But she was wrong.
Neil’s room looked… richly decorated and luxurious too, almost the same as Nellie’s room.
In the opulent and spacious room, Neil sat on his chair playing with a Rubik’s cube, looking cool
wearing a mask and a hat.
Seeing the two girls, one younger and the other older, enter the room, he smiled faintly, raising his
eyes, and looked at his mother, “Did you get a good night’s sleep?“
“Perfect.“
Luna looked at Neil and her tears could not help but fall.
He was always a prideful boy, he loved dressing up, and acting cool.
But now, to successfully capture Aura, he purposely hurt himself like this.
“Alright, don’t cry.“ Neil laughed softly, “Men aren’t afraid of pain and getting hurt.“
He raised his head and looked at Luna seriously. “But the police called this morning, they want you, as

He lowered his eyes to check the time, “It’s 9 a.m., if we leave now, we’ll be back in time for lunch.“
Luna pursed her lips, nodding heavily. “Okay.“
The mother and son duo held hands as they went downstairs. At that moment, Joshua was leaning on
the sofa elegantly, reading newspapers.
At the sound of footsteps on the staircase, he glanced at them out of the corners of his eyes. “Are you
going to the police station?“
“Yeah.“
Luna nodded. “If we can’t make it back by noon, then we won’t be having lunch at home.“
Joshua looked at her, narrowing his eyes slightly.
After a few short seconds, he laughed softly. “You’ll make it.“
His gaze studying her was too sharp and dangerous, she felt as if he could read all her thoughts and
ideas.
She held onto Neil’s hand tightly and turned and left the villa.
Joshua sat on the sofa, his eyes narrowed as he watched the two figures, one smaller and the other
leave, then retracted his gaze.
He placed his newspaper down, raised his head, and picked up the report on the coffee table.
Luna took Neil and stepped out of the car in front of the police station.
Before they could enter, two figures approached them, blocking their way.
The two people standing in their way were not anyone else but Luna and Aura’s biological parents,
Natasha Gibson and Joseph Gibson.
This was the first time Luna had seen her father since she came home.
Six years had passed since the last time she saw him. He had lost weight now, but he looked livelier,
more energetic.

Joseph held out his hand to Luna politely. “I am Aura Gibson’s father, I’m Joseph Gibson.“
Luna suppressed the despair in her heart, reached out her hand, and held his. “Mr. Gibson.
We would like to have a chat with you.“ Joseph looked at Luna, his voice gentle and humble, “I
apologize on behalf of my daughter for her actions yesterday. We just came from the police station, the
lawyer said she was arrested for kidnapping your son yesterday. If you could express your acceptance
and understanding, it will greatly reduce her sentence.“
Then, the married couple looked at Luna with expectant eyes. “Ms. Luna, she’s the only daughter we
have left, you wouldn’t… you wouldn’t just watch coldly as we lose her?“
“Exactly.“ Beside him, Natasha wiped her tears. “We can’t live without Aura…“
Standing under the sunlight, Luna looked at the elderly couple in front of her, feeling dizzy and
disoriented.
The disorientation pierced through her mind like a needle.
A few short seconds later , she massaged her temples, raised her eyes, and looked at them. ”The only
daughter you have left? So to the two of you, Luna Gibson is as good as dead?”
