Lukas reached his ho with his dad and brother. The cars were coming, but nobody asked what he brought them at all, they just felt his presence was enough.
Lukas’s mother was waiting outside in her wheelchair. When she saw the old truck entering the road and coming towards her, she smiled. She was missing Lukas, and after seeing him on TV, she missed him even more.
"Maggie, what are you doing outside?"
A woman who was gardening in the nearby house asked, she was a neighbor and also had seen Lukas grow up in this neighborhood where everyone knew everyone.
"Well, don’t tell anyone, Rosa, but Lukas is coming, so I was just waiting for him."
Maggie said casually she didn’t know the impact Lukas could have in her own neighborhood.
Rosa hearing this was shocked, she threw the watering can and ran inside. She was too excited to talk about anything anymore with Maggie.
Maggie looked at Rosa strangely, but shaking her head, she smiled because the truck was here, and seeing an unknown man coming down first, she felt a little weird.
" Mom "
Lukas, seeing his mother smile, thought the wheelchair pained her, but this ti he maybe could take her to a better hospital and treat her injuries.
"Luke, you have gotten thin, co closer."
Maggie said with affection in her voice, and then she rolled her wheelchair and went closer and hugged him.
"I missed you. This was the first ti you have spent so much ti alone. How are you?" How’s college? How about that team you joined?
Maggie asked questions as soon as she got hold of Lukas, and Ronald took Lukas’s briefcases inside with Noah and Roy.
"Mother, let’s go inside first, then we can talk about it."
Lukas said he didn’t want to be seen by his neighbors, these neighbors were, although nice, all money grubbers.
"Yes, yes, co inside. It’s just that Mom is so excited to see you."
Maggie said while Lukas pushed her from behind, he was also smiling with satisfaction. He felt trendous joy today just by eting his family, and he realized that his most prized possession might be his family, who cares and loves him so much.
Entering the house, he locked the door and took Maggie to the living room, where an old couch was present. Lukas sat on it and looked at his mother.
"How are your legs?" This ti I will take you with or send you with Father for your treatnt.
Lukas said he wanted to take her, but if the best hospital is far away, he can only rely on his father, Ronald.
"It’s fine, Luke, the legs are not hurting anymore. You don’t need to spend money on ."
Maggie said while caressing Lukas’s cheek gently, her eyes only held motherly affection for him.
"Mother, why did I earn so much money?" So that it can rot in the bank? You know you were the motivation for to earn this much money all this ti, don’t take away my motivation."
Lukas said gently, he was also smiling at his mother, and spoke with a gentle but confident tone.
"We can discuss this later. Go wash yourself up, the dinner is ready, and everyone is going to eat together."
Ronald ca in and said he also pushed Maggie towards the washroom.
Lukas went upstairs to where his room was, and hearing the creaking noise on the floor, he smiled, the nostalgia of both lives hit him like a truck.
After reminiscing for a while, he entered the washroom, and he felt like his tiredness was going away with the water.
[Ding!! Mission: Sign one autograph. Minimum Reward: $1000
Lukas, seeing the system notification pop up, was a little concerned about fulfilling it right away because he was away from where he mattered as a celebrity.
Never mind, I could fill this up later.
Lukas said this, entered his room out of habit, and felt a little weird because everything was set up by Noah, and this was his room now.
"Brother, should I change the things to how they were?"
Noah ca in and asked, he always looked up to Lukas, and seeing Lukas standing with a shocked face, he offered to revert the change.
"No, what are you saying? This is your room now. Keep it this way or any way you see fit, but prepare for a change because I’ll be taking you guys with in a week or so, as soon as I find a better ho for us."
Lukas said he wanted to take his family out of this garbage area, although it looked good, but industrial waste was being dumped nearby and the air was a little toxic.
"What do you an?" We are changing hos? What about my school?" Noah asked, he was not that happy hearing the whole ho-changing thing.
"Yeah, I can change your school too. Wait a minute, you like it here?"
Lukas asked, he recalled his past life mory where Noah always wanted to buy a house in the nearby town.
"Yeah, I grew up here, so of course I like it here. I will also marry a girl from this small town and settle here, I don’t have big dreams."
Noah replied with a smile, he looked too mature for his age and was a very calm person.
Sigh! This boy!
"Alright, we’ll see about that. How about we discuss this after dinner? Do you want to take for a walk after dinner or not?
Lukas asked, unlike other siblings, Lukas and Noah get along well because Lukas always behaved like a child and Noah always sacrificed his happiness for him.
"You bet, oh! I forgot, Sydney was asking about you.
Noah said, while pulling the curtains together as the sun was going down.
"Sydney? Who?
Lukas could not recall knowing a person nad Sydney.
"Sydney? Sydney Sweetney?
Noah said and gestured a glasses shape with his fingers to show his brother that they were talking about soone with spectacles.
