Romance

On the other end of the phone, Neil sat on a bench by the roadside as his gaze was fixed on the leaving ambulance. “Congratulations,” came his dull response.

Although Mommy and Nellie were saved in the end, he still felt guilty.

He did not expect that Aura would be so cruel to Nellie.

If it was not for him, if he had not asked Nellie to reunite with that trash of a Joshua, this might not have happened.

Thinking about this, Neil’s mood soured.

Not noticing his glum expression, the two security guards still excitedly announced the good news, “Thanks to you, we can report for work at the Lynch Group tomorrow!”

“If you need help in the future, just tell us!”

Work at the Lynch Group? Neil’s eyes lit up at that.

He needed an inside man in the Lynch Group, after all!

...

The hospital.

Joshua gently pushed open the door of the ward, and Luna turned her head when she heard the door ope

Luna’s back hit the cold hard wall, and she grimaced at the impact. 

Joshua squeezed her neck as his eyes flashed coldly. “You’re just a servant who deliberately cares for Nellie to please me. Who do you think you are? 

“I’m very grateful for your actions today, but this doesn’t mean that you can comment about the matters between me and my ex-wife. In this world, no one can talk to me like this except for Nellie’s biological mother!”

The man’s grip on her neck tightened, and Luna’s face turned purple from the lack of oxygen.

A moment later, when she was about to faint, the man released his hand. “Remember yourself!”

“Ahem, ahem...”

Finally breathing fresh air, Luna collapsed on the ground weakly as she clutched her neck and coughed.

“Oh, what’s the matter?” Aura’s lazy voice sounded in the corridor. Luna raised her head subconsciously.

In front of her, Aura wore a red dress as her dainty feet stepped on seven-centimeter-high heels. She looked down at her on the ground proudly. “Sure enough, beautiful women are rotten inside. You deliberately planned the scene today, acting as the saviour. You want Joshua to be grateful to you. Your plan was good, but I saw through you!”

“Aura, what are you talking about?” asked Joshua coldly, brows furrowed tight.

The air in the corridor suddenly became cold.

“I said that she, this maid, planned the whole incident so that you and Nellie would be grateful to her,” Aura sneered at Luna and then hooked her arm around Joshua’s. “I can understand her: she’s just trying to use her position to gain some benefits for herself, but she’s too daring. 

“If something truly happened to Nellie today...” Aura pretended to be sad and placed a palm over her heart. “The accident today really scared me to death!”

“Bullsh*t!” Luna gritted her teeth, stood up angrily, supported herself on the wall, and stared at Aura ferociously.

It was obvious that Aura planned everything. She had yet to hold her accountable, and that woman tried to push all the blame onto her?

“It’s true!”  Seeing that no one believed her, Aura took out a document and explained, “After the accident today, I felt like she was related to it somehow, so I went to retrieve the call records and internet records from Blue Bay Villa from last night to this morning.”

She opened the file and pointed out one of the numbers as she talked, “Look, this number contacted Luna last night. And when something happened to Nellie today, this signal appeared in the main control room of the Ferris wheel!”

Joshua frowned and took the file.

Indeed, as Aura said, that number contacted Luna yesterday, and it appeared in the main control room when the accident happened.

He raised his eyes and looked at Luna sharply. “How do you explain this?”

Luna’s hands balled into fists at her side, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.

The number they mentioned belonged to Neil.

Last night, Neil called her and told her not to let Nellie go to the amusement park. This morning, because he was worried about them, Neil rushed to the amusement park and ran to the main control room when they had an accident...

She could not say any of that, however.

The woman’s hand clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched.

Extreme hatred and anger swept over her. She gritted her teeth, but she could not refute Aura’s accusations!

“You have nothing to say, right?” Aura sneered and flipped a page of the document. “I also investigated the records of Luna’s Internet access last night. Look—she spent a long time last night searching for various accidents that may occur in an amusement park.”

Luna gritted her teeth.

She searched those to protect Nellie, but she had no way of refuting her accusations!

“Joshua.” Aura sighed sadly. “I knew this woman had bad intentions a long time ago, but because Nellie liked her, I didn’t watch out for her. I didn’t expect…

“It’s all my fault. If I saw through her kind facade earlier, maybe Nellie wouldn’t have to suffer like this... It’s all my fault...”

“Luna.”

Joshua threw the file directly on Luna. “How do you explain all this?”

The heavy documents hit her thin body.

Luna stretched out her hand and grasped the wall behind her tightly.

All this information that Aura found was real.

Her whole body trembled, and she had the urge to rush over to Aura, grind her bones to dust, and spread them in the wind.

She must suppress her anger… She must calm down!

Getting infuriated and arguing with her would only make Joshua feel that she was angry because her evil plan had been exposed.

With tears on her face, Aura rushed to Joshua worriedly, wanting to throw herself into his arms, but...

Joshua’s left arm held Nellie and his right arm supported Luna, and it left no space for her at all.

At that moment, Joshua, Luna, and Nellie looked like a family that loved and supported each other.

Aura stopped in her tracks. The bitterness in the woman’s eyes spread like vines.

The medical staff quickly placed Luna and Nellie onto the stretchers and carried them into the ambulance.

“Joshua, you scared me to death!” Waiting for the ambulance to leave, Aura brought her head close to Joshua’s chest. “I cried so much! I thought I’d never see you again...”

Joshua took a step back calmly.

“Sir!” Lucas rushed over in surprise, face swollen and littered with bruises. “Are you okay? I thought that brat was lying to me, but he knew what he was doing and saved you!”

Joshua raised his e
