Zama looked up and saw Lucas standing in front of her with a gentle look on his face.
"Stop crying. You're an adult, so you should be tough. Just set an example for me."
"Lucas!"
Blair wanted to pull Lucas back, but was stopped by him.
"Uncle Blair, she won't hurt me."
"How do you know? She's a vicious woman. You can't get close to her. If something happens to you,
how should I explain it to your mother? Come over!"
Lucas was still a child, so he might be fooled by Zama. However, Blair was cautious.
Lucas shook his head with a smile and looked at Zama with open arms, "Didn't you want to hug me?"
Hearing this, Zama was excited.
She stepped up and tightly held Lucas in her arms.
"Thank you, Lucas. Thank you."
She had never felt that a hug could be so warm and touching.
In the meantime, Blair kept a worried eye on her every move.
Lucas gently patted Zama's back and whispered, "Thank you for your offer to save my mommy and
daddy. Although I decided not to forgive you for those bad things that you've done before, I'm grateful
to you for having cured my parents. It's because of you that I can have a happy family. My teacher has
said that people are not infallible. As long as one truly repents and corrects his mistake, he is still a
good child. So I can forgive you for what you've done to me, but you can't hurt my family anymore."
"Alright!"
Zama cried bitterly, almost out of breath.
Even a four-year-old child knew that one should correct his mistakes. Why did she come around to this
in her old age?
How could she be less mature than a child?
She clasped Lucas in her arms.
This was her grandson!
If she hadn't taken her revenge crazily, she could have been able to spend quality time with her
grandson now.
However, she destroyed all of this. She ruined her chance to have happiness.
Lucas uttered when he saw that Zama was crying pathetically.
"Mommy said you suffered from a disease, a serious one. I don't know if you can cure yourself, but I
want you to stop hurting my parents. My mommy suffered a lot in this life, so I want you to be nice to
her. Just as the saying goes, women shouldn't make things difficult for women."
Zama hastily nodded.
She didn't want to let go of Lucas, not in the slightest.
This was the first time she thought that Lucas was so sensible and cute. She really felt sorry for him.
If it wasn't for her, he could have had a wonderful childhood and a happy family. But she caused her
grandchildren to go through a hard time.
She really cherished this moment and hoped that time could stop here. However, she knew this was
her extravagant hope.
She finally released him.
Lucas reached out and gently dried her tears.
His little hands were so soft and warm.
Zama's heart completely melted.
'Why didn't I cherish all of this before?'
"I have to go. Mommy is waiting for me outside."
Though reluctant, Zama had to let him go, for she had no reason to keep him.
"Take it. It will be useful when you grow up."
Zama took out a ring and handed it to Lucas.
"What is this?"
"A small gift for you. I know that you don't treat me as your grandmother, which I deserve. I'm really not
qualified as your grandmother. But now my life is almost over. I want to leave something for you. Zoe is
weak, you, as her brother, should protect her well."
"Thank you."
Lucas put the ring carved in ancient patterns into his pocket and then walked out with Blair.
"Lucas!"
Zama looked at his back and couldn't help but shout.
Lucas turned around and looked at the crying old woman, saying with a smile, "Grandma, goodbye."
Zama was shocked.
What did he call her?
What did Lucas call her just now?
Grandma?
She had been waiting for this moment for a long time!
She finally heard Lucas call her grandmother.
Zama was in seventh heaven now. She wanted to hear Lucas call her grandma again, but he already
walked out of the reception room.
She sat on the chair and wept bitterly with her face buried in her hands.
After Lucas came out, Blair said coldly, "Lucas, how dared you take her gift? Aren't you afraid that she
will hurt you?"
"No."
Lucas said with a smile, "Eyes won't lie. I can sense that she really likes me. Uncle Blair, don't tell my
mom that she gave me a gift and I called her grandma."
"You actually dared to lie to your mommy now?"
Blair flicked Lucas’ head with his finger.
Lucas scratched his head and said, "I just don't want her to worry about me, because she doesn't trust
Grandma Zama."
Blair felt that Lucas was an unusual boy.
"Don't you hate her for what she did?"
"Of course I do. But she saved mommy and Samuel. It means that she is chastened. We should give
her a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Blair was surprised.
