Chapter 341 Incompetent

From the dead of the night until the early hours of the morning, two tiny figures could be seen walking down the illuminated streets.

“Lucas, how much longer does it take to get there? I’m tired…” she trailed off as she sank to the floor. Sweat beaded on her forehead as she tried to catch her breath.

Lucas glanced at the map on his watch and noticed there were a few more kilometers before they reached their destination.

Walking for two hours without stopping was considered difficult for the two children.

However, they did not mind it. As long as their parents would stop arguing, they were willing to do anything.

Lucas took out two water bottles from his backpack. He handed one to Camila and said, “Drink some water to replenish your energy!”

The brother-sister duo gulped down a few mouthfuls of water as they sat side by side.

After some time, Lucas moved to squat in front of Camila. With his back facing her, he said, “Hold on a little longer. We’re almost there. Come on, I’ll give you a piggyback ride.”

His mother had taught him well since he was young. She always reminded him that Camila was a girl, and as her elder brother, he had to take good care of her.

Camila wiped the sweat off her forehead. Exhausted and sleepy, she climbed onto her brother’s back. without any hesitation.

Since Lucas was not used to giving people piggyback rides, he almost fell when he got up. It took him a while to regain his balance.

Because of that, the two tired children, who were feeling miserable about the journey, laughed.

“Don’t drop me, Lucas!” Camila wrapped her arms tight around Lucas’ neck as she giggled.

Lucas tightened his grip on her thighs. “Camila, don’t… don’t grab on so tight! L… I can’t breathe!”

Camila quickly let go and hugged Lucas’ shoulders instead as she leaned against his back.

“Lucas, hurry up. Otherwise, we won’t be home in time.”
