Lucas Walker lowered his face to look at the little boy in his arms. The little guy had stopped crying, perhaps exhausted from it or soothed by Lucas's efforts, and was now staring at him with a pair of bright green eyes.
"I promised Jue and Qi that I would definitely bring you back. I will keep my promise!"
Taking off his coat, Lucas wrapped the little guy's body with it, creating a makeshift bundle, and used the sleeves to secure him to his own body.
After feeling around himself, he took a quick inventory of his things.
A handgun, seven bullets, a dagger...
The ring on his left ring finger had collected dust, and he carefully cleaned it with his shirt.
Then, he raised his hand to touch his left ear. The small earring was still there.
However, since his watch had no signal, he was certain that Ivana Bennett would be unable to track his location as well.
Thinking of this possibility, Lucas's heart ached with a dull pain.
