"So what do you think, Mom? Would that be possible?" Leo asked Rachel.

"Alright, alright. I'll see to it. Do you guys even have enough living space there?" Rachel immediately agreed when he heard about his suggestion of transferring Laura at Cambridge Base.

"Of course, mom. The place is very big. Why don't you come with us and have a look around over there?" Leo said.

Rachel thought for a bit with her eyes directed at the ground, and then she looked up and said to Leo, "Hmm..alright. Pick me up when you plan to go back"

"Sure, mom! I'll get going then, see you in a bit" Leo said as he turned around.

"Wait.." Rachel called out.

Rachel didn't say anything and gave him a kiss on his cheek, "Always be careful, okay?"

Not wanting to make his mother worry, Leo answered confidently, "Of course mom. See ya!"

"My son had already grown up, huh" Rachel proudly mumble while looking at Leo, who's slowly going downstairs.
