Chapter 124: Joking
Only later everyone found out about that devastating news.
It wasn\'t until a couple of months after the release of the song, everyone found out that the person everyone so much wanted to see, the one who they all admired had already given up his life, that news also had a big impact on all his fans.
(I am done with sending the link of the website to all the online groups, especially the music ones and I have sent the link of the music video to Mason and his group.)
" Okay you did great, now- wait you did what? " Lucian was surprised by her words, as he sat up straight, well it wouldn\'t be bad to earn a lot of money through that website but lucian wasn\'t planning on doing that.
(Haha I am joking, I sent those things in the correct order.)
"..." Lucian was speechless, he hadn\'t expected her intelligence to be high enough that she could make jokes on her own, but it was a good sign.
" Well you did good then, also I want you to find someone named- " while Lucian was speaking Zero\'s words appeared in his head.
[ Why aren\'t you angry at her when you got so angry when I joked last time? ]
" Tsk tsk How old are you even? I can\'t believe you are making a fuss about a child\'s joke, sigh Zero, she is still just a kid. " Lucian replied shaking his head.
[...]
" Anyway Echo, find someone named Larry k. Smith, he is a singer and lives in Us. And then send him a message telling that his wife is diagnosed with cancer and make sure that it doesn\'t seem like a prank. "
He said, now he was done with the song and even the website that is going to take quite a bit of money from Mason, his friends and Karen.

After Monk returned to his house he found his wife at home, even though he wanted to ask but he didn\'t know how to ask that type of question.
Both the husband and wife were hiding the marks on their bodies from each other, Lara had covered her neck properly so that Monk can\'t see any of the kiss marks on her skin.
" Are you okay? " Lara asked as she saw how Monk was walking, it seemed as if both of his legs were injured.
" Yes I am fine, I just accidentally twisted my ankles so I wasn\'t able to go to school today, anyway when is Junior coming home? " Monk asked as he went to change clothes and take another bath.
" He is still in the school and he is going to play with his friends so he\'ll be back around 3. " Lara answered, not meeting his gaze.
Both of them were feeling awkward around each other, they wondered if the other person was cheating on them, while they can\'t ask because of the things they both had done.
\' Sigh, Lucian is going to do all that in the future too, how am I supposed to continue with my normal life? \' she thought, but remembering the previous night her face turned red and her body became burning hot.

In the evening, Lucian and Tess both were walking together they were going to buy a few things from a nearby shop.
Tess was eating an ice cream while she held Lucian\'s finger, and he was teaching her counting.
" Repeat after me, okay? " Lucian said, they both were attracting gazes from the few people around.
" Owkay. " Tess replied with enthusiasm.
" One. " - " ONE "
" Two. " - " TWO "
" Three. " - " THWEE "
" Four. " - " FWOR "
" Five. " - " FIE "
" Six. " - " SIE "
" Seven. " - " SIWEN "
" Eight. " - " E- Ewith. "
" Nine. " - " NWINE "
" Ten. " - " TEN "
After they were finished Tess sucked in a long breath in surprise, she was surprised at her own accomplishment, her mouth opened wide as if she had just created a rocket on her own.
" Yeah, you did great. " Lucian said patting her head with a smile.
Just as they were getting close to the shop Lucian saw a group of hooligans, there were more than twenty men with weapons, they were going to different shops and asking for someone.
" Let\'s leave Tess, there are bad people here. " Lucian said as he picked her up and began to walk faster, ignoring that group since he knew his luck, whether it is related to him or not he always attract trouble.
Tess was counting on her fingers, she was really enjoying learning something new.
Lucian had taken just a few steps when he noticed two familiar people.
It was Perry and Jerry, the two brothers who were beaten by Lucian not too long ago, even now they were covered in bandages, both of them had one broken arm and even their legs were in a really bad shape.
\' I expected this but they really are here for me, I do not want to fight right now because of Tess. \' he thought, and continued to walk.
Perry and Jerry were just standing and looking around and then they saw Lucian walking by there, they felt as if their breath had stopped and their bodies shivered uncontrollably, as if they were once again reminded of the pain they had felt at that time.
Both of them hastily turned their faces away and hoped that Lucian didn\'t see them, they do not want to get even more injured just because of some money, they were here to find someone else.
A person had won a large amount of money from the gambling house they work for, so to find that person they had to leave the hospital, they do not wish to get involved with Lucian ever again.
" Hey, isn\'t that him? " One of the goon in the group saw Lucian then he looked at the photo in his mobile, it was hard to ignore Lucian even in a crowd after all.
" Yes, that is the person who stole over four hundred thousand dollars from our house, we have to bring him back to the boss and take all the money. " Another guy said, as they got ready to attack him with the weapons.
" But what if he had already spent all the money? " Someone asked.
" We will turn him into a slave or even sell his organs if we have to but that\'s not for us to worry, let\'s beat him up a little first. " The leader of the group answered.
" What should we do with the little girl that\'s with him? "
" We can bring her back too, maybe boss could sell her if he doesn\'t have much money. " The leader spoke and began to walk to Lucian.
\' Sigh these guys are pissing me off, but for now it would be better to get away from here. \' Lucian thought then he took his mobile out and spoke to Echo.
