Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 126



Chapter 126

Vania feared that he might get uncomfortable from eating too much, so she wanted him to move around a bit. She also wanted him to feel less apologetic, so she said, “Let’s tidy up, shall we?”

As soon as he heard Vania giving him a mission, Jude immediately got up. He moved quickly and gathered up all the rubbish before Vania could do anything to help.

Feeling comforted, Vania looked at him before she carried him to the bed. She proceeded to rub his stomach lightly. “I’ll massage you for a bit, or you might feel sick later.”

Then, she also lay down beside him.

Jude struggled against it at first, but he gradually settled down under her warm and gentle gaze.

After being tense and nervous for an entire day, he finally felt relaxed.

Vania spoke softly. “Just go to sleep if you’re feeling sleepy. I won’t be going anywhere.”

She would never take a step away from him today, for she feared that he might feel scared if she went out of his sight.

But Jude dared not sleep anyway. He was afraid that all this was just a dream, and when he opened his eyes again, he would be back in that dark and terrible place.

No matter how sleepy he got, he tried to keep himself awake, not allowing himself to fall into slumber.

Vania noticed that he hadn’t closed his eyes, so she began to talk to him casually. “We’ll be staying the night in this hotel, and we’ll go home by plane tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, everything you’re seeing now is real. I’ve found you, and I won’t let us be separated again.”

A plane? What’s that?

He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he never saw one. Was he getting on a plane soon?

Jude tried to imagine what a plane would look like.

Also, what would home feel like?

Even though Jude didn’t like expressing himself with words, he could understand many things.

He was beginning to ponder this concept of home.

To help him get accustomed to his new reality, Vania continued, “Let me tell you what it’s like at home. If you get sleepy listening to it, you can just fall asleep, okay?”

Vania pulled him close to her.

Jude’s body was rigid as he stared at her with widened eyes, afraid that he would fall asleep if he blinked.

Vania’s voice was soft as she told him how she had given birth to her babies five years ago, but she lost them in a sequence of events. She explained everything carefully.

Fearing that he might overthink, she introduced him to her three babies at home. She hoped that they wouldn’t feel too distanced from each other when they met.

To avoid him feeling different from the others, she also told him about his other sister she hadn’t found yet.

As for their father, she referred to James’ explanation and said that he had passed away in an accident.

Perhaps because she had dumped too much information on him, Vania was worried that he couldn’t process it in time. “We have all the time we need ahead of us. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can just ask me. Your brothers are all very friendly too, and you can meet them tomorrow. Let’s sleep for now.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Jude inherited Hanson’s and Vania’s genes, so even though he had never been to school or received any education, he was smart. He absorbed new information like a sponge, and he understood everything Vania told him.

Still, he didn’t want to fall asleep. Instead, he wanted to experience this wonderful moment longer.

However, he was still a child at the end of the day. He couldn’t hold out any longer and fell asleep.

After waiting for him to fall asleep, Vania finally relaxed and closed her eyes to take a nap.

With so many different emotions rushing through her mind, she couldn’t sleep soundly at all.

The next day, there was only a faint light in the sky when Vania opened her eyes.

She gazed at Jude’s sleeping face and smiled in gratitude.
