After hours of walking, changing buses, and sharing endless conversations, they finally reached the small village where Valindra lived.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i3DPYy2Cu

As soon as she saw the familiar road leading to her house, she smiled brightly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIW5nefAIb

"We're here."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nlJE1zp4Q

Methon looked around.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPCAyjdGEa

The village was peaceful, surrounded by green fields and old trees. It was completely different from the noisy city he had left behind.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXNI7uhy4e

Before they could reach the gate, someone shouted,

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnMmvnRR4c

"Valindra!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbKZ5JvNl1

Within seconds, the front door burst open.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgTbD8mMt2

Her younger brother ran toward her first, followed by her grandmother, grandfather, parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnijEFMUZDP

Everyone surrounded her at once.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizXyKf83cs

"Where were you?"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw5WS1N2SM

"We were so worried!"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMLwOHwx3

"Why didn't you answer your phone?"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRdhdlv0o6

Her mother hugged her tightly while tears rolled down her cheeks.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYl5RG2u6H

Valindra smiled apologetically.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfG55wXUQ3

"I'm sorry..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKzipN0LQt

"I missed my train."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcWGjoeds

"Twice."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUTAGuRBeo

The entire family stared at her.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FkXTqQi6x

"Twice?"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFEt72XBLu

She laughed nervously.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPU36BPQ6t

"It's a long story."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AoPBtWLnc

Her grandfather finally noticed Methon standing a few steps away.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvwNSAzSli

"And who is this young man?"

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK6HT4ELC9

Valindra turned toward him.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBckZLhX0A9

"This is Methon."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5tUbqPQ4H

"He helped me."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRovh8YmcFV

"When I was alone, he stayed with me."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JoAD0nxcI

"He made sure I reached home safely."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqanQzKD2Lw

"If he hadn't been there..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uVoXntLlv

"I don't know what would have happened."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSIesoLz3f

The family immediately looked at Methon with gratitude.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizLOO8wL2n

Her father walked forward and warmly shook his hand.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZUOIy4hWN

"Thank you."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQxgq2rTgE

"You protected our daughter."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79S3DOT9aa

"You'll always be welcome in this house."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmtvgbMM1P

Methon smiled politely.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeUfjeOe7I

"I only did what anyone should have done."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAJNF0uNCN

"No," her grandfather replied.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwmOeSWYbH

"Not everyone would."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98pzVjVdVl

"You did."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4u8OuaT4c

Valindra's grandmother smiled warmly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqQC28fvEH

"Come inside."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jh52yAHwD

"You're not leaving today."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJKhMJvSBE

Methon hesitated.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVOEdbHcRb

"I should go."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdNOmqApHC

Her father shook his head firmly.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8akH8mbDc

"Absolutely not."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLVeVwkL0e

"You've travelled all night."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE0pbHRgup

"You'll stay here for a few days."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpPNLsu796

"Consider this your home."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVLPmy4uNQ

Before Methon could refuse again, Valindra smiled.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM3fP6zF0y

"I told you."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4vkHu9VBb

"You owe me."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrejz3OwhRB

"You made me miss two trains."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHYPokXlb

"So now..."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ8eD9diBz

"You have to stay."

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozjVWFaHL

Everyone laughed.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoz5sm7wCw

For the first time in many months...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Kp4pGede

Methon felt something he had almost forgotten.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZGfqebci2

The warmth of a family.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjDdizgdgM

A home filled with laughter.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryMGgkqBOW

No business meetings.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EuFDhK6Lh

No loneliness.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvGaJRYyJg

No memories of betrayal.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJutC3R7Ewb

Just simple happiness.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15tak3qOB8

That evening, everyone sat together for dinner.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gKXalFg1B

The family laughed, shared stories, and treated Methon as if he had always belonged there.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRHB9eSrKQ

He quietly looked around the dining table.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW1EIO65Vs

Then at Valindra.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnzO2RnqfH

She was laughing with her younger brother while stealing food from his plate.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r9OCHZNyx

Completely carefree.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58TUt8ju9N

Completely alive.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQQH4Gpj8f

Without realizing it...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse0TgmigoD

Methon smiled again.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KzlYD3f15

And this time...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaQsTvoxsK

He didn't try to hide it.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH4jIY3VEi

Far away, the evening sun disappeared behind the fields.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeMfqq0hv2

Neither of them knew...

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOVOb6rkJ0

That the peaceful days ahead would quietly begin changing both of their hearts forever.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIa1dP9H0G
