Chapter 392


    Vania''s eyes widened in surprise.


    This was the first time Jude ever called her ''mommy'', and it came under such circumstances too. There


    were no words to describe what was going through Vania''s mind right now, but her eyes reddened with


    tears of joy.


    Once she came out of her daze, she pulled Jude into her arms and hugged him so tightly that she


    knocked the wind out of his chest. She said in excitement, "Jude, you''re finally calling me Mommy."


    Vania did not know how to exin what she was feeling, but her eyes continued to tear up.


    She helped Jude to lie back down on the bed before saying, "Darling, don''t worry about anything,


    okay? All you need to do right now is rest. I''ll be right here with you."


    Jude tried to get up, and he looked like he had something to say.


    Vania hurriedlyforted him. "You''re hooked up to an IV drip, so you need to stay still."


    Jude frowned. His expression made it clear that he was determined to speak.


    "You can speak while lying down if you really must say something." Vania did not want him to overexert


    himself since his body would be weak right now after the treatment.


    Even so, Jude was determined to sit up, so Vania had to oblige and help him up.


    Jude''s posture had always been proper, and it was now too despite his health condition.


    Hanson smirked while watching from the side. Jude''s firm attitude must''vee from me.


    Meanwhile, Jude was also staring at Hanson. He kept staring for quite some time before saying,


    "Thank you."


    This was Jude''s first time addressing Hanson personally, and his gratitude was sincere.


    If Hanson had not been willing to donate his blood to Jude, thetter would not be awake right now.


    Hanson knew that Jude was a sensitive soul and he did not want the young boy to think too much


    about this, so he said half-jokingly, "Since I helped you this time, could you not be so against my


    rtionship with your Mommy?"


    Hanson was referring to them as a couple, naturally.


    After all, whenever the kids saw him and Vania kissing, they would re at him.


    Jude had a grateful expression just a few seconds ago but the moment he heard what Hanson said, his


    expression darkened and he said stiffly, "These are two unrted things."


    His protest over Hanson and Vania''s rtionship was a matter of principle. It had nothing to do with his


    gratitude toward Hanson for saving him.


    He owed Hanson a debt of gratitude, and he was willing to repay it.


    If Hanson ever found himself in any sort of trouble, Jude would do his best to help him; not just


    because Hanson saved him, but also because they were rted by blood.


    Seeing how firm Jude was about this, Hanson could only sigh to himself. These children were very


    protective of Vania, and it was as if they were her knights in shining armor.


    However, now was not the time to dwell on this. Hanson exhaled and held his emotions back as he


    said to Jude, "What did you want to tell us?"


    Jude recalled that too, and his mind flitted through everything that happened.


    Then, he reached into his pocket and passed a note over to Vania. "One of the cleaningdies handed


    this to me."


    The scrap of paper was crumpled like it had been gripped in someone''s hand. After smoothening out


    the wrinkles, the message was clear for all to see. "I''m on my deathbed and I want to see you onest


    time. You must keep this a secret. I don''t want anyone else to find out about this, or else, I will despise


    you forever."


    The message was signed off with the name Susan Ledger—that was Jude''s adopted mother.


    After reading the note, Vania looked up at Jude with a slightly grim expression.

    Every single word in that message was calcted specifically to convince Jude.


    That person knew that Jude was a kind soul who valued rtionships very much.
