Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1282
“Don’t worry, Joshua. They’ll be fine…“
As soon as the elevator doors slid open, Aura’s gentle voice floated out from inside.
Bonnie immediately furrowed her brows and lifted her head.
What rotten luck. The two people standing inside the elevator were none other than Aura and Joshua!
Their hands were intertwined, looking as happy as a newly married couple.
Aura could feel Bonnie’s furious gaze on her, so she frowned and lifted her head to glance in the direction of the elevator doors.
The sight before her rendered her speechless.
Even though Nigel and Nellie looked unkempt…they were perfectly fine, without a single scratch on them apart from Nigel’s nosebleed and Nellie’s tear stains!
Aura’s heart leaped into her throat, and her expression darkened.
How could this be? She had instructed Michael to cut the brake cables in the backup car.
At that time, after Michael did as she asked, he even sent her a photo of it triumphantly, which was why Aura was certain that this backup car’s brakes would not work.
On top of that, there was a very steep downhill road on the way from Lynch Mansion to the hospital.
Because of the speed restrictions, the driver had to step on the gas while going down this slope.
Without brakes, everyone in the car would surely die going downhill at such a tremendous speed. Even if they somehow managed to survive, they would suffer terrible injuries!
Still…the two children were perfectly fine! How could this have happened?
Nigel could tell that Aura was surprised by this, so he smiled and said, “What’s wrong, Aunty Aura? Why are you staring at Nellie and me like this? We’re not ghosts; we’re still alive.“
Nellie, too, pursed her lips and shot Aura a murderous glare. “You’re disappointed, aren’t you?
Well, too bad Nigel and I are like cats with nine lives! “
The color drained from Aura’s face as soon as she heard this.
Joshua, too, furrowed his brows. Then, he released his grip on Aura and crouched down to look at Nigel and Nellie. “Why are you talking to Aunty Aura like this? She’s just startled by how unkempt you look right now.“
With that, he reached out a hand to stroke Nellie’s hair, which had been blown in all directions by the wind. “Look at how messy your hair is after sitting in Aunty Bonnie’s convertible. Why didn’t you tidy yourself up a little?“
Bonnie shot Aura a disdainful look, then glanced at Joshua, who was kneeling in front of Nellie. She immediately dragged Nellie behind her and snapped,
“What right do you have to accuse the children of not tidying themselves up? They almost died just now! Do you still care about their hair, knowing that?“
Joshua immediately furrowed his brows upon hearing this. Then, he shot Bonnie a look of displeasure and asked, “What do you mean?“
“What do I mean, you ask? “ Bonnie sneered, then took out her phone to show Joshua the photo of the cut brake cables. “This is the backup car at Lynch Mansion! Nigel and Nellie wanted to come to the hospital, but the usual car was already here, so they came to the hospital in the backup car instead. They nearly died on their way here!
“If it weren’t for Nigel’s quick wit, you’d be looking at two dead bodies right now! “
Joshua frowned when he saw the photo of the cut brake cables. “Who did this?“
As soon as he finished his sentence, Nigel raised his hand while staring at Aura’s face at the same time. “I know who did this.“
