Lucas stared at the empty computer screen, his mind blank.
When he realized what he had done, everything was over.
He actually could recover the deleted content, but he suddenly snapped shut the computer. A trace of determination flashed through his eyes.
After tidying himself up, Lucas stood up and left the bathroom. Yasmeen was gone. He suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart. He sat down on the bed, lost in thought.
Since he couldn’t hear anything, he was often in a daze. He thought about nothing, though.
When Nicole and Samuel came back, Lucas was napping.
He frowned slightly as if he was quite bothered even when sleeping. Looking at him, Nicole felt so sorry.
She walked over and tucked her son into the quilt gently.
In the past, Lucas was quite alert when sleeping. He could wake up immediately when hearing the slight footsteps. However, it seemed he couldn’t hear anything now. He was sleeping soundly.
Nicole had an indescribable feeling when staring at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
Samuel felt sorry for her, but he didn’t know how to comfort her.
After a while, Nicole put the food on the table aside. Then she left the ward.
Samuel followed her, only to hear her say, “I want to call Davon and asked him to come over and give Lucas a checkup. I don’t believe Lucas is deaf now. He’s so young. He...”
“Honey, Lucas’s deafness is temporary. I asked the doctor. In his mission, the bomb exploded next to his ear, so it caused temporary deafness. No worries. His ears would recover in a week at the latest,” Samuel explained hurriedly.
“What if it’s not temporary? After a week, the optimal treatment time would be missed.”
All Nicole was concerned about now was her son’s ears.
Samuel rubbed his nose and kept silent.
Looking at him, Nicole felt quite upset.
“Don’t you agree with me?” she asked.
“Yes, I agree with you. I’ll call Davon now. But Phoenix has just had a second baby. Are you sure I should call Davon now?” Samuel said.
Upon hearing it, Nicole was taken aback.
That was true.
A decade ago, Phoenix’s infertility had been cured by Davon, and she gave birth to a baby boy. Phoenix’s delivery was quite life-threatening because of a massive hemorrhage, which almost scared Davon to death. Hence, he didn’t want Phoenix to give birth again.
Unexpectedly, Phoenix was pregnant after ten years. She had been pregnant for four months when they realized it, so they could only keep the baby. Not long ago, she gave birth to a baby girl. Until now, she was still in the confinement month.
If they called Davon over at this time, it would be too inhumane.
Nicole was taken aback and said, “Let’s call Joseph. His brother is injured. He should come back to check on Lucas, shouldn’t he?”
“Joseph is attending an international seminar right now, representing our country. Let alone calling him, even the telegraph couldn’t reach him.”
Samuel was also worried about Lucas’s ears, but he was pretty rational.
In rent few years, Nicole was exceptionally sentimental when things were about her children.
However, Samuel dared not to make such a remark directly. What if Nicole got angry? He had to calm her down and echo her first.

What is it with Chinese authors.
