Chapter 628 Running away from Home

The voice prompt came out of the navigation, reporting the end of the journey. Then fare was then printed out. Lucia paid the taxi driver and gawked at the dense rain outside. Noticing her hesitation and situation, the driver said, "Well, there are umbrellas at the back. You can take one."

Surprised, Lucia looked back and saw two umbrellas. Following a look at the rain outside, she said to the driver gratefully, "Thank you so much."

The driver said, "No problem, you can go. I think the rain will last for a while."

Lucia nodded, picked up the older one of the umbrellas, and slowly pushed open the car door. Obviously, Timothy and Janet had never experienced such heavy rain before, but it was

time for them to get off. Lucia gritted her teeth and let them walk in front of her. Holding the umbrella, she did her best to keep the rain out and keep them dry.

In such heavy rain, the small umbrella didn't help much. She could only keep the children's heads dry. By the time they arrived at the apartment building, they had been soaked

Feeling bad, she quickly led them to go upstairs.

While walking, she comforted them, "Don't worry, we're reaching home. We'll have a hot bath and have a good rest."

The two children sensibly nodded, neither complaining nor crying. She looked at them, feeling distressed and bitter. At the door, she squatted down and groped for the key. However

she felt nothing and groaned inwardly. How come it was not there? She often forgot the keys and had left one in the recess at the door. It had been time-tested. Why?

She squatted down and groped about once again. Still, nothing was there. A bad feeling instantly rose in her. Without the key, they would be homeless. It was raining cats and dogs

outside, and there was nowhere else they could go.

Lucia panicked and looked down at the two kids who were expectantly looking at her. She was overcome with bitterness, and her eyes reddened. She was such an unworthy mother. "Mom, what's wrong?" Timothy tugged at her clothes. His dark eyes were shining like obsidian.

Lucia gave a bitter smile. "Sorry, sweethearts, I didn't find the key. We have to find a hotel to stay in."

"I'm down with it."

"Me too."

Her children didn't complain. They were so sensible. Lucia sniffed, led them to go down, and came back to the entrance of the neighborhood. Surprisingly, the taxi driver was still

there. The car was parked under a tree. The window was open. He was smoking. When the three of them were seen coming out, he was both curious and amused. Lucia saw the taxi,

gave a helpless smile, and went over with the kids.

"Sit, please take us to a licensed hotel nearby." She needed a good hotel to accommodate her children. It would be safer for them.

The driver stubbed out the cigarette and rolled up the window. "Okay, let's go."

The car sped along the road. The rain still hadn't stopped. Before long, they arrived at the best five-star hotel in the area. Lucia paid the driver and led the children to the lobby. She went to the front desk and said, "Check in, please. I'd like to have a one-bed room with windows."

The receptionist nodded. "Your ID, please."

"Okay," Lucia said, fumbling through her purse.

However, there were only her bank cards and a membership card. Her head buzzed. She instantly realized something. Her ID was not her purse. It was in the bag she had left in West

Bridge

She bit her lips, looked up at the receptionist, and faltered, "I... didn't bring my ID with me. Can you help check the kids in first? I'll go and get my ID."

The receptionist smiled at her apologetically, "Sorry, ma'am, I can't break the rules."

Lucia opened her mouth, but her throat felt dry. She couldn't utter any sound. She was really in bad luck today. The misfortunes almost made her have a mental breakdown. It would

be fine that she suffered alone, but her children were still her. She was worried about their condition.

Not ready to give up, she tried again. "Could you make an exception for us?"

The receptionist apologetically shook her head. Lucia was at the end of her rope.

Just then, another voice came. "Hi, you can check her in with my ID."

Lucia trembled at the familiar voice. She bit her lips, looked over, and saw August sitting in a wheelchair. His dark eyes were fixed on the receptionist. The receptionist blushed at the sight of the dashing man just as she was about to ask for the ID, Zane suddenly stepped forward and handed her an ID card. The receptionist checked them in and gave Zane the

room card. He took it and hesitantly looked at his boss.

August turned to look at Lucia and said, "Give it to her."

Lucia was stunned and motionless. She hadn't expected to meet August when she was in such a sorry plight with her children. Tumothy and Janet recognized August.

After a moment of hesitation, Janet asked, "Uncle Charming, what are you doing here? Did you run away from home too?"

August was stunned. His eyes were inquiring when he looked at her again. Did the three of them run away from home? No wonder they looked so wretched.

His lips parted. He tried to say something, but taria spoke firstly, "Thank you, I'll transfer you the money."

August's arrival was godsent, but she didn't plan to let him know what they had been through tonight.
