Suzy packed up and boarded the plane to Xandria with Dylan and Timothy.

Allen wanted to come too, but she wouldn't allow it.

Right up until they were about to board, he was still pleading. "Boss, just let me go with you!"

This trip was unpredictable—there was no telling if they would make it back safely.

Allen was genuinely worried.

"You need to stay and take care of Riley. We won't be gone long," Suzy said firmly.

Riley was already over five months pregnant—this was when she needed someone by her side the most.

No matter what, Suzy wasn't about to let Allen leave her behind.

But Allen still couldn't let it go. "At least let me see you off and come back after."

He barely ever been apart from Suzy on missions, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Suzy understood how he felt, and she was grateful.

"Allen, trust me. I won't let anything happen to myself. Just stay put and take care of Riley.

"Who knows? By the time I get back, she might be close to giving birth. And when that happens, I'm bringing my godson a big gift!"

Allen opened his mouth, about to argue again, but Suzy shut him down before he could get a word out.

"Enough. No more talking!"

Allen exhaled sharply, finally giving in. "Fine. But call me the moment you land."

"I will."

After making sure Suzy was set, Allen turned to Desmond.

"Des, you better take care of my boss and yours. Especially mine. If anything happens to her, you're answering to me."

Desmond knew exactly how he felt.

If their roles were reversed, and Dylan was the one leaving without him, he wouldn't be able to sit still either.

"You have my word. I'd put my life on the line for her. And don't forget, she's not just your boss-she's also mine. Of course, I'll take care of her."

Seeing Allen this reluctant to part ways made Suzy's heart ache.

Not wanting him to drag it out further, she playfully kicked him in the shin.

"Enough. Get back to your wife. And keep an eye on Diana and Elliot too. Make sure someone's watching them from the shadows."

With Allen still looking reluctant, but ultimately resigned, they finally boarded the plane.

To prevent Timothy from causing a scene on the plane, Suzy gave him a mild sedative.

Even though the hypnosis had been lifted, the poison in his system still hadn't been fully cleared, so he wasn't back to normal yet.

Just like before, he spent his days calling out for Charlotte.

After nearly twenty hours of travel, they finally arrived in Xandria.

It had been a while since Suzy had last set foot on this land, but her emotions remained the same as before.

The last time she was here, it was to hunt down the person who hurt Dylan.

And this time? The situation wasn't much different.

Waiting for them at the landing zone was Simon, along with Evangeline.

As soon as they spotted the group disembarking, they rushed over.

Evangeline greeted Suzy with a warm smile. "I'm fine. It's just the morning sickness—it's been pretty bad, but nothing serious. You don't have to worry so much!"

As she spoke, she and Simon reached them.

Simon's face lit up with joy the moment he saw his sister-it had been months since their last meeting.

"Where's Dad?"

After scanning the group and not seeing him, Simon immediately asked.

Suzy pointed toward the plane behind her. "I was worried he'd get restless during the flight, so I gave him Something to help him steep. He's still out."

She hadn't told Simon the full extent of Timothy's condition before this.

It was only when she decided to bring him along that she finally revealed the truth.
