Chapter: 709 He Is a Male
When Nicole saw Lucas'' eyes blinking, Nicole knew that he must be suspicious.
"Lucas, can I talk to you alone?"
Nicole asked.
Rather than letting him have a wild guess, it was better for her to exin to him now. Then he wouldn''t
worry about them and get distracted from recovering from his leg injury.
"Alright."
Lucas took his phone and went outside with the help of the nurse.
"Mommy, did something happen to Samuel?"
Lucas went straight to the point.
Nicole nodded and said, "Your daddy had an ident and is still unconscious. However, the doctor has
found a solution. Don''t worry. We can go back soon."
"Is it bad?"
Lucas knitted his brows hard.
"Fortunately, it''s not bad, but it''s not positive. Lucas, don''t tell your sister and Joseph. They''re not so
strong..."
"I know. Did you call today to ask me to take good care of them?"
Lucas’ words made Nicole a bit sad.
How fortunate she was to have such a son.
"No, I have something to discuss with you."
"Mommy, tell me."
Nicole told Lucas about Zama''s illness and requirements, but she didn''t mention that Zama threatened
her with Samuel.
Nicole didn''t want to leave more dark sides in his mind. They were the fact, though. If she could y
down their seriousness, Nicole hoped that Lucas wouldn''t remember them.
Lucas pondered for a while and asked, "Can that Zama cure Samuel?"
"Yes."
"I''ll go!"
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Lucas'' words put Nicole at a loss.
"Lucas, you don''t need toe over. I''ll give you a video callter. It''s enough to see her on the phone.
As for Zoe, I don''t want her to see it. You know Zoe is very innocent. I''m afraid..."
"I know, Mommy, I want to go there myself. I''m worried about Samuel. I can promise you that I won''t tell
Zoe and Joseph, but I want to see Samuel."
Lucas sounded like begging.
Nicole refused him with determination.
"No way! This is too risky. She''s a dangerous person. You know that. If something happens to you, how
can I exin it to your daddy?"
"But Mommy, if you don''t agree, I will go secretly."
"Lucas, you have the guts, do you?"
Immediately, Nicole had her heart in her mouth.
"So, Mommy, let me go there. Then you can rest assured, right?"
Lucas began to pitch it to her in a gentle way.
Feeling helpless, Nicole looked at him and said, "You want to anger me, don''t you?"
"How can that be? I pray every day that your beauty and youth willst forever."
Nicoleughed out loud.
"Stay young forever? Then I will be an old monster."
"It''s not gonna happen. Most likely, a siren."
Lucasughed loudly.
Nicole was in a much better mood, though the worry lingered.
"Lucas, I want to discuss this with you. A video will do, okay?"
"Mommy, me too. Let me go and see Samuel, okay?"
They had the same temperament, and neither of them wanted to give in, which was a headache for
Nicole.
"My throat hurts."
"My leg hurts. Ouch, I can''t get mad. What did the doctor say? It''s not good for my health and even
worse for my recovery to get mad now."
Lucas just made it up, which made Nicole giggle.
She knew that she couldn''t persuade Lucas.
"Alright, I promise you, but you have to be obedient. Get it?"
"Yes."
The minute Lucas heard her saying that, he was pleased.
Nicole was afraid that Lucas would have problems travelling alone, so she asked ir to send
someone to pick him up.
After everything was done, Nicole suddenly felt that she couldn''t go on like this.
She never had her own people to run errands.
Neither the Greens nor those from Night Elf Empire were loyal to her. Besides she herself felt
inconvenient to send them around. Especially after what happened to Finn, she didn''t have any special
feelings for them.
But now, she was eager to find her own people.
Nicole thought of Maia and Tim.
If Maia could be her right-hand man, would things be much easier for her?
However, Maia was far away in Bordeaux, so she couldn''te over to help Nicole in a short time.
Nicole couldn''t make up her mind. She knew that she would not be able to solve this problem for a
while, so she set aside this idea.
At night, Lucas arrived when Nicole was sleeping.
ir wanted to tell Nicole but Lucas stopped him.
"Uncle ir, don''t wake her up. I''ll stay with you tonight."
Lucas helped himself to lie on ir''s bed.
ir looked at Lucas upying his bed and said dejectedly, "You sleep here. What about me and my
wife?"
"Why don''t you guys get a room?"
"Why don''t you get yourself a room?"
ir wrapped his hands around his chest.
Lucas smiled, "I''m a child, so I can''t."
"It''s fine. I''ll get a room for you. You can go there."
"I''ll get frightened! Auntie Gabrielle, I''m scared and just a kid."
Lucas hugged Gabrielle and said like a spoiled child.
She smiled, "Alright. Auntie Gabrielle will sleep with you tonight."
"You''re the best."
ir''s face darkened.
