Chapter 386: Divergent Paths

Aurora easily spotted the woman in the black trench coat and large sunglasses. John Walsh stood by her side, making lively conversation, though she seemed barely interested, her mind elsewhere. Suddenly, as she looked in Aurora's direction, Aurora quickly hid behind a pillar, knowing that appearing now would only repeat the outcome of yesterday, adding nothing but mutual sorrow.

"Master, the check-in is complete; we can board now," Erica said, holding the tickets.

John escorted her to the security checkpoint and hugged her lightly.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon to join you."

"Take good care of her," Tina said with a thick nasal voice. If she had removed her sunglasses, her dark circles from a sleepless night filled with memories of past grudges would be visible.

"I will. It's about time. Go check in, don't miss your flight," John released her.

"Okay."

Tina walked towards the security lane, feeling as though someone was watching her. She turned back after a few steps, scanning the airport. Only a few leisurely travelers dragging their suitcases were in sight. Erica, sensing her unease, paused and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, let's go," Tina withdrew her gaze.

Aurora cautiously peeked from behind the pillar, watching the group leave. She wondered, "Mom, what has happened over these years to change you so much?"

"Why not go and see her off?"

Julian, having parked the car, caught up and noticed Aurora hadn't shown herself. Wasn't she concerned about Tina?

"It would only cause trouble for both of us. Since nothing can change the outcome and

it would only bring us sadness, why should I bother going out?"

Aurora shook her head in resignation.

Julian understood her feelings and embraced her gently.

The only explanation is that she did it to protect you, to keep your life on track, to let you forget her, even if it meant being misunderstood.
