Luna arrived home from the hospital. As soon as she sat down, however, she received a call from
Nigel.
“Mommy, I’ve managed to confirm the address. The IP address that Aura used to contact Grandma
seems to be coming from a hospital. I’ve sent you the location of the hospital, “ said Nigel over the
phone.
Luna glanced at the address Nigel sent. It seemed to be a mental institution located on the outskirts of
Banyan City.
‘Is it true that Aura hasn’t been sent abroad to Ausland? ‘ Luna thought to herself. ‘Since she was still in
Banyan City, why did Joshua fake the news that she went abroad? He even went to the extent of
forging photographs and footage of Aura landing in Ausland. Was it simply because he wanted to find
an excuse for her sudden disappearance? Why did he imprison her then, and in a mental institution, no
less?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMore and more questions surfaced in her mind. ‘Did Joshua imprison Aura because he wanted her to
pay the price of trying to hurt his child? If so, why did he not report her to the police or just punish her
instead? Why did he choose to imprison her? What is this man up to?’
“Everything points to the possibility that my father found out what my Aunt Aura did, and is trying to
teach her a lesson,“ said Nigel. On the other end of the line, Nigel’s brows tightly together as he
frowned, fingers fluttering across his keyboard.
After a while, he added, “I just hacked into the hospital’s backend system. According to the system
records, Aura was taken away and imprisoned the night of Granny Lynch’s birthday party. If my
calculations are correct, Aura was sent into the hospital almost immediately after the party ended.“
Luna frowned at that. If Joshua had sent Aura into the mental institution as soon as Granny Lynch’s
birthday party ended, then he must have made up his mind to do so during the party itself.
Luna shut her eyes and tried to recall Joshua’s actions the night of the party. She could picture his
stony, determined face as clearly as if he stood right before her.
The night of the party, everything he did and all the words he said were in Aura’s favor. Why did he act
that way if, all the while, he had planned to imprison her?
‘This man truly is an enigma,’ Luna thought to herself.
“It doesn’t matter what happened anymore. Since Aura is still in Banyan City, we still have a chance to
make her pay for what she did, “ said Luna resolutely.
Nigel let out a sigh. “Mommy, what should we do next?“
Luna paused for a moment to think before she replied, “Are visitors allowed? Can we visit her?“
“I don’t think so,“ answered Nigel as his slender fingers flew deftly across the keyboard. He managed to
hack into the hospital’s security system and studied one of the surveillance tapes. “It looks like all the
entrances to Aura’s ward are guarded—even the windows. The guards don’t look like hospital staff,
either. In fact, they seem like Joshua’s own men. Judging from this, you might not be able to visit her,
but it’s not entirely impossible… ”
”What do you mean?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm”If you went with Joshua, you’d probably be able to see her then, ” Nigel answered.
There was silence.
Nigel frowned as he continued to pan the security camera at different angles. ”I know why you want to
visit her, Mommy. You want to get her to come clean about what she did, don’t you?”
Luna stiffened at his words, but it was a split second later that she smiled a forced smile. ”You’ re right.”
Natasha so blindly trusted Aura that she even believed someone was trying to frame her daughter.
Well, whoever started the trouble should be the one to end it. Hence, Luna wanted to make Natasha
see her precious daughter for what she really was: a two – faced liar. To do so, however, she had to get
Aura to come clean about everything herself. That was the best evidence she could ever get her hands
on.
Initially, Luna was led to believe that Aura was in Ausland, so her mission had to be put on hold
indefinitely. However, as it turned out Aura was in Banyan City, things would be much easier.
”Mom.” Nigel let out another sigh before he continued, ”If you want to visit Aura, you…have to find
Joshua.” He was not sure how she would react to this, since he knew that his mother’s hatred for
Joshua ran deeper than the blood in her veins.
