Chapter 16

Author: Inked Snow
Not long after the nurse left, Aura was led into Anne’s office.

“Be careful when stitching up my wound. I don’t want any scars!” Aura ordered coldly before she leaned back in her chair and started watching videos on her phone.

Her behavior displeased Anne, but she was a doctor above all else. Lowering her head, she began to stitch Aura’s wound seriously.

Just as Anne squatted down and was about to start sewing, all while Aura was watching a drama on her phone, Nigel accidentally fell on Anne.

“Ouch!”

His little finger landed right on Aura’s wound. He took the opportunity to wipe the salt on his fingers onto her wound—

“Argh!” Aura was in so much pain that her entire face contorted in an instant, and she almost jumped out of the chair. That startled Anne completely.

“Sorry...” Nigel quickly bowed his head and confessed his mistake, “Beautiful Auntie, I didn’t mean it. just... accidentally fell...”

Aura’s facial features were distorted with pain as she stared at Nigel viciously. “careless? That’s it?”

“It was an accident.” Nigel pursed his lips and looked at Aura with those pitiful doe eyes. “Pretty Auntie, if you’re really angry… You can fall on top of me.”

Aura’s eyes were round with anger. She was an adult! Was she going to fall flat on this brat boy?

“Pardon me, this is my godson. Children like to fool around,” Anne apologized in a low voice as she began to disinfect Aura’s wound with alcohol. “It’ll hurt a bit, so please bear with it.”

Aura’s screams suddenly sounded more intensely in the office.

Anne finished sterilizing the wound and began to suture it.

Aura still looked down at her phone, her attention on the show. She was nearing a pivotal moment in the plotline when her cell phone suddenly beeped that the Wi-Fi password was incorrect.

Aura frowned. “What’s going on?”

Beside her, Nigel cautiously leaned over. “Pretty Auntie, let me help you get the password...as an apology for what I just did.”

Aura scrutinized the boy and, presumably thinking that this little boy would not lie, handed him her phone.

Nigel took her mobile phone, quickly logged in to Aura’s mobile account with his spare mobile phone, and synced all her messages.

Once finished, he deleted the verification information in Aura’s phone and logged in to the Wi-Fi he just changed the password for.

Nigel moved quickly, and coupled with his young age, Aura was completely unaware.

She took the cell phone he handed back to her and smiled arrogantly. “Okay, I forgive you!”

Nigel returned her gaze and smiled crookedly. “Pretty Auntie, you’re so kind!”

Pleased with his compliment, Aura finally left, satisfied.

After she left, Anne quickly closed the door and forced Nigel to the corner and questioned him, “Why did you rub salt into her wound? And the last time she was in the restaurant, you were the one that made it so that she couldn’t get out of the bathroom, right? Do you have something against her?”

Nigel changed into a more comfortable position and leaned on the small bed. “Guess.”

...

That night.

After Luna coaxed Nellie to sleep, she secretly went out to call Nigel.

“Fine. I know you’re taking care of Nellie, so I didn’t bother you.” On the other end of the phone, Nigel sounded level-headed and relaxed. “I’m fine with Godmother.”

“You and Nellie...”

He remembered what he had read in Aura’s phone before—her conversation with her friend.

The little boy sighed. “Be careful over there. That mistress isn’t a good person.” Although he could clearly monitor the contents of Aura’s phone, her entire life was not written on her phone, and he could not control everything.

“I know.” Luna sighed. “While you live at Godmother’s house, don’t cause trouble for her, do you hear me?”

“I know, I’m not a kid anymore.”

Nigel rolled his eyes. “The nurses in Godmother’s hospital like me, so don’t worry.”

His mature tone amused Luna as he acted as if he was a little adult, smiling helplessly. After speaking with him a little more, she hung up the phone and went back to the villa.

On the coffee table in the living room were fragments of wedding photos Aura had torn down during the day. She frowned.

Almost instinctively, she sat on the sofa and carefully pieced the pieces together. Although she did not want to admit it, that was indeed the best memory she ever had.

What a pity…

Just as Luna was about to piece together one of the photos, a man’s low, indifferent voice was heard from the stairs, “What are you doing?”

She withdrew her hand abruptly and looked in the direction of the voice.

Joshua was leaning on the stairs aloofly as his eyes stared at her hand coldly.

She hurriedly lowered her head to seem as if she was admitting her mistake, “I’m sorry. I saw these fragments on the coffee table. I guess you wanted to piece the photos together, so I just...”

The man frowned and strode toward her, taking away the photo fragments in her hand. “Don’t touch my belongings in the future.” He carefully placed the fragments on the tabletop. “Don’t think this will please me.”

Luna narrowed her eyes slightly, apologizing, but the corners of her lips lifted, pleased.

She wanted Joshua to feel that she had ill intentions toward him. Only then would he not doubt her true identity.

“I’ll be taking my leave now, Mr. Lynch.”

With that, she turned around to head upstairs.

“Nellie...” Joshua sat down on the sofa and leaned back gracefully. “Was she alright today?”

The little girl asked him to hang up his and her mother’s wedding photo yesterday, yet Aura destroyed it. She must have been sad, was she not?

“Not really.” Luna turned her back to Joshua, her lips twitching slightly. “Mr. Lynch, you seem to be really fond of your daughter.”

The man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her retreating figure, waiting for her to continue.

Her lips turned into a small smile. “I didn’t see a picture of your ex-wife at home before, yet there are lots of them all of a sudden. You must’ve done it to please the little princess, right?”

The words of the woman caused Joshua to narrow his eyes slightly. He stared at her indifferently. “You seem to care a lot about my wife and me, don’t you?”

“Certainly.” Luna smiled. “My purpose in coming here is to revere you, so it’s only natural I’d be curious about your relationship.”

Joshua gave a cold snort. Of course!

It was true that this woman came to be a maid because she harbored intentions toward him!

He glanced at Luna coldly. “Remember, you are just a servant. Don’t say what you shouldn’t say, don’t do what you shouldn’t do. This position beside me can’t be filled by just anyone who wants it.”

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view?

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil
