Chapter 429


    "Beautifuldy, are we leaving soon?" Lily asked when she woke up.


    "Yup, is there anything else that you want to do?" Vania nodded.


    "Nope. Let''s go." Lily shook her head.


    Before leaving, Vania wanted to bid goodbye to the others, but she didn''t see a single soul as she


    walked around. Because of that, she realized it was probably what the Great Chemist wanted.


    When Lily walked to the stone gate, she turned around and took a look around for thest time before


    telling Vania, "I know the way out. Please follow my lead."


    After two hours, they managed to find their way out of the mountain while being guided by Lily. The


    route they took was different from the one they took to enter the mountain. When they turned around,


    they noticed that the winding paths that they took had disappeared. The ce seemed to be magical,


    like Xanadu.


    Vania was in awe of everything that had happened. Just then, Hanson carried Lily and asked softly,


    "Are you afraid of riding a chopper? We will be taking er."


    The moment Hanson carried Lily, she was stunned, but at the same time, felt especially at home.


    However, she pouted her lips and replied, "I''m not a scaredy-cat." She then tried to wiggle herself out


    of his arms and go to Vania, but Hanson refused to let go while he smiled at her.


    By then, the helicopter was already hovering in mid-air. As it wasn''t an idealnding site, they could


    only get into the helicopter by climbing up the ropedder.


    "Darling, are you ok?" Hanson looked at Vania and Lily.


    "I''ll go first and carry Lily when I''m in."


    When he saw that Vania had gotten into the cabin, he looked at Lily and said, "Hold on to me tightly."


    "I can do it myself." She looked so confident, which resembled Vania. In the end, Lily managed to climb


    up all by herself.


    Throughout the ride, Vania shared some knowledge with Lily so that she could know more about the


    outside world.


    The first thing they did when they reached Gondalwelt was to go meet Old Mr. Bamboo. It seemed like


    more people had gathered at the Bamboo Pavilion to listen to his stories.


    When one of the staff in the store saw Hanson entering, he walked over and said with a smile, "Sir, this


    way, please. Mr. Bamboo mentioned that you''ll be back, but we never expected that it would be this


    soon."


    As they entered the room, they saw Old Mr. Bamboo sitting by his desk and reading ''Legend of the


    Great Chemist'' while reminiscing about the past.


    "Old Mr. Bamboo." Hanson passed him the pouch.


    The sight of the pouch surprised him. "All of you finally get to see it. I have no more regrets," he said as


    his hands trembled.


    He then looked over at Lily, who was in Vaina''s arms, and smiled. "Both of you are fated to meet."


    Vania didn''t put much thought into the Great Chemist''s words, but now that Old Mr. Bamboo said the


    same thing, she was confused and asked, "Why would you say so?"

    "In my humble opinion, both of you look very alike." He had an approving smile.


    His words seemed to have given Vania an answer. She never noticed their resemnce prior to this,


    but after hearing his words, she looked at Lily and said, "It means that we do look like a family."


    After chatting for a while, both Vania and Hanson rejected Old Mr. Bamboo''s offer to stay the night, and


    they took a private jet back to Hammond. To Vania, the eight-hour flight felt like forever. Once their flight


    touched down at the airport, she dashed out of the ne while carrying Lily in her arms.


    Five of their children had been waiting outside the airport for a while now. As soon as they caught a


    glimpse of their parents, they cheered, "Mommy, Daddy!"


    "Darlings, Mommy made it! We can save your little brother now."
