When Rosa finally chased after Joe, the airport was bustling with people, and he was nowhere to be found. She couldn't bring herself to issue a statement.
Even if she did, it would be to announce her engagement, and she wanted everyone to celebrate her happiness.
Checking the time on her phone, she saw that her flight was still over four hours away. Initially, she had hesitated.
If she could find Joe, perhaps he would give her a promise that would ease her mind. Then, she could comfortably stay in Murida to recover, especially since she hadn't probably rested since her surgery.
She could feel that her health wasn't great, and the thought of being on such a long flight made her anxious.
But whenever she closed her eyes, she couldn't shake the image of the way Joe had looked at her just moments ago—his gaze was cold and distant. In that instant, she felt an overwhelming need to follow him.
If it came to it, she could find a hospital in Jipsburg to stay for a few days.
…
Skylar received a WhatsApp message from Joe. He said, "I'm heading back to Jipsburg today. Where is our home?"
The words "our home" made Skylar's eyes well up with tears.
Skylar wondered why he suddenly sent her this message to him and mentioned the words "our home".
Without hesitation, she sent a video call to him, but Joe didn't pick up. She wondered if he was already on a plane.
Determined, she decided to seek out Gloria. "Grandma, Joe is going back to Jipsburg, and he asked where our home is. This means he's acknowledging his identity."
Gloria was drinking water when she heard Skylar's words. Before she could swallow, she sputtered, spraying water everywhere. She quickly wiped her mouth and the front of her shirt, unable to hide her excitement. "Let me see! Hurry, let me see!"
"Here, Grandma." Skylar held out her phone.
Gloria's eyes filled with tears as she read the message. "Good, good! That's my grandson. He realized it so quickly and headed back to Jipsburg.
"But wait—he must be planning to do something, aiming to catch some people in Jipsburg off guard. We need to go back. Hurry and book flight tickets for tomorrow. If there are flights available, we're going."
