Chapter 176

Luna stood outside the pharmacy and looked through the glass door at Neil as she sighed helplessly. It
was difficult at times for her to believe that her three angels—Nigel, Neil, and Nellie—were Joshua’s
children. That man did not deserve to have such obedient children.

“Mommy.“ Luna had spaced out, and by the time she snapped out of her daze, Neil had gotten out of the
pharmacy with a tube of medicinal ointment at hand.

He grabbed hold of Luna’s hand. “Let’s go home. I ‘ll help you apply the medicine! “ He stayed silent for a
moment before he lifted his head to look at her. “ Don’t be too bothered about that scumbag. We can still
achieve what we want even without him! “

Luna sighed and clutched his hand tightly. “I believe you.“

As long as her children were with her, she believed she could overcome every obstacle that came her
way.

Perhaps it was a tiring day that as soon as she got home and applied the ointment onto her wound, Luna
immediately laid down on her bed and fell into a deep slumber.

The moon shone brightly in the night sky.

After making sure that Luna was indeed asleep, Neil climbed out of bed gently. Then, with the help of the

phone’s flashlight, he carefully opened Luna’s bandage.

He smeared another layer of ointment onto her scalded skin. He knew there was a lot on his mother’s
mind because of what had happened, and she was probably distracted. He was afraid that she had not
applied the proper amount and that her wound would take ages to heal, so he got up and applied it for
her.



As he was doing so, Neil silently promised he would make that scumbag pay for what he had done to his
mother.

“Joshua…“ Luna murmured in her sleep just as Neil had almost finished treating her wound. Her voice
was slurred, but Neil could still make out what she was saying.

“Joshua, why did you leave me… Why are you treating me like this…“

Neil’s heart sank at her murmurs, and he could not understand why Joshua had left his mother. Was
Aura such a good person to the extent that Joshua was willing to give up Luna because of her?

After a moment, Neil let out a sigh and said earnestly, “I’m sorry, Mommy.“

It probably would have been so much easier for Luna to forget about that scumbag if she had not
brought his children into this world. Instead, however, the three of them were like signposts that
constantly reminded her of her past, of how much she used to love Joshua, and reminded her of the pain
that man inflicted upon her.

“Nigel, I want to track Aura down.” Neil finished what he was doing and went out onto the balcony to call
Nigel.

The pale moonlight illuminated Neil’s troubled expression. “I want to…find out what they did in the past.”

On the other end of the line, Nigel remained silent. Then, after a moment, he said, “I thought Mommy
didn’t want us to dwell on the past.”

Neil gripped the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. “She doesn’t want to dwell on the past,
but I do. Mommy used to not have anyone to rely on, and that’s why Joshua and Aura betrayed her, but
she has us now. I want to make them pay for what they’ve done.”

“The reason Mommy returned this time is also because she wants to take revenge.”



“No.” Neil let out a sigh. “I don’t want revenge. All I want is for them to admit their mistake.”
