After taking the reins again, I handed over the entirety of Medsafe Liyah Inc. to Addrion's capable hands. Though it retained its name, it was a completely new company.
I gave the boot to every last employee that the Dawson clan had brought on board.
Caleb remained as the General Manager, settling into Medsafe Liyah Inc. as a technical shareholder, aiding Addrion in steering the company.
The day the handover was completed, Addrion, after years away, finally crossed the threshold of his long-missed home.
When that door swung open, I witnessed a scene that could melt a heart of stone.
His wife froze solid at the sight of Addrion, a full five minutes of stunned silence before erupting into heart-wrenching sobs. Their embrace and tears were touching for us.
Especially me, thinking they were finally reunited, but what about me and my little boy? When would he return to my arms?
After sorting everything out in Goldenvale Town, I, along with Carl and Helga, Brenda, Hannah, and more, made our way back to Silverdale City.
Actually, my dad was worried sick about Carl and me, and the kids were about to start school in a week—I had to bring Fidelia back from Goldenvale Town.
But none of us could have foreseen the tumultuous turn of events that would arise because of Fidelia Dawson.
But that's a tale to tell slowly, in due time.
Back in Silverdale City, my parents fussed over Carl's injuries, which had improved significantly. Proudly, he declared to his grandparents, "Grammy, it doesn't hurt! I didn't cry at all. Mommy says I'm brave, a good baby!"
My mom, seeing his scar and hearing his brave words, teared up, "Oh, my poor baby! You’ve been through so much."
She cradled Carl, patting his back and searching my face for answers about my own son, the one with no news yet. I shook my head, my heart heavy.
She didn't press further, instead, she chatted with Carl, who clung to me, his hand gripping the hem of my shirt.
