“He's still frantically looking for you in the Riverton region. Rumors are flying about him and Isabella. That Miss Isabella seems like bad news to me, and with you missing, I didn't want to pry into his personal affairs. What do you think? Are you going to ask him about it?”
“Chris, don't worry. I'll go find him. Don't take those rumors to heart. Even if they were true, it doesn't matter. Do you think your sister can't find anyone else?”
“That's not what I meant. You and Dylan were doing fine, and suddenly someone comes along to steal my brother-in-law. I'm just feeling indignant for you.”
“My good brother, stop worrying. If he can be stolen away, then he wasn't mine to begin with! No explanation needed.”
Chris poked Elena's nose. “You certainly look on the bright side. I was worried to death for you.”

Staying home for a day made Elena feel incredibly happy.
There was no place more comfortable than home.
Early the next morning, she went to check in at school.
She hadn't been to class in a long time.
When Michelle saw Elena, she hugged her excitedly.
“Elena, I didn't think you'd come back. I thought you... I thought you...”
“Thought I was dead, right?”
“Yeah, it was chaotic that day... I was really scared.”
Elena patted her head. “Don't worry. I'm fine now. I'm tough to kill! You're the one who suffered. Were you hurt? Did they do anything to you?”
“No, nothing. They just used me to threaten you. Later, Mr. Sinclair brought me back. By the way, do you know about Mr. Sinclair and Isabella?”
Elena smiled. “Why is it that the moment I get back, everyone wants to talk to me about this?”
“Aren't you worried? Your fiancé has been stolen. What are you going to do!”
“Deal with it. Come on, let's go to class. It's been a while. You go in first; I'm going to the office to find the homeroom teacher. I've missed so many days, I'm afraid my credits will be docked.”
Elena went to the office to explain herself, and when she came out, she ran into Bianca.
