Charlotte stood up and gave Dr. Garie a heartfelt hug. "Thank you for taking care of me during this time..."
Dr. Garie smiled and said, "Perhaps you'll have a dream on the plane back home and remember everything from the past."
Charlotte smiled in response.
Upon learning that Charlotte and Joe were leaving, Evelina also felt a sense of reluctance.
She tightly held Charlotte's hand and earnestly said, "If you ever have the time, you must come and visit us."
Charlotte nodded solemnly. "I will, for sure."
The day after the treatment ended, Joe and Charlotte flew back to their home country.
After disembarking from the plane, Charlotte instinctively looked around but didn't see any sign of Ben or Anna.
"Were Ben and Anna... not coming?" Charlotte furrowed her brow and asked Joe. Joe shook his head. "They have an important performance at school today. Did you forget?"
Charlotte then remembered that Ben and Anna had mentioned this performance about a week ago. They couldn't make it to pick her up.
A sense of disappointment washed over Charlotte.
Upon realizing she had unintentionally forgotten about her two children, she was determined to make it up to them. She had even shipped a whole box of gifts for them.
But she never expected that both of her children wouldn't have the time to come and pick her up.
After a moment of fleeting dejection, Charlotte regained her composure. "Well then, let's go."
Watching Charlotte, who had mustered her strength to hide her disappointment, Joe couldn't help but smile faintly. He followed Charlotte into the car.
