The little creature's performance was extremely convincing, squinting his eyes and looking in Lucas's direction, he said, "Little uncle, you sleep with me."
Will and Benjy, standing close by, naturally saw the embarrassing collusion between uncle and nephew, but Lucas was far away. Moreover, being really curious about the ghost, he hadn't paid much attention. Just as he looked over, he saw the creature collapse into Yigol Foster's arms, looking at her with eyes like a puppy that couldn't open its eyes, asking her to accompany him to sleep.
If there were few people who could soften Lucas's heart, the little creature was definitely one of them; she adored the little creature so much it was indescribable.
Before carrying the little creature down to rest, she went to the fridge and fetched ice cubes, tossing them to Yigol Foster and the ghost, gesturing for them to apply the ice to their faces.
