Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1643 âHow are you going to protect me? Youâre just as small as I am,â Suzie sniffed and said.
âIâll get up every morning to run and practice martial arts. Iâll learn martial arts from Uncle Brennan. â
Lucasâ eyes were full of determination.
He wanted to protect his sister, mother, and father.
He had been too negligent in the past. After this incident, he realized just how useless he was.
He had always said he would protect the people around him, but not once was he able to do it.
âLucas, donât put too much pressure on yourself.â Catherine was a little worried when she saw Lucasâ
expression.
âMommy, donâ t say anymore. Without pressure, thereâs no motivation. Iâve lived too comfortably this whole time. Now that something has happened to Daddy, you have to shoulder everything in the family.
Iâll work hard to grow up and share the burden.â Lucas raised his determined little face.
Catherine was stunned. In addition to the warmth in her heart, there was also a trace of heartache.
It was good for children to care about their parents, but Lucas was only three years old. This was the age where children should be carefree, but she was unable to let them lead comfortable lives.
âLucas, donât overdo yourself. Mommy doesnât want you to get too tired, â Catherine said gently. â
Rebecca has been locked up as well, so she wonât be able to do anything for the time being.â
âSheâs locked up?â Lea was surprised. âDid the police find evidence that sheâs behind the kidnapping?â
âNot yet.â Catherine shook her head. âShe was locked up by Titus. The police caught the kidnappers, but I think that theyâll say that Sheryl is the one behind the kidnapping.â
Brennan frowned. âIs⦠Sheryl involved in it?â
âDonât be ridiculous.â Lea glared at him. âAfter all, sheâs Cathyâs mother. How could she do such aâ â
âItâs possible that sheâs involved.â Catherine interrupted Leaâs words and said expressionlessly, â She knows about it and even agreed to it.â
Lea was suddenly speechless, but a fire ignited in her heart the next moment. They were all capable women in the business world. Even though Lea was also cold and ruthless when treating her subordinates, she was not black-hearted enough to allow someone to kidnap a child.
âMommy, Iâll never acknowledge her as my grandmother. Never ever, â Lucas suddenly said in a decisive manner.
âSame with me.â Suzie echoed.
âYes, donât acknowledge her. I wonât either.â Catherine was already completely disillusioned by the word âmotherâ. âAre you hungry? Letâs eat togetherâ¦â
Just as she spoke, Hadley suddenly called her. âMiss Jones, I heard that youâve rescued Suzie.â
âYeah, sheâs fine.â Catherine asked, âHowâs Shaun?â
Hadley was silent for two seconds before saying, â Not good. Heâs not talking to me and isnât willing to eat. He doesnât even want sweets, nor does he want to watch cartoons.â
Catherine was having a bit of a headache. She originally wanted to tuck the children into bed before going over.
â Iâll come over later. Watch him and donât let him run around.â
After hanging up the phone, two pairs of eyes were fixed on her.
âMommy, go to Daddy. Iâll stay with Suzie,â Lucas said sensibly.
âAlright, go ahead. Daddy is only two years old now. Heâs younger than me, â Suzie also said. She was indeed disappointed, but there was no helping it. Her daddy was even more clingy than her now.
âGo on. Weâll watch them for you.â Lea picked Suzie up. âGrandma will sleep with you tonight.â
Suzie pouted and asked pitifully, âThen will Grandpa accompany us too?â
Lea,â..â
