Chapter 2981
Nicole gently kissed Nolan and Lana on their cheeks, reassuring them, "Okay, I will come back soon
after finishing my work."
Jared affectionately patted Nolan's head. "Be sure to take good care of Lana while we're away."
Nolan nodded confidently. "I will."
"Daddy," Lana reached out her arms toward Jared, yearning for a hug.
Jared lifted her up, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Daddy,
I'm going to miss you so much."
A look of deep love flashed in Jared’s eyes as he replied, "I'll be back before you know it."
"Nolan, Lana, it's almost time for kindergarten," Tia gently reminded them.
After bidding their parents a reluctant farewell, Nolan and Lana waved goodbye.
"Bye-bye, Daddy! Bye-bye, Mommy!" they called out, their little feet dragging and their heads turning
back three times to look at their parents before following Tia to the car.
Nicole watched the car carrying Nolan and Lana until it disappeared from view. The sight left a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbittersweet feeling in her heart.
Soon after, Nicole and Jared themselves got into their car, poised to embark on their journey.
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, everything is set," Max confirmed, his voice steady as he started the car and
steered it toward the airport.
Upon hearing Max's assurance, Nicole cast a quick glance at Jared. He responded by tenderly holding
her hand. "Max will handle things here. Once we're on our way, our focus should be solely on our
respective tasks."
Nicole nodded in agreement, her expression morphing into one of resolve and determination.
Their journey was about more than just the Apex Corp project; there were other unresolved issues that
demanded their attention.
Upon arriving at the airport, Jared and Nicole swiftly boarded the plane, leaving the familiar landscapes
of San Joto behind.
As their plane soared into the sky, Max departed the airport and made his way back to Charlie's
apartment.
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston have embarked on their trip," Max reported upon arrival.
Charlie looked up at him, a hint of concern in his gaze. "Is everything set up on their end?"
"Don't worry, everything's arranged. But I'm here to discuss the current situation in San Joto," Max
clarified.
Charlie's expression grew more cautious. "Does Mr. Johnston want us to handle Scorpio?"
Max gave him a correcting glance. "It's me who'll be dealing with Scorpio, not us."
"You're here to assist me. Besides that, your main task is to ensure you're well-rested," Max reminded
Charlie.
"I'm actually fine now," Charlie protested, clearly not enthused about the prospect of more rest.
Max, however, was firm in his stance. "Whether you're fine or not isn't for you to decide."
Charlie shot Max a glare filled with accusation. "You're just being dictatorial."
Max simply shrugged, unfazed by the accusation. "We could always consult Patricia for her opinion on
this."
At the mention of Patricia, Charlie fell silent. He knew all too well that if Patricia got involved, she would

"Let Seth stay with you. I'll get in touch if anything comes up. I've temporarily reassigned the rest of the
team," Max said, finalizing his plans before he prepared to leave.
Max paused at the door, a thought striking him. He turned back to Charlie. "How's Patricia's situation?
Any progress with her facial treatment?"
Charlie let out a sigh, a mix of hope and resignation in his voice. "Dr. Wyance seems to be onto
something, but it's still experimental. We'll have to wait a bit longer. It's a ray of hope, at least."
The idea of waiting was difficult, but the possibility of a breakthrough was a comforting thought, a
glimmer of hope in an otherwise challenging situation.
Max nodded understandingly. 'We shouldn't rush things. With such a delicate matter, patience is key."
He then inquired, "Did Dr. Wyance give any specifics about this new approach?"
Nicole had previously mentioned that more reliable treatments for such injuries were usually lengthy
and complex processes. Max wondered why he hadn't heard about this development earlier. 'Is it a
new technique devised by Dr. Wyance? And is Mrs. Johnston aware of it?'
Charlie shook his head, indicating his lack of detailed knowledge. "I'm not sure of the specifics. Dr.
Wyance hasn't shared much yet."
