Chapter 1316 Just Take It as He Had Gone Far Away
What was worse, when Huston walked out of the bathroom, he happened to hear what he said.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Evelyn looked over worriedly. When she saw a man in black pajamas with
wet hair coming out, her heart tightened.
"Have you finished showering?"
"Yes." The man went straight over and looked at Lucas lying comfortably in Evelyn's arms. His eyes, which had been
cold all night, finally softened.
He had been in the hospital recently and spent most of his time alone at home. He didn't spend much time with the
child, so when he looked over, Lucas looked away cautiously.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Huston bent down and reached out to pick up Lucas. "It's so late. Why aren't you

"I had a nightmare. I was a little scared, so I came to look for Mom..." Lucas answered honestly, but he did not look
at Huston.
He had been in a bad state recently. Even a child could feel it. He should be very scared with a straight face every
day, right?
Thinking of this, Huston's heart immediately tightened. Thinking of his question just now, he pondered for a
moment before asking, "Did you miss Great Grandfather?"
"Yes, Great Grandfather said that he would take me to eat fried chicken and pizza when he was discharged from the
hospital!" When it came to this, Lucas's face was full of joy. It should be known that Evelyn's control was relatively
strict, and fried chicken and pizza could only be eaten twice a month.
But when he heard these words again, he felt sad.
Just as Evelyn was thinking about how to change the topic naturally, the man next to her spoke first.
"Good boy, Lucas. If you want to eat fried chicken and pizza, I can take you there. Great Grandfather may not be
able to accompany you."
"Why? Great Grandfather promised me."
"Great Grandfather... went to another place. He asked Dad to take you to eat the best-fried chicken and pizza."
When he said these words, his voice was a little trembling, but he tried his best to restrain himself. The child would
not hear anything unusual, but Evelyn felt uncomfortable when she saw it.
Evelyn didn't know if Lucas understood, but after he said the last sentence, the child was silent for a moment. He
looked at the adults in front of him carefully and asked, "Will Great Grandfather be happy in that place?"
"He will." Huston forcefully pulled out a smile and gently stroked the head of Lucas. "Great Grandfather will be very
happy to see Lucas so obedient."

Seeing that the man's eyes were red, Evelyn immediately sent Lucas away. "Come here, Lucas. Mommy will take
you back to your room."
Fortunately, Lucas didn't make a fuss and obediently followed Evelyn out of the bedroom.
Five minutes later, Evelyn turned around and went back to the bedroom. The man was still sitting on the bed.
The night behind him was like a monster with its mouth wide open as if it could swallow him at any time. He lowered
his head as if he wanted to integrate with the night.
Evelyn knew that what they had just said must have hurt him again. She walked over and held him in her arms.
"Don't think about it. Don't think about anything. Get a good sleep. No matter how big it is, we'll wait until we get
up."
What he needed now was rest. Only sleep could resist the negative thoughts in his mind.
"I'm fine." The man raised his hand and grabbed her arm. He closed his eyes to block the surging heat. "Where's
Lucas? Is he asleep?"
"He will probably cry secretly when he returns to his room."
After a short silence, the two bodies snuggled up to each other.
