Chapter 55 Why Was He There?

  As they passed through a bush, Elaine caught sight of the hut in the distance.

  She couldn't contain her relief, "Thank goodness we're finally here!"

  Lonn walked on, his eyes scanning their surroundings, while Elaine searched his bag and found a long, thin dagger. She didn't want to take any chances, so she took the dagger and put it in her own bag.

  Once they arrived at the hut, Lonn went inside to change his clothes. Elaine waited outside, her attention still on Lonn's dagger.

  She peeked through the gaps in the wooden walls and saw Lonn searching for his dagger.

  Her heart sank, fearing what he might do with it. After a while, Lonn still hadn't come out and Elaine called out to him, "Lonn, are you done yet? My clothes are wet too."

  "Oh, I may have left something behind. I'm not sure if it's in your bag," Lonn's voice wavered a little, hinting at his eagerness to confirm what was inside Elaine's bag.
