Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua) novel Chapter 163

Luna arrived home from the hospital. As soon as she sat down, however, she received a call from Nigel.

“Mommy, I’ve managed to confirm the address. The IP address that Aura used to contact Grandma seems to be coming from a hospital. I’ve sent you the location of the hospital, “ said Nigel over the phone.

Luna glanced at the address Nigel sent. It seemed to be a mental institution located on the outskirts of Banyan City.

‘Is it true that Aura hasn’t been sent abroad to Ausland? ‘ Luna thought to herself. ‘Since she was still in Banyan City, why did Joshua fake the news that she went abroad? He even went to the extent of forging photographs and footage of Aura landing in Ausland. Was it simply because he wanted to find an excuse for her sudden disappearance? Why did he imprison her then, and in a mental institution, no less?’

More and more questions surfaced in her mind. ‘Did Joshua imprison Aura because he wanted her to pay the price of trying to hurt his child? If so, why did he not report her to the police or just punish her instead? Why did he choose to imprison her? What is this man up to?’

“Everything points to the possibility that my father found out what my Aunt Aura did, and is trying to teach her a lesson,“ said Nigel. On the other end of the line, Nigel’s brows tightly together as he frowned, fingers fluttering across his keyboard.

After a while, he added, “I just hacked into the hospital’s backend system. According to the system records, Aura was taken away and imprisoned the night of Granny Lynch’s birthday party. If my calculations are correct, Aura was sent into the hospital almost immediately after the party ended.“

Luna frowned at that. If Joshua had sent Aura into the mental institution as soon as Granny Lynch’s birthday party ended, then he must have made up his mind to do so during the party itself.

Luna shut her eyes and tried to recall Joshua’s actions the night of the party. She could picture his stony, determined face as clearly as if he stood right before her.

The night of the party, everything he did and all the words he said were in Aura’s favor. Why did he act that way if, all the while, he had planned to imprison her?

‘This man truly is an enigma,’ Luna thought to herself.
