Kapitel 54: Catching up and future plans

It took a while for Lucas to get a hold of his emotions. In his whole life, he hadn't felt pain as extreme as this one. 

He had the feeling that keeping it untreated was less painful than this treatment.

"Sorry for all this, Sigh... I am embarrassed now." Lucas said while he kept using his hand. His face had an awkward chuckle.

"Embarrassed? Boy, you are the bravest man I have ever seen. The way you took that pain, even I would scream to the top of my lungs if this happened to me." John said in appreciation. Lucas could tell that John was saying all this with honesty. 

"Well... even I didn't know I had a high pain tolerance." 

Lucas finally looked at Aunt Ella, he was going to thank her but saw that she was already in a half-asleep condition.

"Uhh... Aunt Ella?" Lucas kept a hand on her shoulder that made her eyes open again in surprise. Without saying anything, she looked at his hand which was all fixed, and had a relieved expression.
