Chapter 2846: Chapter 36: The Third Day (6)

"Miss Lucas, let us send you back... You probably can’t walk on your own just now," a young soldier suggested kindly.

Harrison Lucas nodded, not shyly refusing: "Thank you, then I’ll trouble you."

She really couldn’t walk anymore, fortunately, there were two comrades here.

The two young soldiers casually waved their hands, then easily lifted Harrison Lucas on either side and returned her to Major General Lucas’s courtyard.

And at this moment, Ben Lucas had already finished his morning training and breakfast, but instead of going back to the study room as usual, he sat in the living room, his dark gaze falling on the table full of wine bottles, pondering something.

Hearing noise from the courtyard outside the small building, the man got up and went towards the door.

He had already anticipated that he might see Harrison Lucas come back exhausted and weak-kneed like jelly.

But what he didn’t expect was that Harrison Lucas indeed came back exhausted and weak-kneed like jelly, but she wasn’t alone; she was being assisted by two strong, young and sunny soldiers.

Seeing the intimate actions of the two soldiers supporting Harrison Lucas, and their young, optimistic faces, Ben Lucas’s long, deep eyes couldn’t help but narrow.

If he remembered correctly, Harrison Lucas had been disdainful of him before going out just now.

Yet now, she could nonchalantly be supported back by other young soldiers.

What Harrison Lucas had just said, such as his ’handsome and manly look’ easily leading to associations with those strange novels and comics, echoed once again in Ben Lucas’s ears.

In contrast, the ordinary appearances of others allowed for carefree interactions, as her words repeated in Ben Lucas’s ears.

Ben Lucas’s already cold features turned even more grim...

The two young soldiers, who were originally happily and kindly supporting Miss Lucas back, were just about to greet Major General Lucas; however, upon lifting their heads and seeing the tall and imposing figure standing on the small building steps with an icy and stern handsome face, they were immediately frightened and loosened their grip.

"Good morning, sir..." The two young soldiers quickly raised their right hands, straightened up, and saluted perfectly.

As a result, because of this, Harrison Lucas, who had already been relying entirely on the support to remain halfway dragged and half walking back, instantly lost her support and was about to fall to the ground.

"Careful..." Ben Lucas ignored the young soldiers’ greetings, strode down the steps with his long legs, and in a few steps reached Harrison Lucas’s side and caught her securely.

Harrison Lucas’s sweat-drenched head bumped into his firm chest.

And her almost powerless body collapsed into Ben Lucas’s embrace, supported steadily by his long, strong arms.

The man’s distinctly jointed large hand, due to the action, naturally wrapped around Harrison Lucas’s slender waist.

What he felt was excessively frail and thin, making Ben Lucas’s sharp and stern brows furrow.

Harrison Lucas was still the same as when she was a child, more delicate and weak than males of the same age.

Ben Lucas had heard from Benjamin Lucas IX that when Harrison Lucas was young, because of family struggles, she was schemed against and given drugs, deliberately fed with female hormones, leading to ’his’ physical vulnerabilities.

For example, male characteristics like the Adam’s apple were not prominent; height, bone structure were affected, and muscles were not as developed as typical males.

But later, Harrison Lucas relied on her own hard work to struggle alongside him, entering the military department, to reach now.

Because of Harrison Lucas’s strong performance these years, Ben Lucas had long become accustomed to ’his’ strength, yet it turned out Harrison Lucas was still the same slender young person in his memory.
