Chapter 1825: Chapter 1828: She protects Ben Lucas, Ben Lucas protects her
For a mother, strength comes naturally, for a mother, toughness is inherent.
At times, the potential that erupts from the human body can surpass its limits.
Just like now, even though she is eight months pregnant, the moment Lily sees Ben’s swollen little face, all the strength in her body bursts forth.
Lily is pushed in, flanked by two burly bodyguards on each side.
But in her surging anger, she has no time to think carefully. With lightning speed, she reverses her hand to clasp the acupoint on the wrist of the person on her right.
"Ah—" the bodyguard roars, feeling a piercing pain through his entire hand’s bones and joints.
Lily didn’t train for three years in Europe for nothing.
She’s petite, unlike the burly and tall Europeans; to defeat her opponent, she must rely on agility and skill.
But now, with a big belly, mobility is naturally impaired and agility can’t be relied on.
Fortunately, Lily has long studied the human skeletal system and acupoints.
Where to hit to cause pain and where to press to cause soreness, she understands everything clearly.
The bodyguard on her right clutches his left wrist, veins bulging on his forehead from pain, and half kneels.
The bodyguard on the left reacts and throws a heavy punch straight at Lily’s face.
"Mother, watch out —" Ben’s stern little face flashes with a chill.
With almond-shaped eyes just like Aidan Lucas, he keeps a close watch on Lily.
Luckily, Lily still has her foundation; even if pregnancy causes slower reactions, as long as her belly isn’t hit, her limbs can still manage.
She turns her face to avoid the attack, and while the opponent is unable to retract his punch, she raises both hands aiming at his chin.
With all her might, she slams into his chin fiercely.
The burly bodyguard feels a jarring impact on his chin, momentarily seeing stars, with his head rattling.
All his movements unconsciously slow down.
Lily seizes the chance, knocking him down with just a few moves.
And all of this happens in an instant.
After dealing with the two, she rushes to Ben without hesitation, hugging him tightly.
"Ben, don’t be afraid, mommy’s here..." With Ben’s small body protected in her arms, Lily urgently unties him.
Ben is so small, having his hands tied behind must have been very uncomfortable for him.
Lily feels heartbroken, but at this moment, she can only think about protecting her precious child.
"Lily Redington, did you really think you could take your son away by yourself?"
Just as Lily releases Ben’s hands, a hard, cold object presses against her head.
She doesn’t even blink, tearing off the rope, only concerned with checking Ben’s injuries.
Thankfully, aside from a slightly swollen cheek, there are no other scars anywhere else.
After confirming Ben’s condition, she finally lifts her head to look at Evelyn Lucas.
As for the gun pressed against her head, Lily pays it no mind.
"I never thought I could take Ben away by myself."
Her belly is so big, taking down two unexpectedly might be possible.
But to fight her way out with Ben, particularly with the opponent armed, is impossible.
"Hmph, good that you know." Evelyn Lucas isn’t dumb, clearly understanding the implication of Lily’s words.
She puts away the gun, and before Lily can react, she swings a slap across Lily’s face.
"Slut, now in my hands, let’s see how arrogant you can be!"
"Mother..." Ben’s face changes quickly, and before Evelyn Lucas can react, he suddenly rushes towards her, extending his fists, landing a heavy punch on her stomach.
"You are not allowed to hurt my mother!" Ben attends Military Academy and has also learned military boxing.
This unexpected punch almost brings tears to Evelyn Lucas’s eyes.
