Kyle gave him another reassuring pat on the shoulder. “I’m sure you’ll become a great fighter, Juan. The Hidden Masters won’t even be a match for you by the time you get back!”
“It’ll probably be your turn next, Kyle. Let’s have a spar when we meet again!” Juan said with a smile.
“Sure!”
John helped load his suitcase into the trunk. “Come on, Juan, it’s time to go.”
“Alright.”
Juan’s phone started ringing moments after the two had gotten into the car.
He saw that it was an unknown number and hesitated a bit before answering, “Hello? Who is this?”
“Have a safe trip, Juan!” A familiar voice was heard sobbing on the other line.
Juan froze. Mommy?
He stared at his phone in disbelief and saw that the call was still ongoing. Afraid that he was dreaming, he pinched John hard on the arm.
John yelped in pain. “Ow! That hurt, Juan! Why’d you do that?”
“Am I dreaming?”
John frowned. “No, Juan. We’re on our way to the airport right now.”
Nicole’s voice came on the phone again. “It’s Mommy, Juan! You’re not dreaming! This is Mommy’s new phone number! You can save it to your contact list on WhatsApp!”
Oh, my god! It really is Mommy!
Juan could barely contain his excitement. “Where are you, Mommy? Should I go see you?”
