Chapter 153 They Were Obedient
By the time they returned, it was already dark. “This is the dinner I ordered someone to pack up for you and grandma.” As he
spoke, Lucas handed over the food box in his hand. . Seeing this, Emily felt a warm feeling in his heart. “Thank you.” She
thanked him and accepted it. She did not expect this man to be so attentive. That night, she and her mother were busy cleaning
up the herb field and had indeed not eaten yet. Lucy also thanked him from the side. “We’ve troubled Mr. Greens to look after
Ethan and Sofia for us.” “They were very obedient.” Lucas looked over with a faint smile. At this time, the two little ones hugged
Great-Grandma and Mommy respectively. Their voices were soft and lovely as they talked about the details of their dinner with
Lucas at night.
Especially Sofia, who was like Lucas’ little fangirl, said all kinds of praises. “Mommy, Lucas is so good. He took care of both of us
well.”. “Brother and I are so full. And Lucas also bought a cake for Sofia. It’s delicious.” Ethan also nodded and echoed.
TOUS.
Although he did not speak as much as his sister, the meaning was the same.
Lucas raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that the two little ones would only praise him like this, but he felt very comfortable in
his heart. He felt that he didn’t dote on these two children for nothing. Emily also didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Just like
this, after a few jokes, Lucas asked about the herb field’s situation. “Have you finished cleaning up over there?” “Not yet. It’s dark
and I can’t see the herbs clearly. I plan to deal with the rest tomorrow.” Emily shook her head and the smile on her face
disappeared. Her face looked very serious.
“I’ll send a few people to help you tomorrow,” Lucas said subconsciously, feeling a little distressed.
Hearing this, Emily instinctively wanted to refuse.
After all, she had already troubled Lucas a lot of things. She felt that she could still handle this matter properly. And her thoughts
were not hidden from Lucas. “You don’t have to feel burdened. Just treat it as me doing this for the sake of those precious
medicinal herbs,” Lucas interrupted before she could speak. Hearing this, Emily could no longer refuse. “Then I’ll have to trouble
Mr. Greens.” She looked over gratefully. On the other hand, when Ethan heard the conversation between the two, he was
sensitive to the fact that something that he did not know happened at home. “Mommy, what happened to the herb field?” The
little fellow frowned slightly and looked over with worry in his eyes. Sofia also looked over worriedly. Seeing this, Emily did not
want the two little ones to worry, so she hid it and told a white lie, “The herb field is fine. It is just that the precious herbs that
Mommy cultivated before failed again. I’m just a little sad.” “So that’s how it is. Mommy, don’t be sad. You can definitely do it next
time.” Sofia held Emily’s hand and comforted her. That soft baby voice was simply enough to make one’s heart melt. Ethan also
persuaded from the side, “Sister is right. Mommy can treat it as accumulating experience.” Hearing these words, Emily only felt
that the gloomy mood of the night had been healed a lot.
Lucas was also being watched by the interaction between the mother and son. Something was breeding in his heart. Later, when
he saw that it was getting late, he took the initiative to say goodbye. “I’ve been tired for a day. You should rest early. I’ll go first.”
“You’re leaving?” Sofia was a little reluctant and looked at Lucas with eager eyes. Lucas raised his hand and rubbed the little
girl’s head. He smiled and said, “I will see you again in the future.” Hearing this, although Sofia was very reluctant, she still
waved her little hands and said goodbye to her Lucas. When he went downstairs, Mason was already waiting at the gate of the
community.
Sitting in the car, Lucas stopped smiling, and he was expressionless.
“How is the investigation going?” He asked Mason in a deep voice. “I saw an unfamiliar footprint near the herbal field. Judging by
its size, it should be a man’s. I have already made a copy of it. However, there are no surveillance cameras nearby. There are no
other discoveries for the time being,” Mason replied respectfully.
When he said this, Lucas frowned.
“What about the others? Have you investigated them?” “Yes, I have sent someone to investigate the surveillance cameras near
Doctor Armstrong’s residence. I have found some clues,” “Two days ago, there was a suspicious car parked near Doctor
Armstrong’s house. It seemed to be monitoring her,” Mason said, nodding. Lucas narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in
his eyes. “Have you sent someone to investigate?” “I’ve already sent someone to investigate the car. There should be results
tomorrow morning.” Mason said truthfully. Lucas nodded, but his mind inexplicably flashed with the red eyes of Emily in the
evening, but she pretended to be strong. Although it was only the first time he went to the herb garden, from the layout of the
surroundings, he knew that the herb garden had been damaged badly.
Thinking of this, he was silent for a moment, and then he said to Mason, “No matter what, you must investigate this matter
clearly and find out who is behind this.” “Understood.” Mason accepted the order. In fact, even without the president’s reminder,
he planned to investigate this matter thoroughiy. After all, what that person destroyed was not only Doctor Armstrong’s herb field,
but also his president’s life-saving medicine!
