Chapter 1367
When Rosa finally chased after Joe, the airport was bustling with people, and he was nowhere to be found. She couldn't bring herself to issue a statement.
Even if she did, it would be to announce her engagement, and she wanted everyone to celebrate her happiness.
Checking the time on her phone, she saw that her flight was still over four hours away. Initially, she had hesitated.
If she could find Joe, perhaps he would give her a promise that would ease her mind. Then, she could comfortably stay in Murida to recover, especially since she hadn't probably rested since her surgery.
She could feel that her health wasn't great, and the thought of being on such a long flight made her anxious.
But whenever she closed her eyes, she couldn't shake the image of the way Joe had looked at her just moments ago-his gaze was cold and distant. In that instant, she felt an overwhelming need to follow him.
If it came to it, she could find a hospital in Jipsburg to stay for a few days.
Skylar received a WhatsApp message from Joe. He said, "I'm heading back to Jipsburg today. Where is our home?"
The words "our home" made Skylar's eyes well up with tears.
Skylar wondered why he suddenly sent her this message to him and mentioned the words "our home".
Without hesitation, she sent a video call to him, but Joe didn't pick up. She wondered if he was already on a plane.novelbin
Determined, she decided to seek out Gloria. "Grandma, Joe is going back to Jipsburg, and he asked where our home is. This means he's acknowledging his identity."
Gloria was drinking water when she heard Skylar's words. Before she could swallow, she sputtered, spraying water everywhere. She quickly wiped her mouth and the front of her shirt, unable to hide her excitement. "Let me see! Hurry, let me see!"
"Here, Grandma." Skylar held out her phone.
Gloria's eyes filled with tears as she read the message. "Good, good! That's my grandson. He realized it so quickly and headed back to Jipsburg. "But wait―he must be planning to do something, aiming to catch some people in Jipsburg off guard. We need to go back. Hurry and book flight tickets for tomorrow. If there are flights available, we're going."
Skylar nodded firmly. "I'll book the flight ticket."
Just as she was about to do so, thought struck her. "Grandma, let's go to the hospital tomorrow first. We should check with the doctor if your health is suitable for such a long flight."
Gloria waved her hand dismissively. "It's just a few hours on a plane. It won't be a problem. Going home to see my grandson is what matters most. "Besides, if he's back home, I won't be able to rest well here. Maybe going back will lift my spirits and help me feel better."
Skylar remembered Gloria's results from the hospital check-up a couple of days ago. Gloria's health was not very optimistic.
But what she said made sense. Staying in Murida to recuperate wouldn't do any good if her mood was low.
It was better to return to Jipsburg City. She should go back.
...
The next morning, Skylar received a message from Joe. He had landed safely.
He had just checked into his hotel. She immediately sent him the address of Galaxy Villa.een living here since we got married. You can stay at Galaxy Villa."
After sending the message, Joe sent her a video call.
It had been a few days since they last saw each other, and he still looked handsome and aloof on the
video call. However, there were dark
circles under his eyes.
He probably hadn't slept well these past few days and had endured a night flight. Thankfully, it was nighttime in Jipsburg.
They both fell silent for a moment.
Skylar had a lot she wanted to say, but seeing Joe left her at a loss for words. Finally, she smiled and asked, "Have you thought about the past yet?" "Not yet," Joe replied, gazing intently at Skylar on the screen.
At that moment, with no one around and free from the weight of his identity, his gaze turned somewhat reckless. She was his wife.
