Chapter 127 Another Person to Protect
The little guy seemingly hadn’t slept well either. His body was curled up into a ball as he lay motionless throughout the night. This sleeping position suggested that he was still feeling extremely insecure.
Vania had only shifted slightly, but it was enough to wake him up.
Probably because he had been startled awake, Jude didn’t quite understand where he was right now. The luxuriously decorated room looked like heaven to him, and he suddenly sat up and leaned against the headboard.
He seemed to have come around when he saw Vania’s gentle smile.
He was no longer in that place, and he wasn’t dreaming.
Upon noticing that he had woken up, Vania greeted him and said, “Good morning. You’ve woken up too early, so you can continue resting a bit. We have two more hours before the flight.”
Jude didn’t seem to be sleepy at all as he stared at Vania.
“Well, why don’t we pack our luggage?” Vania suggested.
In reality, she hadn’t brought much along with her, and Jude had absolutely nothing to his name.
They only had a few necessities which they could just toss in a bag.
After hearing Vania’s words, Jude got up and walked lightly over to her.
Vania took his hand and smiled a little. This is an improvement, isn’t it? she thought.
She treasured such interactions between them.
Vania passed him the things, and he placed them according to her orders. Every time he did so, Vania would give him a little encouragement.
Even though Jude remained expressionless, Vania could sense that he was in a good mood right now.
When everything was packed, Vania lightly scratched his little nose. “Alright, let’s wash up and have breakfast.”
He used to be satisfied with just a meal per day, but he got to enjoy breakfast now. This was something he didn’t even dare to imagine yesterday.
Indeed, it felt good to have a family.
Vania squeezed out some toothpaste for him. “On the count of three, we’ll start brushing, okay?”
“One, two, three…”
Once the cue was given, Jude brushed his teeth at lightning speed and completed his task carefully. Then, he obediently stood upright as he awaited Vania’s next orders.
He did everything Vania told him to do, and he committed not a single mistake.
The two washed up in a friendly atmosphere. However, Jude had no will of his own, for he feared that he might do something wrong.
This made Vania a little sad.
Later on, the two had breakfast in the hotel, having the same light porridge.
When Jude ate his fill, Vania said, “Alright, it’s time to go home.”
Hearing that, Jude finally showed a change in expression. He was obviously looking forward to it.
Even though he didn’t say anything, he could already form the image of his family in his mind.
This time, he boldly took a step forward.
…
After the five-hour journey, the plane finally landed at Hammond International Airport.
Jude’s nervous emotions had also settled down considerably.
This was his first time seeing and getting on a plane.
He was both nervous and excited, and when he heard the arrival announcement, Jude subconsciously looked toward Vania.
Vania could feel his trust in her from this single glance.
Indeed, the bond of blood was truly amazing.
Vania spoke, her voice full of emotion. “We’re home.”
This time, Jude finally responded with a nod.
Vania’s elation was clear for all to see.
After all, home would forever be a concept that filled people with nostalgia and longing.
Soon, they got off the plane.
Vania spread her arms wide as she took in the familiarity of this place. From now on, she had another person to protect.
