Julia took Lucas into her arms. "It hurts, it hurts so much. It hurts so much that I chose to end my life," said Lucas, who was crying even harder.
This was the first time they had seen Lucas express his heart while crying. Even Julia cried when she saw her son sobbing like this. When Lucas lost his lover and sister, he kept quiet until he became a cold and cruel man. But this time, Julia felt her son's fragility. Haisley and his children meant so much to Lucas that Lucas could be like this.
Lucas had begun to calm down, Julia's hands wiped away the tears on her son's face. "Are you calm?" Julia asked.
Lucas nodded his head in response. "Do you want to tell me now or later, when you're ready to tell me?" asked Julia as she rubbed the side of Lucas' head.
"Now," replied Lucas, still choking.
