"Is it okay to just leave? You don't want to call anyone and tell them you're gone?" asked Aaron after gathering his intentions. He turned to Anna who was busy with the view of the highway they were passing.
"It's okay, Uncle. Don't worry about anything. After all, no one will ever need to hear from me," replied Anna in a very small voice, but the words still sounded clear to Aaron's ears.
"Hmm, fine," Aaron replied with a deep breath.
"You don't want to say goodbye to your adoptive mother and father first?" Aaron asked again. He thought that his nephew was just living separately from the two people because she already had a family of her own. However, he thought it would only last a few minutes.
"They're dead, Uncle. I don't have anyone now," Anna replied in one breath.
"You still have me, don't think like that," Aaron Smith said awkwardly.
Hearing that, Anna only glanced over and gave a faint smile without replying a single word.
Flashback OFF.
They were currently on the plane, to be more precise in a first-class cabin. There were only a few people in the range. Including Anna, Aaron, and also Dave who fell back asleep a few minutes ago.
They left about a few minutes ago.
Aaron who kept trying to get Anna to talk now chose to remain silent when he didn't get any response from the woman.
He didn't know what's going on with his feelings right now. On the one hand, he felt very happy because he could meet his nephew again without any flaws. While on the other hand, he also feels a little sad to see that woman who doesn't seem to be okay.
A sigh escaped his lips.
At least, Claire Smith has been found. The heir to the Jason Smith fortune is back.

Parking his car carelessly, Devan immediately got out of there and ran into the airport with wide steps. He wanted to check if Aaron and Anna took a flight to Australia today.
Even so, he still really hoped that it wouldn't happen.
He still wanted to meet Anna and his son. He didn't want her to leave with a misunderstanding like this.
It was raining, which at first was just a drizzle now slowly became very heavy. Delivering cold air to the bones of every human being.
Several minutes passed. Devan's fear finally came true.
Anna had already left with Aaron and this made him very frustrated. Sitting in a chair for a long time, He didn't know what was on his mind. His cell phone had been ringing for a long time, but he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of answering it.
His hands clenched into fists. He felt really angry.
No, he didn't want to let this happen. He had to catch up with Anna and his son 'Dave', no matter what.
Rechecked the flight schedule to Australia, and at the same time, a rough sigh escaped from between his lips because it turned out that he would only be able to catch up with Anna two days from now, or in other words the day after tomorrow.
Devan rubbed his face roughly. Slowly but surely, he rose from his position, walking with unsteady steps towards the car park. Breaking through the rain regardless of anything.
The man did not immediately return home, nor to the hospital where Mother and the others were.
During the trip, he tried to stay calm and normalize the feelings that were raging within him.
'I am sorry, dear. It's all my fault for thinking too much about my family's wishes, and not caring about your feelings,' Devan thought.
'I was holding back too much, and didn't realize that everything I did was just going to make you walk away from me.'
'No, I won't let you leave me like this. Wait for me, I will catch up with you as soon as possible,' he thought again, without realizing it, the tears dripped from his eyes. Indicating that his feelings hurt, he was disappointed with himself.
This was the first time the man had shed tears like this.
Excessive? Not. Nothing is superfluous when it comes to one's feelings.
His cell phone rang again glanced briefly, and again a rough gasp escaped his lips. Devan immediately turned off the incoming call, without any intention to pick it up. Even though the one who contacted him was his mother, Mrs. Seira.
When it was late in the afternoon, Devan continued to drive his car without any direction or purpose. Splitting the heavy rain and busy streets in J City.
***
The next day.
It's already ten o'clock in the morning, a typical wake-up groan can be heard from a man's lips in a five-star hotel room.
He is Devan. The man tried to blink his eyes, the dizziness from the alcoholic drink he drank last night still left a little trace.
His throat was dry and he felt very thirsty.
His current appearance looked very chaotic.
Yes, after a long walk in the middle of the city, the man did not return home but entered a bar to eliminate his frustration a little.
And here he is now, after getting drunk . Devan booked a hotel room which happened to be adjacent to the Bar where he was.
Suddenly his cell phone rang, in slow motion. He tried to reach for the flat-shaped object and saw Clarissa's name plastered on the screen of his cellphone.
"Hello," a woman's voice sounded.
"What is it?" asked Devan directly.
"I've contacted you via email, sir. I've sent you your schedule for today. I just want to remind you that at 13.30 this afternoon, you will meet the Client from…"
"Move to another day, Clarissa. Didn't you hear what I said yesterday?"
"But sir, you've asked me to set the schedule five times. I'm just worried, the client canceled this agreement. But if that's what you want, fine, I'll try to tell that person back, sir," Clarissa replied in one breath.
Hearing the story of his secretary, Devan was silent for a moment. Trying to fix his position, got up and sat back against the bed.
"Five times?"
"That's right sir."
"Okay, then I will come to the office today," said Devan.
"Is there anything else?" he added again.
"Nothing, sir."
"Okay," said Devan then hung up the phone unilaterally.
It turned out that lately, he had been too indifferent to the affairs of his office. He didn't even realize he had arranged a meeting schedule with that many clients.
Looking at the clock displayed on his cellphone screen, Devan sighed harshly. And the next minute, he called Hendra, asking the middle-aged man to deliver his clothes and also some important files in his office.
After doing that, he got off the bed, walked towards the bathroom right after taking off all the clothes he was wearing.
