"That's odd..." Sarah whispered.

Anne did not bother asking about Lucas because Anthony was sitting right next to them, but withher and Sarah gone, it was only natural to assume that he had returned to whatever he was doingpreviously.

The plane took off and darted into the sky.

For a moment, Anne was startled, not because the take-off was rough as a private jet was extremelysteady, but because the helicopter accident she had been in had left a trauma in her.

She tensed and grabbed onto the armrests tightly.

"Don't be afraid. It's going to be okay. This isn't like a helicopter.” Sarah grabbed her hand.

She nodded, but still struggled to relax.

Anthony turned around to stare at Anne as she nervously tried to take deep breaths and calmherself, before saying, "Don't sit by the window."

Anne froze at the realization that she had embarrassed herself in front of Anthony.

"Come. Take my seat instead.” Sarah pulled her up.

After changing to a seat that was further from the window, she slowly began to regain hercomposure, but was still upset. Sarah thought that it was because she was terrified of flying, when intruth, she was concerned about Nigel's safety.

"Do you want to sleep for a while? Time passes faster that way. I won't sleep. It's my first time flyingon a private jet, so I want to enjoy the view."

"Okay. Don't go walking around.” Anne lowered her chair and laid down, worried that Sarah wouldsee the tears in her eyes, she turned her back against Sarah.

Sarah took a blanket from the drawer and placed it on Anne. "Relax. I will just sit here and look.”

As soon as Anne closed her eyes, Anthony said, "there's a room at the back.”

"It's fine." She kept her eyes closed and sank into sorrow, wondering who was with her father in thehospital.

“Dorothy and Bianca, I guess,’ she thought. 'Dad is going to be fine. He was in the car and did not flyout of the car, so he's going to be fine. It took me so long to finally replace my dad, how could theytake him away from me? The gods can't be so cruel..."

Sarah's eyes darted around, taking in the extravagant interior of the private jet when she sensedAnthony's eyes on her.

She looked over and only saw Anthony's side profile as he looked outside the window.

'Am I mistaken?’ She thought. She looked at Anne and confirmed that she was still asleep.Anthony's phone vibrated and he took a glance before answering.

"Anthony, where are you?" Bianca said while sobbing, "My dad has been in the operation room forso long. I'm so scared...”

"Kathryn is there. It's going to be okay."

"Can you come here to keep me company?"

"I'm on a plane right now.”

Sarah overheard the mention of Kathryn and wondered if someone was ill. Judging from Anthony'sunusually gentle tone, she had guessed that he was speaking to Bianca.

'ls Dorothy dying?' She thought. “That's great. I sure hope she can die and be reborn into a betterperson in her next life. That way, Nigel will be free of her!"

After expressing her fears and misery on the phone, Bianca hung up and walked up to Oliver."Where did Anthony go? I forgot to ask.”
