For as long as anyone could remember, Holden had been overlooked.
Yet, his capabilities were not to be underestimated.
Starting as a lowly clerk at Lynette Enterprises, he climbed the corporate ladder to a top executive position, showcasing his undeniable talent.
Even before she returned, everyone thought Holden would be the apparent successor to Lynette Enterprises.
"My skills, all thanks to the Lynette family."
Brittany and Holden had a heart-to-heart for hours. As she was leaving, Brittany turned to Holden, "Bro, I'll take good care of Dad. You don't need to worry." That was exactly what Holden needed to hear, "I make it a point to visit Dad in Imperial City every year."
"Good."
Yuri had spent his entire life in Craneville, leaving it was a big decision.
He spent a few days catching up with old buddies, saying his goodbyes, then made one last trip to the Lynette Family Cemetery.
Kneeling by Julie's grave, he whispered, "Julie, I'm sorry, I have to break our promise."
"With the current situation, I might have to leave Craneville for a while. When everything settles down, I'll be back."
He couldn't bear the thought of leaving Daniel to go back to Imperial City alone.
He was too attached.
After spending a long time at the cemetery, Yuri went home.
He couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, Yuri and Daniel headed to the airport, escorted by Brittany and Holden.
At the airport, Daniel clung to Brittany, clearly not ready to let go.
Brittany kissed her son's cheek, "Be good, I'll be back with you soon."
Daniel nodded obediently, "Mom, I'll wait for your return."
Yuri seemed much more at ease.
"Take care of yourselves."
Holden nodded, "We know, Dad."
Watching the grandfather and grandson depart, Brittany's eyes welled up with tears.
She felt guilty for making her father leave his home to help take care of her child.
Holden patted her shoulder, "Don't
be too
ard on yourself. Dad r choice willingly. Nothing
important than family." Cot
Brittany felt a pang of sorrow, "Bro, thanks for understanding."
This wasn't Yuri's first trip to Imperial City.
But this time was different from all the others.
Before leaving the cemetery, he scooped up a handful of soil from Julie's grave, as if to take her with him.
Daniel was visibly happier, eager for everything Imperial City had to offer.
As the plane took off, the air outside turned into a thick mist in moments.
...
After leaving the airport, Brittany headed straight to Lynette Enterprises.
Work couldn't wait.
Busy until the next morning, Brittany received a call from Yuri, "We've
in Imperial City, safe ane
sound."
Brittany breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, I've informed Derek. He was at the airport. If you need anything in Imperial City, Derek's your guy."
"Don't worry, I've got everything arranged."
Yuri was no stranger to Imperial City, well-connected and capable of handling anything.
Brittany chuckled at her own worries, "How's Daniel?"
"He's excited to give Abby the small gift he brought all the way. I'm planning to take him there first." "Alright, got it."
Brittany shook her head, amused. Her son was quick to bounce back.
At Abby's place.
Ever since Daniel had left Imperial City, Abby had been down in the dumps.
Wesley Tueley had to pull out all the stops to cheer his daughter up.
When Yuri showed up, Wesley was somewhat surprised.
Then the back door of the car opened.
Daniel, holding a gift box, jumped out and ran straight to Abby, "Abby!" "Daniel!"
Hearing his voice, Abby dropped her toy and ran towards him.
