He raised his hand and signaled the girl to pause, and then he picked up his phone and answered it, "Hello, Sergio. What's the matter? Is something up?"
An urgent voice could be heard saying on the other end of the phone, "Mister Yates, I am now in the county next to where you’re at. I'm in a valley that's even further away from the county you're in. I heard that there are plenty of—"
"Wait for me there! No matter if Yvonne is in that village in the mountains or not, I have to personally make a trip there. Just in case I can meet her there. Even if I had to risk my life, I have to take her away.
Sergio, wait for me. I'll come as soon as I can!" Kingston said with great urgency.
Upon saying that, he started putting his suit on.
"What's the matter?" asked the girl.
"I'm sorry. Stay at this hotel today.
Something's come up, so I have to go. I may not return today," Kingston said to the girl hurriedly.
"You're looking for your family, right?" the girl asked.
"I've got to go. Recuperate here. I'll be going over now," Kingston replied.
The girl immediately grabbed Kingston’s arm. "Mister..."
When she addressed him as mister, Kingston suddenly felt a little warm.
"I am familiar with this area, the counties nearby, and also the valleys. If you're looking for your cousin, I may be able to lend you a hand. The injuries on my head are fine. They are just superficial wounds. I'll follow you. I can endure hardships, so I'll be fine. I might even be able to be of great help to you at critical moments," the girl said sincerely.
Kingston thought about it, and then he nodded. "Alright! Let's go!"
After he had already put on his suit, he suddenly thought that he would be trekking through the mountains and rivers later, so he took off his suit again. Then, he changed into workwear. He originally wanted to shave his beard after he came back to the hotel, but before he managed to tidy himself up, he had to depart again.
