Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1201
“If you have the confidence that Nellie and Nigel won't get hurt if they tag along, of course, I 'm fine with it.“ Luna smiled.
She gently ruffled Neil's head. Her tone was gentle. “ You're willing to get close to them, I'm quite happy about it, actually.“
Luna sighed and threw the tissue papers and cotton buds used to clean Neil's wound into the bin. Then, she kept the first aid kit before turning and leaving.
Neil lay in bed looking at Luna leaving. He pursed his lips tightly. If Nigel and Nellie were to follow along the next day, he would definitely protect them with all his life.
This was Joshua, Luna, Nigel, and Nellie placing their trust in him. One could never be a person without credibility and limits.
However...
Neil closed his eyes. He could not imagine if the truth was like what his mother had said, none of the children belonged to Luna.
When the children leave her, she would feel extremely terrible, right?
The next morning.
During breakfast, Neil once again suggested he go look for Aura to get her hair and fingernails DNA samples, Joshua did not object.
Not only did he not object to it, but he also got Lucas to send a team of bodyguards to follow them.
Luna was quite happy to see the children getting along well with each other.
Although they were going to get something from Aura, which was a dangerous thing to do, Luna was willing to believe in Neil and Joshua's team of bodyguards.
After breakfast, Neil took Nigel and Nellie along and left.
“Let's go play! “ Nellie was in a little dress. She happily followed behind Neil. Her face was filled with excitement. “I haven't been out to play in such a long time! “
Looking at how she was prancing around like a chirpy bird, Nigel sighed and went with them.
When he was at the entrance, Nigel turned to look at Joshua. Joshua smiled tenderly at him. Nigel nodded before turning around and closing the door.
Sitting on the sofa, Luna heard the sounds of the cars starting outside. She frowned hard. “I thought you would have objected to it.“
She was indeed hoping Neil would get along with Nigel and Nellie, but she still thought that going to Aura to get her DNA sample was too risky for three kids.
Joshua calmly picked up his laptop, looking at the red dot slowly moving on the map, he smiled.
“It's a good chance to train the children. Why should I give this chance up? Also, we might have an unexpected gain from this.“
Luna looked at him. “What unexpected gain?“
Joshua hesitated for a while before laughing. “That is, Neil's trust in us.“
Luna still did not quite understand. Joshua calmly explained, “Neil is an understanding child. Naturally, he knows that we would worry about Nigel and Nellie encountering danger if they followed him. But, none of us objected to it, we trusted him fully.“
Luna paused for a while. “So, because of our trust in him, he would trust us too?“
Joshua smiled but said nothing. That was not the case at all.
Neil's excuse was too unconvincing and lame. To bring the kids together to collect DNA samples as an excuse was quite far-fetched.
However, it might be possible that for a six—year— old, that was the best excuse he could come up with in such a short time for being asked to take Nigel and Nellie along.
Joshua knew that Neil did this because Aura had demanded this from him. Just like the last time when Neil was at the beach, hesitating to stab him with the knife.
Joshua knew that Neil's character had not changed. Neil was still his and Luna's mature and understanding, gentle and kind-hearted child.
Aura seemed to have something in her hands that could be used to threaten Neil, forcing him to obey her.
Therefore, the night before, Joshua and Nigel had a chat in the study for a very long time. In the end, they decided to let Nigel and Nellie take the risk.
Joshua wanted Neil to completely escape from the clutches of Aura, not letting her threaten and use him anymore.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1202
The car drove for a very long time. In the back seat, Nellie shifted from bored to death from her initial excitement.
She pressed her head onto the window and looked at the scenery out of the window. A huge question popped up in her head.
Nellie turned to look at Neil. “Didn't you say we were going to the hotel?“
Why was the car heading to a more secluded place, it was even reaching the outskirts of Banyan City?
Neil looked at the address on his phone. He pursed his lips. “We'll be there soon.“
The address that Aura gave was a very secluded place. Neil had also once suspected the address, but Aura said that the DNA Diagnostic Center was huge, they had to be built in places like the outskirts. After
all, it took up a huge space and the city was not cheap.
Neil was convinced and no longer had any doubts about the address.
