“Do you still love Larry?” Abelyn asked seriously.
“Yes, I do,” Joan replied.
If we truly are fated to be together, we will be together in the end regardless of how many obstacles we encounter...
“I really envy you, you know?” Abelyn said with her cheeks puffed up.
What's there to be envious about? That I have a homewrecker causing havoc in my marriage?
“Don't be, it's exhausting for me...” Joan's voice was filled with fatigue.
Abelyn gave her a light tap on the head and asked worriedly, “Hey, Joan? Are you all right?”
Joan simply shook her head and kept quiet.
The two of them fell asleep at some point, and they were woken up by the heat from the morning sun the next day.
Joan looked incredibly weary as she stretched and let out a lethargic yawn.
Abelyn leaned in close to Dustin's ear and shouted, “Wake up!"
“Ahh!” Dustin jumped to his feet instantly and looked around with a blank expression on his face.
“What's going on?” he asked anxiously.
“Nothing, it's time to go. Come on, we have a flight to catch!”
It wasn't long before the three of them made it to the airport.
They had donned disguises before entering for fear of being recognized by Della's men, and they were right to do so as her men were in every corner of the airport.
Joan patted Dustin on the back and asked nervously, “What do we do now, Dustin?”
“Be very careful, and don't panic.”
