, even though she successfully tricked him by using the excuse that she was Luna Gibson’s good friend, but the children…that would be hard to explain.Taking in a deep breath, she smiled, her eyes narrowing into thin crescent moons and glanced
But she was wrong.Neil’s room looked… richly decorated and luxurious too, almost the same as Nellie’s room.In the opulent and spacious room, Neil sat on his chair playing with a Rubik’s cube, looking cool wearing a mask and a hat.Seeing the two girls, one younger and the other older, enter the room, he smiled faintly, raising his eyes, and looked at his mother, “Did you get a good night’s sleep?”“Perfect.”Luna looked at Neil and her tears could not help but fall.He was always a prideful boy, he loved dressing up, and acting cool.But now, to successfully capture Aura, he purposely hurt himself like this.“Alright, don’t cry.” Neil laughed softly, “Men aren’t afraid of pain and getting hurt.”He raised his head and looked at Luna seriously. “But the police called this morning, they want you, as my guardian, to bring me along to the police station to make an official report.”He lowered his eyes to check the time, “It’s 9 a.m., if we leave now, we’ll be back in time for l
Hearing Luna mention Luna Gibson, Joseph frowned, lowering his voice, “If she still thinks of us as family, she would’ve come home a long time ago! Now, she’s playing all these games, acting so mysterious. She sent her daughter home, but as for herself, not even a piece of her hair has been seen.”Beside him, Natasha furrowed her brows too. “Ms. Luna, we’re discussing our youngest daughter with you, you don’t have to mention our eldest daughter, do you?”“Exactly.”Joseph hurriedly pulled the conversation back to the topic at hand. “Ms. Luna, we’re discussing Aura’s situation with you. Just name your price. As long as you properly comfort your son and prevent him from spouting nonsense, we can pay you however much you want. No matter what, Joshua is my son-in-law, money is not a problem.”Looking at the middle-aged couple in front of her, for a second, Luna did not want to admit they were her biological parents.“No matter how rich you are, I don’t want your money!”Neil frowned,
“Comparatively, you’re more tired than I am, aren’t you?”Her words made Aura pale slightly.But it lasted for a mere second.Then, she sighed and sneered, “It’s taken you six years to find out about all that?”Then, Aura shrugged. “I admit, I lost to you and that little devil, but that doesn’t mean you’ve won…”She leaned down, lay on the table, raised her head, and stared at Luna evilly. “Luna, you were too stupid. You turned yourself into something like this, there are no remaining signs of Luna, whether on your face or your body. Without any physical evidence, how are you going to prove you’re Luna Gibson, how are you going to return to Joshua’s side?”Luna frowned, a cold smirk lifting her lips. “Why would I return to his side?”“Hah.”Aura sneered, “If you don’t return to his side, how are you going to protect your children?”Looking at her crazed expression, Luna wanted to say something but was interrupted by Aura’s cold voice.“Time’s up.”She raised her head, looked
The butler’s words made Joshua startle violently.He glanced at the butler with disbelieving eyes. “Come again… who’s back?”“Joshua, I’m back.”A woman’s voice rang faintly, clear and crisp.Joshua frowned, instinctively looking in the direction where the voice came from.His deep-set eyes paused, pupils shrinking violently.Luna Gibson!That’s right!The woman in front of him was Luna Gibson.He had been dreaming about this face for six years!Seeing him looking at her in a daze, a hint of self-satisfaction flashed through her eyes.Then, she cocked her head to the side, and smiled at him. “Why are you looking at me like that, don’t you welcome me?”“No…”For the first time, Joshua who was always cold, arrogant, and reserved, felt nervous.His heart beat wildly in his chest.After a long moment, he finally sucked in a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, strode toward her, and pulled her into his arms.“You’re finally home!”The warmth radiating off his body made a col
“She’s your biological mother.”“She’s not!”The little girl was so agitated she almost burst into tears. “My Mommy doesn’t look like that, she’s not!”Joshua frowned again, then turned to throw a glance at the woman in front of her. “Lulu, this…”The woman closed her eyes helplessly and sighed, “I knew this would happen…”She took out a tissue and wiped her eyes, looking at Nellie sadly. “After I gave birth to my two children Nellie and Neil, my body became so weak and I never had the chance to nurse myself back to health. Then, once, when I was distracted, someone kidnapped my children…” As she talked, she wiped at her tears. “She was a jewelry designer, I met her in the hospital. In the beginning, she was great to me, I trusted her completely, but I didn’t expect her to…when she found out you were the father of my children, she kidnapped them…”As she talked, her despair grew and so did her tears. “All these years, I hid my identity, changed my name to Alice, and searched ev
At this moment, Luna felt like her brain was exploding.This woman in front of her… who was she?“Luna.”The woman raised her head, looking at Luna with a face full of tear stains, “I treated you like my best friend, I told you everything, I even asked you to help me take care of my two kids… And this is how you treat me? How could you… you kidnapped my two children!”She glared at Luna, a hint of hatred flashing through her eyes. “You made my life terrible! How do you know how I lived for the past few years!”Then, the woman rushed forward and squeezed Luna’s neck as if crazed. “What do you want me to do for you to be satisfied? I want to break your bones and skin your body, to make up for the pain of losing my children that you have cost me these past six years!”Luna was pushed backward, her entire body rammed into the door behind her with a loud ‘bang’. The carved pattern on the steel door pressed into her back, hurting her.The woman in front of Luna was still squeezing h
