Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 19

“Mommy! It’s so romantic!”

As she sat in the car of the Ferris wheel, Nellie knelt on a chair and gazed at the panoramic view of the entire amusement park. She clapped excitedly. “I didn’t know the amusement park was so huge!” The little girl who rode on the Ferris wheel for the first time danced around happily. “When we rise higher, others in the amusement park will become smaller than ants!” Luna sat next to her and patted her back lightly, her heart riddled with emotions. Her three children had suffered a lot with her, especially Nellie. She was well-behaved and sensible, and if she was not born in such a family, she would be a little princess that everyone doted on.

Her first visit to the amusement park would not be when she was six years old. She would not be targeted by someone like Aura. Sadness rose to Luna’s throat at those thoughts. She took a deep breath, raised her hand to hold Nellie in her arms, and buried her head in the little girl’s neck. “Mommy promises you that when this matter is over, I’ll accompany you as much as you want in the future, okay?” Nellie turned her head as her clear eyes bore into Luna’s earnestly. “Nigel’s illness will also get better, won’t it?” Luna nodded solemnly. “Yeah.” “Mommy…” Nellie stretched out her small hands and hugged Luna in excitement. When the mother-and-daughter pair hugged, the car they were in rose to the highest point of the Ferris wheel. Crack!

With a loud noise, the car of the Ferris wheel began to rumble and sway side to side. “Ah!” Nellie failed to grasp the handrail as she rolled to the floor, her small body unable to withstand the

ferocity of the tremors. Seeing her in such a state, Luna was so frightened that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She instinctively stretched out her hand and held Nellie tightly in her arms. “Don’t be scared!”

Despite holding onto the handrail with all her strength, the two of them still shook back and forth by the car, and it was only after a while that the Ferris wheel finally stopped moving. Still, the car was tilted. As the entire car was tilted on its axis, the door was below them, and the car door swayed as if it would break away at any time. If the door broke, when their strength would eventually be depleted, she would lose her grip and they would fall out of the tilted car! Nellie trembled in fear in her arms. Luna’s eyes were glazed in ice. So, this was Aura’s plan! She thought that, at most, Aura only wanted to hurt Nellie—to teach her a lesson—and get back at her. She did not expect Aura would go as far as killing her and Nellie! Luna’s heart tightened fiercely at the thought. She gritted her teeth, slipped out the sturdiest backpack strap, and fashioned it into a safety belt. She tied Nellie to the window bars while she used her clothes as a rope and tied it to her wrist. “Mommy…” her voice sounded frail as if she was on the verge of tears. “We won’t fall, would we? It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have brought you to ride the Ferris wheel… Mommy, I’m scared…!” “We’ll be fine.” Luna patted Nellie’s back gently and took out her phone with a trembling hand. No signal. She gripped her phone tightly, her fingertips blue and white from the lack of blood circulation. Once again, she underestimated Aura’s ruthlessness and Joshua’s fondness for her sister.

With a loud noise, the car door at Luna’s feet broke off and fell into the air. At a height of 100 meters, all they could see was a black shadow hurtling in the air when the door fell. “Mommy…” Nellie burst into tears, unable to hold herself back. She would have plunged down had her Mommy not tied her up! Luna took a deep breath as she tried to comfort her, but even as she organized her words, nothing came out in the end. Her mind was blank. At that moment, the crowd in the amusement park was in an uproar. “Someone is trapped up there!” “The door of the car has fallen off! The people inside won’t fall down, right?” “If they fall from such a high altitude, they’ll turn into meatloaf…” Listening to the voices of those around her, Aura changed into a more comfortable position and leaned back on the chair. She turned her head and glanced at the bodyguard next to her. “Let’s call Joshua. Just say that it was the maid, Luna, who insisted on riding the Ferris wheel with Nellie, and this accident happened.” The bodyguard hesitated, “But…” Aura rolled her eyes at him. “But what? Do you think that woman will survive? The truth will be whatever we say it is. Also, tell the amusement park staff to fake the rescue. The Ferris Wheel will be repaired after they fall and die.” “Yes, Ma’am!” After the bodyguard left, Aura fanned herself leisurely and looked in the direction of the Ferris wheel with a cold smile on her lips. ‘Luna, Luna… Did you think you could challenge me by sending a little girl like her? It was a mistake to keep the little b*stard. Now that you sent her back yourself, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!’ … “Mommy, Nellie.”

On the Ferris wheel, a boy’s calm voice drifted out of the necklace around Nellie’s neck. “Nigel?” Luna’s eyes widened. “It’s me. I modified Nellie’s necklace. The signal is strengthened so that the three of us can talk through the necklace in case of an emergency.” The voice of the little boy on the phone was very steady. “I hacked into the surveillance system of the amusement park, and I can see you now.” Far away on the other side of the ocean, the thin and pale little boy sat on the hospital bed as his eyes fixed on the computer screen divided into several frames in front of him. “Neil and I have been keeping in touch. He left for the control room the moment you had an accident. It shouldn’t take five minutes until you’re stabilized, so hold on.” Luna bit her lip and was touched. “Baby, you worked hard.” Nigel was silent for a while. “Mommy, you returned home because of me. I told you a long time ago that I don’t care if I can live for a few more years, but you insist on going back… If something happens to you…” Luna felt a pang in her chest as she listened to her son’s voice. “Don’t say that.” “Nigel…” Nellie was weak from crying. She hung limply on the window by the strap of the backpack, but her voice was very firm, “It’s all my fault, not yours, Nigel. I don’t regret coming back to help you. I just regret bringing Mommy here…” “Oh, let’s not do this right now, alright?” Neil’s panting voice came from inside the necklace. “Nigel, I’m in the master control room now, which side controls the Ferris wheel?” Hearing Neil’s voice, Nigel recollected himself and continued to guide him calmly, “Left.” “The two people inside are watching the video loudly. The door is locked and you can’t get in, but at the corner of the stairs, there are two security guards chatting with each other.” “Got it!” Neil took a deep breath, put down the necklace, took out a stack of red tickets from his pocket, and ran to the stairs quickly. “Hello. Would you like to get promoted and make a fortune?”
