"Hmm," Marcus replied with a hum as he got up and said, "I have to get back. Thanks for taking out the bullet."
"Not at all. It's the least I could do for you, especially when you saved my daughter," William said with a smile and he sincerely meant every single word.
Marcus then went outside the house while Nathasia followed him before saying to her parents, "I will say goodbye and come back!"
"Natty, wait!" Laina called out, but Nathasia had already gone out to follow Marcus.
She then looked at William and asked, "Why did you tell him he can come again? I thought we were trying to have no strangers over here and just live a secluded life."
William sighed as he said, "He is quite strong, it seems, and we could really use the help of someone in the military if things go sideways."
