Chapter 842 - Landon's Anxiety

Landon sneakily left the group of fogies before they turned on him.

He was also a little bit surprised that Old man Willow and granny Maggie finally made their feelings known publicly.

Even a blind person could see that they had something going on.

It was about time that they put the show on the road.

Well, everyone could see it apart from their squad members who were constantly bickering with each other.

Their case reminded him of the Capulet and Montague homes in Romeo and Juliet.

Except now, there wasn’t any lousy ending, and their fights weren’t that bad.

It was just bickering and bragging about who was better.

Of course, they also had competitions amongst themselves.

But as always, their bodies didn’t allow them to do too much.

Once, they had a walking competition to see who can trek the Northeast without getting tired.

They left their buildings and planned to head for the Main Audience hall.

To get there, there were several routes that they could use, but the shortest way was to bypass five other buildings and several massive fields, fountains and roads.

They liked doing competitions like these to prove that they could be Landon’s boss.

And at times, both parties would meet Little Linda, Momo and the rest to convince them that they were indeed the strongest.

The whole thing was utterly ridiculous, but there was nothing Landon could do about it.

Whenever he tried to stop them, they would say that he was looking down on them, or that he thought he was better than them.

So he just gave up and let them be.

Arguing with them would undoubtedly give him more headaches.

And he wasn’t ready for that.

.

Landon shook his head wryly and waited for Lucius in his office.

They were scheduled for an appointment tomorrow within one of the government buildings, alongside the Caronian ambassador and several others.

He wanted to first discuss some matters before attending the meeting the next day.

So he was waiting for Lucius.

And while he waited, his mind drifted somewhere else.

Earlier on, he was supposed to go to the fashion show alongside Mother Winnie and Mother Kim.

But unfortunately, his mom was feeling a bit under the weather.

He wanted to stay as well, but she told him to go, while Mother Winnie and Lucius stayed by her side.

So he couldn’t help wondering about the issue at hand.

Before seeing the old fogies, he inquired about her but was told that she was okay and was too tired to see him.

So he gave up on seeing her then.

But now that he was back, he wanted to inquire about her condition again.

Of course, he wouldn’t wake her up.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the duo before him sternly.

Anyone who saw this would think that he was the parent and they were his children.

He crossed his hands over his shoulder and angrily.

"Mother, were you planning to hide it from me?"

"No, little Landon.

How can I?

I came here with your father to tell you instead."

Landon’s raging heart cooled down a bit and sighed from relief.

It would’ve truly pained him if she chose to hide whatever it was away from him.

Everyone had secrets, but when it came to health, the way they knew, the better prepared they could be.

And if there was no present cure for whatever it was, then he would just have to make one.

After all, he had the system with him.

And he didn’t for one minute believe that there was any illness that was far beyond the system’s knowledge.

So he was ready to crush whatever it was.

Thankfully, they decided to tell him about it now rather than later.

As they say: The early bird gets the most worms.

.

Landon gulped two bottles of water anxiously before steadying his turbulent heart.

Mother Kim just rubbed his shoulders as if comforting him, while also feeling warm inside.

It was funny.

She was the one who was ill, yet, her son acted like he was the one who needed help.

Which mother didn’t like such a warm and filial son?

Lucius only passed Landon paper towels, water and anything else that he needed while staying quiet.

He too had acted like this earlier on, so he understood his pain.

Landon cracked his fingers and tried to lift his spirits.

Alright, he was ready.

Now, they could hit him with everything that they’ve got.

"Mom, just say.

I’m ready."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Landon said while grabbing her hands affectionately.

His mother needed all the support she could get.

"Little Landon."

"Yes, mother?"

"I’m pregnant."
