But Layla's heart had already flown back to Aryadelle.

"I will come and stay for a few more days next time. I came here behind everyone's backs this time, and, since I've gotten what I wanted, I should hurry back," Layla said gleefully, not feeling tired at all because she had received a satisfying answer from Nadia.

Nadia informed Eric about her conversation with Layla as soon as Layla left, and Eric felt incredibly troubled by Layla's recklessness. He also wondered what she might do now that she knew the truth.

He stared at his phone and breathed heavily while thinking to himself, 'Layla hasn't reached out to me yet. Is she planning to look for me once she gets back? She's in Bridgedale now, so there's no point in me getting all worked up over it. I guess I'll have to wait until she gets back.'

By the time Layla arrived home, it was night. She felt exhausted from the total of twenty hours she had spent flying, so she looked horrible.

Avery immediately stopped Layla in her path when she saw how exhausted her daughter looked.

"Darling, what's going on? Why do you look so tired? Did you not sleep?"

"Mom, I need to sleep now... I'll talk to you when I wake up," Layla said with a yawn before walking up the stairs.
