Daisy said, "I’ll go with you."
Jolie didn’t respond, simply turning and heading toward the restroom.
The restroom was spacious, and Jolie entered one of the stalls, locking the door behind her.
Daisy waited near the sinks, glancing at her watch. After five minutes, her brow furrowed.
“Jolie?” she called out.
From inside, Jolie answered faintly, “My stomach hurts.”
Daisy stepped closer to the stall. “Is it serious?”
“It shouldn’t be,” Jolie replied. “I’ll be fine in a bit.”
“Alright, I’ll wait outside,” Daisy said, though her expression showed growing impatience.
The restroom wasn’t in the VIP lounge, so it was busier and less pristine than Daisy was used to. She stood with an air of distaste, her irritation evident in her posture.
“Excuse me, whose luggage is this? One of the bags seems to be damaged,” an airport staff member said, approaching with a phone displaying a photo of the suitcase in question.
Daisy glanced at the screen, her frown deepening. “It’s mine. What happened to it?”
“I’m not sure,” the staff member explained. “It suddenly came apart. Could you come check it out?”
Daisy hesitated, glancing back toward the restroom.
She felt uneasy leaving, but the damaged suitcase contained some valuable items. If something was missing, it might delay the flight.
“Jolie, when you’re done, come find me,” Daisy called into the restroom.
“Alright,” Jolie replied, her voice calm.
Daisy reluctantly exited the restroom.
Two minutes later, the stall door opened, and Jolie stepped out.
As she smoothed her clothes, the airport announcement began broadcasting the boarding call for her flight.
Jolie walked straight toward the boarding gate.
Daisy, standing a short distance away, quickly called out, “Jolie, your luggage!”
