Chapter 47

The next day, she try to get closer to Lucas.

"Lucas, do you want some candy? I have plenty of them. Look!" Lilium show his the candies she brought.

Lucas look at it then shakes his head. He refuse to talk to her.

"Here look at this! I am a panda and I love kids~" She said as she tries to mimic the growling panda.

Lilium try to give him the panda soft toy but he gets more and more scared of her. Instantly, Lucas hides his face in his folded arm.

She tries to pets his head but she stop as she almost touches his head. She remember when the first time she try to touch him, Lucas screams and throw everything around him towards her.

*Sigh*

' I guess I shouldn't push him too much...' Lilium think to herself as she sigh out in disappointment. She smile to herself and try to keep her spirit up.

"Okay then. I will leave you with these toys. I will come again to see you later." Lilium said to him gently.

Lucas keep on hiding his face and didn't dare to lift his head up to look at her. Lilium grabs her handbag and slowly close the door behind.

Then she head towards Lucien's ward to pay him a visit. Lilium open the door and notice Lucien gets better then yesterday. He was there reading a picture book.

"Hello, Lucien!" She greets him happily.

"Hello, Big Sis." Lucien replied.

Lucien closes the book and put it on the side of the bed.

"What are you reading, Lucien?" Lilium asked him.

"Oh, this.... it was a fairy tale bed time story. The nurse give to me so I won't be very bored while waiting to go to an available orphanage." Lucien calmly replied to her.

Lilium heartaches. She never knew that Lucien knows about his dead parents. She grabs his small hand and look him in the eyes.

"Are you fine with that?" She asked gently.

"Yes. What option do I have, right?" Lucien tell her with a wide smile.

She hugs him tightly in her arm. Finally, she decide to take him in as his guardian.

"Lucien, are you willing to follow me if I wanted to be your guardian until you are big enough to take care of yourself?"

"Sure! Thank you, Big Sis!" He tightly hugs her back.

"Big sis, can you be Lucas guardian as well? I have promised his brother that I will take care of him..." Lucien asked her.

"Okay then. But you will need to take a good care of yourself first." She pets his head. He nods happily to her.

Later she apply forms to be Lucien and Lucas guardian. Soon, she got the permission to take them personally.

Lucien hold her hand and together they went to see Lucas. By the time they arrived, Lucas was all ready to follow Lilium went back to her home.

"Lets go, Lucas." She held out her hand.

Unexpectedly, Lucas hold her hand obediently. It was the very first time she finally manage to touch him. Lilium was overwhelm with emotion that she almost cry out in happiness.

Lilium then drives back home along with the kids. They arrived to her house. It was a small apartment in the big city.

Her husband, Harry and her 4 years old son, Bryan was waiting to meet them both.

"Hello, Lucien and Lucas. Welcome to your new home." Harry greets them.

Then Bryan hides behind his father leg. He was still shy to talk to them. Lilium chuckle as she saw his son being so shy when it comes for him to interact with others.

"Come on, Bryan. Don't be shy." Lilium try to give his son some courage to try and talk to Lucien who is ready to talk with him.

"Hello Bryan! My name is Lucien. Nice to meet you!" Lucien introduced himself.

"Hel...hello, rucian..." The 4 years old Bryan tries his best to pronounce his name. His brown hazel eyes dazzle as he look him.

Lucas was there standing and waves at him.

"What happen with Lucas, mom?" Harry asked as he was worried about Lucas who seems to be very silent.

"I am also not sure, papa... The doctor says his throat are okay but maybe after the tragedy, he was shocked and couldn't talk as usual." Lilium explain to him as she place their clothes in her son's room.

"Hope so... I hope I could help him with some therapy." Harry suggested hopefully. Harry was a doctor in the local hospital.

Lilium just smile at him and kiss him on his cheek.

"I know you can do the best for him, papa." She replied.

After a few weeks, Lucien, Lucas and Bryan finally mixed up well. Although Lucas still refuse to talk, he still show some interest in studying things around him.

Lilium decide to make a milk shake since Lucien ask for it last weekend. With using chocolate milk, she blend the ice well and add the milk together.

She rarely make the milk shake since it was bad for small child to drink too much cold drinks. After she make 3 cups of the milk shake, Lilium call out from them.

"Lucien, Lucas, Bryan! Come here, I have made you all milk shake!" She shouted.

"Coming, mom!" Bryan cried out.

"On my way, Aunt Lilium!" Lucien said.

Then, the three of them runs playfully to get Lilium who was in the kitchen. She then hands out one by one the milk shake to them.

"Yum!!" Both Lucien and Bryan love the milk shake a lot.

Lucas stare at the half empty cup that filled with chocolate milk shake. Lilium was surprise to see him starring blankly at the cup.

"What's the matter, Lucas? Was the milk bad for you?" She asked.

"It's....delicious... " Finally Lucas opens his mouth and speak to her for the first time.

*Gasp*

Lilium clapped her mouth surprisingly. She was so happy to know that Lucas finally willing to speak.

"Thanks... for the milk shake....Aunt...Lilium..." Lucas thanks to her.

Lilium was very happy that she is jumping in joy.Then she hugs him tightly.

"Oh, Lucas! Finally you are talking again!" She said.

Lucas just smile and continues enjoying his milk.
