Chapter 1996


    “A..a bomb?” Luna immediately took a step back and stared incredulously at the box before her. “This


    thing is…a bomb?”


    “Yes.” Nigel smiled at her calmly and was about to open the box when Luna stopped him.


    She quickly went into the kitchen to check that the gas stove had been turned off, then closed the kitchen


    door behind her. She also gathered all the lighters and mmable products within the room and hid them


    somewhere else.


    After doing all this, she shot the box a wary nce and said, “Okay, you can open it now.”


    Nigel curled his lips into a smile but did not say a word.


    Joshua, on the other hand, pulled her into his arms and said impassively, “It’s just a bomb; you don’t


    have to be so paranoid.”


    Luna shot him an using re. “What do you mean I’m paranoid? Don’t you know how powerful


    bombs can be?”


    Just a single explosion could destroy their entire house! Surely it was better to be safe than sorry?

    “Don’t worry.” Joshua curled his lips into a smile and nced at her. “The fact that Nigel had brought it


    out to show you meant that he had disabled it, so it won’t explode.”


    He got up, strode over to Nigel, and opened the box.


    He was right; Nigel was a smart boy and would never put his mother in danger.


    Not only had he disabled the bomb, but he even poured some chemical substances over it to ensure that


    it would not work.


    However…


    Joshua furrowed his brows as he stared at the bomb. “Where did you even get this thing?”


    “From the ne we arrived in.” Nigel sighed, plopped down on a nearby sofa, and said tly,” I had a


    feeling that Charlotte was up to no good, considering how impatient she was to get Harvey toe here.


    “Therefore, before departing, I discussed this with Nellie and Neil, and the three of us agreed that it’d be


    better if I were to escort Harvey and Shelly here to ensure their safety.


    “It turned out that…” He closed his eyes as a fearful expression crept across his face, as though he had


    recalled some terrifying experience. “After getting on the ne , Harvey told me that something was


    wrong, so I used my hacking skills while he employed his detective experience to investigate…


    “Eventually, we found this bomb,


    “I managed to use a form I had found online to calcte the destructive capability of this bomb, and


    the result was that…the amount of explosives contained within this bar 14 sufficient to blow up the entire


    ne.”


    Luna’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.


    This meant that…


    If it were not for Nigel and Harvey’s quick wit, the children would not have arrived in one piece!


    Luna broke out in cold sweats as soon as she thought of this. She immediately lunged forward to hug


    Nigel. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”


    She could not believe that after his near-death experience, Nigel had taken so long to tell them the truth!


    Nigel let out a sigh and gently patted Luna’s shoulder in reassurance. “It’s not that I didn’t want to say


    anything, but I promised Harvey I wouldn’t…


    “He told me that Aunt Bonnie already has a lot on her mind, and because of that, his purpose ofing


    here is to help her, not cause her even more trouble…”


    With that, Nigel opened his eyes, wrapped his arms around Luna, and lifted his head to stare at Joshua.
