"Oh dear, what on earth happened, Amanda?" Latonia and the others were so frightened they could barely speak, retreating in alarm.
Seeing this, Matthew calmly said, "This kid is always getting into fights at school, and look, he's gotten himself cut again. It looks bad, but it's nothing serious. Please, everyone, go home for today, come again some other day."
"Alright, alright, goodbye..." The ladies left one by one.
Roman stared at the injured Lucas Lampard on the ground, looking serious, "Grandpa, why did you lie?"
Matthew stiffened, "I didn't lie, Roman. It's getting late, go get some sleep. Your grandma and I will take Lucas to the hospital."
Roman bit his lip, hesitating for a long time before finally returning to the house.
Seeing Roman leave, Matthew Lampard sighed deeply, "Poor Lucas, he seems to be a carefree kid, but he has a kind heart. He must have gotten injured trying to stop someone's wicked plot."
"Hmm." Amanda nodded, "Let's have Lucas stay with us from now on. If we send him back, he might not survive."
"Alright." Matthew nodded, looking grave.
Half an hour later, an ambulance took Lucas away.
Roman watched the ambulance leave from a second-floor window, then took out his phone to call Astrid.
At the same time, Astrid was interacting with her online friends, playing a game.
Her phone was in Gracie's hands.
Seeing that it was Roman calling, Gracie answered, "Sweetie, what's up? Your mom is busy right now."
