FULL NOVELXO Chapter 294
The moment he left the plane, he dialed Wendy's number. "Mom, I've arrived in San Angelino."
"That's great, Charles. You're just in time. Grandma just came out of surgery. The surgery was a success. She's fine now." Charles could tell that Wendy was relieved. Charles smiled. He felt as though the weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "That's great news, Mom. I'll come over right now. I'm forty minutes away." "Okay, Charles. Take your time. There's no rush. Grandma is in the ICU now. She needs to be kept under observation for a few days." "Alright."
With that, he hung up and quickly checked his messages. There were two: one from Naomi and one from Sean.
He smiled and clicked on Naomi's message.
[Naomi: I will, Charles. Try to get some rest too. Don't worry about rushing back here. I can settle Olivia's lawyers by myself.] Charles knew she would say that.
Fortunately, his grandmother's surgery was a success, so he would be able to return to Herland the next morning after all.
Charles was just about to reply when something occurred to him. He glanced at the time. It was already almost 2 p.m. Naomi was probably asleep by now.
He decided not to disturb her and instead clicked on Sean's message.
[Sean: Hey, Charles, Amelia's in San Angelino, and Naomi's headed there too. She's probably going to arrive a little later than you are. You didn't know, did you?]
It sounded like Sean was teasing him, as though he was making fun of Charles for not knowing Naomi was where he was.
Charles froze.
Amelia and Naomi were both in San Angelino?
Charles recalled what Naomi had said to him, and all of a sudden, he felt his heart race.
Naomi and Amelia were two peas in a pod. He had known this from the moment he met Naomi. Therefore, he was not at all surprised to learn that Naomi had flown all the way to San Angelino to see Amelia. Content
He was only surprised at what a coincidence it was. What were the odds that Amelia would be in San Angelino as well?
Charles immediately dialed Naomi's
number. He knew that she did not

worry At that time, he was so concerned about his grandmother that he did not even stop to think about where Amelia was
However, he felt a surge of happiness spread through his body.
Naomi had come to San Angelino.
Charles was over the moon. Although this was nothing more than a coincidence, he was still overjoyed to be seeing Naomi in San Angelino. He could not help feeling that God was on his side. Content
"Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please-"
Charles paused when he heard the familiar robotic voice and checked Sean's message again.
She was going to arrive a little later than he did.
This meant that she had gotten on the next flight after him.
Charles immediately checked the airline schedule and smiled.
Naomi would be arriving at around 3 a.m.
He still had time. He would go to the hospital to see his grandmother first, then swing by to pick Naomi up if time permitted.
With that, he dialed Sean's number and strode happily out of the airport.
