"How are you going to protect me? You're just as small as I am," Suzie sniffed and said.
"I'll get up every morning to run and practice martial arts. I'll learn martial arts from Uncle Brennan." Lucas' 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.
"Lucas, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Catherine was a little worried when she saw Lucas’ expression.
"Mommy, don't say anymore. Without pressure, there's no motivation. I've lived too comfortably this whole time. Now that something has happened to Daddy, you have to shoulder everything in the family. I’ll work hard to grow up and share the burden." Lucas raised his determined little face. 1
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. 2 "Lucas, don’t overdo yourself. Mommy doesn’t want you to get too tired,” Catherine said gently. "Rebecca has been locked up as well, so she won't be able to do anything for the time being."
"She's locked up?" Lea was surprised. "Did the police find evidence that she's behind the kidnapping?"
"Not yet." Catherine shook her head. "She was locked u p by Titus. The police caught the kidnappers, but I think that they'll say that Sheryl is the one behind the kidnapping."
Brennan frowned. "Is... Sheryl involved in it?"
“Don't be ridiculous." Lea glared at him. "After all, she's Cathy's mother. How could she do such a-"
"It's possible that she’s involved." Catherine interrupted Lea's words and said expressionlessly," She knows about it and even agreed to it."
Lea was suddenly speechless, but a fire ignited in her heart the next moment. They were all capable women i n 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.
