Chapter 748 Coming Home
Darwin raised his arm and pulled Fiona into his embrace, kissing her forehead. "We'll be heading home tomorrow. Are you nervous?" Fiona asked.
Darwin shook his head. "With you by my side, I'm not."
Fiona smiled and held onto Darwin's waist. "Then I'll be with you every step of the way."
The next morning, Fiona and Darwin boarded a private plane bound for Bay City International Airport. Due to the numerous witnesses when Fiona found Darwin, rumors of his survival had spread across the internet.
Reliable sources claim that Darwin has been recuperating on a tropical island in the South Seas and is now on his way back with Fiona!]
blogger posted, along with a flight path map of Fiona's private plane. Indeed, the map showed the plane's arrival in Bay City today.
It's been almost half a year. How can people still be so optimistic, always claiming that Darwin is alive?]
April Fools' Day was over two weeks ago, and Children's Day is around the corner. What are you even saying?"]
The blogger's information is consistent with what I've heard. Darwin is already on his way back.]
The blogger replied, [I'm speechless. No one believes me!]
Someone responded, [Time will reveal the truth.]
Despite the internet's skepticism, netizens discovered a live stream from an anchor who had been waiting at the airport for Fiona. They sneaked into the live stream room. According to the flight itinerary, Fiona's private plane was scheduled to land at the international airport at 2 p.m. By 1:50 p.m., tens of thousands of people had gathered in the live stream room.
However, by 2:30 p.m., Fiona was still nowhere to be seen. The live stream chat became increasingly anxious. After a while, the anchor returned with news, "Everyone, we won't be able to see her today. Fiona got off the plane, and a car picked her up directly at the airport. She's probably home by now!"
The chat erupted in frustration. The incident was soon turned into a joke and spread to Facebook.
How ridiculous! Do people on the internet have nothing better to do? Waiting in a live stream room for 40 minutes just for some excitement?]
Am I the only one who finds this suspicious? Secretary Woods was at the airport before, and she always left normally. Why did she go directly to the car this time? There must be something wrong!]
Oh my, could it be that she really picked up that person? Someone please clarify, or I might actually believe it!]
I have a friend who volunteers where Fiona was on a business trip. It seems she got injured while dealing with the indigenous people on the island. That's probably why she took a special route, right?]
Perhaps due to excessive discussion, Fiona's name was no longer trended. But the hashtags "Bizarre Live Stream" and "Why Did Fiona Take a Special Route" made it to the trending topics. Internet users were engrossed in gossip. It stood out on the list of topics where entertainment fans argued.
After leaving the airport, Fiona and Darwin went straight to the Rhoads family hospital. The medical team there had been waiting for them. Thalassa and Kenny went to pick up Charles and Chicago from school today and brought them to the hospital. Janna and the medical team waited together at the hospital. Fiona helped Darwin out of the car. Janna originally wanted to go forward, but seeing Darwin's emaciated appearance, her heart felt a pang, and her eyes turned red.
"How did Darwin end up like this?" Janna felt distressed, then tremblingly patted Darwin's arm, "It's okay, you're home now, that's what matters, you're home!"
"It's Grandma," Fiona said softly to Darwin.
Darwin called out "Grandma."
Janna felt even more heartbroken. "You don't remember anything from before?"
Darwin nodded apologetically.
"It's okay!" Janna wiped away her tears, her voice gentle and loving. "There's nothing much to remember from before. Let's just focus on living well from now on!"
Darwin obediently nodded. Soon, Darwin was admitted to the ward.
"We'll stay for two days and complete all the tests that we haven't done over there," Fiona said, sitting beside Darwin, caressing his cheek. "Then we'll go home to rest. Your daughter has been busy all spring, and it's time for her to harvest the fruits she's planted."
"Will they come to see me?" Darwin asked. These days, Fiona showed him many videos of Charles and Chicago. Darwin missed them a lot. But Darwin also worried that his current appearance might scare the children.
"Of course, they don't know you're back yet. Thalassa and Kenny will bring them after school, and we'll give them a surprise!" Darwin's Adam's apple rolled, and he unconsciously rubbed the scar on his face with the back of his hand.
"It's okay." Fiona held his hand. "You still look handsome."
Thalassa was in a particularly good mood today. When she picked up Charles, she was smiling so brightly that it piqued Charles's curiosity. "Godmother, did you strike it rich?"
Thalassa looked mysteriously at Charles: "It's a secret, you'll find out soon." Charles wasn't particularly curious about such things. After a while, Thalassa happily gave Chicago a big hug.
"Was my little sister good today?" Chicago held onto Thalassa, her ear pressed against Thalassa's belly, and then she answered herself, "Good? Great! I will praise you now, and when you come out, I'll buy you a gift!"
Thalassa laughed happily. Charlotte followed behind Darwin. During this time, Charlotte had grown taller, her skin had become fairer, and she seemed more cheerful. After getting in the car, Charlotte was the first to notice that the car was going in a different direction.
"Aren't we going home?" Charlotte asked.
"Not for now, we have to go to the hospital to visit someone," Thalassa said seriously.
"Hospital? Who's sick?" Chicago asked in a hurry.
"You'll know when you get there," Thalassa ruffled Chicago's hair. Chicago looked worried. Charles glanced at Thalassa. Recently, Charles had been preparing for a physics competition and was completely cut off from the internet, so he was unaware of the discussions online.
He did know about Fiona's injury. Because Fiona couldn't video chat, Fiona had him help deceive Chicago.
'Could it be that Mommy's injury isn't as light as she said? No, that's not it. The Godmother couldn't smile'.
Ten minutes later, the car pulled into the Rhoads family hospital and stopped in the designated parking space. The door opened. Chicago was the first to jump out. At a glance, she saw Fiona, who was smiling at her.
"Mommy!" Chicago shouted in surprise and ran over to hug Fiona.
