Bella‘s POV: | squatted down, grabbed Lucas‘s arm nervously, and asked, “Are you hurt? And is your
head injury serious?”
Lucas smiled and replied, “Mommy, it turns out that you care so much about me.” Hearing this, I didn‘t
know how to respond. After all, the results of the examination hadn‘t come out yet.
“I just got a layer of skin peeled on my head, but my dad is miserable. His arm is broken!” As he spoke,
he turned around and raised his little hand to touch Herbert‘s arm which had been cast. I slowly stood
up and glanced at Herbert‘s arm. There was no emotion in my eyes. The wounded Connor said, “I’m
sorry, Miss Stepanek. We had a car accident on our way here. Just now. Mr. Wharton and Lucas went
to the hospital for a simple dressing. That‘s why we are late.” I held Lucas’s hand and said lightly,
“Since it‘s nothing serious, I‘ll take Lucas to draw blood.”
I took Lucas‘s hand and walked inside. Lucas looked back at Herbert again and again and shouted,
“Daddy, wait for me obediently!”
Herbert waved his hand at Lucas.
I took Lucas‘s hand and came to the window where they drew blood. I turned around, squatted down,
and said to him with a smile, “Lucas, don‘t cry later when you‘re getting your blood drawn!” However,
Lucas was like a little adult. He raised his arm and said, “Daddy said that I am a man. Not only can I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot cry when my blood is drawn, but I also have to protect Mommy!” Hearing this, I pursed my lips and
smiled. I reached out to touch Lucas‘s head and praised him, “You‘re such a good boy!” I had to admit
that Herbert did educate Lucas well. He was very brave and gentle. If he was really my son, I would be
overwhelmed. Then, I carried Lucas and sat in front of the window. When the nurse took out the long
needle, she felt that Lucas trembled obviously. I covered Lucas‘s eyes with my hand and handed his
arm to the nurse. When the needle pierced into Lucas‘s tender arm, I also turned my face away. I had
always been strong, but I couldn’t bear to look at it at this moment.
Soon, the nurse drew the blood. I took the alcohol cotton ball from the nurse‘s hand and pressed it on
Lucas‘s wound. At this moment, I heard Lucas‘s childish voice. “Mommy. why are you crying?” “I‘m not
crying.” I quickly wiped away my tears. “You‘re obviously crying. Mommy, you lied. You‘re not a good
girl.” Lucas‘s plump little hand wrapped around my neck “Mommy‘s heart aches that you‘ve been
pricked by a needle.” I said quickly. “You finally admit that you‘re my mommy!” At this time, Lucas
clapped his small hands happily and Chapter 261

Hearing this, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I had fallen into a child’s trap all of a sudden.
Then, it’s my turn to draw blood.
When the nurse was holding the needle in her hand, Lucas covered my eyes with his hands and said in
a childish voice, “Mommy, be good. Mommy, don‘t be afraid. You‘ll be fine in a while!” With Lucas‘s
comfort, I had long forgotten the pain and tightened my grip as I held him. Soon, the nurse was done
drawing the blood. I came to the row chair with Lucas and sat down. Lucas‘s little chubby hand pressed
the needle hole on my arm with an alcohol cotton ball. “The cotton ball needs to be pressed for a
minute. Otherwise, it‘s very likely that blood will flow out!” Lucas said, blinking his big round eyes. “You
seem to know a lot,” I said with a smile. At this time, Lucas patted his chest and said, “I have been in
the hospital since I was one. I just got discharged a few days ago. I know the hospital best.”
Hearing this, I looked at Lucas.
How much suffering had this child gone through to say such a thing? My heart hurt as if someone had
pricked it with needles. A few minutes later, I walked into the corridor, holding Lucas‘s hand.
Herbert and Klein came to us.
I looked at them and said, “The doctor said that the results will only come out three days later. Let‘s
meet here in three days.” Herbert nodded, and then reached out to hold Lucas‘s hand. . At this time,
Lucas started throwing a tantrum. “I want to be with Mommy!” Hearing this, I frowned and lowered my
head to look at Lucas. There was an indescribable feeling in my heart. Herbert also frowned, and then
said in a dignified voice, “Don‘t mess around!” “I‘m not fooling around. I just want to be with Mommy!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas raised his little face and said matter of–factly “Are you listening to me or not? At this time,
Herbert was directly angry with Lucas. Seeing that Herbert was angry, Lucas was afraid. His little hand
quietly let go of my hand, and his small mouth curled down. He looked very aggrieved, but he didn‘t
dare to cry. I felt my heart soften at the sight of such a poor Lucas. I immediately squatted down, held
his little shoulder, and said in a soft voice, “Lucas, go back with your daddy first. We will meet here in
three days. I‘ll bring some cookies and tarts that I make for you, okay?” Hearing that, Lucas‘s eyes widened. “Mommy, do you know how to make cookies and tarts?”
“Yes.” I nodded.
This time, Lucas nodded happily. “Okay, but you can‘t go back on your word.” “I won‘t. I’ll keep my
word. Come on!” Lucas also reached out his hand to give me a high five. Then, he walked up to
Herbert. Herbert grabbed his hand and said to me, “See you in three days!”
1037 As soon as he finished speaking, Herbert grabbed Lucas‘s hand and turned to leave. Connor
immediately followed. I smiled at Lucas and waved my hand. I couldn‘t bear to see Lucas go further
and further away from me. Half an hour ago, at the entrance of the examination room. Herbert‘s POV:
Lucas followed Bella to the examination room.
Looking at their backs, I was happy.
Because Bella would soon know that Lucas was her child.
Only I, Klein, and Connor were left in the corridor. I looked at Klein. “You should be very disappointed
when you saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary between Lucas and me, right?” “I don‘t
understand what you mean.” Klein‘s voice was ice–cold. I went on, “But I won‘t let your plot succeed.”
After that, I sat aside and waited quietly. Klein turned and sat down in a very far position away from me.
The atmosphere was extremely strange.
