Chapter 26 Likable Lucas insisted, “Your mother treated my illness and was kind to me. Buying some toys for you is no
problem at all!” Ethan still shook his head and refused to accept. Lucas praised him in his heart. This
child was polite, humble, and not greedy at all. This Ms. Armstrong had raised such a child. Her
parenting was quite successful. Mason could not help but say, “Your mommy and daddy really know
how to raise
children.”
It was also the first time he had seen such likable children.
Ethan frowned, obviously unhappy. “We don’t have a daddy, only Mommy and great-grandmother.” His
voice was also unhappy, apparently offended. Lucas and Mason were stunned. They seemed to have
mentioned something that should not be mentioned.
Speaking of which, they had not seen any sign of a father since they came in. They had met Ms.
Armstrong twice before, and she was alone both times.
They guessed she was probably divorced.
“Kiddo, I’m sorry. Uncle did not mean it that way.”
Mason apologized sincerely. He had no intention of hurting Ethan. Although it was a single-parent
household, these two children were very outstanding. Ethan did not mind. “It’s okay. I have accepted it.

seriously, his eyes filled with determination. He was the only man in this family. In the future, he had to
protect his great-grandmother, mommy, and sister. Lucas and Mason were speechless, only looking at
him fixedly. Such a young child had such great ambitions. Ethan was not embarrassed. He played by
himself quietly and the room was silent. On the other side, Emily and Sofia had already arrived at the
medicine shop. The so-called ‘medicine shop’ was actually a small warehouse downstairs and the
medicinal herbs she had planted were all placed inside.
The temperature here was low and was very suitable for storing medicinal herbs. “Emily, look here!”
Vivian’s energetic voice came. Emily looked up and saw her best friend, supporting her grandmother,
walking over. “Why are you here?”
She was a little surprised. Shouldn’t they be at Aunt Zhang’s house? “We wanted to come out for a
walk, but we happened to bump into you. Alright, we were just about to look for you. We were afraid
that something might have happened.” Vivian walked over and asked her curiously, “Emily, where did
those people come from?”
Lucy was also half curious and half worried. “Let’s go in and talk.”
The three of them entered the medicine shop and sat down. Emily smiled and explained to them what
had happened. “He is my creditor and my patient. When I was driving on the road, I accidentally hit
their car and negotiated to pay the 100,000 yuan damages in installments. Later, I went to Mr.
Hawking’s clinic to do business and happened to meet them there. That guy was not feeling well, so I
helped to treat him. The money I owed them will be deducted from the treatment fee. He was not
feeling well today, so he came to me.”
The two of them understood the whole story and breathed a sigh of relief. “Since this group of people
did not come to cause trouble for us, that’s great. My heart is in a mess.”
Grandma smiled. She knew that her granddaughter had always been reliable. How could she get into
trouble with debtors or gangsters? Emily soothed her. “Grandma, nothing will happen to me.” “So that’s
what happened. I was scared to death. I thought he was a loan shark. But that man is really handsome!
It’s the first time I’ve seen such a handsome man.”
Vivian had a longing look on her face, regretting that she had only been focused on fear just now and
had not gotten a better look.
Emily laughed at her. “You are a love-struck fool.” Holding her hand, Sofia looked up at her. “Mommy, I
also think that uncle is very good-looking.” She could not help but laugh. Lucas was naturally
handsome.
However, what did it have to do with her?
She estimated that it had been almost half an hour. She packed up the medicine, supported Grandma,

“Mommy, it’s about time.” Ethan said..
Emily went forward and pulled out the needles one by one. “Get up.” Lucas was covered in sweat and
got up to get dressed. She was careful and secretly glanced over, wanting to see the tattoo on his
chest. However, Lucas always had his back to her as he got dressed. She couldn’t see anything on his
chest at all. Emily was very anxious, if only she had x-ray vision at that very moment! He had already
put on his clothes and was about to look back when she hurriedly looked away. If she was found out,
she would have no way to explain herself.
She was somewhat regretful. Fortunately, there were still more chances in the future. He will come for
acupuncture again. I’ll get a good look at it someday’, she silently comforted herself. “Ms. Armstrong,
what is this?” Mason took a look at the medicine in her hand and asked her for her instructions. “It’s
traditional herbal medicine. Simmer it and take it after three times a day after meals.”
She handed the medicine in her left hand to Lucas and looked at the medicine in her right hand.
“There is also this one. It is a medicated bath you must take every day. Soak in it for half an hour
before going to bed at night, and it can alleviate the pain in your body.” Lucas took the medicine and
asked her, “How much is it in total?” “A total of 50,000 yuan. Cash or transfer?” Emily replied calmly.
