Chapter 29: First Test

"Dad! I'm going to be late!"

Early in the morning, when Judith woke, she went straight to Borg's room to wake him up.

However, when she reached her dad's room, she found that the door was jammed shut. 

This made Judith concerned. After a minute, she broke into the room. When she broke in, she found that the bed was empty.

There was only a note on the messy bed. When she took a closer look, Judith almost went mad! 

"My distant cousin has given birth. She wants me to go over and look after her for a few days. I have no choice but to leave. I'm sorry. You have a good time in Africa. Pay attention to your safety, and don't do anything stupid! Love, Dad."

After reading the note, Judith knew her father was making up an excuse.

He had no cousin. Judith had never met any relatives in her family in all these years.

It was obvious that he didn't want to go.

But after a short spark of anger, Judith felt a little relieved.
