She felt that she had neglected her duty and failed to do what a mother should do. "Are you frightened? Don't worry, I will accompany you in the future. Nothing like today will happen again."
Huston heard this from behind, he felt a knot in his heart. Although he knew that silence was the best choice, he couldn't help suggesting, "I'll send you back."
"It won't be necessary!" She refused without hesitation. Huston said, "I can take care of the child myself. You don't have to worry about it. Please tell your family not to disturb me and the child. We don't need it."
"I know it's hard for you to accept such a thing, Evelyn. I don't want it either. I..."
"You don't want to, but what should have happened still happened." At this point, she couldn't listen to the explanation at all. She could only see the result and the harm they caused to the child. "They're too cruel. How can they do such a thing to a child!"
The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't defend himself. He could only apologize. "I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize. If you care about us, just let us go."
After this incident, her attitude suddenly returned to the state when they first met in Eoland. Helen knew that her actions this time had forced her further away.
She wanted to leave with the child, but unexpectedly, the corner of her clothes was pulled by a small force. She looked down and saw Lucas twisting his body and looking up at Huston.
Her heart skipped a beat. "Hey, Lucas?"
He saw the burning light in the child's eyes, which was soon extinguished. In the face of him, Lucas was so contradictory and helpless.
He held him in his arms gently, afraid that he would scare him. "I'm sorry for letting you get to know me in this way."
Lucas didn't quite understand why he wanted to apologize, but maybe this was human nature. He could instinctively feel the unusual feelings.
"Mom said that Dad is very far away. Is it here..." There were still many things that the child couldn't figure out. For example, why didn't she tell him that this person was Dad at the beginning, and why she lied to him? But this was not what he wanted to ask the most. "Why didn't you come to see Mom and me?"
Huston's heart was cut open by his interrogation. He roared in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to look, but that he didn't know where they were. He didn't know that somewhere in this world, there was a child who was connected to him by blood.
