บท 216: I Don't Want to Lose This

Malcom walked casually to his home. As he advanced, he remembered that her mother was supposed to return that same day. 

As he walked, he could not help but feel concerned as well. 

What if someone had attacked her? What if someone had hurt her?

When he approached the building, he saw his friend Benjamin waiting for him. 

Ben smiled when he saw Malcom. He waved his hand towards him in greeting. 

Malcom looked towards his balcony with unmasked worry. 

Realizing what his friend was concerned about, Ben assured, "Don't worry, and her flight was delayed due to the sandstorm that turned out to be a dragon. She did not return. Because of all this, I recommended that she stay in the countryside a little longer." 

Malcom nodded. He was much more relieved. He gratefully smiled as he looked at Ben.
