Chapter 56 -56: Are you asking about this Jade Token that my sister gave me?

Jennings Family.

Donovan Jennings went to the police station to help with some statements and handle the aftermath of eight people fainting in the teaching building.

He returned home later than Lucas Jennings.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lucas bouncing over energetically, “Brother Donovan, how did it go?”

Donovan gave him a cool glance, “Of course, it was covered up. Otherwise, you guys playing CS in the abandoned teaching building and all fainting there would have gone viral online by now.”

Lucas gave him a big thumbs up, “That’s my brother! It’s hot outside, right? I think it’s pretty hot inside, too. The air conditioning isn’t cool enough…”

Lucas complained as he exaggeratedly tugged at the collar of his T-shirt.

Donovan almost immediately noticed the Jade Token hanging around the young man’s neck, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of a smile or not, he said,

“That T-shirt looks nice, newly bought?”

Lucas blinked, not caring about what he was asked, boasting exaggeratedly,

“What? Are you asking about this Jade Token on my neck? Yes, Scarlett gave it to me, it’s just like the one you and Uncle have!”

Odessa walked over from the living room area and, hearing this, discreetly rolled her eyes.

Lucas had put on a show for her just before he got home.

She asked him, “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you stay at the hospital for a thorough check-up?”

Lucas replied, “Aunt, you’re asking what the use of this Jade Token is around my neck? My sister said it’s for protection, wearing it cures all illnesses. What check-up? It’s unnecessary.”

She couldn’t understand it.

Lucas had been giving Scarlett a hard time recently, yet now after a single outing, he seemed like a changed person.

And kept calling her sister!

Could he have fallen under a spell?

Fallen under Scarlett’s spell.

Donovan noticed Lucas’s deliberate showing off and leaned in to take a closer look, not forgetting to nod,

“Indeed, it looks just like mine, though the silver chain is so-so.”

Lucas perked up immediately, “Brother Donovan, don’t you have that red string? Give me one too, I’ll swap it.”

Donovan smiled meaningfully, “Not worried the red string’s too tacky?”

Lucas’s small face went stern,

“What’s tacky about it? The red string is a tradition, perfectly illustrating our Cathay Lands’ thousands of years of traditional, understated, implicit beauty. When it comes to the perfect pairing with Jade, it must be the red string!”

Donovan’s smile grew wider, after a while, he patted Lucas’s shoulder,

“Not bad, your brain came back with a sense of aesthetics. I’ll have someone bring you one later.”

With that, he headed upstairs.

Lucas stood there for a good long while before realizing it, almost blew his lid!

What kind of brother calls him brainless?!

When Scarlett Jennings returned from the hospital to the Jennings household, she saw Lucas sitting on the stairs in the foyer, holding her little Pretty, very diligently stroking its tail fur.

Earlier, Lucas couldn’t stop badmouthing Pretty, and now he was practically a fox slave.

When he saw her, Lucas had a moment of embarrassment, but quickly recovered, picked up Pretty the fox, and came over to her,

“Sis, you’re back? Oh, I saw it seemed lonely in your room, so I let it out to play.”

Scarlett felt a bit uneasy with this new Lucas, nodded slightly, raised her hand, preparing to take Pretty back from his arms, but Lucas dodged slightly and gestured toward the side chamber,

“Sis, someone’s looking for you.”
