"Alaina, have you found Arvis?" Avon asked anxiously on the phone.
Alaina had just got out of the taxi. Hearing this, she could only shake her head bitterly, "No."
"Alas!" Avon was very worried, "It has been a long time. Why haven't we got any news?"
"..."
"Alaina." Avon hesitated for a moment, "Could it be that Arvis has been..."
Before he could finish his words, Alaina said excitedly, "No! You're not allowed to think like that!"
"Alaina, I'm... just..."
"Arvis will be fine!" Alaina said each word with great strength. She wanted to tell Avon that Arvis would be safe and sound, and she wanted to convince herself that Arvis would be all right.
A few hours had passed. She had walked so many streets, searched for so many places, and asked so many people, but all she got was disappointment.
As time went by, her broken heart became more grieved and doleful undoubtedly.
