Chapter 188: Taking Ralph Out To Play

The first thing that crossed Lucien's mind when he heard the little boy's voice was the fake phone call that he received before the war started.

Naturally, he was wary and did not know what to say at first. His heart pounded hard against his ribcage.

Was it another trap?

"Mommy? Daddy said that I can call."

Ralph's words brought Lucien back from his stupor.

Of course.

Ralph was using Kinnon's phone to make a call. It was the real Ralph this time.

"Hey, Ralphy."

Lucien wiped the cold sweat away from his forehead. "How are you doing?"

"Mom, Ralphy is all healed up. Daddy said that I can go out and play."

"Mhm, that is wonderful." Lucien smiled to himself. He could picture the bubbly little boy just by hearing his cheerful, spoiled voice.

"Mommyyy... Can I come and visit you? Can we go out and play?"
