Chapter 245

Before her flight from the airport, Belinda sent Leanne a video.

She and Jada sat on Curtis’ private G650 jet, earnestly expressing their gratitude for her care over the period.

As a single mother raising a sick child, the most support and concern she received was from a doctor without kin in the world.

At the end of the video, her eyes brimming with tears, she emotionally said, “Dr. Castillo, if your parents would be so proud if they could see you now, how well you’ve turned out, and how exceptional you are.”

Leanne only saw it after her shift at noon, and by then, the plane had been airborne for over three hours, already beyond the country’s borders.

After watching the video, she smiled.

If her parents were still around, knowing how Curtis teased her, they’d have her back.

Failing to reach Curtis by phone and receiving no reply to her messages, Leanne checked her phone throughout the day, but there was no word from him.

When her shift ended, she called Caleb.

The call connected, and she got straight to the point. “Where’s Curtis?”

Unruffled, Caleb replied, “I was out for business today and didn’t catch up with Mr. Curtis. He’s got a dinner event tonight. If it’s not urgent, ma’am, you might want to try reaching him tomorrow.”

After hanging up, Leanne called Jake.