However, the car headed further into barren land. Where was the huge DNA Diagnostic Center?
Nellie looked at Neil a little anxiously. “Jake, did you take us to the wrong place?“
Neil bit his lips hard and looked at the huge building in front.
“It's not wrong.“
Perhaps...the building in front is the DNA Diagnostic Center.
“The building in front is a factory that had been abandoned for many years.“ Nigel looked at the information on his tablet with a lowered head and said flatly, “Jake, does Aura, the one you call mother, stay in an abandoned factory?“
Something instantly exploded in Neil's mind. The building in front was an abandoned factory?! Did they not agree they were going to the DNA Diagnostic Center? Did they not agree to get Nigel and Nellie to draw blood, to make sure that they were born from the same mother? Why were they brought to an abandoned factory?
Aura cried on the phone the day before, telling Neil how he had to bring Nigel and Nellie over because she missed her children too much.
Was that all fake?
Neil bit his lips tightly. He gripped his phone tightly in his hands. He sent a message to Aura.
(Mother, we're almost there, but why is it the wrong address? There's no huge lab at the address you gave.
Soon, Aura replied.
(Don't ask so many questions. Just bring them to where I asked you to. Who are you to question me?]
Looking at the reply on his phone, Neil was completely bewildered.
Thus...his mother had lied to him, making him think that he was bringing them to do a DNA test. Turns out, he was kidnapping Nigel and Nellie!
Since his mother had already planned the kidnap early on, she must have known that Nigel and Nellie were not her children!
Neil bit his lips hard. Suddenly, the scene where Luna was smiling and agreeing to him taking Nigel and Nellie along appeared in his mind. Also, the scene where Joshua happily agreed when they were at the dining table a moment ago.
Neil held his phone tightly.
That family trusted him so much. He also thought that after the DNA test and knowing the truth, he would be able to bring them home.
However, at that moment...
Neil gritted his teeth hard, lifted his head, and looked at the driver.
“Stop the car!"
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1203
“I'm telling you to stop the car! “ Neil yelled at the driver manically.
However, the driver seemed to not have heard him. Not only did he not stop the car, but he also increased the speed.
Neil bit his lips and slammed on the car door. He glared at the driver. “You are my driver! Why are you not listening to me! “
The driver laughed, “Do you think I'm Theo Allen, that I would listen to whatever you said? Young Master, don't think too highly of yourself. We're Lady Aura's men. We only listen to her! “
Then, he slammed the gas. Soon, the car arrived right at the entrance of the abandoned factory.
Nellie's eyes widened. She looked at the car outside in shock. In the end, she turned around and looked at Neil.
“Nigel...Jake, you lied to us! “
Did he not say that they were going to the hotel where Aura was to gather her DNA samples? Why were they there at a deserted place?
There was nothing around except the abandoned factory in front of them. How could Aura possibly be staying there?
Facing Nellie's confused gaze, Neil felt his face burning, like he had been slapped on the face a few times. It was hot and painful.
Nigel finally put down the laptop in his hands. He calmly looked at Neil. “Is this the hotel you speak of?“
Nigel narrowed his eyes and said, “Are you lying to us, or is the person you call mother lying to you?“
Neil gritted his teeth hard. He was speechless. If there was a hole in the ground, he would not hesitate to burrow himself in it.
How could his mother lie to him! Even if his mother were to tell him that she wanted to kidnap Nigel and Nellie to threaten Joshua, he might not have disagreed with her.
Why would she lie to him! Why did she lie to him!
At that moment, the huge door of the abandoned factory was opened.
A group of men in black swarmed forward, surrounding the car. The car of bodyguards that Joshua sent to protect Nigel and Nellie had been apprehended too.
Aura, in red, elegantly walked out of the abandoned factory holding an umbrella. She calmly instructed the men in black.
“Tie those two brats up! “
“Yes! “ The men immediately opened the door and roughly dragged Nellie and Nigel out of the car, tying them up with a rope.
Nigel and Nellie were tied and escorted into the abandoned factory.
Neil, who was witnessing all this, felt extremely bad like someone had driven a knife into his heart.