"You sleep with him? He''s a male!"
"He''s just a child!"
Gabrielle was confused by ir''s jealousy.
"Isn''t the child a male? This fellow might be your son-inw in the future. How can a woman and her
son-inw sleep together? No way!"
Deiming, ir was about to hug Lucas.
Lucas hurriedly clutched onto Gabrielle like a ko and said cheekily, "I''ll tell Hedy that you want to
''sell'' her."
"What are you talking about?"
"You call me your son-inw. Arranged marriages are illegal now!"
Lucas said usibly. ir was furious.
"Brat, if I don''t hit you today, I..."
ir angrily rolled up his sleeves.
Samuel was like a pedant. Howe Lucas bore no resemnce to Samuel?
However, Lucas was hugging Gabrielle and refused to let go.
"Auntie Gabrielle, I''m injured. You''re an angel in white. You''re not going to watch me get bullied by bad
people, are you?"
Gabrielle found them funny but annoyed.
They always bickered with each other. She did not know what was wrong with ir.
"Alright, ir, it''s just one night. It''ll be fine. Besides, Nicole isn''t in good shape. We shouldn''t wake her
up thiste at night. Let''s talk about it tomorrow morning."
When ir saw Gabrielle taking Lucas'' side, he couldn''t help but feel upset.
"Then where should I sleep?"
"The sofa!"
Lucas pointed at the sofa and said. When ir gave him a look of displeasure, he quickly hid behind
Gabrielle.
She stroked Lucas'' head and said, "Go to bed. It''s already veryte. You have to get up early
tomorrow. Your mother''s throat still needs acupuncture."
"Who cured Mommy''s throat?"
Lucas had had this question in mind for long, but he never had the chance.
"It''s Zama," Gabrielle whispered.
"Oh."
Lucas did not say anything else. He took off his clothes and fell asleep.
A night passed.
When Nicole woke up the next morning, she saw Lucas was staring at her, his chin resting on his
hands.
"Good morning, Mommy."
"Good morning."
Nicole couldn''t tell if it was reality or a dream.
She rubbed her eyes hard before she was sure it was true.
"When did you arrive? Why didn''t you tell me to pick you up?"
"No need. Uncle ir sent me straight back. It was already midnight when I came back. I spent the
night in his room."
Lucas grinned and said, then cast a nce at Samuel.
"Hi, Samuel, I''m here."
Samuel did not respond.
Nicole felt a little sad.
"Your daddy will hear you."
"He can hear us. We''re connected."
Lucas'' smile was still bright and cheerful.
He was much stronger than Nicole thought.
Nicole hugged him in her arms and said guiltily, "I''m sorry, Lucas. I put you through too much."
"It''s fine. I''m a man from the family. Mommy, don''t be sad. Samuel will be fine. I''m a fortune teller. I''ve
told fortune for him. He will live long."
Lucas’ constion brought much warmth to Nicole, driving away the coldness in her heart.
"Thank you, son!"
Nicole hugged him tightly.
Lucas knew that Nicole wasn''t feeling well, so he smiled, "Mommy, let''s go and see Grandma Zama."
"Grandma Zama?"
Nicole was confused.
"Yeah. Isn''t it Grandma Zama who wants to see me?"
Lucas’ answer enlightened Nicole at once.
She did not like Lucas calling Zama grandma. However, the child had his own ideas. Although she did
not like it, she did not want to force her own opinions on Lucas.
"I told you, you can talk to her over the video call. You''re not allowed to see her. Besides, you know
what the ce is like. How can a little kid go there?"
"Mommy, let Uncle ir chaperone me. It''s fine. Don''t worry. I really want to see her, really."
Lucas sped his hands together, looking very devout.
Nicole wanted to say something, but Lucas was quick to add, "If she does anything to me, I will inject
her with tranquilizer right away."
As he spoke, he took out a syringe from his pocket. There was medicine in it.
Nicole was stunned.
"Where did you get it?"
"I asked for it from Uncle ir. I have to make full preparations."
Lucas said it seriously, but Nicole was shocked and her heart skipped a beat.
"Lucas, you can''t do such a dangerous thing again."
"Not anymore. Then I''ll go. Goodbye, Mommy."
After Lucas finished speaking, he jumped out of Nicole''s embrace and ran outside.
"Lucas."
Nicole was a little worried. She hurriedly got up, only to discover that her pajamas were tied on the bed
railing. Moreover, it was a tight knot. Lucas tied it unnoticed.
What a mischievous boy!
Nicole quickly unbuttoned her pajamas. When she ran out of the room, Lucas already left.
She suddenly realized something was wrong.
Didn''t Lucas hurt his leg? Was he recovered now? Otherwise, how could he run so fast?
Right at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Nicole.
