I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

But after she and Marcello had discussed it secretly for so many years, she adhered to the principle of keeping the money within the family.

The couple's attitude towards this matter has changed from being vaguely rejecting it in the beginning to now planning to let nature take its course while also trying to bring the two of them together.

Let’s put gender aside.

Icarus is indeed the perfect person to take care of Arturo throughout his life.

Whether in daily life or in ideals, beliefs and dreams.

Ekalos has long become an indispensable part of Arturo, and is regarded by Arturo as his final bottom line in all aspects.

Therefore, both publicly and privately, Luciana and Marcello hope that the two can be together.

At the very least, we must become close friends who can accompany each other throughout our lives.

Although he knew it was a bit selfish, the only way to better protect his daughter was to tie Ekalos to Arturo.

The reason why Luciana brought Icarus back to Lateran was not only because the girl saved her life, but also because of this consideration.

Although their family has regarded Icarus as a member of the family for many years, Luciana still feels somewhat guilty.

Therefore, if possible, Luciana hopes that her daughter can win this little cutie, so that they can completely become a family. It can also be regarded as letting her daughter spend her whole life with each other, and it will not waste little Ekalos' life.

You can also eliminate the guilt and get a lovely little daughter at the same time, why not?

Anyway, Rutland doesn't discriminate against two girls being together. What everyone values ​​is the sincere resonance.

"Woo...Mama Luciana, stop talking nonsense! Arturo, come and take care of Mama Luciana and Federico! Aren't you here to visit Mama Luciana too? Don't just stand there like an idiot, come over here!"

However, Ekalos certainly didn't notice Luciana's thoughts at the moment.

She only felt that Luciana's embrace was very warm and soft, with the unique fragrance of a mature woman mixed with a hint of alcohol, which made Ekalos feel like a steam princess about to explode, with white mist about to spray out of her head!

Therefore, in order to avoid this outcome, Ikaros did not hesitate to pull in foreign aid at all costs to escape from this embrace after wailing.

Of course, she could hear Luciana's teasing, but for a 16-year-old innocent child, do you know how destructive this sentence is? !

Even if it's just teasing, it's too embarrassing!

Anyway, Icarus couldn't stand it, especially since Luciana's mother and Arturo almost shared the same face, which made Icarus unconsciously more crazy...

Ahem, anyway, Ikaros just can’t stand it.

I can’t do it. I don’t have the strength and determination to face this embrace, you know.

Fortunately, her foreign aid was still useful. Arturo watched her mother perform the "husband in front of her" act on her.

Although he knew that the other person was his mother, when he saw the woman with the same face as his hugging Icarus and teasing him until he blushed, Arturo inexplicably wanted to hold his cello and perform a free tango for his mother.

I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to let my mother see that my musical skills had improved.

Therefore, Arturo went forward without hesitation and tried to separate the two men.

The same was true for Federico. Although he was watching the scene at the door, he had no intention of getting involved and just watched it quietly.

But when Ikaros called for help, even when facing Luciana, he fulfilled his duties as a younger brother very well, and walked over and tried to separate the two.

Luciana also realized that it was almost the limit of Ikaros's endurance, so she did not continue to hold the girl, but directly let go of Ikaros, who was blushing and had a slightly overloaded CPU.

He looked meaningfully at Ekalos, who instinctively protected Arturo's arm and hid beside him after being freed, and felt even more satisfied.

Looking at his daughter and then at Ekalos.

The more I looked at it, the more satisfied I was, and I was just about to arrange a wedding.

However, Luciana knew that the time had not come yet, so she just buried the satisfaction in her heart temporarily, and then looked at her nephew Federico, who originally planned to separate her and Icarus.

Luciana seemed to have changed her expression, completely losing her overly cheerful look just now. She smiled gently and said hello in a reserved and gentle manner:

"Good evening, Federico, I'm glad you came to see me."

The speed of his expression change made Federico's expressionless handsome face stunned for a moment, and Ekalos, who was still shy, was so shocked that he felt a little unfair about the different treatment from Luciana.

As for Arturo?

Arturo just gently protected Ekalos, and he was already used to his mother's changing expressions.

Although Federico was stunned for a moment, he responded politely and calmly to his aunt's greeting:

"Well...good evening, Aunt Luciana."

But just after greeting Luciana and before she could nod, Federico continued to teach her in a serious tone:

"Although I know that you and Sister Ikaros were just playing around, out of respect for her, I hope you won't cause trouble to Sister Ikaros again in the future."

"Ah...hahaha, auntie knows. I will be more careful next time..."

Facing the gaze of Federico's calm silver eyes, Luciana felt a little stressed.

There was nothing wrong with the first half of Federico's greeting, but the second half, coupled with Federico's rather serious tone and expression, made it difficult for Luciana to maintain the gentle smile on her face.

I could only smile awkwardly to keep my expression from being tense.

Although she knew that there should be no accidents in the child's growth.

But looking at Federico who was so serious and straightforward, Luciana still felt a little desperate and sad.

"When did this child become like this...?"

Chapter 29 There is someone missing in our family, who is it?

However, Federico's straightforwardness made everyone feel a little ashamed.

But overall, apart from some of Federico's straight-man remarks, Luciana's ward was both lively and warm.

Although Luciana always liked to tease Icarus in front of Arturo, making the latter blush, and making her daughter look at her with unfriendly eyes.

