Chapter 167

167 Before Really Leaving

Before she left the man who had always been with her and provided for her, Kalea wanted to take care of the things she would be leaving behind in the city. Kalea would still go to college but would take care of her leave. She intended to postpone her studies for one year. Kalea did not come to class but walked straight to the lecturer’s office, where her homeroom lecturer was. She had previously contacted the lecturer. And filled out the leave application on the campus website.

“May I know why you want to take a leave of absence, Miss. Lovaata?” asked a lecturer named Mrs. Madge.

“There are many things, ma’am. I want to calm down after going through so much on this campus,” Kalea replied with no expression at all.

“Like when you were bullied?”

“Yes.”

Mrs. Madge just nodded, Kalea knew her lecturer was even one of the lecturers who turned to dislike her because of the rumors that Aluna brought back then. Mrs. Madge must have been very disappointed that the student she was always proud of turned out to be the mistress of a much older man. Kalea agreed, even though everyone did not know Kalea’s true life.

After the leave arrangement was accepted, without going anywhere else, Kalea immediately stepped out to the parking lot. She did not even want to see Zeline first. She had no intention of telling the blonde girl about her escape. Because she thought that Zeline could eventually tell Arthur about her and thwart her action.

The car now stopped at the place where the mother was being treated. Kalea wanted to try one more time to bring Freya home.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Nurse Aida is happy to take Kalea to Freya, who is busy talking with friends who share the same fate. Freya turned to Kalea when Nurse Aida called her. A faint smile was etched on the brunette’s lips.

.....

“Mom, are you sure you want to stay here? Let’s go home, I really want to stay with you again,” Kalea pleaded for the second time as she held her mother’s hand.

However, Freya’s expression turned sad and she shook her head. This successfully disappointed Kalea.

“Dear, live happily without Mom. You must have enjoyed a safe life without me by your side,” Freya refused as politely as possible.

“But this isn’t where Mom is now, you’ve been well!”

“Yeah, then can I ask to trouble you one more time? I want to live in a nursing home.” Now it was Freya who held her daughter’s hand tightly.

The look of disappointment became clear on Kalea’s face. Her mother really insisted on not wanting to live with her. “Mom, don’t you want to be with me until the end? Who said my life was safe and peaceful? I was completely alone until now,” Kalea said with a trembling tone of voice holding back tears even though her eyes were already red and teary. Kalea lowered her head, gently releasing her mother’s hand from her. “Alright, if that’s what you want. I will take care of it directly today.”

“Lea ....” Freya looked up at the child who started to get up from her seat.

“I hope you’re always happy,” Kalea said with a faint smile and then approached Freya and hugged her. “I love you.”

Without saying anything else, Kalea excuses herself from Freya and walks off to nurse Aida about Freya’s return and transfer to a nursing home. Kalea asked for recommendations on a good nursing home for her mother.

“Can this place also deliver to a nursing home?” Kalea asked Aida.

“For that, we can’t-”

“I’ll pay whatever it takes,” Kalea cut in, her face so serious that even Aida and the other nurses fell silent, some looking at each other.

“Okay, we’ll try to contact the other officers,” Nurse Aida replied and told the other nurses to do so. Aida looked worried at Kalea’s current condition, which was much different from the last time they met. “Miss, are you okay?”

“Hm? Yes, I am. I just want to do what Mother asked me to do to stay at the orphanage,” Kalea replied with a smile, completely at ease. “Ah, please also don’t tell Mr. Jefferson about this. Don’t tell him where my mother’s home will be,” the girl pleaded.

Aida simply nodded in compliance with Kalea’s request. That day, everything Kalea wanted to take care of was done. Kalea did not escort Freya to the nursing home. She only said goodbye by hugging her mother one last time before she left the city. She had only one year to calm down.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned dark. Kalea only arrived at the penthouse after she went to buy a new cell phone that was simpler than the one Arthur had bought her.

“I’ll go tomorrow,” Kalea muttered as she tossed her expensive cell phone onto the bed. She sat on the side of the bed staring at her new, smaller phone. Kalea’s heart was set on running away from an asshole like Arthur. Especially since his last message said he would not be returning to the penthouse. She just needed to bring some clothes and other essentials.

That night, Kalea finished everything. Even though she was very tired because she had been active all day, even to the point of eating late. However, this was all she wanted. To leave Arthur’s life as soon as possible, this was also what her sugar daddy wanted.

Kalea decided to wash her body before going to bed. She was going to enjoy her last time in this luxurious penthouse.

In the early morning, Kalea was already preparing to leave because she did not want to meet and be suspected by many people. After all, she had chosen an early morning departure time. She did not care about the cctv in the luxury apartment, Arthur would know after checking the cctv that she had escaped because of the suitcase Kalea was carrying. However, that was about it. Kalea also left the cell phone that Arthur had bought on the bed. She did not bring her car, so she decided to use public transportation.

In fact, Kalea did not even know where she was going to escape to. What was certain was that she had to get out of there first.

Kalea arrived at the train station. She showed her boarding pass and identity card to the staff. And after everything was done, she just had to wait for the train to arrive. Kalea ate the potato chips she always brought with her as she watched the train come and go.

Shortly after, the loudspeaker announced that the train had arrived. Kalea got up from her seat and pulled her suitcase. She entered the train and placed her luggage in the space provided. Kalea sat facing the window, waiting for the train to start moving again.
