“This is an order for the entire Seapolis City. No matter what the price we have to pay, we must find
Zama!”
Once Zama was found, they would be able to find out where Lucas was at and maybe even Nicole as
well.
Everything seemed to be related to Zama.
It was very likely that Zama was the one who caused Petty to disappear, protected Riley well, and
caused Lucas to disappear.
Samuel felt terrified.
She was just an old servant, yet she had such a powerful network, couldn't be found when the three big
families searched together, and was able to transport people right under their watch.
Was it because he was too incompetent or because Zama was too powerful?
Jason and Tim also heard the news and rushed to the Green Family.
This time, Samuel didn't hide anything from them and told them about Zama.
Jason's face was cold but didn't say anything. He turned around and went to search. However, Tim
grabbed Samuel by the collar. “If anything happens to her, you'll have to deal with me.”
“If something really happened to her, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.”
Samuel said coldly.
Tim let go of him, turned around and left.
While everyone went crazy looking for Zama, Lucas and Joseph were locked in a small room. Joseph
called out to Lucas in sniffles and sobs. “Boss, you can't die. What am I going to do if you die?”
“Shut up!”
Lucas had a headache because of Joseph making a racket. He spoke weakly.
Seeing that he was awake, Joseph immediately continued in a happy tone. “Boss, are you awake? Are
you not going to die?”
“Do you want me to die that badly?”
Lucas moved his shoulders and felt that he didn't have any strength at all. It seemed that the anesthetic
wasn't out of his system yet.
He looked at the hole on his wrist that was left by the needle. Excessive blood loss made him appear
particularly weak.
“Boss, would you like to drink water? I'll get you some water to drink.”
Joseph ran out quickly, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Lucas.
He wasn't big, so it was difficult for him to support Lucas, but he didn’t give up.
Water from the cup spilled on the back of Joseph's hand, but he didn't care at all.
Seeing what Joseph was doing, Lucas whispered. “Find a straw. It'll be more convenient.”
“Okay.”
Joseph followed Lucas’ instruction and ran to find a straw.
Fortunately, there were straws in the room.
Joseph brought the straw over, put it in the cup, and handed the cup to Lucas.
Lucas was really hungry that he felt like he was seeing stars. He didn't know if it was because of
excessive blood loss or because of hunger.
He drank some water and felt better.
“Do you want something to eat? I've hid something for you here.” Joseph asked quickly.
After speaking, he took out a hamburger from his sleeve and handed it to Lucas.
Lucas was really hungry.
He grabbed it and took a big bite. From the corner of his eye, he saw Joseph salivating, obviously also
very hungry.
Lucas paused, split the burger, and gave it half to Joseph.
“Here!”
“I'm not eating! You have lost so much blood, so your body must be very weak. I’m quite fat, so it’s
okay. Besides, my mommy will prepare food for
me!”
Joseph shut up immediately after speaking.
“Boss, I'm sorry.”
He lowered his head and was about to cry.
Lucas knew that Joseph was apologizing for what Riley did to him, but he didn't blame Joseph.
“It has nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing? Hurry up and eat. If you have enough strength
to run out after eating, then run out as soon as possible. Once you are out, call the old man and ask
him to save me. This is what you should do if you want to be kind to me.”
Lucas’ words made Joseph hesitate.
“Can I really?”
“Of course, you are her son, so she won't do anything to you. If you find the chance to escape, I will be
saved.”
Lucas smiled and handed half of the burger to Joseph.
Joseph took it, but did not eat, and spoke sadly. “Why do you think my mommy is so bad? How could
she do that to you? Auntie is so kind to me, why can't she treat you like auntie?”
“Not everyone is as kind as my mommy.”
When Lucas talked about Nicole, tears flickered in his eyes.
“Joseph.”
“Yes?”
“I miss my mommy.”
Lucas leaned on Joseph's shoulder. Although Joseph's shoulders were still narrow and small, Lucas
didn't feel lonely anymore.
Compared to the last time he was kidnapped, he had Joseph by his side this time, so he had a little
more courage.
Joseph's tears already rolled down.
“I miss auntie too. I don't want mommy anymore, she's bad! She's a bad woman!”
Joseph felt wronged the more he talked that more tears rolled down his cheeks.
Lucas was annoyed by Joseph making a racket. “Don't cry. You're a man. You shouldn't cry. You are
Samuel Green's son. You are the Green Family's son. Children of the Green Family shed blood but not
tears.” Lucas whispered.
“Boss, is it painful? It must hurt to have so much blood withdrawn from you, right? You just wait, I will
definitely save you!”
