Chapter 38 The Flights Are Cancelled
I felt disappointed and went in the gate. Actually, at that moment, I wished he could go with me. And that should also be my parents‘ wish.
However, he hurriedly left. Maybe someone urged him on the phone. I comforted myself. I called Eleanor and told her about my flight. Then, I sat in the waiting hall and waited for my plane anxiously.
Oswald just went to my hometown with me three times.
The first time was the year we graduated. We became a couple and he went to visit my parents with me.
The second time was the year we decided to start a business. We didn’t have enough start–up capital and wanted to borrow some money.
The third time, he insisted on taking me home to thank my parents. They used their house to take out mortgages for us.
After that, we had never come back to my hometown together, because he was too busy.
My parents understood us. They said it was not easy for us to start a business. We had to concentrate on this. In the first two years, we were really busy and had no holidays. We started a business with just us two people. And now, we had a small company. It took us four years to do
this.
Then, I was pregnant back then. I came to see my parents by myself. After that, till I gave birth to Jocelyn, my parents came to River City to see me. We didn’t have many chances to stay together and we always had excuses.
But this time, my father got sick.

No matter what I thought, I was very upset. I felt sorry for my parents. What did I do for them these years?
I was so anxious. However, the broadcast reported that the flights were delayed.
There were more and more people waiting at the airport. It gradually became dark outside. It was 8 o’clock p.m. My flight was delayed over 7 hours. I just needed 4 hours to fly to my hometown, but I was waiting here for 7 hours and couldn’t get on the plane.
Until 10:40 p.m., the airport told us that because the typhoon was coming, the flights were cancelled.
Hearing the broadcast, I froze. How could this be?
The staff of the airport started to ask people to leave. I trembled and took out my phone to call my mom. I said as if I lumped in my throat. I told my mom that the flights were cancelled.
Hearing my words, my mom comforted me, “Cass, don’t be anxious. Your dad gets better in the afternoon. The doctor said he’s not dangerous now Luckily, we sent him to the hospital in time. He could recover. Don’t worry. You can come back when the flights resume.”
I said to my mom, “Maybe I can take the train. I’m just afraid that you’ll be worried.”
“No. The pandemic is serious now. If your dad gets better tomorrow morning, you just stay there. When the pandemic ends, you can come to see us. Take care of Jocelyn.”
“Mom…” I sobbed, “I’m sorry!”
My mom said firmly, “It’s okay. I know it. Don’t worry. Just go home, good girl. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
After I hung up the phone, I squatted down, hugged myself, and cried

I really regretted it now. Why didn’t I stay by my parents‘ side back then?
Too many people were stranded in the airport. The staff of the airport arranged for us to leave. I couldn’t take a taxi now. And many people were waiting in line for the bus.
I called Oswald and his phone was turned off. Maybe his phone was powered off. Otherwise, he shouldn’t turn off his phone. After all, he asked me to call him when I got off the plane.
I stood in the crowd blankly. I didn’t want to trouble Eleanor. I planned to leave after the crowd left.
So many people wanted to leave the airport as soon as possible. I also followed the crowd to walk forward. Several young men rushed over and hit me. My suitcase got out of my hands.
I managed to stand still, endured the pain, and wanted to get my suitcase. When I bent over, a hurried man with a huge suitcase ran out. When I found him, I didn’t have time to move…
