With bright eyes, he asked cautiously, "Dad, you will take Mom with you, won’t you?"
"It depends on the situation." Luke's voice was low, and he did not answer directly.
But Brad did not give up. "You have promised Uncle Kingsley that you will bring me and Mom. An adult should be a man of his word."
Luke became silent.
After a moment, he nodded lightly. "Okay."
As soon as he heard this, Brad's eyes became even brighter, as he was overflowing with excitement and joy.
Forty minutes later.
Eileen walked into the living room in her pajamas.
Brad had turned off the TV, but Luke was not in the living room.
She laughed at herself.
'As expected, he left.'
Though she knew that he would leave, she still expected him to stay. She really deserved to feel sad.
Brad said softly, "Mom, Dad doesn't leave. H e went to buy cigarettes.”
Eileen was taken aback. "Really?"
"Yeah."
Eileen smiled. "It's time for sleep. I'll take you back to your room to sleep."
She carried him in her hands. But as Brad was a little heavy and her leg was lame, her
body tilted to one side. She staggered to the room, almost falling.
When she was approaching the bed, she hurriedly stepped forward and held the edge of the bed to stabilize her body.' Brad's leg cannot get injured again.'
Then, she slowly put him on the bed with difficulty, after which her forehead was already covered with sweat.
It was very easy for ordinary people to put a child on the bed, but it was so difficult for her.
Brad was very considerate. He comforted her. "Mom, when I grow up, I will carry you. By then, I'll be very strong and you are so light. I’ll definitely be able to carry you!"
Warm and considerate words always moved people.
Eileen smiled and pulled the quilt on him.' When Brad grows up, he must be a son with great filial piety, but I don't know...'
"Go to sleep." she said.
Brad put his little head close to her ear and whispered softly, "Mom, Dad ate up all the food you left for him."
