Chapter 353: Time to move on
The room grew awkward after Betty left, the ladies silently sipping their tea. "I will be leaving for my hometown soon. I can’t wait to see my family. Especially my baby." Becky finally chimed lifting the atmosphere.
"What’s her name?" Abrielle asked excitedly; the thought of the baby made her feel a warmth in her heart.
"Lucy, that’s the name I chose. She had turned a year a few months back."Becky chimed excitedly.
She then went ahead to update Abrielle; it turns out Cedric’s people had written to her hometown, which was faster to ask about her family, and word came back that they were fine.
Her husband had struggled to keep the family going and her mother had nursed Lucy using goat’s milk. Tears welled up in Becky’s at the thought of seeing her family again.
"That’s truly splendid. Your husband is a good man." Abrielle chimed in, making Becky smile. "Pete has always been a hard worker," Becky’s eyes were filled with pride
"But your husband is truly wonderful. I had no idea his highness was this supportive. He is a good man and you are truly lucky, your highness." Becky suddenly praised Abrielle, leaving her stunned.
If she was told when she came to this world Cedric would be praised as a good man. She would roll her eyes so hard they would fall off. "Thank you," she muttered.
"I can’t wait to get to Vitalis, my family will be so surprised to see me." Cecilia, the healer and protection magic user, chimed in. Soon, everyone started talking about their longings and who they missed.
Cedric was amazing as Abrielle would describe him. He has really put in a lot of effort to help the girls; she felt she needed to thank him.
Camilla watched on the sidelines. How nice it would be to have a home to go to? Should she go back to her family? She wondered, then shook her head; if she did, Richard would find her. Maybe going to the capital to start afresh was the best. Who knows what she might find?!
