Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Vania‘s voice trembled as she spoke, and when she hung up the phone, she felt a mixture of happiness and worry. She was happy to be able to find her child at long last after such a long time, but she was worried at the same time. Eastland was a remote part of the country in the first place, and Farville was a critically backward mountainous area. She wondered if her child could eat well and dress in warm clothes while being stranded there. Would the family really abuse him like Melanie said? Oh, my dear boy! I‘m coming to you now! After wiping her tears away, she hastily packed up her stuff and said to the nanny, “Theresa, I have to go to Eastland immediately, so I‘ll leave it to you to look after our home. Just let Leo and me know if there‘s anything.”

Theresa nodded. “Please rest assured, madam. I‘m always here.”

Just then, the three kids gathered around them while rubbing their sleepy eyes. A worried Jack asked, “Mommy, why are you leaving in such a hurry?”

James knitted his brows in thought. “Is there news about our missing brother and sister?“Vania hugged the three of them. “That‘s right. I‘ve gotten news about your little brother, so I have to take a trip to Eastland, which will probably take a few days. Be sure to be good at home, or I‘ll be worried.”

The three kids were both surprised and delighted to learn that there was news about their little brother, “Don‘t worry, Mommy. We‘ll be good at home, so please be sure to protect yourseli.”

Vania replied, “Yeah, I will.” Reluctant to part with them, she hugged them one by one and kissed each of them on the forehead before leaving in a hurry while dragging her suitcase.

Meanwhile, Hanson arrived at Galaxy Corporation with Larry at the appointed time.

Upon seeing the man himself, Linda, Vania‘s assistant, immediately walked up to him nervously and apologetically. “Greetings, President Luke. I‘m Linda Taylor, our boss‘ assistant I‘m very sorry, but something very important came up this morning, and our boss is now on a flight to Eastland. Before she left, she specifically asked me to apologize to you. Also, she‘ll compensate for the losses if there‘s any, but the signing of the agreement may have to wait until she comes back upon which time she‘ll personally pay a visit to your company to apologize.”
