Chapter 387 No Such Thing as a Safe Haven

Lily had searched online for nearby housing options.

Not far from the hotel, there were apartment buildings and even a few stand–alone villas.

She could buy a little villa, learn to grow vegetables, tend to flowers and plants. Ideally, there’d be a small stream next to it–so on quiet days, she could catch fish and make fresh fish soup.

The beautiful scenery was truly healing.

Surrounded by nature, Lily felt hopeful about the future.

She strolled around the hotel grounds for quite a while before finally checking in.

First class had been comfortable.

But she was pregnant. After hours on a plane and then more–time in a cab, she still felt drained.

She swiped her keycard and opened the door, tossed her luggage aside, and headed for the bathroom to shower and rest.

She grabbed her pajamas, still fully clothed, and hummed a cheerful tune as she walked toward the bathroom.

Just before reaching the door, she remembered she hadn’t turned her phone back on. She powered it up.

To her surprise, she had several missed calls from James.

Worried that something might’ve happened, she called him back as she pushed open the bathroom door.