In the end, he slowly got out of the car. He looked at Aura confusedly. “Mother, how could you...how could you lie to me?"
His clear eyes were filled with hurt.
“I'm your son. Why did you lie to me as well?" Aura frowned. “So what if I lied to you?"
Neil lifted his head. His heart was filled with rage and disappointment. “I promised Joshua and Luna that I will bring them back safely. You told me that it was only a DNA test to prove whether they had the same set of parents as me. You lied to me, how am I going..."
Slap!
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1204
Neil had barely finished speaking when Aura slapped him violently on the face.
“What? You've only been with Joshua for a day and you've already been led astray by them? Who the hell do you think you are? Why should I tell you my plans? You only have to remember that I am your mother! You will do what I tell you to do! Stop asking so many stupid questions! “
Then, Aura turned around and headed into the abandoned factory without looking back.
“Get yourself in here! “
Neil stood in the same spot clutching his red and swollen face. He looked at Aura unconcerned for him. The scene where Luna was cleaning his wounds and slapping his butt inexplicably arose in his mind.
If...If only she was his mother. How great would that be?
Nigel and Nellie's signal had been cut off.
Luna, who had been following the signal in the car, looked at the spot where the red dots vanished on the screen rather anxiously. “Why was the signal suddenly cut off?“
Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen. “It did not look like the signal was blocked or cut off. Nigel was the one who cut it off himself.“
Luna furrowed her brows. “Why would he do that?“
Joshua looked in front coldly. ”It should be because he wanted to conserve power. Because the communication device he brought had exceptionally strong signals, it used up a lot of power too. Even if I had already installed the best battery, it could only last for a few hours.
”There could be two reasons why Nigel turned off the communication device to conserve power at this moment. One is because he thinks we can locate him, but we only need time, maybe a very long time, so he turned off the power on the communication device.
”The other would be... ” Joshua's tone turned low. ”He and Nellie were brought to a place where the signal would be weak and hard to transmit out. Nigel plans to use the maximum power to send the signal in the most crucial moments, that's why he turned it off. ”
Then, Joshua turned to look at Lucas, who was
typing away on the computer. ”Have you located it?”
”Yes! ” Lucas took a deep breath. ”The last place Nigel went missing is an abandoned factory in the outskirts. It's an abandoned factory left by the Larson Group in Banyan City twenty years ago.
”Later on, because the Larson Group had been going up against the Lynch Group playing dirty, Granny Lynch swiftly chased them out of Banyan City.
”After they left Banyan City, they even went to Sea City for a period. They gave birth to a daughter in Banyan City...before expanding their business abroad. The Larson Group had always been the one sponsoring Aura. Those men that had been called Aura Lady Aura were also people from the Larson Group.“
Luna could not help but furrowed her brows at Lucas' words.
She thought back about what Aura said to her before, about how she was the wrong baby Joseph Gibson picked up, and how she was an heiress of a wealthy family.
Turns out, she had already found her own family. No wonder she had such powers at that moment.
“I have no concern for the Larson Group.“
Joshua looked at the abandoned factory they were approaching in front indifferently. “This factory had been abandoned for a very long time, could you still get any information out of it? Is there an underground basement or something like that, a place where it is hard to transmit a signal?“
“There is.“ Lucas opened the information on the abandoned factory and said in a low voice, “The abandoned factory has a huge underground warehouse. There is only one way into the warehouse. There is also...“
Lucas lifted his head. “There is also a huge sewer hole there.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Head to the sewer hole, try to find a way in. Nigel and Nellie must have been brought to the underground warehouse.“
Then, he turned to look at Luna. “Your Theo should be there too.“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1205
The nerve on Luna's forehead throbbed fiercely!
She turned to look at Joshua. “What do you mean by that?“
Joshua calmly looked out of the car window. His voice was low but it had no whatsoever emotions.
“The fact that you could be threatened by Aura and be let by the nose, besides Neil, the other reason was Theo.
“Neil is still alright. He is Aura's bargaining chip to be used against me, so it's easy for us to see Neil and get him to stay by my side.
“But Theo is different. Besides you meeting him by the beach on that day, Theo has never shown his face once.
