Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Chapter 44 So Open After a while, Emily looked at the time. It was past twelve. She took the herbs and left the bedroom. She felt tired and yawned.

Then, she knocked on her grandmother’s door. Grandma looked at her with sleepy eyes. “Emily, it’s so late. What’s the matter?”

She lifted her hair and explained awkwardly, “Mr. Greens is asleep. He won’t go back tonight. He’ll sleep in my room. I’ll come and squeeze with you.” Granny heard this and woke up. She looked at her in shock. “Emily, how can you let a man stay in your room?” She laughed dryly and said, “He hasn’t slept for a few days. He fell asleep. I couldn’t wake him up. There’s nothing I can do.” Grandma shook her head helplessly and let her into the room. Suddenly, she remembered something. She asked, “Did Mr.

Greens’ assistant also stay?” Emily did not understand and nodded. Grandmother’s expression became very strange. She wanted to say something but hesitated. Was Emily so open now? How could she let two men sleep in her room? Emily reacted and waved her hand. She quickly said, “He did stay. He stayed to take care of Mr. Greens. He’ll only sleep on the sofa.”

Grandma heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. The next day, Emily was woken up by the voices of the two children. She got up and washed up. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Sofia and Ethan holding a few boxes in their arms. They cheered and looked very excited.

Mason and Lucas stood beside them.

Lucas looked very energetic.

Indeed, he hadn’t slept for a long time. It was so comfortable to sleep. The two little kittens meowed and circled around them.

Emily’s inquiring gaze stopped on the boxes.

She walked over and asked the children, “Sofia, Ethan, what is this? Why are there so many things? Where did they come from?” Ethan and Sofia looked at each other. Ethan looked at her and replied, “Mommy, this is Lego. Lucas brought it from abroad.”

He hugged the box tightly and lowered his head. Sofia also said, “And he gave me a garage kit.” The little girl blinked innocently.

She liked these things very much. Emily was stunned. She frowned at Lucas and said, “It’s so kind of you. How much is it? I’ll pay you!”

However, Lucas refused, “Not much. I promised to give it to them last time.”

Emily never liked to owe others favors.

However, he sounded quite determined. She sighed and accepted it. At this time, Mason stepped forward and bowed to her. He said, “Thank you, Doctor Armstrong. How much was the treatment and medicine? I will transfer the money to you on WeChat.”

How could she accept their money again? Hearing this, she said, “Free. Take it as my thanks. You helped me last night and now you send gifts to the children.” She glanced at the boxes and smiled. Seeing that she insisted on doing so and calculated it so clearly, Lucas no longer insisted on paying. Lucy was coming out of the kitchen.

She held a plate in her hand and presented the breakfast that had just been prepared. When she saw everyone, she greeted, “Breakfast is ready. Everyone, come and eat together! And Mr. Greens, Assistant Mason, come and eat together!” Lucas politely declined, “No, I have already disturbed you last night. How can I stay any longer?”. When he woke up this morning and saw that he was in her room, he was shocked. This was really too rude. He was really embarrassed to trouble Doctor Armstrong and her family again. Mason also expressed his refusal and wanted to go back with Lucas first. Lucy, however, was very enthusiastic.

She insisted, “It’s nothing. It’s just a meal. No trouble at all! Besides, Mr. Greens, you are so kind to the children.”

The toys he bought for them were all worth a lot. Lucy was really grateful. Ethan wanted a set of Lego for a long time, but he had no money to buy it. She always felt bad for him. Therefore, she did not mind him staying in Emily’s room last night. . . Lucas was a little hesitant. But since the elder had insisted on this... If he refused again, it would be rude.

Mason looked at him awkwardly, waiting for his instructions.

The two children were also very enthusiastic.

Ethan smiled at Lucas and said, “Yes, Lucas, let’s eat!”

He liked this handsome man very much now. Sofia also nodded. “Yeah, Lucas, dine with us!” She walked over with one hand holding the box and the other holding Lucas’ hand. She looked up at him, her eyes full of stars. Lucas was stunned. The little girl’s hand was white and tender, soft and supple. She held his finger. He felt as if his heart had been melted. He got up and went to take a seat.
