Chapter 256: Separation Anxiety

Violet held her baby all night until the time came that she must leave. She knew that they would be after her soon. It would take 29 hours for them to find out about her location. She was crying while she's packing her things. That's why Maxine was the one who picked up a few of her clothes so she could hold Kal for a few more minutes. 

"Call me if he got sick, okay?" Violet sniffled as she told Maxine. 

"Yes, I will." Maxine smiled at her as she had it ready. 

"Violet, we need to go." Viper said. Violet hiccuped and kissed her son's head. 

"I'll see you very soon, little love." 

Maxine carefully took Kal from Violet. She felt sad as she watched Violet take her bag. She wiped her tears and Viper held both of her arms. Viper took the bag from her. 

"Vi, let's go. We don't have much time." 

Violet walked heavily out and Maxine followed her with Kal who have his eyes wide and watching his mother. She stopped and approached his son. 

"Mama loves you. Papa loves you." She whispered and kissed Kal's hand. "I will be back my angel." 

He cooed. Violet wiped her tears and thanked Maxine who nodded her head. Maxine was keeping her emotions composed as she watched Violet leave with Viper. She watched from the monitor as their car left the mansion. Maxine sat on the sofa and looked at Kal's expression. He was pouting and his brows creased as his arms and legs wiggled. He cried and Maxine carefully hushed her. 

"Shh, everything will be alright," Maxine whispered to him. She hugged Kal and stood as she danced with him carefully. Terrence was currently busy packing up Kal's crib and other baby equipment. 

"What's wrong, love?" Terrence approached her and peeked at Kal who was crying with tears. 

"He won't stop crying." Maxine felt her tears roll down her cheeks. 

"Hush," he wiped her cheeks as he carefully took Kal and lifted him. "Hey, young man. We are going on a trip. Stop crying, okay?" 

Kal stopped crying but he was still tearing. 

"I know that you are sad. But your momma has to go to work. So please behave. Okay?" 

Kal was still pouting and he carefully gave him back to Maxine who hugged Kal. 

"It won't take long." Terrence reached his wife's cheeks. "The RV is ready, okay?" 

She nodded her head. Since it's like a thirteen hours trip, Terrence bought an RV that has a bedroom, kitchen, and toilet. They could live there. He wanted to give Maxine and Kal a comfortable trip. He's been taking care of it since last night and earlier this morning. Maxine knew that he was tired, that's why she put Kal in the baby carrier like a bag. 

"Little love, stay there for a while, okay?" She went to the kitchen and prepared coffee for her husband and snacks. They will leave in two hours. 

She went to the garage and handed it to him. 

"Thank you." He kissed her lips. "It's all done now, my love." 

"Take a break, then." 

Terrence peeks at Kal behind her back and the baby giggled. 

"Let's have one after all of these are done," Terrence said. 

"We already have one." 

"I know, but our very own." He admired baby Kal who was staring at him. "Young man, don't stare at me like that. We aren't going to abandon you. Besides, we will give you a sibling. Maybe a little sister, how about that?" 

Kal cooed with wide eyes. After Maxine was dressed well, she took baby Kal inside the RV, waiting for Terrence to close the mansion. She carefully put Kal in his built-in baby bed and turned on the lullaby that he loves. She took a photo of him using the Polaroid. She put the film on the box that she provided to keep all of Kal's memories. 

"Love?" She called and peeked at the RV. Terrence signed her to stay there. She froze and quickly moved closer to Kal protectively. 

Terrence already shut down the house and there is a chance that Charles' assassins are waiting there. She peeked at the window and watched as Terrence made calls. It took a long time when he approached the car and the agents signed them to leave. 

"Love," Maxine called as she panicked a little. 

"It's alright. They didn't know about the RV or you." He started the car and the air conditioner. Maxine stayed beside Kal and put the strap on to hold him. 

They passed by the subdivision and after a thirty minutes drive, she was relieved when Terrence said that she could rest. But how can she rest when her husband was also tired. 

"Love, but you are tired and didn't have any sleep," Maxine told him. 

"I'm fine. We will stay in the camping place for an hour. Since Kal is sleeping, you should take a nap too, love."

Maxine didn't retaliate. So, she climbed up on the bed just beside Kal as she lay down and held Kal's small hand. 

"Tell me if you are tired, my love," Maxine said softly. "You know that I can drive." 

"I will."

Violet was staring at nowhere while she's staying in the room that the Rossie Empire provided. It was a wide room, a Princess-like room but it wouldn't do. She felt cold and she felt so small inside the wide room. Her chest was tight as she thought of being away from her baby. 

She hesitated to call Maxine but she can't use her phone right now. Ian will provide a new one tomorrow and she will have to wait. 

"Kal," She whispered as she looked at her baby's photo. A soft knock on the room caught her attention and the door opened. Karmina came with a maid. 

"You didn't attend dinner," Karmina said as the maid put the tray over the table and set it up. 

"I'm sorry," Violet mumbled. 

"I know that it's hard to be away from your baby. I also have separation anxiety." She smiled as she sat at the edge of the bed. "I felt that from Harvey and mostly to Keira. Although I didn't give birth to Harvey, he's still my son." 

"So, is it true that Harvey wasn't your son?" 

"He's my son," Karmina said. "I don't know what his biological mother said but that egg was mine and I believe that it was Harvey. We both shared DNA with Harvey and I don't care if she would say that Harvey is not mine but her and Henry's." 

"I don't understand. Why would the surrogate mother tell Harvey?" 

Karmina pursed her lips as she remembered those times. She was overprotective of Harvey and they paid the woman well. 

"She found out that we become rich and she tried to seduce my husband." Karmina smiled bitterly. 

"I'm sorry if I ask." 

"No, don't worry about it." Karmina smiled at her, gently. "You are Victor's sister. My Jo's sister-in-law. We are family now, Violet." 

Violet nodded at her as she stretched her legs. 

"Did she win over your husband?" 

Karmina smiled charmingly. 

"My husband was loyal to me. No. He pressed charges toward her and filed a restraining order. Harvey was in his teens at that time. He knew what was going on and he chose to stay with us and to be with his little sister." 

"Harvey declined to be Rossie's heir." 

"Yes, but still, he's the heir and so were Keira and Jo." 

"Jo is your adoptive… are you certain~~" 

"Yes, we are family." Karmina nodded her head. "Jo isn't my blood, but she protected Keira for such a long time. I know that she wouldn't betray us." 

Violet looked down at the photo and smiled. 

"I know that you are feeling anxious, my dear. But you must eat so you could get back to your husband. I will provide everything that you want and need." 

"I want my baby, but I know that it's not an option." Violet smiled bitterly. 

"Yes," Karmina nodded. "You can't take any anxiety medication. It'll be bad for your health." 

She looked at the food and Karmina stood. 

"Eat up. It's still hot. If you still can't sleep, you can go downstairs or watch movies. Everything is upgraded here. I think the boys are in the game room, you can check on them." 

"I will." She nodded her head. 

"I will be leaving now. Good night." Karmina walked around and kissed her forehead like she was her daughter. Then, she watched as Karmina left her room. Violet never felt that warm kiss. A warm motherly kiss. Although she's an adult, she suddenly felt like a little girl who wants motherly love and care. 

She slipped off from the bed and went to the table. She sat down and sipped on the freshly squeezed juice. She smiled at the good plating of beefsteak and vegetables. She sliced the beef into bits as she sniffled. She put the photo of her son and leaned it on the pitcher. 

"I hope you are also well, my little love. I can't wait to be with you."
