Joshua frowned upon hearing this and sternly replied, "We'll see in the future."
"Okay..." Nellie lowered her head in disappointment.
Adrian could not take the sight of that, though. "Come, Nellie, I'll let you feed me instead!"
Nellie's face lit up. She picked up her bowl and sat in front of Adrian. "Open your mouth, Granddad!"
Adrian grinned at her and opened his mouth obediently.
A moment later, Luna had finished eating, so Neil joined Nellie in feeding their grandfather together. Adrian initially wanted to object to this, but he could not resist denying Nellie and seeing her crestfallen expression, so he let them do whatever they wanted.
Luna had finished her meal, so she left the table and sat down on the couch. She whipped out her phone and was about to check the news when she suddenly felt the cushion next to her sink. Joshua had lowered his tall and slender body onto the seat next to her.
"Give me your hand," he ordered in a low voice.
Luna immediately extended her right hand out to him as if she was on autopilot.
It felt like electricity surged in her the minute her hand brushed against Joshua's rough and broad palm.
She tried to pull her hand back, but his grip on her was tight already.
"Don’t move." Joshua held her hand in his while the other one reached out to open a first aid kit. He removed the bandage from the back of her hand to reveal a swollen, red wound. The blister had burst, and her skin was trailing blood.