“Theo is Aura's hidden ace card. Not only could she use him to threaten you, but she could also even threaten Neil when needed.“
Then, Joshua turned to look at Luna. “Aura does not have many places in Banyan City. The abandoned factory here today is the only one. According to my understanding of her, if she were to kidnap Nigel
and Nellie, she would most likely tie them up and lock them up in the same place as Theo.“
Luna was stunned. At that moment only then did she realize what Joshua meant. She bit her lips and glared at Joshua rather angrily.
“You long knew that this incident today is a set up,
right? You deliberately agreed to Neil this morning because of this? So, for you to locate Theo, you were going to risk Nellie and Nigel's life?“
Of course, it was important to find Theo, but did that mean that Nigel and Nellie were not important?
Getting the two six-year-old children in danger. Was this Joshua's plan?
Perhaps he had long predicted Luna's reaction, Joshua sighed and said, “This is Nigel's plan.“
Luna was stunned. “Nigel's plan?“
“Yes.“
Joshua rubbed his aching temple and said calmly, “ Last night, Nigel and I were discussing in the study room for a very long time. Nigel was determined to take the risk, to take Nellie along to Aura's headquarters to find Theo. I was initially reluctant but Nigel said...“
Joshua closed his eyes, the scene where Nigel was standing in the middle of the study room with a stubborn look the night before appeared in Joshua's mind.
“I will try my best to protect Nellie and myself. Mr. Lynch, you have been in the business for so many years. You should know the concept of high risks and high rewards. If you don't let Nellie and I go this time, how long do you think it would take for us to find Theo?
“The last time, because of Theo, Mommy agreed to absurd demands like getting engaged to Michael Lynch! If we don't quickly find Theo, the next time would be Mommy being forced to marry Michael!
Are you willing to let that happen?
“I am yours and Mommy's child. I am willing to take Nellie along to risk it so that Mommy doesn't have to suffer so much in the future. Also, I have to get to the bottom of this. I want Neil to understand how untrustworthy Aura is as a person.“
At that thought, Joshua sighed, “Although Joshua is only six years old, he has his own opinions. I'm sure you're clearer than me about his stubbornness in doing the things he wants to do.“
Luna was stunned by Joshua's words. At that moment, she did not know what to say.
It was true. If Nigel wanted to do something, no one could stop him. Just like when they were abroad, when Nigel knew his sickness was incurable, he decided to take his life to lighten her burden.
Nigel's defiance and stubbornness terrified not only her but even the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Everyone took turns persuading him, counseling him, and looking after him every single day, yet to no avail.
In the end, it was Luna taking his siblings along, crying in front of him for half a day, only then did he finally decide to properly live and survive for his family.
If entering the enemy's camp that day was Nigel's idea...
Joshua might not be able to properly persuade him otherwise.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1206
At that thought, Luna took a deep breath and looked at Joshua's angular face.
“Since you agreed to let Nigel and Nellie get kidnapped by Aura, you have to guarantee that they are safe. If not...“
Luna glared at him. “I will hate you for the rest of my life.“
Joshua smiled. “If something were to happen to them today, I would hate myself for the rest of my life too.“
“Sir. “ Seeing how their conversation was finally at an end, Lucas said in a suppressed tone, “We have reached near the sewer hole.“
Joshua and Lune turned to look at the same time. In front of them was indeed a huge sewer hole.
Although it was huge, it could not fit an adult walking straight up.
A few bodyguards had got out of the car and entered the sewer with a bent body.
Joshua was silent for a while. He unbuckled his seat belt while instructing Luna.
“You wait for us here. I have the same communication device as Nigel, but our communication device can't connect directly. We need you to stay outside to keep watch. You stay in the car and watch over the receiving terminal of the communication device. I will leave a team of bodyguards here to protect you.“
Then, Joshua immediately got out of the car before Luna could even say anything.
Lucas noticed and immediately followed suit.
“Lucas! “ Seeing how Joshua had already entered the sewer hold, Luna bit her lips and grabbed Lucas'
arm. “Joshua...his injuries have not healed completely. You have to take good care of him.“
Lucas was silent for a while before nodding. “I will.“ Then, Lucas immediately chased after and held Joshua's arm.