Joseph patted his chest and promised. Joseph's face was a mess from sniffling and sobbing, but Lucas
felt that Joseph had never been more handsome than this moment.
“I believe in you. You will save me because we are brothers.”
Lucas felt dizzy.
He gasped and continued. “Joseph, actually I should call you elder brother. You are a few months older
than me, but you are so weak. I would feel like you are taking advantage of me if I called you elder
brother.”
“It doesn't matter. As long as you are happy, you can call me anything.”
Joseph didn't care a lot about it.
Lucas felt that Joseph was really different from other children.
Joseph might not be as smart as he is, but he was like his brother and didn't fuss over things. Joseph
treated him whole-heartedly and shared with Lucas the good food he had and the fun things he did.
Although the two didn't spend a lot of time together, Lucas liked him, even though he was the son of
that bad woman.
“Joseph.”
Lucas's voice was a little weak.
"Yes?"
Joseph was pumped up and didn't notice that Lucas was tired.
“Promise me one thing.”
“What?”
“If I can't get out anymore, help me be filial to my mommy and treat her like your own mommy. And my
sister, she is born with poor health. The doctor said she wouldn't live long, but she is so well-behaved
and beautiful. She didn't even get to go out of the hospital to take a look at the sky outside. If
something happens to me, you will help me take good care of my sister and treat her like your
biological sister, okay?”
Lucas's words made Joseph cry.
“Don't talk nonsense! I don't want you to die! You will be fine! You will be fine! Boss, I don't want you to
die!”
Joseph hugged Lucas and burst into tears.
“Why are you crying? I’m not dead yet!”
Riley heard Joseph crying from a distance, and her temper flared immediately.
This child was like this since a young age. He cried whenever something happened. How was he a
man in any way?
When Joseph saw Riley, he shouted angrily. “You bad woman, I hate you! Go away! Go away!”
Seeing the disgust in her son's eyes, Riley suddenly raised her hand and slapped him.
Joseph's small body was immediately knocked to the ground.
But Riley didn't feel sorry at all. She grabbed Joseph by the collar and picked him up.
“I'm your mommy! How dare you talk to me like this? Did this brat teach you? Joseph, you are the
future successor of the Green Family. How can you play with this savage? Now you're even treating
your mommy like this because of him. Have you forgotten who was pregnant with you for ten months
and gave birth to you?”
“Bah!”
Joseph spit on Riley's face and started punching her.
“You are not my mommy. You are the devil! You ate my mommy and turned into her to confuse me! I
don't want to be fooled. My mommy wouldn't be bad like you! She wouldn't be bad! You bad woman, let
go of me!”
Riley was completely angered by Joseph's behaviour.
“Boy, you are the same as your worthless daddy! You are all tricked by people like Samuel, right?
What's so good about him? Are you aware that if
Lucas is still alive, everything in the Green Family will belong to him in the future? You won't have
anything at all!”
“I don't care! As long as the boss likes it, I'm fine with having nothing. I just want the boss to be fine!”
Joseph yelled.
From a young age to now when he was almost five years old, Joseph rarely hated anyone, but now he
hated the woman in front of him!
Riley angrily raised her hand again and was going to slap Joseph.
“Don't hit him!"
Lucas used all his strength to get up and slam into Riley.
Riley was caught off guard and was knocked aside by Lucas that she let go of her grasp.
Joseph took the opportunity to break free.
“Boss!”
“Run!”
Lucas saw that Joseph was about to come and pull him, so he held onto Riley firmly and shouted at
Joseph. “Run! Go out and find the old man. Hurry up!”
Joseph was shocked and a little hesitant.
Riley was so angry that she hit Lucas with all her might.
“You savage! Let go of me! Let go! Joseph, I am your mother! You can't leave me!”
Lucas gritted his teeth and stared at Joseph fiercely. “If you don't want me to hate you, run quickly!”
Joseph cried again but gritted his teeth and turned and ran outside.
“Joseph! Come back! You little brat! I'm your mommy! Do you know how much I suffered to give birth to
you? Come back!”
Riley yelled like crazy and tried to throw Lucas out. However, Lucas suddenly had strength in him. He
didn’t cry or shout and just held tightly onto Riley, making her so angry that she flung him off.
Lucas’s body flew like a broken kite and hit the side wall with a "bang" before falling like a rag doll to
the ground.
Riley kicked him angrily and spoke viciously. “Just you wait. I'll find Joseph and then I'll take care of
you.”
After speaking, Riley quickly ran outside.
A pool of bright red blood flowed out of Lucas’ body, more and more, more and more...
