Right before Vania gave him a nod, she recollected the disaster he had created in the kitchen when he tried his hand at cooking, and she quickly changed her mind. "I think you can just help me out a little."
Hanson chuckled at her hurried response. "Okay."
When a couple worked together, nothing was tiring, and soon, the breakfast was ready, and the children had woken up as well.
Once again, they checked the things Hanson and Vania would need on the trip and were only assured when they saw that everything was prepared.
James said to Hanson seriously, "Protect yourself and Mommy."
"Yes, you're the eldest, so we're leaving the younger brothers under your care now." As he regarded the children, he was filled with pride for them, but he also felt a little sorry, and as he ruffled Morales and Morgan's hair, he couldn't come up with the words to express his feelings.
After that, Morales and Morgan gave the other lucky charm to him. "You and Miss Vania each have a charm. Be safe."
Hanson nodded resolutely and placed the charm on his person. This was a charm they had been carrying with them ever since they came to the Luke Family, and it was Anette who got it for them.
Together, they finished breakfast as a family and started packing the things into the car. As Vania stood by the door, she gave the children a deep, affectionate look and turned to leave with determination in every step she took.
On the other hand, the five children didn't say anything, too, but they had already prayed for her and Hanson countless times in their hearts.
"I would like to visit Jude before leaving."
"Sure," Hanson said agreeably and drove to the hospital.
Jude was asleep on his belly, and he had his eyes closed as though he was sleeping.
"How is he doing now?" Vania inquired in concern.
"Everything is normal, but he's still unconscious." With a round-the-clock monitoring device installed on Jude, April could check on his vitals at any time.
Vania nodded and gave Jude a loving peck on his forehead. "Wait for mommy." Finally, she got up and said to Hanson, "Let's go."
"Okay."
Hanson had already booked a chartered flight that could fly them straight to the city where The Broad Peaks were located, and Larry and Linda showed up together outside the ward with everything prepared.
Vania was confused when she saw them at the entrance, so she questioned curiously, "What are you guys doing here?"
"We're going together with you," they answered simultaneously.
"No," Hanson and Vania declined simultaneously, too.
"You have to stay at the company because Eddie might use this opportunity to cause trouble," Hanson said.
"President Luke, I've made all the preparations according to your plans, and if any changes occur, Mr. Scott will come over immediately." Larry analyzed the situation for him, "Maybe we can use this chance to draw our enemy out of their den. In addition, I can be your help next to you. This way, we're hitting two birds with one stone."
Actually, Hanson had thought about this before, but he wasn't confident about what Eddie would do next; that was why he didn't implement it.
"President Luke, there is more strength in numbers. So, don't hesitate to bring us along," Larry added.
"Exactly," Linda said as well. "Bring me along, Boss."
After Vania and Hanson contemplated the matter deeply, they finally caved. "Alright, then."
"Let's go now."
Right after, the group took a ride to the airport, and after more than eight hours of flight, they finally reached Gondalwelt, where The Broad Peaks were located.
"We'll rest for a night in Gondalwelt. Then, tomorrow morning, we'll travel by helicopter to our destination," Hanson said.
With the helicopter, they needed only three hours to reach The Broad Peaks, but it would take more than ten hours by car, which would waste too much time and energy.
His planning received the approval of Vania. "We can use this chance to gather some information in Gondalwelt."
They needed to gather more information; only then could they increase their success rate in persuading Gordon to take a look at her son.