Luna sat in the car. After seeing the group of men entering, she lowered her head and looked at the computer screen in front of her.
It was silent.
There was no news from Joshua nor news from Nigel.
The computer screen was still showing the map of the underground warehouse in the abandoned factory that Lucas found previously.
Luna bit her lips.
The warehouse was so huge. How long would they take to look for Nigel and Theo? She almost wanted to head in herself to look.
However, Luna understood clearly. She did not have a good body. Following them would only cause them more trouble.
Luna clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed non-stop.
At that moment, a static signal came from the computer. Luna immediately opened her eyes and looked at the screen. The signal was coming from Nigel's communication device.
Soon, the static signal ended, what came next was Nigel's anxious voice.
“Daddy, Mommy. I know where Uncle Theo is being locked up. He is in the small room on the most eastern side of the warehouse. Go and rescue him, quick! “
Luna was instantly stunned. She immediately said, “ Okay, okay, okay. I got it. What about you all? Where are you all?“
“We are fine. Neil is leading us out to escape. Mommy, reinforcements are coming from behind. I can't chat with you for too long. I'll shut it off first! “
The moment Nigel finished his sentence a loud sound as if something heavy fell rang out from Nigel's end.
Then, it was silent. The signal was cut.
Luna's heart instantly sank. She contacted Joshua with trembling hands, telling them where Theo was. Her mind kept replaying the sound before the signal was cut.
Would Nigel and the rest be fine?
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1207
The air in the underground warehouse was foul. There was dust everywhere and it smelt like mold.
Because there was no source of light, it was dark everywhere.
Using his exceptional night vision, Neil held onto Nellie's hand and quickly headed for the light.
Behind him, Nigel was holding onto Nellie's other hand, following closely.
Behind them were the sounds of footsteps and people searching for them with a torchlight.
“Quick, over here! We have to find them quickly! How dare they hurt Lady Aura and escape with the other two brats! Jake Landry, you're dead meat! “
“Lady Aura is your family. Why would you betray her for the two kids that you barely know?“
“Do you know what is the consequence of betraying Lady Aura?“
“Jake Landry, I know you can hear us! Quickly bring both of them back! She might still let you live! “
Hearing the commotions behind her, Nellie's heart was about to pop out! She and Nigel were kidnapped by Aura's men a moment ago. After kidnapping them, Aura got her men to send her and Nigel to a small room.
There was a dirty man covered in blood being tied to
the pole in the small room. When he heard their voices, the man lifted his head.
It was Uncle Theo! The Uncle Theo that went missing together with Neil! Nellie had never seen Theo in such a dirty, miserable, and disheveled state.
The moment Theo lifted his head and saw that it was both of them, he was shocked. Then, he smiled helplessly. He said in a hoarse voice, “Looks like Luna has more on her plate now. I hope she can cope.“
Nellie thought that she and Nigel would be locked up there. She did not expect that she would only enter for a while when Aura heard that a few cars were coming over and stopping at the entrance of the abandoned factory at that moment.
Aura hesitated for a while before getting her men to take Nellie and Nigel away from Theo's room. She said that she was afraid others would be able to find her three aces at the same time.
Just when Aura was about to lock them up in a different room, just when she was talking to them harshly, Neil retrieved the knife that he had kept hidden on him all along and stabbed Aura.
Then, when Aura was in so much pain she could not talk, Neil immediately cut off the rope that was tying Nellie and Nigel. He then led them along and escaped.
They ran for a very long time.
Nellie looked at the back of Neil's head. A warm feeling inexplicably arose in her heart. She always thought that Neil must have been led astray by Aura, kidnapping her and Nigel.
However, she did not expect that Neil would betray Aura at the very crucial moment, leaving with them.
“Jake.“ Nellie bit her lips. She said in a suppressed tone, “Follow us back home, please? You've already hurt Aura. She will not let you go that easily.“
Neil paused a little, not saying anything.
After a while, he grabbed Nellie's hand and continued onward.
“Let's get out first.“
Luna had been waiting outside in fear for a very long time.
Other than the news she received from Nigel at the beginning, she had no longer received any news.
