Chapter 496

“Are you going to see Russel?” Faith’s brow furrowed.

“Yes, I need to talk to him about something. He’s back in Rosemont, so I’m planning on heading there.” I didn’t go into detail, but given Faith’s keen intuition, I was sure she grasped the gist of the situation.

She remained silent, her eyes reflecting a complex mixture of emotions.

After a moment, Faith finally spoke again. “Well, I guess we should head out together then.”

“What about Karina?” I asked.

“She will go back to Eldoria for work. Hiram’s got school there,” Faith replied.

I nodded, relieved that Karina wasn’t going to Rosemont. The last thing I wanted was her stirring up trouble while I was trying to have a serious conversation with Russel.

Faith and I each scooped up a child and left the room, notifying the hotel staff on our way out that we were checking out. Karina and Hiram were already waiting for us in the hotel lobby.

The hotel had arranged for a car to take us to the airport. Our flights were scheduled around the same time, just heading in different directions.

“Safe travels. We’ll see you in Eldoria in a few days,” Karina bid us goodbye, her flight leaving earlier than ours. She held Hiram’s hand, looking surprisingly calm given the circumstances.

I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. Karina seemed completely unphased by the fact that Faith and I were heading to Rosemont together, even though Neil was there. And given Karina’s fiery personality, it seemed unlikely that she was simply indifferent.

On top of that, I had no idea how Karina knew about Russel quitting his job. They weren’t even working at the same hospital anymore.
