Chapter 1018 Her departure
The hard solid wooden crutch fell on Anthony, the pain was clear, and the sound of beating was dull.
Anthony rolled his palms, and silently hugged the urn in his arms tighter, holding back without saying a word.
Paloma was kind and never scolded the juniors. This was the first time she beat Anthony herself.
But this time, not even Rebecca stepped forward to stop her.
Mavis was gone, and Rebecca also thought that Anthony should be beaten, and he should be beaten hard!
If it weren't for the fact that Anthony was her brother, Rebecca would have rushed up and slapped him twice to vent her anger.
Seeing that Paloma was tired from beating him, Lyra stepped forward and stopped her, "The deceased is gone. No matter how hard you scold him, it doesn't make any sense. Let's arrange a private jet as soon as possible and take the baby back to Crana."
Paloma wiped away her tears secretly, and stared at Anthony for a while, before ordering the bodyguard of the Callahan family at the door, "As Lyra said, make arrangements immediately."
"OK."
During the waiting time, Paloma finally had time to hold the baby for a while.
The little boy's eyes were wide open. His blue eyes were exactly the same as Anthony's, very beautiful. Because of his fair skin, he was like a little angel.
As soon as Paloma saw him, she remembered that Mavis sacrificed her life for him, and wept her tears secretly, feeling extremely sad.
The atmosphere in the ward was once depressed to freezing.
Faced with this sad scene, Lyra, who knew all the inside stories, had no other choice but to sigh.
...
A few hours later, Kane arranged for the Callahan Group's private jet.
Because it was the first time for the baby to fly by plane, Paloma specially arranged for the best childminder to accompany him back to Crana.
Anthony who was distraught was taken on the plane together.
Before they left, Lyra and Malcolm went to see them off in person.
Looking at the private jet gradually taking off, Malcolm smiled, "This is the first time that Anthony doesn't talk to you when you see him off in person."
Lyra also laughed, "He is busy grieving for his wife. After this, I think he will let go of his obsessions."
What happened to Mavis hit Anthony hard, and it might overwhelm Anthony's obsession with her.
This was a good thing for Lyra and Malcolm.
The private jet took off completely and quickly disappeared into the clouds in the sky.
Lyra took out her phone and sent a message to a strange friend who didn't leave a note.
[The baby has left safely with Paloma, so you can rest assured.]
In less than a minute, the phone quickly received a message reply. [Thank you and Mr. White for your great kindness. I will repay you with my life in the future.]
Lyra sent a [hug] emoji and said: [I don't need your life. Your happiness is the best reward.]
The two chatted for a few more words.
Malcolm walked side by side with Lyra, all the way out of the airport.
From time to time, he glanced at Lyra's screen and glanced at their chat records.
Silently, he was jealous.
His wife had never sent him such an emoji.
After holding back again and again, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Rara, you can hug her, so why don't you hug your husband?"
"What?" Lyra didn't understand.
Malcolm bent down resolutely, carried up his wife firmly, and said to himself, "It's okay. You don't like to hug me, so I'll just do it."
Lyra held back her laughter, hugged his neck tightly, and let him carry her away.
Leaving the airport in this posture was a bit too ostentatious, but there were not many passengers in the VIP channel, so it didn't attract much attention.
It wasn't until she got in the car about to go back to her residence that Lyra said, "The new projects of Lloyd's Corp International Branch are almost done. Honey, we have to find a time and put the return trip on the calendar."
Malcolm nodded.
Lyra added, "I haven't been back to Crana for almost half a year. Grandpa... hasn't seen you, Spencer, and Molly for a long time. The old man must be panicking."
She meant something, and then stopped.
When she spoke of Rudolph, the smile on Malcolm's face gradually disappeared, and he nodded again, then turned his face away to look at the scenery outside the car window.
Lyra knew what he was thinking and said no more.
Since the cause of death of Malcolm's parents was thoroughly investigated several years ago, Rudolph chose to help conceal the truth in order to protect his sons Ryan and Albert. After that incident, Malcolm and Rudolph had a gap.
In these years, apart from going to Rudolph's villa for reunion dinners during festivals and holidays, they almost never went there. Even in the White family, they rarely saw each other.
Lyra knew that Malcolm still cared about that matter, so she grabbed his palm and reminded him in a gentle voice.
"Last week, Charles called me and said that grandpa has recently started to suffer from severe presbyopia. He is already at that age, and the time is running out."
Malcolm turned pale.

After several hours of flight time, Callahan Group's private jet finally landed at Crana Airport.
Not long after, the group finally returned to Callahan Residence.
The baby's exclusive room had been prepared under the order of Paloma in advance.
All baby accessories and toys, even the crib, were the softest and most comfortable.
Suddenly there was a baby in the family, and a bunch of people were busy taking care of him.
Only Anthony locked himself in the study as soon as he came back, and no one knew what he was doing.
In the baby's room.
Rebecca was playing with the rattle, and asked Paloma worriedly, "Grandma, Anthony seems to have been hit hard, and he won't come out for dinner. Is something going to happen?"
Paloma got angry when she mentioned this. "He wants to take unnecessary pains and find fault for himself in the name of atonement. Let him go. Just ignore him."
Apart from taking care of the little great-grandson and Mavis's stuff, other people's affairs were not important now.
What was more, Anthony and Mavis had been married for more than a year, and the marriage had always been hidden from the outside world. They didn't even know that Anthony was married and who his wife was.
Thinking of this incident, Paloma felt that she owed Mavis even more.
She held Mavis's funeral grandly, showing the importance the Callahan family attached to Mrs. Callahan, and also disclosed the identity of Anthony's wife to the public.
For a while, they all knew that Anthony was married and had a child.
After Mavis's sudden death, people all over the country knew that she was Mrs. Callahan.
The discussion in the Callahan Group was the hottest one. Those colleagues who used to have a bad relationship with Mavis were stunned. Whenever they had free time, they gathered together and whispered gossip.
"Have you heard? A big news! Mr. Callahan is already married! His wife is Mavis who was kicked out because of the spy incident!"
"Yeah, yeah, when I saw the news, I was shocked! Mavis was too low-key. After working in the company for so long, she didn't reveal her identity."
"I also heard that she and Mr. Callahan have been married for almost two years, so isn't she already Mrs. Callahan before she joined the Callahan Group?"
"However, it is a pity that she passed away due to illness at such a young age, leaving Mr. Callahan to raise the child alone."
Someone sneered, "You don't have to worry about it. The Callahan family has a big business, and almost everything is the best. You still worry about whether he can't support a baby?"
Those employees who ridiculed Mavis or even looked down on Mavis before were now almost regretting her early death and admiring her low-key at the beginning.
When Zack entered the company, he heard a group of people discussing from afar, and heaved a long sigh.
