At that moment.
On the other side.
Serena had already reached the airport and sent William a quick message.
"Sorry, something came up. I can't make it."
William replied instantly, "What happened?"
But Serena didn't respond.
She had to get through security.
She had to hurry.
Regardless of whether Aaron knew about the kidney donation or not, staying in Alderburg wasn't safe for her.
As long as there wasn't a second suitable match, Aaron would eventually set his sights on her.
Only by leaving Alderburg would she truly be safe.
On the plane, Serena couldn't let her guard down.
She watched her phone, observing each minute tick by.
"Miss," a flight attendant approached Serena, reminding her, "The plane is taking off in five minutes. Could you please turn off your phone?"
Serena blinked, "Sure."
Five more minutes.
As she powered down her phone, she glanced out the window.
Apart from a few ground crew members, the tarmac was empty.
The sun lazily bathed the runway in light.
Everything seemed so peaceful and calm.
Serena exhaled softly.
This time, she was finally leaving Alderburg.
She planned to visit Frontier City first.
She'd heard it was snowing there, and it sounded like a lot of fun.
After that, she could head abroad to Eldoria to experience a different culture.
Letting her mind wander, Serena closed her eyes, her expression gradually becoming relaxed.
In her ears, there was only the sound of the announcement.
"Dear passengers, the plane is about to take off... please fasten your seatbelts..."
Serena smiled slightly, basking in the pleasant sunlight.
Suddenly—
A shadow fell across her face, blocking the light.
Uncomfortably, Serena opened her eyes to see Victor standing there with a respectful expression, "Miss Sullivan, Mr. Vance has sent me to bring you back!"
