"Fish, you're back quite quickly!"
Ruth Upperton seemed as if she had been prepared to welcome him, rushing over first to grab his hand with concern, "The sudden change in weather, you didn't get caught in the rain, did you?"
"Where are my brother and sister-in-law?"
Lude Johnsons responded with a question instead, solely concerned about their whereabouts, scanning the spacious living room but found no trace of them!
He grew anxious and immediately pressed on, "Grandma, are you lying to me? My brother and sister-in-law haven't come back at all, have they?"
"Come inside and talk, don't leave Xander Harl standing outside, you see the downpour is getting heavy."
Ruth Upperton, with a mysterious smile, led the two into the living room and pressed Lude onto the sofa, but he resisted non-stop, "Grandma, what exactly are you up to? My brother's phone has been off, he's lost contact, did you know?"