She lifted her gaze and looked into the distance. She saw a few cars parking by the entrance of the factory. A group of men was searching for something in the factory.
Luna narrowed her eyes. She noticed with her sharp eyes that the car door of the last car was opened.
The man that got out of the car was Jude Smith.
Luna was a little stunned before realizing that this was Joshua's cover. She stared at the screen while lamenting Joshua's thoroughness.
Aura would have guessed that Joshua would send men to rescue his children. If there was no ongoing commotion above ground by the factory's entrance, Aura would definitely suspect the sewer hole.
At that moment, people were searching on the ground in the abandoned factory, Aura would not have thought that Joshua's men would enter the underground warehouse through the sewers, even rescuing them out.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1208
After a while, someone came out from the sewer hole.
Zach and Yuri were on each side of a haggard and disheveled -looking man who was covered in blood.
Luna looked at the man. Tears instantly fell from her face! The emaciated man was Theo! Joshua had led his man and found Theo!
“Ma'am.“
After Zach and Yuri placed Theo in the car, Zach sighed heavily. “When we found Theo, we bumped into Aura's men. We fought for a long time...
“Right now, Mr. Lynch and Lucas are looking for Neil and the rest. We took Theo and came out first.“ Luna bit her lips. “Is Joshua injured?“
“No.“
Theo was placed in the car. He had already passed out.
Luna cleaned Theo's face. She was heartbroken. At the same time, she cocked her head to listen for any news coming from the receiver.
After a while, two more figures fumbled and stumbled out of the sewer hole.
It was Nigel and Nellie!
Luna agitatedly rushed out of the car and hugged them in her arms.
“I'm glad you're fine! “
Theo was rescued. Nigel and Nellie were not hurt. Joshua kept his promise!
However, Nellie, who just escaped death, was unhappy. She bit her lips and looked at Luna with teary eyes. “Mommy, Neil has been...“
Nellie sobbed, “Neil has been taken away by Aura! “
Luna instantly shuddered violently. She was too worried for Nigel and Nellie that she forgot to ask why Neil did not follow them out...
She bit her lips and bent down to pick Nellie up. She comforted Nellie, also comforting herself. “It's fine. Neil is Aura's son right now. She...would not do anything to him.“
Nellie sobbed harder upon hearing what Luna said, “ But Neil hurt Aura with a knife while trying to rescue us. Now that he has been captured, they will not let him go!“
The more Nellie said, the more tears fell. “Mommy, what should we do?“
Luna bit her lips hard. She lowered her head and looked at Nigel. “Is that true?“
“Hmm.“ Nigel's expressions were serious. He sighed heavily and said, “Nigel was tricked by Aura too. He never thought that Aura got him to bring us out because she wanted to kidnap us, so...he betrayed Aura and let us go.“
Luna's heart sank violently upon Nigel's words. If things were like what Nigel and Nellie said...
Then, after Aura has captured Neil, she would definitely bully him and teach him a lesson!
At the thought that Neil might be in trouble, Luna's heart hurt as if she was stabbed. She wanted to rush in to bear the pain on behalf of Neil!
“By the way, Mommy, why are you alone? " Nellie lifted her head. “Where is Daddy?"
Luna paused for a while. She turned back to look at the huge underground warehouse through the sewer hole. “He..."
Rumble!
Before Luna could finish her sentence, a loud exploding sound rang though coming from the underground warehouse.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1209
With the loud explosion, the entire underground warehouse started to shake. Dust and debris were even falling from the sewer hole above Luna.
Luna barely gave it any thought. She immediately carried Nellie and pulled Nigel along away from the sewer hole.
They went back to stand by the car. After gaining their footing for a very long time later, the exploding sounds and quakes coming from the underground warehouse finally stopped.
The explosion was intense. Even Jude's men in the distance fell to the ground from the violent quakes. Even the buildings above ground fell to ruins.
Luna looked at thick smoke coming out from the sewer hole in the distance. Her heart was in suspense.
Neil and Joshua were still inside!
Looking at Luna's agitated face, Nigel furrowed his brows and comforted her, “Don't worry about Neil. Neil will be fine. The explosion must have been done by Aura's men. Before the explosion, she must have relocated to a safer place.
