"Did you call the ambulance?"
Neil was silent for a while. "No.”
"You dare say no?" Aura instantly frowned upon Neil’s words. Her gaze was resentful. 1
"The person that called on your behalf has already admitted to it! Jake Landry. You're smart. You did not call the ambulance yourself, but you got the bodyguard who went along with your call for you!
"Joshua was barely injured for three minutes then he was rescued! Didn't I tell you that I want him almost dead on the beach? You only stabbed him once and called the ambulance in time. Is he your family or am I your family?"
Neil remained kneeling on the floor. He did not lift his head.
"Mother, when I went there, I saw a stab wound on his body. It was deep as well. He also said that he purposely went for a cortisone shot to celebrate someone’s birthday. That was why he looked normal. I saw how weak he looked, so I only stabbed him once and called for the ambulance..."
Neil took a deep breath, lifted his head, and looked at Aura calmly.
"You have also said before that Joshua is my father. W
e came back to Banyan City to get rid of Luna and her two children so that we can be reunited with Joshua.
"You only wanted to teach him a lesson, to let him know that you and I have returned, that's all. When I saw his injuries, I thought if I were too cruel, he would have lost his life on the spot, that was why I held back."
Then, Neil bit his lips.
"We cannot let Joshua Lynch die at this moment, if not, I won’t be able to inherit his fortune, you would not be able to kick Luna away to become the true Mrs. Lynch too, mother. What do you say?"
