Chapter 24
On the other end of the phone, Neil sat on a bench by the roadside as his gaze was fixed on the leaving ambulance. “Congratulations,” came his dull response.
Although Mommy and Nellie were saved in the end, he still felt guilty. He did not expect that Aura would be so cruel to Nellie. If it was not for him, if he had not asked Nellie to reunite with that trash of a Joshua, this might not have happened. Thinking about this, Neil’s mood soured.
Not noticing his glum expression, the two security guards still excitedly announced the good news, ” Thanks to you, we can report for work at the Lynch Group tomorrow! “ “If you need help in the future, just tell us!” Work at the Lynch Group? Neil’s eyes lit up at that. He needed an inside man in the Lynch Group, after all! The hospital.
Joshua gently pushed open the door of the ward, and Luna turned her head when she heard the door opening. She subconsciously frowned at the sight of him. Eyeing the sleeping Nellie on the bed, she turned her head and raised a finger to her lips before she got up and walked out of the ward. “How is she?” asked Joshua in a hushed voice as he stood in the corridor.

“The doctor said it’s an extreme response to fear. She took her medicine and fell asleep.” Luna scrunched her eyebrows slightly and glanced at his tightly bandaged palm. “How’s your wound?” “It’s fine.” The man looked at her. “Thank you.” Regardless of her purpose, she did use her life to protect Nellie, and he saw it with his own two eyes. She deserved his gratitude. “There is no need to thank me.” Luna looked at him with cold eyes. “I am a servant in charge of caring for Nellie. These are just
things I should do. As Nellie’s father, what you should do now isn’t to come here and thank me, but to investigate the person behind the accident.”
Her eyes were cold. Joshua interrupted her faintly, “The accident is still under investigation. We can’t conclude it was intentional. Maybe it was an accident.” Subconsciously, he did not want to believe that this incident was premeditated. “Accident?” Luna sneered, “Do you believe it was an accident? What a coincidence. There are so many people in the amusement park. It broke down right when Nellie and I reached the top, and it just so happened that the door of the car we were in broke off! “Also, the professional rescue team in the amusement park just happened to be on vacation today. To top that off, the rest of the staff weren’t trained to maintain and fix the Ferris wheel. So many coincidences! Do you truly think it was an accident?” “Or…“ She looked at him, her eyes colder than winter. “Do you want to protect the person who wanted your daughter to fall from a height of nearly a hundred meters, to her death? “If I didn’t accompany Nellie on the ride today, do you know what would’ve happened? She’s only six years old, and yet she’s put through so much like this! “ Her every word pierced through his heart like a dozen needles and sharp swords. He stared at her coldly, silently. His expressionless face was the last straw. Her emotions pent-up the entire day overflowed as she collapsed in a scream, “If you only want to protect that person, only care about her, why bother reuniting with your daughter?! “Since you can’t take good care of your daughter, I advise you to return your daughter to her biological mother as soon as possible! “ Her words made Joshua’s eyes widen in rage. In the next second, she was flung against the wall with his hand on her neck.
