Chapter 570 Judy's POV "Are you sure you want to leave? It just seems so sudden," my mother said, watchingas I pack my belongings. Nan was also in my room, a frown marring her face. I told them late last night that I had an early flight this morning. I hated that I was leaving without much warning, but I needed to get out of here; I needed to start fresh away from Gavin Landry.
"I'm sorry that I'm just taking off like this," I told them without meeting their eyes. "But this is something I need to do. Plus, it's a huge opportunity. The Redcliff pack is one of the largest packs in the world, and their Elite force is huge." "Not as big as the Silver Crescent pack," Nan told me, folding her arms across her chest. "Gavin hasn't offeredanything," I muttered. "Plus, you know why I can't stay here, Nan." She sighed, running her fingers through her hair.
"I just wish you would take the tto think about it a bit before you make any drastic decisions." "I had thought about it, and I need to leave..." I told them, tears filling my eyes. I refused to look at them, though; I didn't want them to see my sadness. "I can't watch him have a baby with another woman..." My voice broke when I broke that sentence. I hadn't realized I was trembling until my mother ctowards me, her arms outstretched as she pulledinto her arms. The second I was engulfed in her warmth, I lost it. Tears soaked my cheeks and into her shirt as I cried. She heldtightly, her own tears spilling down her cheeks.
"I will support whatever decision you make," she whispered. "I love you so much, Judy. Just know that you will always have a hhere." I nodded as my mother pulled back to look at me, a small smile on her tear-filled face.

"You look... different," she said, almost thoughtfully. "There's a glow about you..." I frowned.
"I don't really feel any different," I admitted. "Just hollow." She gavea sad look and then nodded as she released her hold on me.
"We will help you finish packing," my mom toldas she went to grab another suitcase from the closet. Nan pushed herself off the door and strolled over to me, a warm and yet sad look in her eyes.
"What am I going to do without my best friend?" She asked, her lip trembling.
"You'll still have me," I assured her. "We will video call all the time, and I'm making you and Chester visit me. And if you choose to adopt Emalyn, she'll cvisit too." Nan blushed.
"Actually, we plan to meet with Gavin about it next week. I'm so nervous," she admitted. I couldn't help but be happy for my best friend. I hugged her tightly.
"Oh, Nan. I'm so happy for you. You're going to be a wonderful mom," I told her. "It's not set in stone yet. It's just a meeting," she told me, but I could hear the excitement in her tone.
"Trust me, everything will work out exactly how you want it to," I assured her, pulling back so I could look at her. "I'm so happy for you." She grinned.
"You know, your mom is right. There's something different about you. Maybe more mature?" I laughed.
