In the face of the impossible

Between two brick walls, half hidden behind a block of concrete, he saw it.
A little boy about a year old, sitting alone on the floor. His clothes were impeccable. A fine gold bracelet shone on his wrist, engraved with two initials.
H.D.
“Somebody rich,” Lucas murmured.
The baby raised his arms to him.
This simple gesture chilled Lucas’ blood.
A street child holding a well-dressed baby? Adults would not listen to his explanations. They would judge without delay.
However, the crying redoubled.
Lucas squeezed his fists. He knew this sensation in the chest: wait for someone who does not come.
Then he knelt down.
“Okay, I’m staying. »
When he gently touched his arm, the baby grabbed his shirt and buried his face against him.
