Was Joshua willing to return the children to her once she was successfully treated?
He had not even seen a doctor's report yet and had already believed that Luna was mentally unstable because of Fiona and fake-Nigel's words. Worse still, h e had taken her children away from her!
How could she be sure he would return the children to her, and not use her mental state as an excuse to keep them by his side?
Psychiatric illnesses were one of the most challenging diseases to diagnose.
Luna had been provoked by Fiona in the ward, which led her to attack and keep Fiona in a chokehold.
However, Fiona and Joshua thought she had lost her mind and convinced themselves that she was mentally ill.
Luna gripped her phone tightly. Just as she was about to continue listening, however, the call got hung up.
Luna closed her eyes as she listened to the beeping dial tone, then let out a huge sigh and tucked her phone away.
Meanwhile, Christian was still pondering over what had happened with Jake. "If the child that took Nigel's place isn't Jake Landry, who was he then? Was Nigel taken away by bad guys?"
Luna shot him an impassive glance. "Nigel's perfectly safe right now."
Obviously, whoever was behind this had used fake-Nigel to fool Joshua, then immediately switched the two children back.
This was a clever move. After all, Joshua had decided t o take both Nigel and Nellie with him. Even though Nigel did not have much contact with Joshua, Nellie spent almost every minute of her day with him. If whoever was behind this did not send the real Nigel back in his place, Nellie would soon realize something was wrong and cause the entire scheme to fail.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and felt as though someone had lifted the weight off her shoulders.
As long as Nigel was safe and did not fall into Aura's hands, everything would be fine.
Even though Fiona would make their lives at Orchard Manor difficult, Luna knew that Nigel and Nellie had their own ways of getting on her nerves.
Nonetheless, Luna still had to make sure that Joshua did not indulge Fiona too incessantly and let her mistreat the children. Therefore, she picked up her phone and dialed Granny Lynch’s number.
Luna knew that Granny Lynch had missed the children terribly and was constantly looking for ways t o get to know Nigel better.
In the past, Granny Lynch had been so outraged upon hearing Luna's plans to take the children away from Banyan City that she almost collapsed.
