Malcolm, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while. “Luna, I know that you might not be able to
accept this fact, but you just had a miscarriage a month ago. Even if you try hard with Joshua, it might
not be in time…“
Luna closed her eyes. “I don’t want to argue with you.“
She tried her best to reign in her emotions.
“Malcolm. I just lost two children, yet you’re here discussing with me when I’m going to lose my third
child. Do you think it’s appropriate?“
Malcolm paused a little. He said nothing.
“I know you’re being kind, but you really can’t understand what I’m feeling right now. I don’t want to
argue with you, so I’m going to hang up.“
Once Luna hung up and lifted her head, she saw a scrawny figure by the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNigel was much skinnier compared to when she first left him and returned back to the country. A light
breeze blew by Nigel in his hospital gown. It emphasized how skinny his body and limbs were.
Even though he was skinny, his face was quite round. Not because he was plump, but because it was
swollen.
Nigel stood there, silently looking at Luna with his huge black eyes. Seeing how he noticed her, Nigel
smiled a little.
“Mommy, you’ve gotten skinny. You have to eat more.“
Upon hearing how mature and adult-like Nigel sounded, Luna’s tears instantly fell.
She frantically got down from the bed. Her legs dragged the blanket down, which indirectly swept all of
the things by the nightstand to the ground.
However, Luna could barely care about all that. She immediately rushed forward and hugged Nigel in
her arms.
“Why did you come? How long have you stood there?“
“I was here for a long time. I was listening to you and Uncle Malcolm discussing my funeral, so I didn’t
want to disturb you.“
Nigel’s words made Luna’s heart stutter fiercely. Her eyes were wet as she wanted to say something
but could not find her words.
She hugged Nigel in her arms tightly. Her heart and eyes were equally warm.
“The doctors told me that you woke up already. Aunt Anne said that you’ll visit me, so she told me to
wait.“
Nigel reached his hand out and gently patted Luna’s bony back.
“But I don’t want to wait so long. Mommy, I missed Luna could no longer control her emotions upon
Nigel’s words. She hugged Nigel and sobbed out loud.
“Nigel, is your mother useless? I can’t save you, and I can’t protect Neil nor take good care of Nellie. I
even killed your future brother or sister. I’m the most useless mother in this world; I don’t deserve to be
your mother. I’m not worthy to stand…“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNigel hugged Luna. His eyes were filled with tears, but he forced himself to not let his tears all.
“Mommy, don’t think nonsense. I’ll live well, and Nellie will get better, too. Also…“
Nigel took a deep breath and gently patted Luna on the back. “Neil and I are identical twins from the
same egg. His thoughts and I are synced. He isn’t dead. He must be in some corner of the world,
waiting for you to find him. So, Mommy, don’t be sad. Get well soon, please?“
Luna sniffled. She did not know if Nigel was telling the truth or comforting her.
However, she still hugged Nigel tightly. “I believe you. I believe that Neil is still alive.“
“Then, get well soon.“ Neil tried to force a smile and gently drew circles on Luna’s back.
“Mommy, get well soon. Perhaps, I could be cured. By then, when I’m cured, I could go and search for
Neil with you and take care of Nellie. What do you say?“
Luna’s tears fell. “Of course! That’s great! I promise you! “
The mother-and-son pair hugged each other tightly by the entrance.
At the elevator in the corridor in the distance, Joshua heard the conversation between mother and son,
then he slowly turned his head over.
Luke patted Joshua on his shoulder.
“Since your eldest son has already said so, do you want to send men over to search?”
