Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Canceled Flight

Feeling disheartened, I entered the gate and walked to the boarding area. In times like this, I wanted a

partner to go home with me, as did my parents.

I tried to console myself that the urgent phone call was why he had to leave. I called Ivanna to let her

know where I was. Then I settled into the airport lounge while waiting for boarding.

Matthew had only been to my hometown three times. The first time was the year we graduated. He came

to meet my parents after our relationship became official.

The second time, we wanted to start a business but did not have enough capital to get started. We went to them for help.

The third time was when we mortgaged my parents‘ house to get a loan. After it was approved, he

insisted on taking me home to thank my parents.

We did not return home together after that. The reason was always the same–he was busy.

My parents were always understanding, knowing the challenges of starting a company. They said it

required dedication and hard work. The first two years were hectic, working tirelessly.

It started with the two of us and grew. We persevered for four years, then I became pregnant.

I only visited home once, and my parents came to Foswood after I had Ava. We rarely got together,

making one excuse after another.

This time, I’m going back because of a stroke. I felt bad because I had not been a good daughter. I should

have cared for my parents the way they cared for me. What have I done for them?

With each passing minute, I became more overwhelmed. My anxiety level rose, but the flight was

repeatedly delayed.

The airport grew more crowded, and the sky grew darker. It was already 8 p.m.

Despite my flight being only four hours long, I had waited seven hours and still hadn’t boarded the plane.

Finally, at 10.40 p.m., the airport made an announcement. They had suspended all flights because of the

impending hurricane.

Upon hearing the announcement, I froze. How could this be?
