The next morning, Walter and William got up from bed early. They had bought tickets for a luxury cruise. Just the night before, Walter had given Lizbeth one of them.
“Lizbeth, it's been a long time since you accompanied me on my trips. This time, let's have a good time over the next two days.” Walter handed the tickets to Lizbeth.
Fearing for Jared's safety, Lizbeth followed Jared to the city. Therefore, if she was to join Walter on the trip, she wouldn't be able to find Jared.
“Grandpa, I—"
Even though she wanted to decline, she didn't know how to convey it.
“What are you hesitating for? Don’t you want to go on a trip with me? Are you resenting me because I'm old?” Walter asked with a glum expression.
“No, No.” Lizbeth waved her hands frantically.
“If not, you should just come along with us.”
Walter grabbed her without giving her a choice.
Soon, all of them arrived at the harbor which was packed like sardines. While there were many ships anchored there, one was exceptionally massive. Evidently, it was the luxury cruise that Walter and his companions were going on.
As tickets for the cruise cost a bomb, their boarding gate wasn't as crowded. Moreover, all the passengers were prominent characters and were dressed in expensive clothing. After all, ordinary folk couldn't afford to go on such a luxurious cruise.
After having their tickets checked and boarding the ship, Lizbeth kept turning around to see where Jared was.
However, with the crowd numbering in the thousands, trying to look for him was like finding a needle in the haystack.
“Lizbeth, what's wrong with you today? Are you looking for someone?” Walter asked when he saw her turning around repeatedly.
“It's nothing. I was just taking a casual look.” Lizbeth eked out a faint smile.
Standing on the ship's deck and watching it cast off gradually, Lizbeth was filled with concern for Jared.
