After hanging up on Linda, it was time to board the flight. Sage, Donald, and Dexter passed security and boarded the plane.

Two hours later, they landed in Colville. Since it was late in the day, they checked in at a hotel first and planned to visit Donald's friend the next morning at the hospital.

Later, Sage brought Donald and Dexter to savor some local delicacies. When they returned to the hotel, she checked her phone and saw a missed call from lan, which she believed she overlooked because it was noisy at the restaurant.

She also noticed that he had texted her, asking, “Have you landed?" Since the text was from an hour ago, she didn't bother to reply to him. She picked some clothes from her luggage and headed to the bathroom.

The estate felt unusually lonely and desolate when he returned home that day, even though everything else remained the same.

"Mr. Holcomb, I stored the cakes you brought home last night in the fridge. Would you like to give them out or keep them for Mrs. Holcomb?" Wanda inquired. She did not know what to do with the cakes since lan never liked snacks and desserts.
