“Joshua!” Aura stood up from her chair in shock. He grabbed the broken edge of the car door just as he nearly plummeted… Blood instantly flowed from the fingers.His whole body hung outside the car, and it drew gasps and exclaims from the crowd below.Aura looked back anxiously at the bodyguard. “Order them to fix it quickly, right now!”How come the one that fell was Joshua? Why was it not any of the b*tches? She just wanted to get rid of them, and she never wanted to harm Joshua!“Daddy!” Nellie stretched out her small hand at him at the critical moment and tried to grasp his hand before Luna held her down. “You’re too light, and his weight will only pull you with him.” She took a deep breath, tied Nellie, tightened the rope around her body again, and then carefully crawled toward Joshua.She reached out her hand toward him. “Come on.”He did not move.He grabbed the metal sheet in a vice-like grip as he scoffed, tone slightly cold, “Don’t want to kill me anymore?”Luna’
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 eyebrows slightly. “What brat?”Lucas quickly told Joshua what he had seen in the control room.“Th
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 opening. She subconsciously frowned at the sight of him.Eyeing the sleeping Nellie on the bed, she tu
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.
Luna just had to calm down!Luna took a deep breath and looked up at Joshua, her voice trembling slightly, “If I said I searched for the dangers that could appear in the amusement park yesterday in fear something might happen to Nellie, would you believe me?”Aura sneered, “But what about that number?” Luna gritted his teeth and resisted the gushing hatred and anger. “That number...belonged to a friend of mine. He knew I was going to the amusement park, so he could take care of me in case something happened.”She looked at Joshua and tried to make herself sound as sincere as possible.Joshua frowned slightly. “Call your friend, and I’ll ask him personally.”“He won’t come.” Luna’s lips trembled. “I won’t admit to such accusations, and my friends don’t need to explain themselves on my behalf.”She closed her eyes and said in a cold voice, “Everything I did today, whether it was premeditated, or was it just to please Mr. Lynch? I think Mr. Lynch would know better than me.“In my
Aura’s face turned pale.She just wanted to find some evidence to push all the responsibility on Luna, but she forgot that there was not only Luna’s signal in Blue Bay Villa but also Joshua’s!“That’s right,” Luna leaned against the wall as sarcasm oozed from the corner of her lips. “Although Mr. Lynch’s mobile phone signals are encrypted, if one or two of them were and it just happened that you monitored it, and the data somehow gets leaked… The ensuing loss may amount to hundreds of millions.”Aura’s face paled instantly.“Joshua, I… I won’t sell your information, ever! I was just...just too anxious. I wanted to find evidence of Luna’s plan, so...”Looking at Aura’s panicked expression, Luna’s lips raised in a sneer. Just as she was about to say something, however, Nellie’s voice drifted out from the ward. “Auntie…”As soon as her daughter called, Luna dropped everything and pushed open the door to the ward and went inside. That left only Joshua and Aura in the corridor.“
As she laid on the little pink bed, Nellie blinked her big eyes and looked at the man earnestly. “You’ve been with Nellie for a long time, and it’s time to go to work. Just ask the Auntie to come over and tell me a story!”Joshua took the storybook. “I can tell a good story.”Nellie was flabbergasted.“You lie! I’ve heard your stories before!” The little girl stretched out her hand and shook his sleeves. “I want Auntie, Daddy. Go ahead...”After her repeated requests, Joshua finally stepped out of her room, incredibly disappointed.Luna stood in the corridor, outside the door as she waited for him to leave.The man pushed open the door and looked at Luna with a face full of displeasure before he lifted his feet and left.Luna shook her head helplessly before she pushed the door in.“Mommy.” Nellie leaned toward Luna and said in a low voice, “Don’t you think Daddy is being too gentle today? It looks like he’s terrified of losing us, too.”“The one he’s afraid of losing is you.”
“Why?”As he noticed the little boy’s shocked expression, Joshua’s lips twisted into a smile. “Surprised to see me?”Neil swallowed and nodded honestly. “It is indeed a surprise...”How did he find this place?“It seems that there’s no need to introduce myself.” The man took a clean glass and poured himself a glass of beer gracefully. “Since you saved my daughter, why are you avoiding me?”“No, I didn’t avoid you.” Neil turned away guiltily and dared not look at him.Although he repeatedly scolded him for being a scumbag, Neil still felt uncomfortable and uneasy when he suddenly appeared next to him.Joshua chuckled. “You really didn’t avoid me?”Neil coughed slightly. “I do good deeds without leaving a name.”“Not only do you leave no name, but also leave no trace?”His men had scoured through the whole amusement park and checked everyone that entered and exited the park, but they could not find him.Neil took a sip of orange juice and said not a word. Joshua did not fixa
