Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 75 Kidnapped

As I was in the midst of pondering over the call, Coraline took the initiative and told me about it.

One of her relatives had called her. However, an accident had occurred, so they were occupied for the time being. Hence, they wouldn’t be able to come over.

The news caused me to frown. They won’t be able to come over? Isn’t she supposed to be discharged tomorrow? Does this mean that she intends to ask me to continue helping her?

Following that, Coraline added that she had plans to return to her hometown and tend to herself. She claimed that there was beautiful scenery and people to keep her company. Finally, she asked if I could send her there.

I let out a sigh of relief. It seems like she won’t bother me anymore.

Although I’ve never visited Julius’ childhood home, he once mentioned that it was not very far away. I can send her there and make it back on the same day. Besides, I’ve done countless things for her. I’ll consider this as my last favor!

After Coraline was made aware that she would be discharged tomorrow, she decided to return home tomorrow morning.

As she wanted to leave earlier, I was more than happy to comply with her plans.

The next day, I arrived at the hospital at the break of dawn. After filling in the paperwork to discharge Coraline, I headed to the bus station.

Since it wasn’t a special holiday, I managed to purchase the tickets with ease.

Our journey to Coraline’s hometown went by smoothly.

There weren’t many bus stops in the small county. Thus, we got off the bus at the side of the road.

After we got down from the bus, I noticed many motorcycles around the area that were there to fetch tourists. I prepared to hail one for Coraline and made plans to return home after she was sent off.

All of a sudden, Coraline announced that she wanted to use the restroom and asked me to follow her there. As we weren’t in a rush, I trailed after her without any complaint.
