Chapter 1643

“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.

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.

“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 up 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 in 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.

“Mommy, I’ll never acknowledge her as my grandmother. Never ever, ” Lucas suddenly said in a
decisive manner.

“Same with me.” Suzie echoed.

“Yes, don’t acknowledge her. I won’t either.” Catherine was already completely disillusioned by the
word ‘mother’. “Are you hungry? Let’s eat together…”

Just as she spoke, Hadley suddenly called her. “Miss Jones, I heard that you’ve rescued Suzie.”

“Yeah, she’s fine.” Catherine asked, “How’s Shaun?”

Hadley was silent for two seconds before saying, “ Not good. He’s not talking to me and isn’t willing to
eat. He doesn’t even want sweets, nor does he want to watch cartoons.”



Catherine was having a bit of a headache. She originally wanted to tuck the children into bed before
going over.

“ I’ll come over later. Watch him and don’t let him run around.”

After hanging up the phone, two pairs of eyes were fixed on her.

“Mommy, go to Daddy. I’ll stay with Suzie,” Lucas said sensibly.

“Alright, go ahead. Daddy is only two years old now. He’s younger than me, ” Suzie also said. She was
indeed disappointed, but there was no helping it. Her daddy was even more clingy than her now.

“Go on. We’ll watch them for you.” Lea picked Suzie up. “Grandma will sleep with you tonight.”

Suzie pouted and asked pitifully, “Then will Grandpa accompany us too?”

Lea,“..”
