Aura clung onto Joshua's arm, signaling for him to leave.
Bonnie furrowed her brows at this sight and was about to say something when Nigel piped up, "Alright then. Goodbye, Daddy, Aunty Aura. Nellie, Aunty Bonnie, and I are going to visit Mommy now. I can’t stop worrying about Mommy knowing how sick she i s!"
With that, he let out a sigh and grabbed Nellie's hand. " Don’t cry. You've been crying the entire journey."
Joshua, who had been just about to leave, stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He turned around to look at Nigel and Nellie. "Aren't you here to visit Granny?”
Nigel blinked innocently and replied, "Yes, we are, but we’re mainly here to visit Mommy.”
He cocked his head to one side and continued with an innocent expression, "Daddy, weren't you the one who asked Aunty Aura to text me saying we should come over to visit Mommy? Why are you so shocked?”
Aura’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
Joshua furrowed his brows once more, and he turned t o glance at Aura. "What's going on, Aura?"
The color had drained from Aura's face entirely. She
bit down on her lip and wrapped her hands together, picking at her nails nervously. "I-"
"Aunty Aura was too kind," Nellie interjected.
Initially, she had been puzzled as to why Nigel did not bring up Aura's message at all, but it was then she knew that Nigel had left this until last on purpose!
He knew that as soon as Joshua found out they were here to visit Luna, he would ask how they learned about Luna's condition.
