“I’m sure Nellie is devastated by this…“
Nellie had narrowly escaped death multiple times. Although she was a mentally strong girl, having encountered hardships and difficulties since she was young, it was still a very emotionally overwhelming event for a young child to witness her father showing mercy towards the woman who had almost killed her. It was unforgivable!
“It’s already late now,“ Nigel said, letting out a sigh. “I’ll try to comfort her tomorrow after she wakes up.”
Neil nodded. “Okay.“
Neil was the one who sent Nellie back to be with Joshua. He had done that so that Luna would have a reason to reach out to Joshua and so that there
would be someone helping her from the inside. However, the situation now spun totally out of his control. Neil was a bright boy, but even he was at a loss now.
Neil sighed and lowered his head to glance at Luna on the floor below him. She was utterly wasted now at this point.
There was a hotel on the floor above the bar. Malcolm was trying to drag her up the stairs, carrying her entire weight on his body. Despite that, he was very courteous and did not try to take advantage of her.
Neil let out another sigh at this sight. Sometimes, he really appreciated all the things that his godfather did for them. However, he could not understand why Malcolm still had not managed to win over Luna’s heart.
Malcolm laid Luna down on the bed of the hotel room. Then, just as he was about to pour her a glass of water, his phone rang. He frowned and picked up the phone.
“Sir,“ said a low voice from the other end of the line. “We’ve managed to track Aura down. Joshua has locked her up in a mental institution.“
Malcolm immediately froze upon hearing this.
