Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"Who needs sleeping pills? Do you? What's wrong? You can't fall asleep?"

Joseph asked a series of questions.

Lucas touched his head irritably and said, "I can't sleep although I'm very tired. Once I close my eyes, I will think of Lexie's body. I just can't fall asleep."

He sat beside Joseph and said in a sad voice, "You don't know that Lexie's father is still in the hospital, and her mother cries hard. Previously I never knew what the responsibility was? I used to think that I wanted to be as famous as Daddy in the military compound. But now I know that being a soldier is a sacred profession. Whether you are a famous or an ordinary soldier, everyone is the same in face of protecting the country. We can't reduce casualties. In the meanwhile, we still can't face death. Lexie seemed to be chatting and laughing with us just a few days ago. But now she's actually gone. Everyone is bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the New Year with joy in the sound of firecrackers. But what about our soldiers? We are defending our country. Some are standing guard in the frontier, some are performing peacekeeping missions abroad, and some are fighting on the frontline. I don't know why I come back. I'm very tired. I just want to sleep. I really want to have a good sleep."

Hearing it, Joseph suddenly felt distressed.

He had no idea of the life in military and didn't understand their friendship. But he knew Lucas' sadness.

Joseph gently held Lucas' hand and whispered, "After New Year, we are all one year older."

"Yeah, one year older."

Lucas smiled.

Joseph gave Lucas a small bottle.

"This is a perfume good for sleeping. I just made it. I'll put it on your bed with a few flowers. The entire room will be filled with the fragrance. Then you will have a good sleep. You are too young. And the ingredients of sleeping pills are not good for your health."

Lucas took the bottle and nodded.

"Joseph, don't tell it to Daddy and Mommy. I don't want to worry them."

"Alright, but you have to promise me to take care of yourself. If you cannot keep it, I'll tell them. I don't know what they'll do then."

With Joseph's threat, Lucas had no choice but to follow what he said.

"Let's go. It's almost twelve o'clock."

Lucas put the perfume into his pocket and went downstairs.

Joseph also tidied himself up and came down.

Since it was New Year's Eve, everyone gathered at the living room table and said auspicious words happily to Mr. Shaw.

Sitting by the side, Nicole and Samuel watched the children come down and said with a smile, "Tim and Evelyn, at this time next year, we hope you can have your own baby."

Evelyn's face was a little red.

"Let nature take its course."

Tim held Evelyn's hand tightly.

At twelve o'clock, the bell rang outside.

Everyone said Happy New Year to Edwin.

Edwin smiled.

"Happy New Year to everyone! Come here. I'll give you some lucky money."

Mr. Shaw took out the red envelopes with money in it and handed them out to both adults and children. He had prepared these in advance

Nicole and Samuel also got one.
