Sasha finally returned home with her family after being away from Avenport for more than a year.
They had gone through countless ups and downs as a family throughout the past year. Thus, Sasha was overwhelmed by tidal waves of emotions when she set foot in her hometown again.
“Sha! We’re over here!”
Shortly after they walked out of the arrival hall, they saw a young man waving at them with all his might. An elderly man was right next to the young man.
They were none other than her cousin, Lance Wand, and her father, Rufus Wand.
When Sasha saw Lance and Rufus, she cast everything aside and rushed in the direction of the ones she held dear in mind with her eyes welling up.
“Dad, I’m finally home!”
She wrapped her arms around her father after being apart from him for more than a year. As a result, she couldn’t stop herself from weeping.
Similarly, her father couldn’t keep his emotions to himself anymore. He started trembling with tears of joy streaming down his cheeks when he thought he had lost his daughter for good a year ago.
“I’m glad you’re finally home!”
Even Sebastian couldn’t help but tear up as he heard the conversation of the father and daughter duo.
After all, it took them a lot of effort for their family to reunite and return to the place they considered their home.
It took them some time to regain their composure and snap out of the overwhelming session.
The little ones greeted their grandfather, “Grandpa, did you miss us?”
“Of course! I miss all of you so much I have a hard time sleeping!”
Rufus leaned over and wrapped his arms around his grandchildren.
The boys were relatively obedient. On the contrary, the little girl ran her chubby fingers through her grandfather’s hair and urged, “Grandpa, have you not taken good care of yourself when we were away?”
“Huh?”
Rufus couldn’t believe the seven-year-old little girl was such an observant sweetheart. Subsequently, he felt another prickling sensation behind his eyes.
He had aged over the night when he heard that his son-in-law had gone missing and was heartbroken to know that his daughter had fallen off a cliff, dead.
On top of that, his grandchildren were nowhere to be found. He thought he had lost all the ones he held dear over the night.
He was just glad he hadn’t resorted to anything extreme such as joining them in the afterlife when he was at the worst in life.
