Chapter 14

The following day, Hazel and her children visited the hospital for one last check–up before their upcoming trip. Daisy was surprisingly lively and cooperative with the doctors, which provided some relief to Hazel’s anxieties. Hazel was given drugs, prescription and a note she was to give to the hospital Daisy would be transferred to.

The kids went to the wards bidding goodbye.

Daisy gave out sweets to her friends still at the hospital.

Afterward, they stopped by the kindergarten to bid proper farewells to Daisy’s friends and. teachers. Emotions ran high, but it was a necessary step in their journey.

Finally done with their errands, they passed by a small grocery store on the way home. Liam couldn’t resist the temptation, and he halted his steps, pulling Hazel’s hand backward. “Mommy, ice cream,” Liam demanded, his eyes pleading.

Hazel sighed with a fond smile, realizing that a small indulgence was in order. “Fine. Let’s get ice cream, and we’ll have takeout for dinner tonight.”

“Yay Ice cream!” Liam cheered. The kids hopped into the store excitedly.

All of their luggage had already been packed in anticipation of their relocation the next day. Hazel had also given away various belongings to their neighbors. With their house now practically empty, she couldn’t muster the energy to cook dinner. The family of three. entered the grocery store, selecting their favorite ice cream flavors and grabbing takeout for dinner.

Exiting the store, the kids eagerly indulged in their ice cream treats, laughter and joy filling, the air as they enjoyed this simple moment together as a family.

Pausing briefly, she inhaled the air, flooded with nostalgia from her first departure five years ago as a hurt and ignored Luna. A sense of unease gnawed at her stomach as the memories rushed back.

“Mommy, are you okay?” an adorable voice broke through her reverie. She looked down to find two pairs of concerned eyes gazing up at her, their eyebrows furrowed with worry. “Yes, my loves. Mommy’s okay, I just got lost in thought for a moment,” Hazel reassured them with a forced smile.

“Well, shall we?” she asked, offering her arms to her children on either side of her. They took her hands, and together they entered the bustling airport building.

The airport’s chaotic atmosphere made Hazel anxious, fearing her children might get lost. Just then, her phone rang.

“Hey, mama,” Chloe greeted from the other end.
