The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 39

“Mom, where are you going? Do you want to call a taxi?”

Haylan caught up to Felicia and followed beside her like a bodyguard.

“No need. That place is very close,” said Felicia.

The two of them moved forward, walking through the darkness and dim light.

Suddenly, Haylan realized that this path was very familiar.

Wasn’t this the way to his sister Floris’s rented house?

He looked at Felicia in shock.

As far as he knew, Floris had not mentioned her divorce and rental to her family. How did Felicia know where Floris lived?

At this moment, Felicia suddenly turned around and carefully said to Haylan, “Try to be quiet when you walk. Don’t disturb anyone.”

Haylan immediately slowed down and tried his best not to make a sound.

After walking for a while, Felicia gestured for Haylan to keep quiet and said in a low voice, “Wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

Then, she tiptoed into a small alley without making a sound. Then, she arrived at Floris’s rented house and carefully placed the money she had taken from the food stall by the window. She even

pressed it with a stone to hide it and made sure that it would not be taken away by outsiders.

After doing all this, she tiptoed back and looked back at the window. When she realized that Floris did not notice what

she had done, she heaved a sigh of relief.

When Haylan saw this scene, his brain buzzed and he was shocked. His eyes instantly turned red, and he felt extremely sad.

It turned out that the mysterious guardian mentioned by Tracy was Felicia.

His mother knew everything about his sister.

Haylan suppressed the bitterness in his heart and pretended to ask, “Mom, what are you doing?”

Felicia did not explain. Instead, she pulled Haylan and

walked for a long time before she said, “That house was rented by your sister. Isn’t Tracy sick? I’ll leave the money to her.”

“Mom, why don’t you just give it to her directly? It’s easy for others to take it away,” Haylan said.

Felicia sighed and said, “Your sister has a strong self-esteem since she was young, and she is very proud. When she got married, she almost fell out with me.

“She’s not living well now. Why would she tell me?

“She will only grit her teeth and hold on. She won’t ask me for help. If I didn’t do that, she definitely wouldn’t want it.

“I just don’t know if the money is enough for her to spend.”

After saying that, Felicia pulled Haylan and left quietly. Her eyes were still filled with worry.

Looking at his mother’s side profile, Haylan had mixed feelings.

At this moment, he finally understood why Felicia had no

intention of rejecting the money at the food stall.

His mother was still the same mother as before. She was so careful with every child, afraid of hurting their self-esteem.

At this moment, Haylan thought of the video of his father Charlie kneeling down and pleading for mercy in order to find a job for him. His eyes turned even redder, and tears ran down his face uncontrollably. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

He turned his head away and wiped his tears.

To be appreciated as a parent was quite unusual.

His parents might not be powerful people and might not be capable enough, but they could give up everything for their children.

At this moment, Haylan made up his mind to let his parents live a comfortable life in the future.

“Looks like I can’t be satisfied with being a security guard. At the very least, I have to be the director of the security department. I have to slowly make my parents accept my strength,” Haylan thought.

Charlie would definitely be very happy if Haylan became a director.

With such a foreshadowing, his parents would be easier to accept when he achieved better achievements in the future.

Felicia and Haylan took a taxi home. On the way home, Felicia was so tired that she fell asleep on Haylan’s shoulder.

That night, she stayed up late and worked overtime. She was really too tired.

Haylan looked at his mother who was sleeping on his

shoulder. He saw the white hair on his mother’s head and his

mother’s tired face. His heart ached.

Once upon a time, he had slept like this on his mother’s shoulder.

It turned out that unknowingly, his mother was already old and had reached the point where she needed to rely on him.

In the past eight years, his mother had suffered too much, but he was not by her side to protect her.

“Mom, just sleep. From now on, I’ll support our family.”

Haylan tidied up the hair on his mother’s head and hugged her. His eyes were red and filled with tears.

When the taxi returned home, Haylan paid and got out. His mother was still sleeping soundly.

Without another word, Haylan carried his mother and walked toward home.

His heart ached even more.

His mother was thinner and lighter than he had imagined.

Haylan carried his mother on his back. When he returned. home, Charlie was still awake. When he heard the door open, he hurriedly welcomed him.

When he saw Haylan carrying Felicia into the room, his expression changed. “What happened? How’s your mother? Why did you come back together?”

Haylan shook his head and explained, “Mom was working overtime tonight. I went to pick her up. On the way back, she was too sleepy and fell asleep. Dad, keep your voice down. Don’t wake Mom up.”

When Charlie heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief and

hurriedly asked Haylan to bring Felicia back to his room to

rest.

He looked at Haylan, who was carrying Felicia on his back, and a hint of relief flashed across his eyes.

Since his son was willing to carry Felicia home, it meant that his son had indeed grown up a lot and knew how to dote on his parents.

This feeling was really good!

Charlie’s eyes were red and he almost cried.

“This brat has grown up.”

He hurriedly wiped his tears and smiled in relief. He felt that all his efforts over the years had not been in vain.

After Haylan settled Felicia down and covered Felicia with a blanket, he walked out and asked, “Dad, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Charlie turned his head and wiped his tears. Then, he put on his cold expression again and said in a low voice, “I was just worried about you and your mother. You went out at night and didn’t come back in the middle of the night.”

“Alright, since you’re back, I’ll sleep too.”

With that, he wiped his hands, washed up, and went back to his room to sleep.

Haylan’s sharp eyes immediately noticed that Charlie’s hands were stained with residual oil.

This kind of oil was the one on bicycles or electric vehicles.

From this, it could be seen that Charlie must have gone out to set up a stall in the middle of the night to repair cars.

When Haylan was a child, Charlie often brought Haylan to

set up a stall on the street to repair cars. Once Charlie started to work, he would stay up all night.

Back in the 90s, repairing cars was very profitable. However, it was unknown if Charlie could still make money now.

The next day, Haylan woke up early in the morning. After the morning exercise, he bought the ingredients for breakfast and lunch for his parents.

He knew that his parents must be tired after working for so long last night.

To make his parents rest longer, he put on an apron, went into the kitchen, and began to cook.

When Felicia and Charlie woke up, they looked at the breakfast on the table and then at Haylan, who was cooking in the kitchen. They looked at each other.

Charlie found it unbelievable. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the kitchen. Then, he looked at Felicia and asked, “This brat never entered the kitchen before. Has he changed today?”
