Chapter 1112 The Warmth of Home
"I don't want you to take on these kinds of cases anymore. We're just ordinary people, and your father and I don't
expect you to become some kind of national hero. All we want is for you to live a healthy and happy life. That's
better than anything else, do you understand?"
Lucy's words hit Evelyn right in the heart, nearly causing her held-back tears to flow again, but she managed to
hold them back, "I understand, Mom. I'll be fine, and I'll take care of both you and Dad. Don't worry."
Hearing her daughter's assurance, Lucy finally eased her worries and looked at Huston, who was sitting beside
them, "Did you two go together? Huston, you've lost a lot of weight, too."
Huston didn't expect Lucy to be concerned about him as well, and he felt a warm feeling inside, "I'm fine, Aunt
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucy."
"Stay for dinner later. We still have all those supplements you've been having people deliver to us.
They'll come in handy now."
"You young people, all work and no consideration for your health. Little do you know how worried your mother and I
are," Ben, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but interject. "Just this once, not as a regular thing. As parents, you
should consider your child even if not for yourselves. Lucas has been moody every day since you've been away. It's
only because of Grace's presence that he hasn't fallen into depression. The teachers have been asking about him
all semester, and we don't know how to explain."
Mentioning Lucas, Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, especially regarding their son's school situation, and she didn't
know how to address it.
Seemingly sensing her dilemma, Huston smoothly picked up where Ben left off, "Uncle Ben, don't worry, tomorrow
we'll personally talk to Lucas's teacher."
At this point, saying more was futile. Although Ben wasn't entirely satisfied with their actions, seeing how much
weight they had both lost, how could he bring himself to blame them? His concern turned into compassion.
Lucy prepared Chicken Stew with Fish Maw, a complicated and nutritious soup that required the preparation of
soaked flower gum and clean chicken meat. Yet, she didn't feel any trouble in making it, as she only wanted to give
them the best.
The smell of lunch gradually wafted from the kitchen. Despite being in a foreign land and having Huston's company,
Evelyn felt like something was still missing, but now, she could sense the atmosphere of a home after a long time.
Her once strong and hardened heart softened at this moment, and she lowered her gaze, lost in thought,
contemplating various ideas.
Suddenly, a warm hand rested on her shoulder, and she glanced to the side, seeing Huston pulling her into his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmarms. His attractive, slender fingers gently patted her shoulder, and his handsome face was filled with a comforting
expression, just as when they first arrived.
Evelyn held onto Huston's large hand, feeling it as a source of energy, constantly supplying her with strength.
With the meal ready, the four of them sat around the not-so-large dining table, with three main dishes and a
nourishing soup, each meticulously prepared.
Huston looked at the extra portion of rice in front of him, feeling a tingling sensation in his heart. He raised his gaze
and saw Lucy serving Evelyn, while on the other side, Ben was also busy, already filling his plate with half of the
dishes.
The warmth of a family, something he had never deeply experienced before, he could truly feel it now.
No wonder so many people cherish their families. In the past, he thought it was just the ignorance of youth, but now
he understood that it wasn't just about the concept of "home"; it was about the people in that home, the ones who
could bring warmth to each other in this cold world.
