Chapter 21
Luna quickly flipped Nellie over and raised her chin.
Her daughter's face was so pale that not a trace of life was left in her cheeks. Her eyes were closed tightly as if asleep.
Following Luna's movements, the little girl's hand dropped beside her weakly...
"Nellie? Nellie!"
Inexplicable fear shrouded Luna's mind as she held the little girl like a crazed woman. "Nellie, wake up! We're about to be saved! Nellie- "
"What happened to Nellie? "A large hand grabbed onto the outer wall of the car just when Luna was about to collapse.
A sweaty Joshua grabbed the handrail and swung himself into the car.
He was so tired that his forehead was drenched with sweat, but he pulled Nellie into his arms immediately, his low voice full of worry as he questioned, "What's wrong with her?" Luna raised her head and looked at him; sadness and anger surged in her chest.
"You ask me what's wrong with her?" A bloodthirsty smile spread across her face. "If you hadn't insisted that Nellie bond with Aura, would Nellie be like this?
The woman squinted and pulled Nellie away from his arms. "If Nellie dies today, don't you even think of surviving!"
Falling from such a high altitude, they would be picking up pieces of his body scattered all over the amusement park!
With that, she stared daggers at Joshua's eyes and paced toward him, step by step.
Just after climbing a height of nearly loo meters, Joshua wearily grasped the railing with one hand and frowned fiercely. "What are you doing?"
"I want you to be buried with Nellie, to die with her!" Luna's expression was full of hatred.
Six years ago, he and Aura conspired to kill her and the children in her belly. Six years later, he indulged in Aura's evil efforts to kill Nellie again! The Ferris wheel broke down when she and Nellie were at the top, and it was no accident-it was all Aura's plan!
What's the use of him climbing up to them?
"What nonsense are you talking about?! " Joshua realized that she was emotionally unstable, and he lowered his voice. "How could Nellie die?"
"Why not?" every word seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth. "Nellie was born weak and timid. At such a high altitude, and with the car tilted, can a physically exhausted and frightened six-year-old child like her bear it?"
He blinked. Subconsciously, he glanced at the pale little girl behind Luna's body, laying there with her eyes closed.
The man's heart sank into the pit of his stomach.
"No," he muttered to Luna, though convincing himself altogether. "She just fainted."
"It's too late." Tears slipped from her eyes unconsciously. Luna raised her head and stared at Joshua with hatred in her eyes.
In his exhausted state, he was no match for her. It would be all over once she pushed him off.
She walked up to him and pushed him as hard she could toward the door-
"Auntie..." a girl's weak voice rang behind Luna just as her hand pushed against him. "You...stop it..."
Luna stopped and turned her head in surprise. She took Nellie's small frame into her arms. "Nellie!
How are you?"
"I don't feel so good..." Nellie grabbed Luna's arm and shook her head silently at her. The little girl lowered her voice and whispered in Luna's ear, " Nigel needs our help." "I know."
Luna hugged her tightly into her arms as tears streamed down her face without relief. "I was wrong; I made a mistake. You're alright..."
In her excitement, Luna completely forgot that there was still a panting Joshua in the car.
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Luna holding Nellie, his gaze shrewd and deep.
If he did not know that Nellie was Luna Gibson's daughter, he would even think that this Luna in front of him was Nellie's biological mother.
Her worry and concern for Nellie were pure and sincere with no other mixed intentions or emotions.
In the main control room of the amusement park.
From the necklace on Neil's chest came Nigel's long sigh of relief. "Neil, do whatever I say. There is a joystick on your right. Do you see it?" "Yeah."
Neil took a deep breath and touched the joystick. He just started controlling it when the door to the master control room was suddenly kicked open. "What are you doing?!"
Lucas rushed up to him, grabbed Neil's collar, and picked him up. "No wonder the Ferris wheel malfunctioned-you're the one behind it all! People could die, you know?!"
The enraged Lucas threw Neil onto the sofa beside them. He stepped forward and violently pulled back the joystick from the position where Neil had placed it Suddenly, the car of the Ferris wheel tilted to the side again.
Standing at the door, Joshua slipped and fell out of the door into thin air!
