Luna smiled at the nurse faintly and returned to her bed, and she was then pushed out of the intensive care unit.“Yes.” The nurse sighed and added, “I’ve long heard that Mr. Lynch remains deeply in love with his ex-wife, and I thought it was fake. After all, he got engaged with his ex-wife’s sister not long after her death. How deeply in love could he be with her? Now, it looks like…he truly loves his ex-wife.”Luna was leaning by the head of the bed as she listened to the nurse talking. She could not help but sneer.She guessed that this must be the results Joshua was looking for. He wanted everyone to think he was deeply in love with Luna Gibson. He told his lie for so long that he was deeply engrossed in it. He kept saying that he did not allow anyone to mention Luna Gibson or hurt her.However, back then, he was the one who hurt her the most.Luna closed her eyes and sighed. She lifted her head. “How long was I unconscious for?”“Two days.”“Did anyone visit me?”“Yes,”
“Great-Granny!”Nellie bit her lip. She grabbed Luna’s finger with her small hands. “I’ve already said that I only want Aunty to take care of me! Great-Granny, if you’re going to be like that, I won’t like you anymore!”Granny Lynch forcefully dimmed her aloofness and forced a smile. “Nellie, I’ve already said it. You’re one of the masters. You can’t rely on a servant so much.”She then looked at the butler coldly. “Take the little princess out to play. I want to speak to Ms. Luna in private.”Nellie bit her lip. She knew that nothing good could come out of the conversation. She immediately hugged her thin arms around Luna’s. “No! I want to be with Aunty. Whoever breaks us up, I’ll hate them forever!”Granny Lynch’s expressions got uglier at Nellie’s carefree words. Joshua had never gotten close with any women for the past few years. Granny Lynch had even thought she might not be able to see the day where four generations could be together.At that moment, a great-granddaught
“I only like Nellie.”“You like her?” Granny Lynch harrumphed coldly. “More like her dad! When I still didn’t know of Nellie’s existence, I didn’t know you were so manipulative. Using Nellie’s love and reliance for you to live in Blue Bay Villa without any holdbacks. You pacify Nellie on one side while seducing Joshua on the other. You have a beautiful face yet an ugly heart!”Luna had long guessed that Granny Lynch would say that. She gently chuckled. “Granny Lynch, your deduction is pretty logical, but it’s all wrong, sadly.”Luna then eyed the necklace on Granny Lynch’s neck. “Ms. Gibson gave you more gifts?”The necklace this time was the same series as the previous one. Of course, it was fake as well.Granny Lynch rolled her eyes coldly at Luna. “Aura gave this to me. She has such a good eye for things like these. Much better than you! More importantly, Aura is Nellie’s blood-related aunt! You’ll never be able to compete with that! If I had to pick between you and Aura, I’d p
When Granny Lynch left, Nellie came running into Luna’s ward. She locked the door and buried herself in Luna’s arms sobbing, aggrieved.“Mommy, I don’t want to be away from you. Please don’t agree with Great-Granny. I’ll try to find a way to let you stay!”Luna shook her head helplessly. “Don’t waste your effort on this.”She cupped Nellie’s face. “You have to grow up eventually, right?”Nellie sobbed but said nothing.“Don’t worry, I won’t let you be in any danger. When things are settled after a few days, you can safely stay with the Lynchs. Although there are many terrible things about your father, he treats you well, and that goes for your Great-Granny, too. I can see she loves you a lot.”Nellie bit her lip in dissatisfaction. “She doesn’t love me! If she did, why would she not let you stay with me?”“Because she’s an adult, so she has more concerns.”Luna, in fact, understood where Granny Lynch was coming from. After all, Nellie was the precious daughter of the Lynch fami
Neil was only six, yet he spoke like a mature 26-year-old.Luna sighed gently and replied, [I’ve decided to leave Blue Bay Villa after Granny Lynch’s birthday banquet].[Are you going to let Nellie stay back?][Yes.][We’ll have to deal with Aura Gibson first, then.]Neil replied quickly, [I got Zach to gather important evidence. Even if the scumbag isn’t going to do anything, I’ll take these to the police. Aura is going to jail for a few years].Luna sighed. Her son was always so mature and understanding.[Try to comfort Nellie these few days; she doesn’t want me to leave her. Since you were the one to suggest her going back to Joshua, you should take responsibility for this.]Neil was silent for a long time before he eventually brought up that Anne had returned to end their conversation.After a long while, Luna’s phone rang once again. This time, it was a message from Nigel.[Mommy, I’ll deal with Nellie. She listens most to me. Just handle the Aura matter with Neil.] Ni
Luna followed Lucas into the room.Joshua was leaning by the head of the bed. He elegantly placed the documents to the side before he raised his eyebrows and looked at Luna. “You’ve been staring at me outside for twelve minutes.”Luna smiled a little. “Mr. Lynch, you’re so good-looking that I can’t help but be mesmerized.”Joshua did not accept nor deny her praise. Joshua gently picked up the steaming cup of hot water by the side with his large hands and took a sip. “So good looking that you have to peep at me at this hour?”He then looked at Luna. “Do you want some?” asked Joshua with his wet lips.Smiling aloofly, she walked toward him and accepted the cup. She downed its contents in one go. “Thank you, Mr. Lynch.”The warm water flowed through her throat, warming her body up, but her heart was still cold.“I heard that you promised Granny that you’ll leave Blue Bay Villa?” Joshua squinted. His eyes were so deep that it was hard to understand him.“Have you achieved what
Flipping through, there were videos and photos of the amusement park incident. Aura was in every one of them.Joshua’s brows furrowed slightly as a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. “You collected all these?”Neil was just a six-year-old boy.A normal kid his age would have still been crying snottily in kindergarten, yet this boy could not only express himself clearly but could also gather so much evidence?Not many adults could do a private investigation like this. How could he possibly achieve it at such a young age?“Zach and Yuri helped me, but they have their limits. They could only gather so much.”Neil almost saw through Joshua. He calmly shrugged. “If it was just me, I wouldn’t have gotten so much proof, but…”Neil looked at Joshua with narrowed eyes. “I’m just a kid, and Zach and Yuri are just bodyguards. The three of us could only do so much. I believe, Mr. Lynch, that if you were to truly investigate this matter, you would’ve long known who the main perpetrator is. T
Neil looked at Joshua seriously. “I hope you won’t disappoint me then, Mr. Lynch.”Neil took out his phone determinedly and deleted the evidence saved on the cloud storage.He was taking a bet. He was gambling that Joshua would get rid of Aura for Nellie and for his Mommy.The things he saw on Joshua’s computer the last time had troubled him, too.Perhaps, this time, he could see for himself whether Joshua truly loved Luna or was just lying to himself.Seeing Neil deleting the evidence, Joshua smiled faintly. “You truly trust me, huh?”Neil looked at Joshua craftily. “Are you saying that you’re not a person worthy of trust, Mr. Lynch?”“I’m just curious. If I was lying to you just now and I’m not going to do anything against Aura, what would you do?”Neil picked up his fruit juice and took a sip. “If that’s the case, I believe that you’ll lose a lot of things, Mr. Lynch.”Neil put the empty cup down and jumped down from the chair. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.”Th
