Joshua’s interrogation made Nigel frown. His voice was low but his tone was sharp, and it seemed to penetrate right through the phone. Despite being miles apart, Nigel felt like he could picture Joshua sitting right in front of him, staring at him with those dark piercing eyes. This feeling was suffocating.
Nigel let out a sigh and tugged on his patient’s gown. For the first time in his life, Nigel felt unsure of himself. “Mr. Lynch, my identity has nothing to do with Luna and the rest… When the time comes, I will reveal myself to you.“
Joshua chuckled and gazed out at the bridge over the ocean. “You sound young.“
Despite the enhanced voice, Joshua could still hear the unmistakable panic in the person’s tone. “Let’s meet up.“
“No need.“ Nigel sighed and hung up the phone. As soon as he cut off the signal, Nigel leaned against the headboard, trying to catch his breath. It took a while before he finally felt his heart stop racing. He had not felt this nervous in a long time now. The last time he felt this way was when his laptop got hacked by Joshua.
When he thought of this, Nigel slid off the bed and walked to the table. He flipped open the broken laptop.
(Wait till I get my hands on you. Joshua Lynch ]
Looking at the row of green letters on his laptop screen, Nigel let out a sigh. He raised his hand to touch the two words “Joshua Lynch“.
This was his father…
What kind of person was he?
Nigel used to detest Joshua with all his heart and never looked forward to meeting him, but now…
Nigel closed his eyes and recalled what his doctor had said, “Your mother doesn’t know that your condition has worsened… and that you have less than a year to live now. If she doesn’t find a match for you in time…“
Nigel let out a strained smile.
