The moment he got in the car, Joshua kept his gaze forward. His tone was indifferent when he spoke.
Luna paused for a while. She knew that he was talking about her planning to give Michael 200,000
dollars to call off the marriage.
She sighed and said, “I just didn’t want to cause more trouble.“
Michael was a scoundrel. The night before, because she was threatened and forced to agree to get
engaged with him, the problems that arose after that would come one after the other.
Just like the so-called flirting that just happened, it would happen again.
It was because Luna foresaw that happening that she was willing to use the money to get Michael to call
off the marriage.
At that moment, all she could think of was how to help Neil regain his memories and how to rescue Theo.
She did not have any remaining energy left to deal with Michael.
“But, if you have any display of weakness, he’ll only take more advantage of you.“
Joshua turned and looked at Luna closely with his deep gaze.
“You don’t have to be afraid of him from now on. If anything, I’m here.“
Luna was completely taken aback by those two short sentences. Her blood froze. She lifted her head in
a daze, meeting Joshua’s dark, black eyes.
After a while, she blushed and looked away. “This is my own matter…“
When she agreed to get engaged to Michael the night before, she did not seek his approval. How could
she blatantly ask for his help at this point?
“Luna.“ Joshua looked at her deeply. “You and I are on the same team right now. If you’re distracted
because of Michael, am I to help Neil regain his memories alone?“
Luna bit her lip at Joshua’s words.
That made sense. He said that he was going to help her solve the problem with Michael because he was
afraid that she would be distracted.
Luna thought that…
She took a deep breath and nodded. “Thank you, then. I might have to rely on you in the future.“
Joshua nodded. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the leather seat. “Lucas, drive.“
The car moved.
Luna looked out of the window.
Joshua half-opened his eyes. He looked at her slender and gentle side profile from the cracks of his
eyes, and his emotions whirled within him.
When would she finally treat him as someone important to her and willingly accept his sacrifices?
Blue Bay Villa.
Dr. Rowena Shaw came to do a regular check-up on Nigel.
The moment she entered the villa, she saw ‘Nigel’ sitting in the living area, playing with his Rubik’s cube.
“Why are you here alone? Where is Nellie?“ she said while putting the first aid kit down. She bent down
in front of ‘Nigel’ and took his hand, drawing blood from him.
Neil furrowed his brows and looked at the doctor in front of him, not saying anything. He only put his
Rubik’s cube down and went along with her.
Soon, Dr. Rowena had finished drawing blood. She started extracting other samples.
Neil looked at Dr. Rowena taking all sorts of apparatus to start testing, he could not help but furrow his
brows and ask, “Shouldn’t you draw Joshua’s blood for the DNA test, too?“
Dr. Rowena furrowed her brows. She turned to look a t him, confused.
“What DNA test? Nigel, am I not just giving you a regular check-up?“
Neil paused for a while before realizing his mistake. He looked at Dr. Rowena, picked up his Rubik’s
cube, and continued playing with his head lowered.
“You’ve made a mistake. I’m not Nigel. I’m Jake Landry.“
Dr. Rowena was completely stunned. She furrowed her brows and looked at the boy in front of her, who
looked exactly like Nigel.
“Are you his twin brother?”
Neil did not even lift his head. “No. I’m his stepbrother. We have the same father.”
Dr. Rowena was even more shocked. “Then why do you both look alike?”
“Because our mothers are sisters.” Then, Neil lifted his head. “Is there a problem?”
Dr. Rowena paused for a while. She looked at the test results in front of her. “Yes, there is. You and Nigel
are definitely from the same set of parents.”
