Chapter 27
Aura’s face turned pale.
She just wanted to find some evidence to push all the responsibility on Luna, but she forgot that there was not only Luna’s signal in Blue Bay Villa but also Joshua’s! “That’s right, ” Luna leaned against the wall as sarcasm oozed from the corner of her lips. ” Although Mr. Lynch’s mobile phone signals are encrypted, if one or two of them were and it just happened that you monitored it, and the data somehow gets leaked… The ensuing loss may amount to hundreds of millions.” Aura’s face paled instantly. “Joshua, I… I won’t sell your information, ever! I was just…just too anxious. I wanted to find evidence of Luna’s plan, so…”
Looking at Aura’s panicked expression, Luna’s lips raised in a sneer. Just as she was about to say something, however, Nellie’s voice drifted out from the ward. “Auntie…” As soon as her daughter called, Luna dropped everything and pushed open the door to the ward and went inside. That left only Joshua and Aura in the corridor. “Joshua…” muttered Aura with a pout in an attempt to lower his suspicions of her. “I was wrong…” “It’s not the time to apologize yet.” Joshua glanced a t her indifferently. “When the results of the investigations are released, and if it’s the same as what Luna said, implying you’re responsible for the incident today, you know the consequences.”
With that, the man turned around and strode into the ward. Bang ! The door to the ward slammed shut audibly. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Aura stood in the corridor, and as she stared at the closed door, her chest heaved in anger. She was so convinced that her plan was fool-proof, but not only was the little b*stard still alive, but that accursed
maid one-upped her! She was so angry that she kicked the bench with all her strength. ‘Just you wait! ‘ “Were you quarreling outside just now?” As she laid on the hospital bed, the pale little girl glanced at Luna and then at Joshua. “You were so noisy.” “Sorry.”
Joshua came toward her and raised his hand to hold Nellie’s. “It’s Daddy’s fault.” “Daddy.” Nellie looked at him and forced a smile. ” Don’t make me go out with that fierce aunt again in the future, okay? I almost died today…” Looking at the little girl’s haggard appearance, Joshua felt a pang in his chest. “Okay, I won’t force you again.” “Yay!” The little girl nodded. “Also, Auntie is a good person, and she cares about me the most. Don’t treat her badly in the future, okay?” Joshua pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Okay. “Thank you, Daddy.” Nellie smiled weakly; her complexion still pale. She stretched out a slender hand, grabbed Joshua’s hand in one, Luna’s hand in the other, and then gently put their hands together. “From now on, you’11love each other and stop quarreling! “ Joshua frowned, glanced at Luna calmly, and said nothing. The man’s big hands were dry and rough, warm enough to make her heartbeat increase. Luna instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but before she could do so, Joshua’s big hand covered it, holding both her hand and Nellie’s hands at once. “I promise.” After Nellie woke up, the doctor gave her a simple check, and after ensuring she was all right, she discharged her from the hospital. Perhaps it was because of guilt that Joshua held Nellie tightly all the way home from the hospital, and he even ate dinner with her. After dinner, he personally walked her to her room. Although Nellie had always wanted to get along with him, the way he expressed his feelings was all
too… stressful for her. For the little girl, this was the first time when apart from going to the toilet, she was always held in her father’s arms. She felt slightly suffocated. “Daddy, I’m really fine.”
