Chapter: 1466
Originally, she had intended to explain everything to Calvin that evening before departing with Bernice. But since Calvin hadn't returned yet, she would have to have Chayce explain to him later.
Chayce nodded in agreement. "Alright, Madam, Miss, have a safe journey."
He waved, watching the jet ascend and vanish from view.
When Calvin came back from the party, he was surprised to find the house empty.
Where were his loving wife and lovely daughter? He had just stepped out to attend a party, and upon his return, they had vanished.
Aboard the jet, Norah comforted Bernice, saying, “Once we arrive, we'll find a hotel. I'll call Caylee to figure out what we do next."
Bernice managed her rising excitement. “Okay, Norah, I'll go along with your plans."
Without Norah, she might never have considered returning to the Frazier family or seeing her family again.
They landed in Surella at ten in the morning. Gilda had already booked a hotel for their stay.
Norah and Bernice, having rested and eaten during the flight, felt only slightly tired but were otherwise alright.
Norah reached out to Caylee but kept her mother's arrival a secret, hoping to surprise the Frazier family.
Yet, whether this would lead to a surprise or joy remained uncertain.
Caylee stood at the doorstep, phone in hand, her face lighting up with happiness upon hearing Norah was in Surella.
"You've arrived? Please, come to dinner tonight. Everyone will be there, and it's the perfect opportunity to introduce you."
In fact, the Frazier family was already aware of Norah's existence but had yet to meet her in person.
"Your grandfather's health isn't doing well," Caylee whispered to Norah over the phone. "I'll bring you to see him after dinner."
After giving a few more instructions, Caylee ended the call.
In the room, an elderly man with white hair lay on the bed. He looked frail and miserable, as if death could come at any moment.
Caylee noticed him open his eyes and approached.
“Mr. Frazier," she said softly. “I'll be bringing someone tonight to see you."
As she looked into his cloudy eyes, she felt a deep ache in her heart. The once-powerful and intimidating arms dealer in Surella now seemed like a shell of his former self, weakened by old age.
Even though they were about the same age, he looked at least a decade older than her.
"It's someone you've been wanting to see," Caylee added.
Sadness enveloped her, and the words felt like a heavy burden on her heart. Even if he could never see his daughter again, he at least needed to see his granddaughter before he died.
