âAlpha Eduardo, you can count on us.
Weâll follow Debraâs lead and do whatever she requests.
Even if sheâs got a wild urge to demolish a brand-new house, weâre on a mission to help her unearth that bomb.
We wonât let her tackle it solo!â
My father chuckled and the lines on his forehead eased.
I approached my father with Elena and Dylan and told the kids, âGrandpaâs leaving soon.
If you want to say goodbye, do it quickly.
â
Elena wrapped my father in a tight hug and said, âGrandpa, youâve got to remember us once youâre back.
Weâll miss you.
Besides, if you are free, please come and see us.
â
âOkay.
â With a tender smile, my father affectionately scratched her nose.
âCount on it, kiddo.
Itâs a deal.
â
Dylan bit his lip, clutching onto my fatherâs shirt, and implored, âGrandpa, please donât go, okay?â
It was crystal clear that Dylan wasnât ready to bid farewell to his grandfather.
They hadnât spent nearly enough time together, and Dylanâs curiosity about his grandfather burned bright as he fervently begged.
Debraâs POV:
I squatted down and comforted the child patiently.
âDylan, donât worry.
Weâll go back to the Silver Ridge Pack soon.
Youâll have plenty of opportunities to spend time with your grandpa.
â
âReally?â Dylan asked skeptically.
âOf course.
â I smiled at him.
âI promise Iâll take you to visit your grandpa one of these days.
â
Fortunately, Dylan was an obedient child, so he didnât try to argue with me.
He loosened his grip on my fatherâs clothes and said reluctantly, âOkay.
â
With a doting look, my father gently ruffled Dylanâs hair.
But when he saw how thin the child was, his expression turned anxious.
âDebra, Dylanâs illness is too strange.

My father had come to the hospital to visit Dylan every day this past week, so he saw how bad Dylanâs condition was.
Now that he was leaving, naturally, he was worried about what would happen to Dylan in his absence.
âIâm going to ask around to see if thereâs a cure.
â
âNo, donât!â
I blurted out anxiously.
Aside from the fact that we already found medicine in Roz Town, we couldnât let anyone know about Dylanâs illness, which would inevitably happen if my father started asking around for potential cures.
Because once Dylanâs illness was known to outsiders, it wouldnât take long before theyâd find out that the other children of the Thorn Edge Pack were afflicted as well.
Undoubtedly, people from other packs would use this as an opportunity to take advantage of or even conquer the Thorn Edge Pack.
