When Granny Lynch left, Nellie came running into Luna's ward. She locked the door and buried herself in Luna's arms sobbing, aggrieved.
"Mommy, I don't want to be away from you. Please don't agree with Great-Granny. I'll try to find a way to let you stay!"
Luna shook her head helplessly. "Don't waste your effort on this."
She cupped Nellie's face. "You have to grow up eventually, right?”
Nellie sobbed but said nothing.
"Don't worry, I won’t let you be in any danger. When things are settled after a few days, you can safely stay with the Lynchs. Although there are many terrible things about your father, he treats you well, and that goes for your Great-Granny, too. I can see she loves you a lot."
Nellie bit her lip in dissatisfaction. "She doesn't love m e! If she did, why would she not let you stay with me?"
"Because she's an adult, so she has more concerns."
Luna, in fact, understood where Granny Lynch was coming from. After all, Nellie was the precious daughter of the Lynch family. If such a precious baby relied so much on a maid, no one in the family would
accept that.
"I don’t care. I just don't like her." Nellie pouted capriciously. "If she dares to get rid of you, I won't be friendly to her next time!"
Seeing how stubborn Nellie was, Luna sighed. She could only comfort Nellie before she eventually persuaded the girl to leave.
It was already dark when Nellie left.
The nurse brought dinner in. After placing her dinner right in front of Luna, the nurse took the remote control out and turned on the television. "Are you bored here?"
Luna ignored and smiled. She lifted her head and saw Aura’s pretentious face on the television.
Aura was smiling at the camera.
