Early the next morning, Thalassa packed her bags and set off with her mother.
Their destination was her mother’s hometown of Rivertown in Eldoria.
Thalassa had looked up Eldoria online and found it to be a place of picturesque beauty- with rolling hills, serene waters and lush greenery. It seemed like the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Besides, it was Evelyn’s birthplace, and perhaps being there would lift some of her mother's spirits.
They had booked plane tickets for the trip.
After a two-hour flight, they arrived at Eldoria Airport.
Holding her mother’s hand, Thalassa walked to the curb to hail a cab, planning to head to the hotel she had booked.
Traveling light with only a few changes of clothes, Thalassa believed in the ease of minimal baggage—after all, they were on vacation, and there was no sense in being weighed down by unnecessary items.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel. Thalassa set down their luggage and took a moment to rest before turning to Evelyn, “Mom, there’s a park nearby. Let’s go check it out.”
Back in Starhaven, Evelyn always worried about bumping into Bruce or other acquaintances.
But there was no need for such concerns in Rivertown. They were surrounded by strangers, free to explore without hesitation.
Evelyn had been cooped up in Starhaven, avoiding public gatherings and seldom stepping out, likely for fear of running into Bruce.
Remaining in such a stifling environment wasn't good for anyone's well-being.
A walk outside could help alleviate some of the pent-up stress.
Evelyn nodded, “Sure, that sounds nice.”
Arm in arm, the mother and daughter made their way to the nearby man-made park.
The park was a triumph of greenery, with vibrant trees and fragrant flowers, and the lake water was crystal clear.
With a hint of surprise, Thalassa approached and realized it was Callum!
“Mr. Gordon, what are you doing here?” Thalassa asked in astonishment.
Callum turned around at the sound of her voice. Seeing Thalassa, his somber eyes lit up with recognition.
“Thalassa? What a coincidence!” Callum said with a warm smile, then turned to greet Evelyn.
“Hello. Mr. Gordon, what brings you to Eldoria?” Evelyn knew Callum. He had helped them out of a tight spot before. She was grateful to Callum. Despite just being an acquaintance of Thalassa’s, he had been willing to help.
“I was referred to a specialist here in Eldoria, someone with a reputation for treating complex bone fractures. I’m here for treatment and thought I’d enjoy the scenery as well,” Callum explained with a gentle smile.
Hearing that he was here for treatment, Thalassa felt a twinge of guilt. It was because of her that Callum had broken his leg and his wrist.
Thalassa felt terribly sorry for Callum.
