Chapter 321 Lucy Diagnosed with Leukemia

"Mom!" he shouted, "Good evening!"

"Good evening, Sam. It's dinner time."

"Okay, I'll go wash my hands!"

He dashed off immediately.

Penelope scratched her head, sensing something was off. Why was Sam acting so weird?

But she couldn't put her finger on it.

After washing his hands, Sam zoomed past her straight to the dining room.

Penelope finally realized what was wrong.

Why was he still wearing a mask at home?

At the dinner table, Sam lifted his mask just enough to stuff food into his mouth.

His behavior was baffling.

"Sam."

"Yeah, Mom?"

"Take off your mask."

He coughed deliberately. "No, this way I can prevent infections."

Without engaging in an argument, Penelope reached out to take off his mask.

Sam pressed down hard. "Mom! What are you doing?"

"Take off your mask and let me see your face. What are you hiding?"

Sam pouted and stopped struggling.

The scratch on his cheek was obvious.

"What happened?" Penelope asked, "Did you get into a fight?"

"No!"

Penelope didn't believe him. "Don't lie to me."
