Chapter 439: Back to North City
I believe in the whole destiny thing.
Fiona Croix’s words made me feel very emotional, there are some people that go around and around and always come back to the same place, like me and Walker Richter.
Once we thought we had to forget about each other, once we talked it out and couldn’t see the future, but he still came to me.
After I hung up the phone, I was alone for a long time, Walker Richter gently touched my cheeks, “I booked a flight back to Northside in three days, I know you miss your friends in Northside, and Martin Mo called me a few times.”
I’ve always wanted to go back, since the day I left, but I was afraid to.
It’s where my favorite people are, where my friends are, where I’ve lived for over twenty years and carried so much that I’ll have to go back eventually.
Walker Richter made this decision for me because he knew I was going back.
Knowing that Fiona Croix is going to get married, I can’t wait to go back, I always want her to be happy, she married in such a hurry this time, and I don’t know about this Zhou Chen, I worry that Fiona Croix is out of something to marry Zhou Chen.
In the days I didn’t go back, I actively cooperated with the treatment to control my condition, and also apprehensively asked Walker Richter about Zhou Chen’s behavior.
Although Walker Richter said that Zhou Chen had a good reputation, was a promising young man, had no bad habits, cleanliness and no scandal, I was still uneasy.
Back to the North City on this day, I packed my bags early, Pheobe Wilson came to my room and looked at my packed suitcase, “Really want to go?”
“Gotta go.” I looked at her and smiled, “Thank you for taking care of me all this time, I really appreciate it, you must come visit me in North City when you have time, and if I’m lucky enough to be alive, I’ll come to this town again.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m looking forward to your marriage to Walker, you’ll be fine.” Pheobe Wilson pulled out a gift bag from behind him, “It’s for you, may you have a safe journey and get well soon.”
“What is it.”
“Peaceful Blessings.” Pheobe Wilson said, “I asked for it for you at the temple the other day, I was supposed to give it to you before, but Gu Xuan delayed it, so I just remembered now.”
At the mention of Gu Xuan, I smiled badly and said, “You two are done?”
At that, Pheobe Wilson’s ears are red with shyness, “He’s still young, it’s just an impulse, he’ll know later that his choice today is wrong.”
“Later will be later, Pheobe, you’re the one who told me to cherish the moment, or at least not let yourself have regrets.” I hugged her, “I’m leaving, I hope you’ll be happy too.”
“Will do.” Pheobe Wilson curled his lips, “Gu Xuan said that when we have two more years of two people, we’ll go adopt a child, or have his big brother have more and pass one on to us.”
Passing on the family name was enough with Gu Chengzhong, Gu Xuan only needed to pursue his love.
Gu Chengzhong’s visit to the town should have been partly due to this, and as Gu Xuan’s older brother, he definitely had to worry about it.
Thinking about Gu Chengzhong, since I mentioned Yao Mubai that day, I haven’t seen him again, and I don’t know if he’s gone, or what, I asked Gu Xuan, and Gu Xuan didn’t know.
This is strange.
“Alva, it’s time to go.” Walker Richter urged.
“Okay, right away.”
After I said goodbye to Pheobe Wilson, Walker Richter carried the luggage and we went to the airport.
It was only a temporary parting, and I was sure we’d see each other again in the North Side.
The news of our return was not communicated to the Richter family in advance, nor to Jane Hasis, and it was Emily who picked us up when the plane landed.
Emily took the suitcase to the trunk, took the initiative to sit on the main driver, I sat in the back with Walker Richter, from off the plane to get on the car, he has been holding my hand, for fear that I ran away.
He asked me, “Back where?”
I was stunned and quickly responded that he was asking if he was going back to the Richter family or the Hill family.
I hadn’t been in touch with Jane Hasis since I left and thought about going back to the Hill family first.
Walker Richter had wanted to go back with me and I told him to go back to the Richter family without him.
I had been in town for so long and came back suddenly, Jane Hasis didn’t know what was going on, so I let Walker Richter walk me to the door for the time being and let him go.
I stood at the door and took a few deep breaths before reaching out to press the doorbell, after ringing for a long time, Jane Hasis’ voice came out from inside: “Sister Li, why don’t you go and open the door.”
I heard Jane Hasis’s footsteps toward the door this way, the heart immediately tensed up, I was thinking about how to open with Jane Hasis to explain where to go during this period of time, how to say the first sentence, Jane Hasis has opened the door.
Seeing me, Jane Hasis froze, she stared at me for a long time, as if she had a feeling of dreaming, pinched herself fiercely and muttered, “I’m not dreaming, right, Alva is back, my daughter is back.”
Sister Li jogged over from the kitchen and was surprised to see me, excitedly saying, “It’s the young lady who’s back, it’s the young lady.”
Sister Li’s words just fell, Jane Hasis face sank, loudly said, “You this dead girl still know to come back, you’re not going to live over there to go, then you go to live ah, still come back to do what, it’s better to die outside ….”
Realizing that the words had gone too far, Jane Hasis quickly pooh-poohed the words, “A hundred and one, a hundred and one.”
Looking at Jane Hasis, my eyes were slightly hot, “Mom, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Jane Hasis pulled me into the door and hugged me, “You dead girl, it’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.”
My return made Jane Hasis very happy, after her emotions eased, she kept staring at me, as if she wanted to make up for what she hadn’t seen during this period of time, and see enough at once.
I smiled, “Mom, look at me, I didn’t lose a single piece of meat, I’m back in good shape, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Looking much better than before.” Jane Hasis asked me, “Is it better?”
She was referring to my illness.
I shook my head, “No, but Walker hired a doctor to treat me and there has been an improvement, and there is a lot of hope for a cure.”
There has been an improvement is true, and there is a lot of hope is false.
Jane Hasis was relieved, “That’s good, that’s good.”
Jane Hasis pulled me to chat for a while, let me quickly go back to my room to rest, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner by herself, saying that she wanted to make soup for me.
My room Jane Hasis had always had someone clean it, everything was still in its original position, untouched.
Looking at everything familiar made my heart feel a lot better.
I squinted for a while before calling Fiona Croix, “I’m back.”
Upon hearing that I was back, Fiona Croix’s side excitedly said that she would immediately come to find me.
Sure enough, within half an hour, I could already hear the sound of a car downstairs.
The one who came is not only Fiona Croix alone, Martin Mo and Hill Yi also came together, looking at the familiar faces, I raised the corner of my mouth and greeted, “Long time no see ah, you guys can really come at the right time, just in time for dinner.”
