NovelOnlineChapter 717 I Will Protect You and Mom in the Future
Of course, this bullying was not real. It was just bullying in bed.
When Lucas heard that his mother didn’t wait for him, his mood immediately fell, and his little face
wrinkled up as he lowered his head. “Didn’t she wait for me?”
Although Evelyn had been busy before, she would come home. every day and play with him for a
while. From a young age, Lucas had never been separated from her. And whenever he woke up, he
would always long to find his mother, just like now.
Approaching the bedside, Huston patted his shoulder gently. “Mommy will come to see you as soon as
she’s done. Lucas, you’re a little man now, so you need to be independent. Besides, I will be here with
you all the time.”
Lucas was very sensible and not as complicated as adults. Knowing that his mother had something to
do, he no longer willfully asked, “Can we go back now?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe didn’t like hospitals and always felt bored.
Kevin had already informed Huston that they could go home after the infusion. He immediately nodded
and said, “Sure.”
Only then did Lucas feel a little better. He lifted the quilt and sat
Bending down, Huston picked up the shoes from the floor. They were a pair of black sports shoes with
laces. He clumsily untied the shoelace knots and loosened them a bit before putting them on his child’s
feet.
It was his first time doing such a task, so it was inevitable that he was not very proficient at it. It took
him a good ten minutes just to put the shoes on.
Lucas looked at the messy knots on his shoes, probably the most unconventional bow he had ever
seen. But when he saw Huston’s serious profile, he couldn’t help but awkwardly say, “Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me,” Huston replied calmly, though his heart was filled with joy. With his strong
arms, he lifted Lucas from the bed and instinctively held his hand, “Let’s go, we’re going home.”
As Lucas couldn’t eat too much due to his digestive issues, and Huston didn’t know how to cook, they
took a detour on their way home and stopped at a renowned congee shop. They bought a portion of
Vegetable Porridge and a portion of Lotus Seed Porridge.
After spending two days together, along with Huston’s “psychological counseling,” Lucas became less
reserved and started talking more. He practically told him everything about his and Evelyn’s time in
England.
Husdon listened happily, his hands gripping the steering wheel, and he tapped his index finger a few
times before asking, “Do you really like Mr. Harper?”
“I like him a lot. He’s really nice to me and Mom. He buys me lots of toys. And Mr. Harper said he would
protect me and Mom forever.” Larcas hadn’t realized what Bert meant to Huston. He only knew that
Bert was very good to him. He didn’t understand the significance behind it.
Huston felt a bit uncomfortable hearing that, but he couldn’t say anything. After all, his past five years
had been taken up by Bert.

you do then?”
This question made Lucas silent for a moment, but he quickly emphasized, “But Mr. Harper said he will
always be with us.”
His response made Iluston’s heart sink a little. However, Lucas continued, “But Mom said I should be
more independent and not rely on Mr. Harper all the time.”
Huston paused. So, that’s what she had in mind?
He chuckled, pretending to have the impression that Bert would be with them forever, but secretly, she
hadn’t considered relying on anyone. Well, at least she hadn’t thought about being with
Bert.
Huston felt much better, and he said, “Don’t worry, from now on, I will protect you and your mom.”
“And Mr. Harper too,” Lucas added. He had been taught to be grateful since he was young, and he
couldn’t forget Bert.
Huston smirked, displaying a rare magnanimous attitude, “If he needs it, sure.”
As long as his son was happy, everything else was inconsequential.
