The night before leaving, Greta, Cecelia, Janessa and a few others came to my house and bought a lot of food and drinks to bid me farewell.
"Syl, don't worry, none of us revealed your plan to leave. Frederic has no idea either. Just leave without saying anything and when you come back, surprise him with a divorce, catch him off guard!" Greta shouted, already a little drunk.
"Yes, let's find a handsome blond guy with blue eyes to come back!" Cecelia suggested.
Janessa, on the other hand, seemed like a successful woman who was no longer immersed in love. "Why bother with love? Focus on your career instead. Men are all unreliable," she said.
I thought what they said made a lot of sense, so I kept nodding beside them.
Greta and her two companions didn't leave until late at night.
After daybreak, I carried my simple luggage and brought along my ID and passport. My dad drove me to pick up Jeff and Lucy, and then we went to the airport.
Except for Greta and her, no one else knew about my flight abroad today. And last night, we agreed that they didn't need to come and see me off to avoid getting emotional, so I just needed to board the plane gracefully.
"Are you reluctant, Syl?" Lucy asked me after we boarded the plane.
"I feel a bit reluctant to leave my parents. I truly miss them, after all, I am their only daughter."
"Stay in touch. After exercising, come back to manage the company for them, so they can relax a bit," Lucy comforted me.
That's what I thought too. Since I failed in love, let's strive forward in our careers.
Just as the plane took off, a sense of weightlessness came over me, and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my stomach, as if I had eaten something wrong, and I had a faint urge to vomit.
I quickly pulled out a vomit bag and dry heaved into it.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lucy asked with concern.
I retched for a while, but didn't vomit anything, so I put down the vomit bag. I patted my chest and said, "It's okay, maybe I had a little too much to drink last night, my stomach doesn't feel well."
Lucy said, "Drinking less alcohol is not good for your health."
I nodded obediently.
When we arrived at Luxvia, as soon as we landed, I saw my cousin Cruz. He came specially to pick us up today.
"Syl!" Cruz greeted me with a head rub as soon as he saw me. He asked with a friendly smile, "Why are you so thin? I can see the shape of your bones!"
When I was young, I had a good relationship with him and Rebecca. We played together and grew up gradually. Later, Jeff moved abroad, and contact between us became less frequent.
"Isn't this worrying about my future job? I couldn't eat enough and sleep well, so I became thin. I came all the way here to seek refuge with Cruz! " I patted my suitcase, "I brought all my belongings with me."
Cruz laughed heartily and said, "Alright, come work at my company!"
After getting in the car, I chatted with Cruz all the way. Jeff and Lucy listened with smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. I could really feel that after going abroad, those things in my home country seemed to be a million kilometers away from me.
I currently live at Jeff's house, but Cruz will help me find a place, so I should be able to move out soon.
In the evening, Jeff's family gathered together. Lucy prepared a very sumptuous meal, and they all had a great time eating and laughing.
There is no time difference between Luxvia and the domestic country. When I went to bed, I glanced at the time and it was officially half past ten at night.
On Line, Greta sent me a few messages saying, "Oh my goodness, Emilia had a car accident!"
I was startled and immediately replied, "When did it happen?"
Greta replied, "I just found out today about what happened a few days ago, and I came to tell you right away. Let me calculate the time!"
"On the evening of the second day of the New Year!"