Then he made some bold remarks, which almost made Arturo lose control several times.

But there is no doubt that such interaction and warm atmosphere are undoubtedly warm and beautiful in this cannibalistic land.

After all, you have to know that many people in this land do not have a complete and normal family.

Not to mention such an interaction with a hint of warmth.

Many people don't dare to imagine such a scene in their dreams.

Therefore, although the few people seem to be incompatible with each other on the surface, and there is also a Federico who is very good at destroying the atmosphere, in fact everyone, including Federico, cherishes and enjoys this warm atmosphere...

Wait...is someone missing in this family?

... Never mind, I can't remember, he shouldn't be a key person. (Convinced)

In short, no matter how noisy or dull the atmosphere was, the atmosphere among the people was still very warm.

The nurse who was planning to inspect the ward outside the door did not disturb them for a while, but stood outside the door and watched quietly, with a warm smile unconsciously outlined at the corners of her mouth under the mask.

However, the nurse could not forget her duties, so she knocked on the door while the others were chatting, and called out softly with a hint of envy:

"Ms. Luciana, I'm here to check on the ward. Can you ask your family to open the door for me?"

"Oh? It's the nurse. Federico, please go open the door."

Hearing the familiar voice, Luciana, who was drinking water while sharing interesting battlefield stories, put down her cup, smiled and asked Federico to open the door.

But at this time, Ikaros moved first.

"I'd better go."

With that, Icarus walked past Federico and went to the door, opened it, and greeted the nurse with a smile:

"Hello, nurse. Are you here to make rounds? It's so late. Thank you for your hard work."

"Oh, what a cute child who can talk. I'm not your sister, but you're so sweet. Luciana is so lucky."

How could the nurse not feel good when being praised by the cute silver-haired girl?

Although she appeared to be rejecting, you could tell she was really happy by the way she pinched Ikaros's little face and the smile on her face.

Although Ikaros was a little unhappy about having his face pinched, he didn't say anything.

As for why she took the initiative to open the door, the reason was actually very simple: she simply didn't trust Federico.

What if Federico asks the nurse to show her ID as soon as she opens the door and refuses to let her in?

It was so embarrassing and humiliating, and it was definitely something Federico could do.

That's why Ekalos took the initiative to walk over from Arturo's side and open the door.

It was just like how Federico had just smoothed things over after the awkward silence.

It can be said that Ikaros has paid too much for this family...

"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as you say, but I want to ask, how long will it take for me to be discharged from the hospital?"

Luciana was obviously pleased with the nurse's words, and her expression softened a little, but at the same time she also asked the question that she had always been concerned about.

Although she knew that staying in the hospital would help with recovery from injuries, it was too boring. Luciana might have been able to tolerate it before.

But now she obviously couldn't stand such a boring atmosphere, especially after having fun with the little ones for so long today, she didn't want to stay here alone.

——She also wanted to write a book about the stories from the front line and publish it. She had no inspiration staying in the ward.

"Well...According to the attending physician's advice, you can go through the discharge procedures, but you need your family's guarantee. You also need to come every month to change the dressings. You should be almost fully recovered in about three or four months."

"So, Ms. Luciana, are you planning to be discharged from the hospital?"

The nurse looked at Luciana and thought for a while, then picked up the tablet with the patient's information and looked at it, then asked Luciana.

Although staying in the hospital is the best option, this is Rutland and we respect the choice of every citizen.

And although Sakota's physical fitness is not the best in Terra, it is definitely among the best.

Besides, Luciana's legs were only pierced by fragments from the explosion. There was no Originium infection and no possibility of sequelae, so if Luciana wanted to be discharged from the hospital, it would only take a word for her.

"Is that so? Then I will be discharged from the hospital..."

"No, mother. Are you going to go to the battlefield with this body? Although I support your choice, I don't want to watch you die."

Luciana stroked her chin and clapped her hands, ready to leave the hospital, but Arturo interrupted her decision.

She knew very well what her mother was planning. She was afraid that she would pack her luggage and leave a letter for the front line less than a month after being discharged from the hospital.

Although Arturo is willing to support and help his mother fulfill her wish.

But that didn't mean she could watch her mother die.

Arturo had learned from others that the bomb was only a wall away from his mother.

This time my mother was lucky and nothing happened.

But what about next time? And the next time?

Arturo hopes that his mother's good luck will continue, but she also understands that good luck will not always protect the same person.

She didn't want to lose her mother too early, and she didn't want her mother to encounter misfortune before she could realize her wish.

"Uh... okay, I get it, Arturo."

"But I still want to be discharged from the hospital. How about you put me in little Ekaros's house? With her watching over me, I definitely won't sneak away..."

Luciana felt nervous when her daughter's obsidian eyes stared at her. Realizing that her little plan had been discovered, she gave in in time.

But after calming down, he still wanted to leave the hospital.

She really didn't want to stay in the hospital. It was too boring. It would be nice if she could spend time with little Ekalos every day.

"No, you promised me the same thing last time, but you left Rutland the next day."

"Eh? This time you have to trust me, your mother, Arturo. This time I really won't run away..."

"I find it hard to believe you, Mother."

"But……"

So, Arturo and Luciana started a fierce argument in the ward over whether they could be discharged from the hospital.

Seeing this, the nurse smiled gently.
