Chapter 709 Pretending to be a Good Person?
Evelyn didn’t waste any time and quickly drove to the hospital after receiving the call from Huston. Luckily, she didn’t encounter any traffic congestion, and she arrived within half an hour.
She pressed the elevator button and found the ward according to the address that Huston gave her.
Anxious and eager to see her child, she forgot to knock, pushed the door open directly, and walked in.
Her gaze fell upon the hospital bed, where she saw her little one, Lucas, lying half-reclined, hooked up to an IV drip with red eyes. Beside the bed sat a man, patiently keeping him company, his eyes also rimmed with redness.
Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly walked a few steps closer, her breath still labored from the rush.
The man turned his face to the side, composed and

striking against the white hospital sheets. His neatly trimmed hairline and the intensity of his dark eyes captured her attention as they landed on her face, “You’re here,” Huston said.
Upon seeing her, Lucas immediately lit up with a smile and called out loudly, “Mommy!”
Evelyn, holding back her anger in front of their child, clenched her fists and managed to respond casually before bending down to check on him, “What’s the matter? Where does it hurt?”
Evelyn’s concerned and anxious gaze met with Lucas’s guilty expression as he shrunk his neck, “Mr. Lane said I ate too much and have indigestion,” he explained, feeling remorseful for his actions.
“Didn’t Mommy tell you not to rush while eating, to chew slowly, and not to eat too many snacks? Your appetite is already not great, and now you end up getting an injection because you didn’t listen to me!” Evelyn couldn’t help but scold, feeling both angry and worried after not seeing Lucas for two consecutive days.

something wrong.”
Seeing his pitiful look, Evelyn found it difficult to continue scolding him. She sighed heavily, realizing that lecturing him at this moment would serve no purpose. Her anger had subsided, considering that her child was ill.
Huston, afraid that her anger might be directed at Lucas, glanced at her and spoke in a detached tone, “If you’re angry, don’t take it out on the child. It was my negligence that caused his upset stomach.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
His words instantly reignited the flame of anger in Evelyn’s heart.
She couldn’t help but burst into laughter, glaring at his handsome yet infuriating face, “Oh, so you know that you silently took Lucas away! What were you thinking? Is this a habit inherited from the Lloyd family?”
The man had nothing to say. He deliberately made her unhappy, so it was reasonable for her to
Seeing that Huston was silent, Evelyn became
angrier, “Say something. Don’t pretend to be a good person in front of Lucas. Aren’t you very powerful? You make Lucas come to the hospital in less than two days. Is this what you call being able to take good care of him?” She asked.
Huston listened in silence, unable to refute.
Evelyn stared at his lowered gaze, noticing how his eyelashes were longer and curlier than a woman’s. They looked innocent as they rested against his eyelids, but she was the only one who knew his true nature.
Annoying, domineering, overbearing-these traits were all possessed by him!
“Huston, don’t think that taking care of a child is as simple as saying a few words. You have no experience, and you haven’t taken care of Lucas every single day. You don’t know his physical condition or the depth of his health issues. This time. it was just indigestion, but what if there were other
complications? Can you handle the responsibility, or did you never even consider taking responsibility?”
“Mom.” Lucas, who had been lying in bed without saying a word, suddenly interrupted her.
Evelyn was stunned for a moment and thought that Lucas had something to do, so she quickly asked, “What is it?”
Lucas sneaked a glance at the man beside the bed, then lowered his head and spoke in a small voice that was still audible enough for everyone to hear, “Please don’t blame Mr. Lloyd. It was my own fault for overeating, and he’s been really nice to me. He took me to eat delicious food and watch a movie.”
Lucas’s defense of Huston surprised both Evelyn and Huston himself.
