Chapter 512 Pain


    There was a lot of confusion as Lucas thought about everything, but he suddenly felt dizzy as if he


    was going to pass out at any time.


    Unfortunately, he was so sorrowful that he could not sleep ufortably.


    His whole body was inexplicably warm. Lucas stretched out his hand and touched his forehead in a


    trance. The temperature was scorching hot there.


    Children of the poor took charge of themselves earlier in life. When Lucas and Mandy were living


    together, because Mandy was so focused on looking for Luke, it was Lucas who took care of Mandy


    most of the time.


    So with hismon sense in life, Lucas always carried himself a lot better than ordinary kids.


    As soon as he touched his forehead and felt the temperature, he already knew that he had a fever.


    But unlike the previous fevers, this time, he seemed to have a particrly serious fever. Lucas felt a


    little stupefied.


    He wanted to get up and take a sip of water, but he could not even move a finger at that moment.


    Lucas could not help but feel desperate.


    He felt so ufortable, so ufortable that he started wondering, was he about to die?


    But maybe it would be better if he just died like this since all his rtives did not want him anymore.


    If he died here, Uncle Julian and Auntie Susan would have one less burden.


    After giving it a thought, Lucas simply gave up the struggle andid still on the bed.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    Just as he became more and more muddled, the door opened all of a sudden, and two silhouettes


    tiptoed in.


    Lucas dazedly saw that they were Julian and Susan.


    "This kid really did kick the nket away," Susan murmured, then approached the bed and gently


    covered Lucas with the quilt.


    However, when Susan identally touched Lucas’s body, she could not help but exim, "Why is


    he so warm?"


    "What happened?" Julian walked over anxiously.


    ''Luca is having a fever. Go, call the doctor,


    Susan said nervously.


    Julian reacted immediately and went to call the doctor hastily.


    Susan quickly brought in towels and a basin filled with warm water. She then covered Lucas''s


    forehead with a wet towel.


    Lucas felt a lot morefortable instantly.


    "Why are his lips so dry?" Susan picked up some warm water as she spoke, then she moisturized


    Lucas''s lips with a wet cotton swab.


    Her movements were so light and her voice was so gentle.


    Lucas suddenly had the urge to cry.


    Later on, brought the doctor over. The doctor prescribed some medicine while Susan helped Lucas


    up and fed him the medicine carefully. She then stayed by the bed without any intention of leaving.


    "Susie, you should go and get some rest. I''ll take over for a while,” Julian said.


    "Nah, you men have rough hands. I won''t be able to rest at ease. You’re the one who should go


    rest." Susan rejected Julian and continued to take care of Lucas attentively.


    "I’ll apany you here," Julian replied.


    Lucas tried to remain conscious at first, but as he felt more and morefortable gradually, his


    thoughts went all vague and blurry.


    The next day, Lucas saw an angelic face as he opened his eyes.


    "Luca, you’re awake." Chesney was lying on the bedside staring at him. She could not help but grin


    happily.


    ''Yeah," Lucas responded in a low voice.


    "You''re awake? Great, the porridge is ready.” Susan walked in from outside the door. "Luca, clean


    yourself up, Auntie will bring you down for a meal.”


    Her face looked a little pale now as she took care of Lucas all night.


    Lucas was touched. He quickly got up and gazed at Susan. Tears then started welling up in his


    eyes. "Auntie...”


    "What happened?” Susan asked softly.


    Lucas pursed his lips and said in a daze," You''ve treated me so well..."


    Mandy was obsessed with getting her hands on information about Luke all the time, and she did not


    care much for Lucas. It was no exaggeration to say that Susan was the person who gave Lucas the


    impression that a mother could actually be so gentle.


    "You''re my family. If I don''t treat you well, who else would?" Susan grinned.


    Maybe it wouldn''t feel that bad to have such a family?


    After having his breakfast downstairs, maybe the medicine worked its magic, or maybe Lucas


    figured it out, but he quickly became energetic and well.


    Julian and Susan discussed something and then pulled Lucas aside.


    "Luca, the thing is,” Susan exined gently, "Your mother entrusted you to me, so for you to stay in


    our house and make you an official family member, we would like to go through an adoption


    procedure with you. After going through the procedure, you''ll be our family legally."


    Lucas did not understand anything. He raised his head and gazed at Susan, "So will you really be


    my mother after going through the formalities?” "Yeah, for real." Susan nodded.


    Lucas gritted his teeth and then said," Okay, I''ll go through the procedure.”


    Susan hesitated for a bit and continued to exin, "Furthermore, if you wish to go through the


    procedures, you''ll have to change yourst name. So are you willing to change yourst name to


    Shaw? It''s Uncle Julian''sst name."


    Lucas stayed quiet for a while, and after a long time, a small smile appeared on his cute face. "I''m


    okay with it."


    Lucas Shaw.


    The name sounded good too.


    Although hisst name was Jenkins, he did not even know who his father was.


    His mother had always been searching for his father; however, she never told him who his father


    was.


    Compared to Mandy, Lucas had no feelings for his father at all.


    On the contrary, he resented his father who only appeared in his mother''s memories.


    If he had not abandoned them, his mother and he would not have had such a hard time, and his


    mother might''ve not abandoned him too.


    Therefore, Lucas did not even hesitate in changing hisst name at all.


    With Lucas''s consent, things were easy to handle.


    Soon, the procedures wereplete, and the Shaws adopted Lucas formally. His name had


    be Lucas Shaw from then onward.


    Because it was Mandy''sst wish to not want Luke and the Ainsleys to know Lucas''s true identity,


    Julian made every move he could to forge Lucas''s identity as an orphan.


    So from that day onward, Lucas was only a child that they adopted from an orphanage.


    In order to get Lucas’s mind off the grief of Mandy leaving him, Julian and Susan left everything


    behind for the past few days and concentrated on staying at home with their two children: Lucas


    Shaw and Chesney Shaw.


    No matter if he had forgotten about it or if he had hidden his sorrow, Lucas seemed to be more


    cheerful as the days went by—this made Julian and Susan very pleased.


    It had been a week since Mandy''s death. It was originally a very ordinary morning. Susan suddenly


    felt dizzy when she got up in the morning, and a dense pain then began to sweep through her body.


    Julian found out that something was wrong immediately and he asked nervously, "Susie, what


    happened?"


    Susan did not want Julian to worry, so she forced a smile. And when she was about to say that she


    was fine, another wave of pain struck her hard. It was so excruciating that she had to take a deep


    long breath.
