Neil nodded his head upon Aura’s words. Since his mother had said so, that meant that for the next three days,
Uncle Theo would be fine.
Upon receiving his reply, Aura slightly squinted her eyes and pushed Neil to Nigel and Nellie.
The three of them finally met each other face to face.
Nigel narrowed his eyes and looked at Neil, not moving.
“Hello, Jake! Nice to meet you! “
Nellie heard how Neil corrected Great-Granny Lynch when she hugged him a moment ago, so Nellie obediently
called him Jake instead.

before, unable to remember things in the past nor remember who they were to him.
Therefore, although Nellie was a little resentful at Neil for saying the things he said a moment ago, she was still
willing to accept him.
Nigel was a different case. From the beginning, Nigel had been staring at Neil coldly.
It was a quiet and cold gaze. It was not hostile, but it was still terrifying.
Neil furrowed his brows and fearlessly met Nigel’s
gaze. Both of them met each other’s gaze, one condescending and arrogant, and the other calm and aloof.
Nellie could feel the tension in the air. She pursed her lips and immediately reached out to grab Nigel’s hand. She
got Nigel to shake hands with Neil.
“Both of you, stop. We’re family.“
Nigel coldly retreated his hand. “I won’t be a family with someone who can’t distinguish between right and wrong.“
Neil also retreated his hand. “I’m also not willing to be a family with someone who doesn’t acknowledge my
identity.“
Nellie bit her lip hard. Ever since young, the three of them grew up together. Nigel and Neil had never fought
before.
At that moment, she did not know what to do, so she could only look up at Luna asking for help.
Luna rather helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows. She slowly walked over. “Nigel, Jake, stop fighting.“
Then, she grabbed Nigel’s hand. She reached her other hand out, wanting to hold Neil’s hand.
However, the moment she touched his fingers, Neil swerved, brows furrowed as he retreated in detest.

“Don’t touch me.“
Gone was his gentle and bubbly tone when he rescued her previously. It was distant and aloof.
Luna stiffened in the same spot. She felt as if her heart was crushed cruelly by something.
He was her son. Before going through all that, he still rescued her from Michael. He even lent her a shoulder, let
her hug him while she cried.
However, at that moment…
Luna bit her lip hard. She was heartbroken.
Neil must have believed Aura, thinking that she was the bad person.
In the distance, Aura saw how Neil rejected Luna. A hint of delight spread across her eyes. After Neil lost his
memory, he was indeed very obedient. The doctor who fed him the medicine to lose his memories was right.
