Chapter 746
A Life Debt Repaid
âMommy, Iâm done. Do you want to shower?â
âHmm.â Cordy nodded and ordered, âGo to bed early.â
âOkay.â
After that, Cordy walked into the bathroom.
On the other hand, Richard behaved well and slept on the accompanying bed beside Lucas.
Covering himself with the blanket, he turned to look at Lucas.
At that time, Lucas had turned his attention back to his phone again.
However, he had clicked on a website for half an hour, but he did not scroll to another page.
Other than the fact that their arrivals had made him absent-minded, which he could not pinpoint, he could see many baffling things appearing in his head. Even being hospitalized felt like deja vu.
However, he could recall nothing even after he dwelled on it carefully.
He lost his memory three years ago.
He remembered nothing after he woke up because of a car accident.
Consequently, he found not a tinge of familiarity toward his so-called relatives and friends. They were just strangers to him.
That kind of loneliness and helplessness almost drove him mad.
During that period, he happened to bump into Nana, who was being hospitalized like him since she was having treatment for her heart. Her naivety and pureness as well as her enthusiasm toward life affected him. After a while, they logically became a couple.
However, he felt that something was lacking between them.
He did not know what it was, but he felt that he had forgotten something. It had always been buried in his heart which made it hard for him to open his heart to her.
âLucas.â
Richard called after him out of the blue.
Lucas was lost in a daze, so he was frightened by the voice.
He turned around to look at Richard.
Richard covered himself well under the blanket, only exposing his small head. 1 âDid I scare you?â Richard stared at him with his black eyes and asked.
âNo.â Lucas immediately denied it.
Richard grinned. âDaddyâs character hasnât changed at all after so many years. He always goes through hell to keep up appearances.â
âWhy did you call after me? Didnât your mommy ask you to go to bed early? Youâre growing. If you donât sleep early, sheâll blame me if she sees me chatting with you,â Lucas stated seriously.
The way he lectured others was still the same as in the past.
However, Richard was not angry. He asked Lucas, âDo you care about my mommyâs feelings very much?â
âStop fancying wild thoughts.â Lucas appeared disdainful. âI just dislike arguing with women. You know your mommy is pretty fierce sometimes, and gentlemen shouldnât fight women.â
âNo.â Richard sounded very certain. âYou always ignore women, but you treat my mommy differently.â
âNo, I donât.â
âWhy donât you admit that you like my mommy?â Richard asked him in confusion.
Wasnât Lucas very bold when he was trying to gain her heart back then though he failed to gain her heart for a long time?
However, he did not behave like he was now in which he refused to admit to it.
âWhy should I admit to it since I dislike her?â Lucas frowned deeply and looked at Richard. âYouâre just a kid, so you donât know the love life of adults.â
âI donât know about others, but youâre the one who raised me. Of course, I understand your feelings.â
âStop trying to cotton up to me. Iâm not close with you.â Lucas dissociated himself. âI told you many times that Iâm not your daddy.â
âDid you lose your memory?â Richard was not angry as he kept asking.
A crease formed between Lucasâ brows.
âYou lost your memory, so you donât remember us.â Richard looked at Lucasâ expression. He knew the answer without Lucasâ reply.
âMy life history shows no contact with you guys. Dicky, I did read up about John. I admit that I do look a little like him, but Iâm not him. There are so many people in this large world who look like others.
Thereâs nothing to be surprised about. Donât be stubborn.â
âAre you afraid that if youâre my daddy, you canât deal with your current love life? Is that why you avoid it all this while?â Richard asked him. 1 Lucas felt like what he was talking went over Richardâs head.
Richard would not believe him no matter what he said.
Besides, Richard insisted on making Lucas accept his imagination.
