The confusing thing was that Aura vanished into thin air for the past few days. There was no information about her.
The news said that Aura was sick, so she had to put off a few work engagements to rest at home.
She did not even attend awards ceremonies, which were her utmost priorities.
The news that Malcolm’s men gave was that Aura was cooped up at home, and Joshua’s men were protecting her.
Luna was a little lost the moment she heard the news.
Joshua’s men, protecting Aura? Why? Were they afraid that someone would do something to them?
Please —as if it was not only Aura’s doing all along.
At that thought, Luna smiled bitterly. Her bitterness turned into mockery.
It seemed like Joshua would care for the people he liked so cautiously.
Even if Aura tried to kill his daughter a few times, he was still worried about Aura. Moreover, he canceled her work engagements and sent men over to protect her.
His behavior matched the man that once killed her to protect Aura.
Yes, were they not the same way six years ago? Why should she be so surprised again?
“Luna.“
A knock suddenly came from the door of the patient’s ward. Luna immediately kept her phone and looked up.
Lucas was standing by the door in white.
She furrowed her brows. “Anything I can help you with?“
“Tomorrow is Granny Lynch’s birthday banquet. “ Lucas cleared his throat. “Mr. Lynch wants you to go shopping today to get ready for Nellie’s clothes tomorrow. He plans to announce Nellie’s identity together with Granny Lynch tomorrow, so she has to dress up a little.“
“Okay.“ Luna indeed had to prepare for Nellie. After all, Nellie was to stay alone with the Lynch family tomorrow onward.
After the birthday banquet, it was the day Nellie’s identity would be made known. It would also be the day she had to be independent.
Thus, Luna decided to take Nellie shopping. Since things had happened during the few times she took Nellie out, she and Nellie went to the shopping mall with a dozen bodyguards this time.
Luna was always busy when they were overseas, and she never had a chance to go shopping with Nellie.
In the mall, Nellie was as excited as a buzzing bee. She zoomed around in the mall.
Until…
“Ouch! “
“Whose child is this? She almost killed me!” “I—I’m sorry…”
Luna, who was nearby picking out shoes, heard the commotion and immediately headed over.
“What happened?”
Seeing her arriving, Nellie rushed into her arms. “I… I accidentally crashed into that old lady…” she muttered, teary-eyed.
“How careless of you.” Luna helplessly chided before looking up.
“Ma’am, are you alright?” Luna helped the woman on the floor up to her feet.
“I’m fine.” That familiar voice made Luna widen her eyes. She looked closely and was instantly shocked, rooted on the spot.
The person that Nellie crashed into was no one other than her mother, Natasha Gibson!
“Mom, what’s taking you so long?” Aura’s voice came from a distance.
