Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 67

After a month of resting, Doctor Reed gave Serene the green light to travel. The twin’s heartbeats were strong, although their ultrasound showed that her placenta was still not in the correct spot.

Doctor Reed also recommended her fellow who practiced in New York, who could continue with Serene’s treatment. After getting Serene’s approval, Doctor Reed forwarded her medical records and got Serene an appointment.

She and her parents decided to bring her to New York to continue her pregnancy and raise her children. Carol would take care of her during her pregnancy while Conrad would accompany them to get them settled down, then would return to Coast City to attend to their business.

While she was packing her luggage, Mary barged into her room and quietly helped her in folding her clothes.

“I’m breaking up with Dylan,” she blurted, making Serene look at her and stop what she was doing.

“It’s for the best. I mean, how can I keep your whereabouts a secret? It’s for the twins’ safety,” she explained, her voice breaking.

“Mary, you don’t have to do that. I know how much you love Kurosawa. You don’t need to sacrifice your happiness for us.”

“But Justin might find out about you—”

“I don’t think he’d bother looking for me, Mary. Didn’t he say he wanted me out of his life?”

Mary continued to look at her friend and quietly helped her with her luggage. Unable to control the sadness she felt from her friend’s imminent departure, she hugged her from the back.

“Mommy bear, I’m gonna miss you,” she sobbed on her back.

“Me too, Aunt Mary,” Serene said, facing her friend to hug her back.

The following day, the Lewis’s accompanied the Ellis’s to the airport. Each one hugged Serene tightly.

“Take care of yourself, Dear,” Martha said as she tightly held Serene.

“We’ll visit when we can, Shen,” Albert said before giving her a hug.

“Al, will you help Dad with the business?” Serene whispered to his ears.

“I will. You don’t even have to say it.”

“I’ll miss you, Mama Bear. I’ll visit when I can. Take care of our babies, Ok?”

“I miss you already,” Serene said and looked at her best friend through misty eyes.
