My Beloved Stepmother's

CHAPTER 30 - The Heart of a Father

"Ssshh slowly."

It didn't take long for Lucas to receive retribution from his sharp tongue. In the space of no more than fifteen minutes, nature seemed to work together to teach him a lesson.

"Is it still painful?"

Lucas nodded, indeed the fact that his knees and elbows hurt. In fact, he only avoided chasing the father out of the house. However, unfortunately the man's legs actually misstep and his body lost balance to fall like a new baby learning to walk.

Lucas's knees and hands were injured, scratched by a rough floor in front of his house. Without being hit or attacked by the father's bodyguard, he fell down on his own and managed to make Julian laugh with satisfaction even though he did not act.

"I told you to keep talking, it's finally like this .. Just feel it."

"Where do I know that Daddy's watching me, it's a bitch. Why old bang_ I mean Daddy knows everything," said Lucas slowly, almost he returned the nickname for the father, if Zora did not complain maybe he would not be aware.

"Had known he knew everything and you still dared to act ... Daddy's been good and we have to take care of the attitude."

Had said Julian was the scariest man and had no heart, but this time Zora felt the kindness of the man. As he said, Julian was indeed a good father and he even felt sinful for making the child and father relationship tenuous because of him.

"I'll try, if I could just slow down ... Zora, did my kneecap break? Why does it hurt so much?"

The wounds he had were not as severe as they actually were, the blood that came out was also only a little. However, Lucas seemed to have just had a major accident that left his limbs not functioning properly.

"Just a wound, and it's not too bad don't overdo it" said Zora, calming the man, since he tried to treat a small wound in Lucas' knee and always stopped because his mouth was excited himself.

"really? But I fell far away, Zora .. like being thrown on purpose, fortunately my face was not hurt. Imagine if it gets scratched, I must have beaten up the one who dared to chase after me!!"

He who avoids, he who falls alone and turns to blame others. In fact, Zora also saw how Lucas ran to avoid the pursuit of the guards until finally fell, of course not as far and terrible as Lucas told.

It is likely that such a small wound would be Lucas' obstacle for days. Not only became a burden for Zora, but also the father who ended up calling two doctors at once to ensure the condition of his son before noon.

If he knew it would be this way, it would be better to be quiet and accept all of Lucas' words. Just because of the accident, Lucas complains and makes Julian really worried that Lucas's kneecap is in trouble.

"There's no problem, sir, just a small wound and I noticed it's been handled properly."

Just like her, Zora thought the man could think clearly. In fact, it was precisely Lucas who whined and feared paralysis due to knee injuries. The two doctors who were called had given an explanation, presumably they felt that they had failed to become a medical team.

"Nothing, sir, and also actually the young master fell from where? Third floor or where?" There is no harm in asking again, the man in a white suit was curious and worried if he misinterpreted his patient explanation.

Not tired Julian explained, while Lucas who was lying in bed only listened carefully to the father's words. He really misses this time, the time when the father panics and urges the doctor every time he gets hurt.

"Ah we did not hear wrong turns," said the man then reviewed a stiff smile.

How else would he talk and explain to his patient's family that all Lucas had was ordinary injuries. Either because the patient was too spoiled, or indeed his father was too worried that such a wound would prompt two doctors to go to his house immediately.

"Look, I'll give pain medication for his injuries. It doesn't seem like it'll be long if you drink on time."

A little insurmountable, it was fortunate that Julian no longer protested much and accepted his doctor's remarks. They rushed home from the family, the family that turned out to slowly warm up along with various things in their lives.

"It's all right, Daddy has to go ... It doesn't matter, right?"

"Hm, thank you, Dad," said Lucas slowly, since then he pondered whether the incident might be a universal rebuke due to his attitude to the father.

It's not easy to fix all this. Julian must temper his ego and bury his shame before Zora. Moreover, he had been rude, of course, making Julian feel guilty for both of them.

He walked slowly away from Lucas, until Julian stopped when he was about to close the door to his son's room. A little surprised, but Julian turned back.

"What's up, Lucas?"

"Don't gamble anymore, it's time Daddy stopped" said Lucas softly until Julian was now fixated on hearing the son's words.
