Nellie pursed her lips. "Mommy, a long time has passed since Daddy saved you from the fire, right? his wounds healed a long time ago, right? He couldn’t have knocked into his wounds so easily, to the extent where he would have to be admitted into the hospital, right?"
As she said these words, the little girl studied Luna's expressions through the corners of her eyes. "I think the servants are saying that on purpose as an excuse for Daddy to not eat breakfast with me."
Luna frowned as she placed her empty plate on the table. "Maybe."
She then stretched lazily, turned, and sat on the sofa t o play with her phone. It seemed like the news that Joshua was admitted into the hospital did not affect her much.
Nellie furrowed her brows as she bit her lip silently.
In truth, she did not come to them because she did not have breakfast at home. She thought that Mommy would be nervous knowing that Daddy was in the hospital. After all, every time Daddy was admitted into the hospital, Mommy would be very anxious.
It seemed, however...
"Just eat." Neil glanced at his sister carelessly. "Don’t poke your adult into adult matters." 3
Nellie bit her lip before she lowered her head in disappointment and continued eating her breakfast. She did not stay for long after that.
Even though Joshua was in the hospital, Adrian was still waiting for her to return from her breakfast. She could not waste too much time outside.
Looking at Nellie’s retreating back, Neil pursed his lips silently and muttered, "Shallow girl; always attracted by his appearance and forgetting her true purpose."
Luna smiled. "Don’t blame her. Joshua is quite nice to her, actually.’’
"I don't think so." Neil collected the dirty dishes and brought them to the kitchen.
Amid the flow of water, the little boy washed the dishes and coldly remarked, "If he truly is nice to Nellie, he'd get Aura Gibson arrested, not send her to study abroad in Australia.”
Luna’s hand that held her phone trembled. It seemed she was not the only one to have seen the news last night in the mall.
