Chapter 435

Luna lay unconscious in the hotel until 3 a.m. in the afternoon.

She got a call from Neil at 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

The little guy’s voice drifted in from the other end of the phone. He sounded fairly excited. “Mommy, how
far away are you? Nellie and I really miss you! “

Hearing her son’s voice, Luna’s heart softened and melted.

She held onto her phone for a few seconds in silence, then finally lowered her voice and answered, “
Mommy… can’t come back today. I’m still in Sea City.“

On the other end of the phone, the little guy paused, then his voice turned calm in an instant. “Is there a
problem?“

“One of Mommy’s friends was involved in an accident.“

The little guy on the other end of the phone was very understanding.

He pursed his lips. “I understand. I’ll explain the situation to Nellie properly, she’ll understand and won’t
get angry at you or make a fuss about it. You can stay there and take care of your friend, just tell me
when you’ll be back and Nellie and I will be ready to welcome you home. If there’s anything you need the
three of us to help you with, just let us know.

We’ll always be your strongest and unwavering backup.“

At her son’s words, she couldn’t hold in her tears any further and started crying.

Since she found out about the incident with Gwen, she had been filled with guilt and self-blame.

Most of the people around her blamed her for it.



Even Joshua said directly to her face that it was her fault such a chilling incident happened to Gwen.

When she faced problems and difficulties, her children were the only ones who cared about her as a
person, and not about the issue at hand.

Finally, once her tears started flowing, the dam holding back her tears broke and they poured out of her
in gushes.

Luna held onto her phone with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, forcing herself to keep
her sobs silent.

Neil listened to her quietly on his end of the phone.

A long while later, when Luna cried so much she felt slightly dizzy, Neil sighed quietly, “Mommy. Pour
yourself a cup of water.“

Luna sniffed, got up from the bed and poured herself a glass of water.

With a glass of water in her belly, she finally calmed down a little, her emotions stabilizing.

The woman sucked in a deep breath and wiped the remaining tears off her face. “I’ve embarrassed
myself in front of you.“

Neil laughed, “You’re my Mommy, however embarrassing you are, you don’t have to worry about
embarrassing yourself in front of me. After all, you’ve even seen me naked! “

Luna laughed through her tears at his words.

A moment later, she finally sucked in a deep breath again. “Don’t tell your brother and sister about this. I
might be able to go back to Banyan City tomorrow.“

Neil was silent for a while. “Then what about your friend… you don’t plan to resolve the issue?“



Luna frowned and smiled bitterly. “Joshua doesn’t allow me to continue staying here in Sea City. And
he’s right. Even if I stay, I can’t do much except remind my friend of her traumatic memories.“

On the other end of the phone, Neil was silent for a moment.

“So… your friend’s ‘accident’ was related to you, Mommy?“

“She was hurt because of me.“ Luna closed her eyes. “I need to go now. Take good care of your sister
and wait for me to come home.“

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something. “ Right, Nigel and Malcolm Quinn’s plan… has it come
to a stop?“

“Yeah, they stopped it.“

Neil paused. “Nigel said he suddenly lost your signal last night, so he attacked and hacked into Sea
City’s surveillance system, then he finally found you. He said he saw something that made him feel
Joshua deserves to be forgiven. So he convinced Uncle Malcolm and stopped their attack on the Lynch
Group.”

Neil’s words made Luna’s chest fall into the pit of her stomach.

Last night Nigel attacked and hacked into Sea City’s surveillance system and found her…

Did that mean he actually saw a part of what happened to her last night?
