Upon seeing Lucas’ return, Isaac quickly sought a way to stall him, allowing Charlie and Mrs. Treadway more time to talk. But by the time he had thought of a plan, Charlie had already successfully convinced Mrs. Treadway to move to Sterling.

So, he stepped out and called out to Lucas, “Mr. Cameron, come inside!”

“Let’s go in!” Isaac added to Lucas.

As the two entered the yard, Lucas was overjoyed and shouted, “Mom, look at what I’ve hunted! Two fat and healthy pheasants!”

Mrs. Treadway emerged swiftly and spoke with a grin, “Lucas, you did a fantastic job hunting two pheasants so fast.”

She greeted him with a smile.

The yard was poorly lit as it was late, and Lucas did not notice any changes in his mother.

However, when he entered the room, he was shocked to see that his mother had suddenly become much younger!

He exclaimed with horror, “Mom… You… You’ve become so youthful! Half of your hair is even black! This… This is too incredible…”

Mrs. Treadway whispered, “Lucas, keep quiet.

Our guest brought some medicines that improved my health.

They turned my hair dark again.

Promise me you won’t tell anyone.”

Lucas readily agreed, “I… Don’t worry, Mom… I won’t say a word to anyone.”

Mrs. Treadway gave a quick nod and said, “Lucas, start packing your things.

You’re leaving with me.”
