“Joshua Lynch! “ Luna glared at him. “Don’t make me hate you! “
Joshua’s hand stiffened.
The distress and resentment in her eyes made him pause in his tracks, but this hesitation lasted for only a moment. A few seconds later, Joshua sneered.
He just wanted to find out who this hacker was that helped Luna all the while. He did not intend on doing anything bad to that mysterious hacker. Why would she hate him because of that?
Joshua pressed the button, but a childish voice rang out from the necklace, “Mommy! If you encounter any troubles, don’t be sad! Nellie will always be here for you. Neil said that we should record our voices and keep them in this necklace so that it’ll feel like we’re always there next to you.“
All of a sudden, Neil’s voice rang out, “Even though we’re not physically there with you anymore, you still have to take care of yourself. You’re such a trusting person, and I’m always scared that you’ll be bullied. Please remember to take your meals on time, and go to bed on time, too. Just because we’re not there with you anymore doesn’t mean you can disregard your health.“
The last thing they heard was Neil and Nellie’s unanimous voices, “Mommy, we love you.“
The room fell into silence. After a few moments, the children’s recording repeated. “Mommy! If you encounter any troubles, don’t be sad! Nellie will always be here for you…“
Joshua froze upon hearing this. He lowered his head in shame. “This…“
“Are you happy now?! “ Luna cried out as tears streamed down her face. She snatched the necklace from his hand and put it back on. “I’ve lived with Neil and Nellie for six years! Separating us wasn’t enough, and now you want to take away the messages they’ve recorded for me, too?“
