"It was the kids...?" Luca was surprised, not expecting that it was actually the kids who discovered it first.

"Will they be mad at me?" Luca could not help but ask. She had lied to them, after all.

As an adult and their mother, she had always taught them not to lie, not to deceive, and to be honest and kind.

However, she had deceived the children from the very beginning.

"No, don't think about that. Since finding out your true identity, they've been worried about you, especially Rainie. She's worried that you might be facing some difficulties. She's also afraid that you would suddenly leave again," answered Luke.

Suddenly, Luca remembered the night when the rumors first came out, Rainie was very worried. She was afraid that she would not be able to see Luca the next day if she fell asleep...

Her heart softened at the thought of the kids worrying about her, and it subtly ached.

"I think we shouldn't tell them about having another sister for now. Children shouldn't bear too much. When we arrive home, I'll open up to them and admit my identity. But I'll also ask them to keep it a secret. I don't want them to worry about another person," said Luca.

If Lanie and the others knew that they had a younger sister in the hands of those bad guys, they would certainly worry.

Therefore, Luca wanted to keep it a secret at the moment. After rescuing Nyla, she would confess to them that she was their younger sister.

"Okay." Luke agreed with Luca's plan. As parents, their top mission was to protect the kids, not to have the kids worrying alongside them.

Lanie's maturity would influence his younger siblings. Luke hoped his children could be happier and not resemble him.

The others said Lanie was like a little adult. Old Master Mallory also said that Lanie was exactly like him when he was a child.

Luke's personality was shaped by the environment.

Lanie did not have to become another Luke Crawford.
