Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 93

"When you have a little brother, I'll protect him like Big Brother protected me," Asher raised his fist and said. Although his mind worked differently from that o f his peers, his pure heart understood the meaning of gratefulness. Since Samuel protected him, he knew how to repay Samuel.

Samuel glanced at Asher in surprise, then asked Florinda, "Asher's mind is quite clear huh?"

Florinda nodded and explained, "His intelligence is lower compared to his peers. He couldn't speak before this, but during the past two years, I've been telling him stories every day and he slowly learned some ethics."

Samuel nodded. Florinda had to take care of the household and make sure Asher was knowledgeable. I t was no wonder that her life was that hard-she could not squeeze in more time to earn a living.

"Once you're recovered, I'll arrange for you to get a job and give Asher a change of living environment. The ghetto is much too chaotic a place and Asher gets bullied after you go to work," Samuel said.

Florinda knew about all that because she would often see Asher with scars when she went home. However, she did not dare to think much about it because her current abilities precluded her from changing the situation. Thinking about it would only hurt her heart.

"No, you've helped me a lot. I just suffered some minor injuries and I can't rely on you for the rest of my life," Florinda said.

"Maybe it's fate and God wants us to get to know each other. In any case, I'll be upfront with you before the pleasantries. You’d still be let go if you don't do your job well," Samuel said solemnly.

Florinda nodded. Her gratitude was beyond words.

After the two of them left the hospital, Yvonne asked Samuel, "Where are you going to arrange for Aunt Zandt to work at? She probably only knows how to do laborious jobs. You should know that it's not necessarily a good thing for her to force herself into a different circle."

The meaning of Yvonne's words was obvious. Changing the people around Florinda might sometimes prove to be counterproductive because she might not be able to adapt to the new life.

"There are people who have their back against a huge abyss, where retreating by even one step was not an option. For them, no matter how thorny their path ahead lies and no matter how scarred they are, they will continue moving forward without hesitation. She’s that kind of person," Samuel said. He remembered how an abyss appeared behind him at the age of twelve two years ago. From that point onward, Samuel understood that principle. He did not want to be crushed to pieces, so the only thing he could do was move forward. 4

"Why do you look like you're getting emotional?" Yvonne questioned.

"Because we don't have a little brother," Samuel jested with a teasing smile. 1

Yvonne punched Samuel in the chest and got into the car without saying a word. Her ears were flushed and her face was as red as a monkey's bottom.
