New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 764 - Finding Peace

Kay's heart ached terribly for the vulnerable teen boy that was crying in her arms. She rubbed his back, one of the things she knew calmed Kyle down so perhaps, Joseph was the same.

It took some time, but slowly, Joseph's sobs did settle down. He seemed to wipe his tears with Sam, but he didn't get up as yet. He just seemed to feel comfortable while she was holding him and she didn't protest.

It was then that Kyle contacted her and she half-listened to him as she continued her gentle care on Joseph. Kyle was telling her about Donnie making a move and such - which wasn't really of interest to her at the moment.

Donnie was Kyle's demon, not hers. She was ill-equipped to help him in that, so she wasn't really bothered with the finer details.

Until he told her to bring the kids back to Country M.

[Got it. When?] she asked mildly, happy to note that Joseph's breathing was becoming regular now.

[Now]

[KYLE!] Kay shouted out in shock, almost hitting Joseph at the news. Kyle calmly told her the reasons for it and she couldn't refute it.

If Kyle had a bad feeling, then from her experience, one had to follow it.

She turned her attention to Joseph, and gently patted him on the shoulder, "Come, let's go to my home country."

Joseph was confused at first, and Kay made up some excuse about them needing a different change of pace. New scenery. New place. Joseph seemed to accept that, though was understandably shocked out of his mind to know it was 'now'.

Kay, seeing this, gave a small smile and went to his closet. She knew where everything was, since she had been one of those involved in the renovation and arranging of things.

Taking a backpack, she then chose a couple of T-shirts and jeans. She packed them nicely and handed the stunned Joseph the backpack, saying, "You don't need much. Just this change of clothes."

Clearing her throat a bit, she then continued with a slight blush, "I've only packed the clothes. Your innerwear and toiletries aren't packed yet."

Kay thought it was pretty ridiculous for her to hesitate in packing his u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, since she isn't exactly a wilting flower … but somehow, she just couldn't. She put it down to the thought that Joseph might be uncomfortable for her to touch such intimate clothing, so she left it to him.

Joseph was puzzled at first, then realised that 'innerwear' referred to his boxers and his face flushed red. Without a word, he just nodded and placed Sam in the backpack before heading to the closet to finish packing up.

"Just the essentials," Kay reminded him, "Like your phone charger."

Joseph nodded, too embarrassed to turn around and say anything else.

Once they left the bedroom, he was surprised to see Lianne holding hands with Kyle. Joseph thought it was pretty fast for his sister to bond with another person - and a guy at that.

Joseph narrowed his eyes.

Did his sister … he shook his head.

No, it couldn't be.

His sister was only 11-years-old and was too young to be thinking about love.

Joseph thought it was strange, though, that he could now think about other things. Rather, to be able to even think that his sister could be having a crush was something he would never have considered before.

Joseph was also feeling a little bit at peace right now.

After that cry, he felt the tightness in his c.h.e.s.t to have gone. He was able to face the day better without feeling so … constricted. Rather, so 'down'. He began to see things in a brighter and lighter side.

He glanced briefly to Kay.

He knew, that his healing was mainly due to her.

She was the first person, other than family, that made him feel so comfortable.

He listened as Kyle and Kay were talking about what to expect at Country M. To be more specific, what was waiting for them at their house.

Gaming room? Wide-screen tv with Netflix in his bedroom? Swimming pool?

And a bunker?!

Once again, his mind reeled at the thought of how rich the Smiths were. It was going to get some getting used to. Everything sounded like a dream, really.

Just then, Kyle announced, "They're here."

They? Who exactly were 'they'?

Joseph's eyes widened when he saw who 'they' were.

Since when did bodyguards look like some K-pop group?!

Joseph's mind went reeling again.

Just everything about the Smiths would send Joseph into a loop.

? Author only posts on w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l. ?

Kay breathed a sigh of relief.

They had reached the airport safely.

Luckily, the kids didn't seem to have noticed that they had been followed and chased here. They had seemed too engrossed in the stories of Kyle that she told them to keep them preoccupied.

Correction.

Lianne was probably aware but she was not showing like she saw anything out of the ordinary. There was just something about it that tipped Kay off. Perhaps it was the way she glanced behind a few times.

Joseph didn't appear to have noticed anything, as he was giving her his full attention during her narrative. Kay preferred it that way. He was still so young, so it would be better that he maintained his innocence.

The only problem they faced was when they were about to enter into the immigration area. Zero was not allowed in, although they had already obtained clearance.

Kay was annoyed at this, but she could not show it. She didn't want to scare the kids.

Anyway, she was confident that the Team would be able to send back-up soon. Such variables were still within their means to overcome. Zero was just going to be super p*ssed, that's all.

Still, she didn't expect Joseph to almost blow Akira's cover. In her haste to stop him from doing so, she grabbed his hand.
