At Nellie's words, both Joshua and Nigel fell instantly silent. Judging from the CCTV recording, the bodyguards did not lie. A boy who looked exactly like Nigel appeared and signed for Fiona’s release.
If this boy was indeed Neil... That proved that Neil was no longer the same boy he was.
Nigel could not accept the fact that his little brother, the person who was closest to him had turned into a completely different person. So, he sucked in a deep breath and clutched Nellie's hand tightly. "That isn't Neil."
That could not be him, it was definitely not him!
Nellie bit her lip. "But..."
"No buts." Nigel took a deep breath and stood up violently. "I’m not feeling well, I'll be in my room." With that, he fled upstairs.
Nellie pursed her lips, glanced at her mother then shifted her gaze onto her father. Finally, she stood up and ran after her brother. "I'll take a look at Nigel. He seems...to be in a bad mood." Then, she too ran upstairs.
Only Luna and Joshua were left in the living room.
Joshua's eyebrows were screwed tightly together. He turned and glanced at the woman sitting beside him."
You don't look surprised."
Both Nellie and Nigel found it hard to accept the fact that the boy in the video could be Neil. But as his mother, Luna did not seem surprised at all. Obviously, she knew this a long time ago.
Luna shifted her eyes toward Joshua, glancing at him i n return. "You don't look shocked either, am I right?"
Joshua curled his lips in a wry smile and leaned back on the sofa. "That's why you refused to leave no matter what nasty trick Fiona threw at you. It's all because of Neil? If I guessed correctly, the man you were hugging during the fireworks celebration was Theo Allen?"
