Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 72

The black Prius stopped at the front of the apartment. Behind them, another car had also stopped. She did not leave their car, instead two men from the other vehicle came out and got in the apartment.

After a while, the men came out of the building carrying the luggages she prepared and loaded them in their car.

Their convoy drove to the airstrip they used three years ago and boarded a small plane. It chartered them to Nevada, and from there they took another plane going to Saffron City. They will then board one of Ellis Inc.’s fishing vessels docked in Meridian Port that would bring them to the neighboring port of Coast City.

The trip was more arduous than normal, but this is the only way they could escape Justin’s radar. In 24-hours, she had once again stepped to Coast City after three long years. She left her children with the Lewis’s then drove to the hospital to see her father.

“Mom…” she softly called Carol, who was sleeping on a chair beside Conrad’s bed.

“Shen, you’re here!” she said, opening her arms to embrace her daughter.

“How’s Dad?” she asked, looking at the pale burly man lying on the bed. She’s not used to seeing her father looking weak and helpless.

“The Doctor said, he’s lucky to have escaped this stroke. He did not lose any of his senses or function. He just needed to rest and adjust his diet and to reduce his stress.”

Serene bit her lips at the sight of her father. Thankfully, he’s alright.

Conrad stayed in the hospital to recuperate for three more days before being discharged. Knowing that Serene and her children have come back for good gave him an energy boost.

Arriving home, as expected, Felicity ran towards her grandfather and jumped into his welcoming arms. She squealed in laughter as Conrad kissed her chubby cheeks and tickled her sides.

Pax, meanwhile, walked to his grandfather and gave him a peck on his cheeks before returning to play with his Legos. Having children at home lifted their home’s energy and atmosphere.

“Grandpa, Mom said you’re sick. Are you feeling ouchie somewhere?” Felicity asked Conrad. Her round eyes scanned his face while her tiny arms tightened around his neck.

“Grandpa is better now because you’re here,” he answered, chuckling.

“And me too, Grandpa?” Pax asked, leaving his Legos for a moment. His round eyes looked at Conrad with expectation.
