Loraine returned to the Trevino family's home. Watching Alastair and Adrienne sitting on the sofa playing with Abraham, it made the two siblings really envious.
They had never enjoyed such a lovely atmosphere before. The only thing they could ever see at home was their parents quarreling.
"Hansen, Loraine, the both of you are back! Come on, let's play a game." As Adrienne spoke, she walked over to hold Hansen's hand to bring him inside the house.
He looked at her in admiration.
Loraine waited for Everleigh to come back to inform her that she would be leaving the next day.
"You're leaving so soon?"
"Well, since there's no longer anything in this city that's important to me, staying here will only make me feel sad." Loraine's eyes teared up a little. She would really miss everything about the city, but she still had to go. After all, there was nothing left that was worth staying for.
Everleigh's eyes dimmed. "Where do you want to go next?"
"I want to go overseas. I have an aunt who's been living abroad. Over the years, she has been constantly in touch with my mother. If I go there, there's at least someone I can rely on. Besides, my mother left me with quite a lot of money, enough for Hansen and I to live on." Loraine had already figured out that as long as she left Ocpeace City, she could live in peace for the rest of her life.
At that moment, Everleigh finally realized that Loraine was no longer that little girl with dirty braids.
She had become a young adult, and she could already make her own plans.
"Okay then, let me send you off when you leave."
"Thank you, Aunt Everleigh." Loraine was sincerely grateful for her. During that period of time, she had been busy helping her. If it wasn't for her help, she really wouldn't know who else to look for.
She would remember her kindness for the rest of her life.
When Loraine and Hansen left, Theodore and Everleigh brought Adrienne along to bid them farewell.
Adrienne took out her favorite toy and gave it to Hansen.
"Hansen, when you become an adult, remember to come back and visit us."
"I sure will." He nodded gently. He felt rather haggard.
Alastair was much more steady. He gave Hansen a gentle hug and said, "When you come back in the future, do look for me, okay?"
"I promise you, I will. Alastair and Adrienne, thank you." Hansen's eyes clearly showed that he was very unwilling to leave, but he had no other choice.
Loraine told him about many things the night before, and he finally knew what was going on. However, he was too young to make a decision.
When he grew older, he would definitely return again.
Loraine looked at Everleigh and said, "Thank you so much. I'll give you a call after I settle down over there. However, please don't tell my father about anything. I don't want to see him anymore."
Everleigh nodded. She knew what to do.
Hansen was very reluctant to go, but he had no choice but to follow Loraine through the security checkpoint. Shortly after, they boarded the plane and it took off.
The four of them looked at the plane slowly disappearing into the sky, with indescribable sorrow in their hearts.
"I really hope they can come back soon," Adrienne muttered, with tears in her eyes.
Everleigh patted her head and comforted her, "Cheer up, sweetheart. I'm sure they will be back very soon."
She believed that when they came back, everything would be different.
Loraine's departure didn't cause much sensation. Although Wilson tried to dial her number, the call just wouldn't connect. Even when he went to look for them, there just wasn't any sign of them anywhere.
He wondered if it was Xavier who had hidden the two of them.
