Christian was slightly stunned at Luna's question.
Using his fist to cover his mouth, Christian cleared his throat.
"I'm just saying. L-Let's go in and visit Joshua."
Then, Christian turned around and entered the ward.
Looking at Christian’s back, Luna slightly furrowed her brows.
"Our cousin is hiding something from us," Nellie, who always did not like to talk, unprecedentedly opened her mouth and said, "And it's something to do with that woman." 1
Luna looked at Nellie in shock.
Ever since Nellie had autism, she rarely initiated a conversation.
For that, the doctors did a lot of targeted practice for Nellie. They found many things that Nellie might be interested in, trying to lead her to initiate a conversation.
However, no matter how hard they tried, Nellie was not willing to open her mouth.
No one would have expected that Nellie would take the initiative to speak up.
Noticing Luna looking at her, Nellie pursed her lips
rather embarrassedly.
"Let's go in."
Nigel nodded as well. The both of them on each side of Luna pulled her into the ward.
In the ward, Joshua, with a cold handsome face, was quietly lying in bed.
His face was pale and his eyes were shut tight.
He laid there as if he was just simply asleep, yet he also looked like he was never going to wake up.
Looking at her Daddy, Nellie was a little heartbroken.
She bit her lips and reached out to grab Joshua’s finger.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito buzzing.
"Daddy, I'm here...
"Wake up and have a look at me, Nellie...”
Joshua’s brows moved a little, but he did not look like he was waking up.
Nigel turned to look at Luna. He said in a suppressed tone, "Mommy, he...seems quite serious."
Then, Nigel also walked over. Together with Nellie, he whispered something in Joshua's ears.
Luna stood by the door, her body stiffened. She looked at Joshua with his eyes shut.
She has liked this face for many years. She has also hated him badly. She loathed him to the point where she wanted to rip his heart out.