Adults were complicated and their feelings would be influenced by many factors, while children were
demonstrative and showed directly whether they loved or hated you.
Kids were simple.
If you were good to a child, he would be good to you too.
However, adults didn't have such pure feelings.
Blair looked back at the reception room and could vaguely hear Zama's sorrowful cries. Though
detestable, she was also truly pitiful for having ended up like this.
When Nicole saw Lucas and Blair come out, she rushed forward and took a good look at Lucas.
"How is it going? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No. Mommy, I'm fine."
Lucas smiled brightly.
Then Nicole finally sighed with relief.
"I'm so worried about you."
Blair just smiled at them but didn't say anything.
After chatting for a while, Blair and Nicole brought Samuel in.
However, Zama didn't want to see Nicole. She was worried about Lucas and asked Nicole to stay with
him.
Though Zama was thoughtful, Nicole wasn't grateful to her at all.
Afterwards, Blair took Samuel in.
Lucas looked at Nicole and asked in a low voice, "Mommy, will Grandma Zama die?"
"Perhaps."
Nicole didn't lie to Lucas.
"It's normal for people to die of illness or old age. One day, Daddy and Mommy will also die. You have
to learn to take care of yourself, do you understand?"
Nicole's remarks upset Lucas.
"But I don't want you to die."
"Silly child, Mommy promises that I'll stay with you for as long as possible. Is it okay?"
"Alright."
Lucas lay in Nicole's arms and said coquettishly, "Mommy, I'm not going to attend the military academy.
I want to study medicine. When I grow up, I'll be an expert in all kinds of difficult and complicated
diseases. If you and Samuel get sick, you don't need to worry anymore because I'm here."
"That's good."
Nicole didn't take it to heart, since children would change their dreams from time to time.
They were bathed in the sunshine, and then Nicole felt a little sleepy.
She leaned against the chair drowsily.
Lucas felt bad for her at the sight of her weary face. He didn't wake her up but just watched her until
Blair took Samuel out.
"Be quiet. Mommy is sleeping."
Lucas told Blair and his men not to make any noise.
Blair cracked a smile.
"You just let her sleep here? Aren't you afraid that she will catch a cold?"
Lucas wrinkled his brows.
This hadn't occurred to him.
Looking at his furrowed brows, Blair smiled, "Alright, cover your mommy with my coat. Let's catch some
rays."
"Thank you, Uncle Blair. You're so nice. God will definitely like you."
Hearing this, Blair put on a wry smile.
God liked him?
Why did it sound so strange?
Lucas was very cheerful and lively now, completely different from before when he had just returned to
the Seapolis City.
Perhaps this was because he was with his parents these days.
The state of children could best reflect the bond of a family.
After covering Nicole with the coat, Lucas walked up to Samuel.
Samuel was still deep in coma.
Lucas reached out his hand and gently poked Samuel in the face, asking softly, "Uncle Blair, when will
Samuel wake up?"
"I don't know, but it's gonna be soon. Zama said that he would wake up in three days. But he still needs
to be given acupuncture later."
Blair's words reassured Lucas.
"Three days? It's so long."
"Can't you wait for just three days? Your mommy has guarded your daddy for a long time, but she isn't
as impatient as you."
Hearing this, Lucas pouted, "Why would Samuel get injured? Didn't he go traveling with Mommy?"
"Leave the adult problems to the adults. You can't understand it because you're still young."
"You adults always say so to put kids off. Don't think we kids don't know that. We just don't want to
argue with you."
Lucas said with a serious look.
Blair immediately laughed.
"Lucas, you really have the silver tongue. Who did you learn this from?"
"Of course you. Didn't I stay in your place for a few days? I learned it from you during that time."
Lucas' crafty look reminded Blair of Tim.
"You're more like Tim's son than Samuel's, because you're getting naughtier."
"Where's Uncle Tim?"
Lucas asked.
Blair whispered, "He has his own stuff. You just take care of yourself."
"Do you think I want to be a busybody? It's all because you adults always make me worried."
Lucas said and turned to look at Samuel.
He liked the current Samuel the best because he could poke Samuel in the face and pull his clothes as
he liked. He could even make a face and stick out his tongue at Samuel.
Just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly found that Samuel opened his eyes.
