The restroom was spacious, and Jolie entered one of the stalls, locking the door behind her.
Daisy waited near the sinks, glancing at her watch. After five minutes, her brow furrowed. "Jolie?" she called out.
From inside, Jolie answered faintly, "My stomach hurts." Daisy stepped closer to the stall. "Is it serious?" "It shouldn't be," Jolie replied. "I'll be fine in a bit." "Alright, I'll wait outside," Daisy said, though her expression showed growing impatience.

"Excuse me, whose luggage is this? One of the bags seems to be damaged," an airport staff member said, approaching with a phone displaying a photo of the suitcase in question. Daisy glanced at the screen, her frown deepening. "It's mine. What happened to it?" "I'm not sure," the staff member explained. "It suddenly capart. Could you ccheck it out?" Daisy hesitated, glancing back toward the restroom.
She felt uneasy leaving, but the damaged suitcase contained svaluable items. If something was missing, it might delay the flight.
"Jolie, when you're done, cfind me," Daisy called into the restroom.
"Alright," Jolie replied, her voice calm.
Daisy reluctantly exited the restroom.
Two minutes later, the stall door opened, and Jolie stepped out.
As she smoothed her clothes, the airport announcement began broadcasting the boarding call for her flight.

Daisy stared at her daughter's retreating figure, a faint sense of unease creeping into her heart.
Jolie hadn't even turned back to say goodbye. Was she really that angry? Feeling lost and unsettled, Daisy left the airport.
Half an hour later, a slim figure emerged from the airport lobby and slipped into a waiting car.
"Phew..." Jolie exhaled deeply, pulling off her hat and running a hand through her hair, her tension visibly easing.
In the front seat, Aaron and Selena turned to look at her.
"Hello, Aaron!" Jolie greeted with a bright smile, extending her hand confidently.
Aaron shook her hand and asked, "Any problems?" "None. Everything went smoothly," Jolie replied, shaking her head.
Selena glanced at her. "Where do you want to stay? Larbor City, or somewhere else?" "I'm not sure yet," Jolie said thoughtfully. "But I'm definitely not staying at your place. I don't want to be a third wheel." Selena considered for a moment before offering, "Then stay at my apartment." With that, the car pulled away from the curb and headed toward the city.
