Logan’s movements were exceedingly swift. Springing out of bed, he dashed over to the bathroom to wash his face
and brush his teeth, a whirlwind of activity. Meanwhile, Lola had already packed up, so she merely changed and sat
in the sitting area to wait for him. Logan then packed his luggage as well, but there wasn’t much luggage since
most were odds and ends they bought during their trips out.
When everything was done, the two of them went downstairs and ate a simple breakfast at the hotel restaurant.
Then, they took a taxi to the airport. They got the time just right, for they boarded the plane shortly after arriving at
the airport.
Logan was so excited that despite his initial plan of surprising his family after going back, he gave Old Mr. Jefferson
a call while the plane hadn’t yet taken off. When Old Mr. Jefferson answered the call, his voice was no different than
usual; he merely knew that they were coming back today, but not Lola’s possible pregnancy. Perhaps Lynett and

something, but you’ve got to stay strong, okay?”
All at once, a bolt of fear lanced through Old Mr. Jefferson. “Have you done something reprehensible again, you
damn kid? Let me tell you, I’m not going to help you if you’ve created a huge mess. You’ve got to take responsibility
by yourself!”
Logan hooted in laughter over the phone. Then, he asserted, “It’s not something reprehensible. It’s something
good.”
However, Old Mr. Jefferson obviously didn’t believe him
“Have you ever done anything good? You’ve never done anything decent since young.” This remark truly saddened
Logan. Beside him, Lola could hear everything Logan said. A tad embarrassed, she raised her hand and patted him
on the arm, shaking her head to signal him not to publicize her pregnancy. After all, it’s not certain yet since a
pregnancy test may be wrong. After a while, Logan again insisted through the phone, “It’s truly a good thing. Say,
why can’t you just trust your son once?” “Cut the crap!” Old Mr. Jefferson blurted. “I know your despicable
character all too well. So, what trouble did you wreak this time?” Logan hissed. “Old man, if you continue speaking
like this, there’s nothing more to be said between us. I won’t tell you, then.” Old Mr. Jefferson had no intention of
yielding to his threat. He snorted, “Whatever! I’m not interested in whatever deplorable thing you’ve done. Just
settle it yourself.” After saying that, he hung up the phone before Logan could respond. Exclaiming, Logan’s face
was filled with surprise as he gripped his cell phone in his hand. “This old man’s temper has gotten worse with me
gone.” Beside him, Lola burst out laughing.

Dad is becoming increasingly child-like. At times, he’s even cuter than a child! The plane’s cabin doors started
closing after a while, so Logan turned off his cell phone. Still feeling a touch discomfited, Lola leaned back in her
seat wanly. Lifting a hand, Logan stroked her hair. “We’ll be home very soon, so just put up with it first. Everything
will be fine when we’re home.” Murmuring an assent, Lola closed her eyes and leaned against his shoulder. She felt
as bad today as she was yesterday, but she could endure it since she’d learned that it was good news. She didn’t
sleep much throughout the entire flight, for nausea remained her ever-present companion. Despite having drank a
few glasses of water, the nausea was still at the forefront. The distress she felt throughout it all was just
indescribable; she just felt uncomfortable no matter how she sat, and she wanted to sleep, yet she just couldn’t
doze off. Actually, she could tell that Logan was also restless beside her when she was feeling ill at ease, but she
truly couldn’t feign nonchalance. She was just so harrowed that she simply didn’t know what to do. She ate some
fruits mid-flight, but nausea rose after she’d eaten them. In the end, she could only lean back against her seat and
inhale deeply. It seemed that it was the only way to reduce the irritating queasiness within her. When the plane
landed, Lola almost burst out in tears. Finally, we’re home!
