Coming back home

The next day, April was allowed to go home. Since she wasn't experiencing any type of reaction anymore and her health was already stable.

Seeing his mother come home, Sky was thrilled!

In the next couple of days, Alex had been next to her constantly. Even during work hours. If he had any papers that needs signing, James would deliver it to him. If he had any sort of meetings, he would stay inside the study and do a conference call on his laptop. Same as if he needs any work done, he would be on his laptop inside the study room.

Seeing this type of situation, April felt guilty about Alex. One night when they were about to sleep, April decided to talk to Alex.

"I want to go back to America and visit my family." She missed her mom and dad. This past month was exhausting her. It was only the start and yet it was draining her physically, mentally and emotionally.

Alex sighed. Right now, he was already pressured by the Benedict Project. Although his heart wasn't on the job, he still wanted to see the end of it. Especially since he asked his father a favor and this Project was his father's wishes.

"I can't go with you right now, but I promised to come as soon as I can. Stay with your family for a couple of weeks. I think that would be healthy for you anyways." Alex hugged April and kissed her forehead.

"Mmm.. We will wait for you there then." April hugged back.

"April! Sky!"

"My babies!"

"April.."

There were three people who welcomed them at the airport. Colm stood next to her parents side.

"How are you guys?" April hugged them one by one, including Colm. Sky did as well, showing his good manners.

"Everything is fine here. How are you two doing?" Annie picked up Sky and kissed his cheeks. Sky didn't respond and only hugged his grandmother back. He already promised his mother that he won't tell anything about her going to the hospital.

"You gain some color in you." Ted commented.

"Yeah, the ocean was close to our house. We couldn't let it passed by." April giggled.

"Everything is good too on our side mom. By the way, How are you Colm?" April smiled at her friend.

"Pretty good. I almost didn't recognized you." Colm smiled warmly as he help pulled their luggages.

"Why is that?" April tilted her head and her hands on her hips.

"You looked more beautiful with this color on you." He meant the color of her skin. April was a little bit darker but still white.

"Sorry, I don't have money. No matter how you flatter me, it wouldn't work on me." April pretended to be offended and crossed her arms together.

Colm chuckled. "Let's go. Mom and dad wants to see you as well. They are at home waiting for us. We already prepared dinner for tonight."

This was common in-between their families. Ever since the kidnapping event, their families had gotten much more closer each passing year.

"Great! I miss aunt's dishes! Let's go!" April walked beside Colm. Their other luggages was being brought by their respective drivers and subordinates.

"Anything new happened to you?" April inquired Colm.

"Yea, I have this project with Alex and were making it a really. Hoping by next year, we could launch it" Although he spoke calmly, he was actually excited. This idea was his high school dream.

Hearing Alex's name, April had already miss him. She was so used to his presence already, that she missed him so much. "That's good. Glad that you dreams is finally coming true."

"Me too. Hey, how's your book cafe going? Isn't it supposed to open next week? Why are you here?" Colm asked.

"Yes it is, but I had my secretary handle it. She is quite capable, I believe that she could handle it."

Colm only nodded and continued walking to their cars. "Well, I'm driving my own car. Would you want to ride with me?"

April smiled to him and said, "My pleasure." She then walked to his car. Happy to be back to the States!
