Polina Powell spoke up to this point, her keen eyes tinged with a saddened look, making it evident that she was in distress.

"As it turns out, some things indeed went as your Grandpa Brooke had predicted. Each having their own new lives to lead, they couldn't possibly devote their full attention to Landon, and with Landon's sensitive nature, he wouldn't want to be seen as a burden by them either. After your Grandpa Brooke announced this decision, Landon didn't object..."
"But his mother also said that if Landon didn't go with her, then he couldn't go with Xavier either. Moreover, she might not be able to come back to care for Landon... Later, both of them were preoccupied with their own affairs and rarely returned over the years, as you've seen."