“Although she's angry that Neil betrayed her, she would not do anything to Neil, because without Neil she would not have her final bargaining chip! Don't worry, Neil won't be in danger.“
Then, Nigel took a deep breath. “Where's Daddy?“ Luna closed her eyes. Her voice was trembling. “He and Lucas...are still inside.“
Nigel and Nellie were instantly stunned. After a moment, Nellie's tears started falling.
“What should we do...
“The explosion was so intense. How could Daddy and Uncle Lucas go through this? Daddy is still injured...“
Luna shut her eyes tight. She almost lost her balance.
Six years ago, she almost died. She knew how strong human life was. At the same time, she also knew how..fragile it was.
There were a lot of times where it was only a fine line between life and death.
Joshua's injuries only just turned for the better, yet he encountered such a huge explosion.
Would he be able to survive this...
At that moment, Luna's phone rang. It was from Jude. “Luna, Joshua is not picking up. We just encountered a huge explosion here. How is it going on your end?
“From my side, the explosion seemed to be underground. Joshua told me previously that he was going underground. Is there anyone still underground? Do you need me to get help?“
Jude's words were like a guiding light in total darkness. Luna finally had some hope.
She bit her lips hard. “I need your help... Jude, Joshua and Lucas are still underground...“
Upon hearing Joshua's name being mentioned, Jude shuddered for a while. “Okay, I 'll immediately get people to head down to look! “
From a very far distance, Luna saw Jude's men heading toward the entrance of the underground warehouse.
After a while, more professional help appeared. Luna got Zach and Yuri to send Nigel, Nellie, and
Theo back home with the car, then she walked over to where Jude and his team were.
At that moment, someone from the rescue team was reporting to Jude about the situation.
“The situation down there is rather complicated. The warehouse is quite huge, after that huge explosion, many passages have been blocked. Several other load
-bearing walls were also damaged. If we don't deal with it properly, the entire warehouse might fall in Jude rubbed the middle of his brows. Listening to the person reporting, Jude was a little short-tempered.
“Don't tell me all this. Just tell me if you could rescue the people out! “
“We should be able to.“ The person from the rescue team sighed, “It's only...“
He looked at Jude. “You're hoping that the people trapped below will be rescued alive?“
Jude glared at him coldly. “If not?“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1210
The man from the rescue team sighed, “Then, I need more men. I suggest you get all of the rescue team in Banyan City over. Then, find a few more experts in geology and architecture. We have to discuss how we are going to rescue the people trapped below.“
Then, he added, “Of course, what I mean is to rescue the people who are still alive. Those that have died during the explosion, we can't do anything about it.“
Jude was even infuriated at how calm he looked. “If Joshua Lynch is dead, I 'll make sure that all of you die together with him! Leave! “
Looking at Jude, who always used to be playful, calm, and mature, suddenly became so anxious and short- tempered, Luna clenched her fists tightly by her sides.
She took a deep breath. “Jude.“
Upon hearing a woman's voice, Jude furrowed his brows. He turned around and noticed that it was Luna. He immediately showed a cheery expression.
“Don't worry! I've already gotten the entire city's rescue team. I even found geologists and architects. We will be able to rescue Joshua out in the shortest time possible! “
Luna bit her lips. Looking at the rescue team in discussion in the distance, she had a complex feeling.
“Hey, hey, don't look at them.“ Jude furrowed his brows and blocked Luna's sight. “You can't do anything to help here. I'm also worried for Joshua, but I am no professional rescue worker. I could only wait here. You'll still be waiting whether you're here or at home. Why don't you head home first?“
Luna shook her head stubbornly. She found a place to sit. “I know I can't help much, I also can't go down to look for him on my own, but I still want to wait here. At least, when Joshua comes up, I will be able to see him immediately.“
Jude could not help but sigh at Luna's words. He could no longer find the words to persuade her to leave.
Jude looked at her meaningfully. His tone was low. “ Then, you have to prepare for the worst to happen. “
Luna's tears fell upon hearing what Jude said. She sniffled her nose, “I know.“
She knew what she might have to face, but she was still filled with hope waiting for him to come up.
