It is meant to be a great trip but something unexpected happens which turns it become worse. After Eunice leaves, her phone is not turned on. Ryan insists to take care of the child the whole day until Sunday night then only he drives back to J City.

Without waiting for him to figure it out what to do next, an unexpected piece of news comes when Adair is passed to Abby.

“Lily and Rex are flying back tomorrow.” The two adults stand outside the car and talk after placing the child in the car.

After hearing the news, Ryan feels startled as if he thinks that he hears something wrong. “What?”

“She’s coming back.” Seeing that such an indifferent also feels startled after hearing the news, Abby couldn’t help but think her reaction the moment she heard this news several hours ago. Her eyes turn red. “You’re right, Lily is... coming back.”

It is just a simple sentence but she couldn’t even finish it calmly.

Thinking of the time when she felt anxious as she had no news about Lily, she couldn’t help feeling excited and looking forward to it.

They are best friends. If something has happened to her, asides from her family, Lily would be the one who worries about her the most. She believes that Ryan feels the same.

Looking at the man who’s having a deep thought, Abby knows that she needs to give him some space. “When she comes back, she will contact you. I will get in the car. Lily’s parents are still waiting for me.”

Ryan slightly nods his head, considering it as a greeting while looking at the white Audi A6 leaving from his vision.

He drives his car back to his apartment in J City. He has not come back for a long time. The room is somehow clean since he has ordered someone to clean it before he comes back.

He does not turn on the lights as there are some moonlights shining from outside. He walks towards the cabinet and takes a bottle of whiskey. He does not add anything but just a few cubes of ice.

He loves the original taste of the whiskey. This kind of bitter and mellow taste fascinates him but he is never an alcoholic.

For people like him, if he relies on alcohol too much one day, then he is not far away from his death.

Therefore, he always reminds himself that no matter when and where he needs to stay awake.

When a person has been awake for a long time, he must have felt tired sometimes that he would allow himself to drink a glass or two.

For instance, at this moment when he thinks of that woman’s face that he has not seen for almost half a year while all the absurd things that have happened in this trip, he just wants to be drunk even just for a while.

...

The moment when Lily decides to come back, Rex immediately clears all the bills and finishes all the procedures in the hospital in Country Y. There is nothing wrong with her body; her wound recovers very fast except for the scar which needs further treatment in the future.

On the plane back home, Lily is also accompanied by Karl. He has been quite some time in overseas and has pushed asides all his medical operations and works. Rex knows everything and he will never forget about it.

Looking out of the windows of the plane, it is filled with blue sky and mostly white clouds. Lily’s thought turns complicated when she thinks of J City. She couldn’t help but feeling uneasy with the thought of a child whom she completely forgets in that unfamiliar city.

Asides from her accelerated heartbeat and the restlessness, there is nothing else she can describe as if it is an instinct.

When Rex feels the emotional fluctuations of the woman besides him, he quickly moves his attention from his laptop to her pale face. He reaches out his hand and pulls down the shading board on that window. “Don’t think so much, get some rest.”

His calm voice slowly reaches into her ear then her heart, and she instantly feels stable. When Lily turns her head around to look for the voice, she slowly falls into deep sleep. Surprisingly, the anxiety in her heart gradually dissipates.

After few months of staying together, she has gotten used to the man being around her. Especially after going through so many hardships together, the feeling is even strong when she is returning to this city.

“Rex.” she suddenly calls his name as she thinks of something.

The man turns to look at her. A single tone comes from his nose. “Eh?”
