When Lucas‘s phone rang, Samuel just finished the talk with Nicole. When he was about to talk to his son, he noticed Lucas’s phone ringing.
“Who's calling?”
“Come on dad, it's my privacy.” Lucas replied.
Then he picked up the phone and walked out.
“Privacy? Kid's privacy?” Samuel shook his head.
Lucas walked to a quiet corner and then he connected the video chat with Zoe. Then he saw her unhappy face.
“Bother, don't you care about me anymore?
“How comes! I love you, sis.”
Lucas felt relieved when noticing that Zoe looked much better, though her face was still pale.
“Why don't you come to see me if you still care about me? I haven't seen you for so long and it is Joseph who always stays with me. Are you busy with something?”
Zoe had been staying by Lucas’s side since she was born. But they had to separate because Lucas needed to return home with Nicole. But since Zoe had also returned, why didn't her brother come to see her?
Lucas felt so sorry to see his sister shedding tears.
“Alright, alright, I will come to see you later, okay?”
“Keep your promise! Mommy is in a bad mood and grandma told me that her face turned awful because she was allergic to the make-up. But I do remember that mommy has never been allergic to make-up before.” Zoe told Lucas everything.
Hearing that, Lucas's eyes squinted.
“Is it serious? How is mom?”
“Her face looks exceedingly red. I think it's quite serious.”
“Okay, I will come to see you later. Don't be naughty, okay?” As the elder brother, Lucas was a much more sensible kid.
“Yeah, brother, I want some apples.” Zoe smiled as she knew that Lucas would come to see her soon.
“No, you haven't totally recovered. I will buy you apples every day when you recover.”
“Okay, keep your promise!”
“Of course, I will.”
“You are the best brother in the world!”
Lucas felt sweet when hearing that. He didn't hang up the chat until it had been a while.
But since he had promised to visit Zoe later, how was he going to tell Samuel about it?
When Lucas walked to the door of Samuel's ward while thinking, he happened to hear his father’s words.
“Watch Lucas when he comes back, don't let her go to the downtown hospital.”
“Why?” Asked Finn.
“Nicole's face is allergic. I am afraid it will make Lucas worried if he knows. You know, he really cares about his mom. What's more, Nicole is tired recently. Don't disturb her.” Samuel sighed.
Upon hearing that, Lucas squinted again.
‘Come on, I am her son!’ Lucas complained and then he walked into the ward.
“I want to go home.”
Samuel was stunned, “Go home?”
“Yes. I don't even have clothes to change. It is so dirty. And I can't sleep well in this noisy place so I fancy taking a nap at home. Since you are fine, you can have Finn here to accompany you.”
Lucas’s request was reasonable. And even the dark circles under his eyes could be clearly seen.
“Let Finn drive you home.”
Now Zama was arrested and Jacob had already started to deal with her accomplices. Though not all of them had been found out, Finn had sent a lot of his subordinates to guard the Greer’s villa. So Samuel could rest assure to let Lucas go back home for a rest.
“No need, I can take a taxi on my own.”
“No! You are just a four-year-old kid.”
“But this four-year-old kid has saved you and mommy.” Lucas refuted.
Samuel was rendered speechless, but he still insisted, “Stay here or take Finn's car back home.”
“Okay,” Lucas just turned around and said to Finn, “Finn, let's go.”
Samuel nodded with consent while Finn was looking at her with hesitation.
Samuel was fine here alone. And there was still a carer beside him.
Finn left with Lucas. Then Samuel fell into sleep on the bed.
Lucas stayed quiet in the car, just as other sensible kids.
“Why do you stay quiet?” Finn felt a bit weird.
“I have been a quiet nice-looking guy.”
Finn was amused when hearing that.

The book is slow....too many words are wasted to explain...need a better translator.......
God I want to read the book but it's freaking annoying, Samuel Green, Nicole Bush, Lucas Bush, Jacob Brown in every line.....I hope this author grows...the book would have been okay but it's affecting my mood...
Does the author have write the full names of the characters all the time...it's annoying...we are reading the book, we know their surnames already.......
What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
