Thalia had never flown alone on a plane. Her health condition made her uncomfortable during flights, and friends and family had always tried to dissuade her from flying. All that, and she surprisingly flew back Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

on her own.

How could she risk her own health like that?

Thalia felt a slight sense of relief when she finally heard the concern in Lucas' voice.

"Lucas, I thought you didn't care about me at all! Quinn has some urgent matters, so I came alone. Aren't you going to pick me up at the airport? It's been so long since I returned to the city, and I have no idea how to find you..."

Lucas' frown deepened. He could not understand why Thalia would do something so risky. What if something had happened to her?

"Stay where you are. I'll come over right away."

Lucas quickly drove to the airport. He was worried that something could have happened to Thalia while he was on his way there. It would be disastrous if she failed to seek help in an unfamiliar place. As Lucas got out of the car, he spotted Thalia standing at the airport.

"Thalia."

She looked up happily. As Lucas approached, she eagerly skipped over and embraced him.

Before Lucas could reprimand her, she took a deep breath in his arms and looked up at him cutely. "Lucas, I missed you so much. It feels like an eternity since we last met, even though it's just been a short time."

Once Lucas confirmed that Thalia was truly okay, he pushed her away and patted her shoulder. "The cheek of you to say that. Do you know how worried you made me just now?"

Thalia pouted. "But I missed you. You're so busy with work, so you can't fly to see me often! Plus, it's been years since I last came back here. Sometimes I do miss the place where I grew up, you know. Now that I'm back, you don't have to fly to Molomia for me. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Seeing that Thalia still had not grasped the seriousness of the situation, Lucas held her and said sternly, "You need to tell me or your family in advance the next time you're coming back. You're not allowed to do this again! What if something happens to you on the plane, and there's no medication? How am I supposed to face your sister if something happened to you?"

Thalia's face crumbled along with her tone. "I get it. It's all about my sister. Would you even care about me if it weren't for my sister?"

Lucas' expression truly darkened then. He would not even be alive if it were not for Thalia's sister saving his life back then. It was one of the reasons he had been taking care of Thalia all these years. Realizing Lucas' deep respect for her sister, Thalia stuck out her tongue in apology. "Fine, I'm sorry. Can we go now? I'm getting tired, and I haven't even visited Grandpa and Grandma yet! I was in so much of a rush that I didn't get them any souvenirs. Can you take me to the mall to pick out a couple of gifts?"

Lucas became somewhat hesitant at the mention of taking her back. "I can't take you home now. I need to make a quick stop at the hospital."

Thalia was taken aback. She grabbed his hands and checked him over. "Why do you need to go to the hospital? Are you injured? Lucas, are you sick? Why didn't you tell me?"

Lucas gently freed his hands. "I'm not the one who's sick. It's Melody. I mentioned it on the phone last time."
