When Jens and the sisters left Imperial Capital, Baby Zetty and Finn went to the airport to see them off. As they watched Jens and the sisters depart, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them. They did not bid their farewells as if they knew this would merely be a short time apart.
However, after Jens entered the boarding gate, he still could not help but turn around slowly.
The scene he witnessed was Baby Zetty standing there akin to a stone sculpture, looking at him without so much as a blink. Tears were streaming down her beautiful eyes.
"Jens," Baby Zetty called out silently.
Jens muttered something silently.
"Zetty, even if we're worlds apart, I'll miss you.
Remember to come home."
Zetty nodded.
As Jens' figure disappeared into the airport, Baby Zetty cried out and fell into Finn's arms.
"Brother Finn, do you think Jens and I will see each other again?"
Finn comforted her, saying, "You will. Once we hear any sort of news, no matter how far away we are, I’ll send you home."
Baby Zetty nodded at him sorrowfully.
Jay and Angeline felt incredibly sad seeing their son and daughters’ reluctance in parting ways.
Angelina's eyes were incredibly red as well. She raised her gaze to look at Jay and asked in a puzzled manner, "Does Baby Zetty have to leave, darling?"
Jay smiled and comforted her. "Every child is akin to a kite, Angeline. Baby Zetty has grown a full set of wings, so leaving her by our sides won't do her any good. She belongs to the medical world, her patients, and herself. She doesn't belong to us alone."
Jay glanced at the children next to him and said meaningfully, "It’s not just Baby Zetty but Robbie, Jens, and our daughters too. They're all dandelions and will be brought to all sorts of places by the wind. Just like the seeds we've cultivated, they each will withstand wind and sun in a new place. Whether they grow into either a vigorous tree or ivies, that would be up to them. As for us parents, the only thing we can do is give them our blessings."
