Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1317
Neil’s appearance made Luna and Joshua pause.
After a moment, Luna walked over to Neil’s side and squatted in front of him. She stared at the boy in the wheelchair, whose legs were still not fully recovered yet, and said, “Are you sure you want to help us find the antidote?“
Luna knew that after all the time Neil spent with Aura, he would definitely know where Aura’s hideouts were, but according to the psychiatrist that counseled Neil previously, he had suffered too much psychological trauma from Aura.
If Neil wanted to heal from the trauma, he would have to stay away from Aura, including anything to do with her. The only way for him to leave all those traumatic memories behind would be to withdraw himself from anything related to Aura.
Only after leaving all those memories behind would Neil be able to maintain a healthy headspace and find the lost memories of his past.
Because of this, Luna had tried to steer him away during this time and not let him get involved with anything to do with Aura.
However, at a critical moment like this, he decided to step up and take this responsibility.
“Yes, I’m sure.“ Neil nodded as he stared earnestly at Luna. “Even though I’ve lost the memories of my past, Nigel and Nellie both told me that Great- Granny treated me well in the past. Besides, they’re both so fond of Great-Granny; I wouldn’t want them to be sad over her passing.“
With that, he summoned all the strength in his body and forced out a grin on his pale face. “I’ve been helping Aura cause trouble to this family for such a long time now, and it’s about time I step up and do something to help. Please let me do this, Mommy.“
A surge of warmth spread through Luna’s heart when she heard this. She let out a sigh, stood up, and told Joshua to take Neil away.
To track down Aura’s hideout would not be an easy task, so neither Luna nor Joshua was willing to let Neil follow the bodyguards on his own.
Luna was a woman and therefore did not have much physical stamina for this exhausting task. On top of that, she had recently suffered an injury, so she could not go along with Neil.
Therefore, after some discussion with Joshua, they both decided that Joshua would bring Neil with him to search for the antidote while Luna remained at the hospital with Nigel and Nellie, staying with Granny Lynch.
After arriving at this conclusion, Joshua left with Neil and Lucas.
The only people who remained in the ward were Granny Lynch, Luna, Nigel, and Nellie.
Zach and Yuri were stationed outside the room to keep an eye out on things.
“Why are you going to all this trouble for me, now that I ‘m already mentally prepared to die?“ Granny Lynch let out a sigh after listening to Luna’s explanation of what Joshua and the rest had gone to do. She did not seem to be looking at Luna at all and instead seemed to be looking at something more distant.
“To me, there’s no point living a few extra days anymore. I’ve already lived so many years now…and it’s about time I go on and see them.“
She was talking about her husband, daughter, and her beloved daughter-in-law, Rianna.
“But I want you to stay by my side for a few more days, Great-Granny.“
Granny Lynch lifted her hand to stroke Nellie’s hair. “My dear, why don’t you ask Zach and Yuri to take you and your brother out for some ice cream? I’d like some ice cream too. How does that sound?“
Nellie froze. “Why do you feel like having ice cream all of a sudden, Great-Granny?“
It was already autumn, and the weather was starting to turn cold, so why was Granny Lynch craving ice cream?
“That’s because when Great-Granny was dating your Great-Grandpa, he used to buy me ice cream all the time.“
Nellie contemplated this for a moment, then nodded earnestly. “Alright, then! Nigel and I will buy you the best ice cream we can find! “
With that, she sprinted out of the room, clutching the hem of her skirt to avoid tripping.
The door swung shut behind her, and Luna and Granny Lynch were the only two who remained in the room.
