They went to A Country first to send the gifts for Angie and Wendy. The skin care products they gave to Wendy were all purely natural. These were safe for pregnant women.
That evening, the whole family gathered together to discuss the matters of the upcoming trip to Mando Bay.
The couple stayed at the Li family overnight and then took Sally to C Country by plane.
Mr. Si and Kevin were happily playing games with Daniel on the lawn when they came back.
Hearing the noise of the landing plane before the mansion's gate, one would know that it was the family of three.
Mr. Si hobbled with a cane while Kevin wheeled the stroller in which Daniel was leaning back.
The family enjoyed a happy reunion. Harry told the chef to prepare more dishes for the dinner.
Also, they opened a bottle of red wine from Bulgaria. Now, the people coming from four different generations were under the same roof to spend a wonderful time.
Happy moments would always pass by quickly. Though Lola was a bit unwilling to leave for Mando Bay right now, her appointment with Jordan was due.
Reluctant to part from her family, Lola kissed the three kids and went to the airport with Jordan.
Jordan was looking forward to going back early to be with Wendy. His wife has been pregnant for over eight months and the expected date was coming soon.
Harry, who seemed to have been busy recently, did not show up. He had once more gone out early and came home late.
Reckoning that he was dealing with cooperative projects again, Lola sighed with a little disappointment. Matters in the company had piled up so fast.
After an eight-hour flight, they arrived in Yu Island.
Yu Island was a southernmost small country, adjoining to M Country and Green Cold Country.
Having stayed in Yu Island for a night, and they went to Mando Bay by train.
Before arriving at Mando Bay, Jordan gave Lola a gun for self-protection. They had to be extra careful nowadays, especially with the kidnappings that happened in the family lately. He told her that in Mando Bay, if you didn't kill those who tried to hurt you, you would be killed by them. That's how dangerous it was there.
They reached the other end of the desert after half an hour's ride. The vast desert seemed like it was already at the edge of the world.
It was already noon when they arrived at Mando Bay.
Mando Bay was different from the busy cities. It was a small town where the tallest infrastructure was only a five-story building.
Outside the town, there leaned a big stone with an inscription in red font. It read: Mando Bay. It welcomed people into the town.
The stone was surrounded by bright red spider lilies, which were said to be planted on the road to the netherworld according to legend. They looked like a carpet of blood from a distance.
They grew on the shore. When they bloomed, their leaves could not be found. When the leaves were green, the flowers faded. The flowers and the leaves never ever met each other.
They went forward a few steps and found a scattering of gravestones covered by dust. There were air-dried bones at the side.
No one could tell if these were once humans or animals.
There was a lane ahead. Alongside the path were bamboo groves, in which Lola accidentally saw a dead body!
She was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hands. Jordan cast his eyes in the direction of Lola's gaze and patted his sister on the shoulder. "Let's move quickly."
And they quickened their pace. A small town came into their sight after about five minutes of walking.
