Chapter 468: Return to Lakina
The diary was burned to ashes in Quentin's hands, and a large part of his hand was also burned.
The searing and sharp pain slowly transmitted through his nerves, but it was nothing compared to the pain in Quentin's heart.
Quentin murmured, "The Black Family looks glamorous on the surface, but inside it's filthy and disgusting. From Bruno to Wade, there's not a single good one. A pure girl like Lova is wasted in the Black Family. I want to take her away from the Black Family. In this world, only I truly love and care for her. Only by being with me can she remain completely pure."
"If you really loved her, you wouldn't do this to her! Quentin, you're a complete psycho!" Jason shouted.
Quentin smiled, "Say whatever you want."
Jason gripped his gun tightly, "I live to kill you and Wade. Now that Wade is in hell, how can you not join him?"
The gunshot rang out.
The bullet pierced through Quentin's forehead, leaving a dark, bloody hole.
Quentin's body stiffened, and in an instant, he fell backward off the building.
A few minutes later, the sound of police and ambulance sirens came from below.
Jason fell to his knees, feeling as if all his strength had been drained, even his soul seemed absent.
He looked up at the pitch-black night sky, as if he could see that bright and pure girl again.
On that cold winter morning, Lova appeared before him, and at that moment, he thought he saw an angel.
"Lova." Tears streamed down Jason's face. After calling her name a few times, he shot himself.
When Michael arrived, he heard the gunshot.
He stood in front of Jason's body for a long time before silently leaving.
Three days later.
At the airport.
As Isabella and the others entered the waiting area, they saw Michael waiting there.
At Michael's feet was a suitcase.
Michael pushed the suitcase over, holding a ticket and documents in his hand. He said to Isabella and Seb, "Richard is tied up with something, so he asked me to go back to Lakina with you."
Isabella had already learned about Nina's miscarriage from Seb. She had spoken with the Jose family a few times during this period, but Nina was never around.
Worried about Nina's condition, Isabella asked, "When will Richard return to Lakina?"
Michael shook his head, "I don't know. The situation in Silvercrest is unstable right now, and Richard probably won't be able to return anytime soon."
"What about Nina?" Isabella questioned.
Michael handed over a letter to Isabella. "This is a letter from Richard. He can't reach Nina right now, so he asked you to take it back. Richard said he'll return as soon as he's done here."
"Okay." Isabella nodded, "I know everything Richard does is for me and Seb. Tell Richard not to worry, I'll help comfort Nina."
Michael nodded, "That's exactly what Richard wanted to hear."
The flight lasted over four hours.
When the plane landed, the sky over Lakina was clear.
The Jose family had arrived at the airport early to wait. As soon as Isabella got off the plane, she almost ran out.
She immediately saw the Jose family and Sweetie sitting in a stroller.
Sweetie was holding a rattle. When she saw Isabella, she waved her arms excitedly, her big eyes sparkling, and she giggled.
Isabella tried to hold back her tears and tentatively clapped her hands at Sweetie, "Sweetie? Want a hug from Mommy?"
Sweetie reached out her chubby little hands and tightly grasped Isabella's fingers, "Mommy, hug."
Isabella's heart melted instantly, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She bent down, picked Sweetie up from the stroller, and held her soft, sweet-smelling little body in her arms.
Sweetie obediently lay on her shoulder, calling, "Mommy."
Isabella gently kissed Sweetie's forehead, "Sweetie."
Seb gently embraced his wife and daughter.
The Jose family, along with Michael who was quietly watching from the side, all had tears in their eyes.
Michael looked at Kelsey, who was standing with Jack, holding Jack's arm, her eyes red as she wiped her tears.
Jack took out a handkerchief to wiped Kelsey's eyes gently.
During Seb's time in Silvercrest, Jack had been traveling back and forth.
Sometimes Jack would be gone for a week, and this time he had stayed for over a month.
Kelsey, being a clingy girl, was emotionally touched. With Jack being so gentle, she quickly kissed his cheek when no one was looking.
Just after the kiss, she felt a pair of eyes on her.
She looked over and met Michael's amused gaze.
Kelsey felt instantly embarrassed.
Just as she was about to glare back, Michael's phone rang. He greeted Seb and Zaire before turning to leave.
With Michael gone, Kelsey felt more at ease.
"Bella, welcome home." Kelsey gave Isabella a big hug.
Zaire took the suitcase and said, "Let's go home first. Knowing you were coming back, Mom has prepared a lot of delicious food."
"Yes." Kelsey chimed in, "Mom started studying recipes a week in advance, and Dad was even more exaggerated. As soon as he knew you were coming back, he started ordering cakes and drinks. I haven't seen them this happy in a long time."
As Isabella walked out with them, she asked, "Where's Nina? Why didn't she come?"
Mentioning Nina, the warm atmosphere slightly tensed.
Kelsey said, "Nina is waiting for you at home. You'll see when you get there."
Hearing this, Isabella felt even more uneasy.
It wasn't convenient to ask on the way, so she held her unease until they finally arrived at the Jose family home.
As soon as the car entered the yard, Isabella saw Nina.
Nina was standing on the steps, wrapped in a thick coat, wearing a beige knit hat, and a scarf around her neck.
Nina looked well bundled up, but as soon as Margaret got out of the car, she had a servant bring a pair of cotton shoes for Nina to change into.
Nina smiled wryly, "Mom, this is too much."
Margaret took the cotton shoes from the servant and placed them at Nina's feet herself, "It's not too much. If your heels get cold now, they'll crack when you're older, and it can be excruciating. Be good and put on the cotton shoes."
Nina could only smile helplessly and change into the cotton shoes.
The temperature in Lakina was lower than in Silvercrest. Isabella felt the chill as soon as she got out of the car, and standing at the door for a while made her sneeze.
Nina quickly took Isabella's hand and rubbed it in her palms, "It's chilly out here. Let's go inside."
