Hello, Mr Werewolf.

Chapter 25: The Guardian

Bonnie's friend? But I've never seen you before. The middle-aged woman sounded suspicious.

'Huh...' Glenn smiled harmlessly, "My name is Glenn ma'am, you can ask Bonnie, she should know me."

'Just a moment,' the middle-aged woman said politely before closing the door.

Glenn waited patiently for a moment and the door opened again, this time it was the greedy little girl Bonnie who opened the door.

Mr Glenn?"

The little girl had obviously lost a lot of weight since last time, and the lively and cheerful aura she had had was gone, as if she had been ill.

I heard about you and Leila. I was worried about you, so I came to see...' Glenn paused slightly, 'Can we go inside and talk?

'Um... please come in,' Bonnie said as if she had just woken up and immediately made room.

Entering this house, which was slightly better than the others, Glenn, not wanting to appear rude, only glanced around for a moment before looking away.

He placed the cloth bag he was holding on the table and at that moment he also noticed the food on the table.

A staple in most households... this thought crossed Glenn's mind.

You two talk, I'll go wash the clothes,' Bonnie's mother knew that she should give the young people some space to talk, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.

Although she knew it was inappropriate to leave her daughter with a person of the opposite s*x who was not much older than her, she hoped that this so-called friend might make her daughter feel better.

Yes, ma'am," Glenn said with a smile.

As Bonnie's mother left, Bonnie suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. After all, she and Glenn had just met, and he was a man. It was easy to imagine the awkwardness of being in the same room.

You must have been really scared the other day," Glenn said, making Bonnie feel better as her face grew redder and redder.

She was silent, not knowing how to answer.

But Glenn continued:

I have a rough idea of what happened that day. I'm really sorry that it happened. I'm partly to blame, I know.

Please don't say that, Mr Glenn. No one could have predicted what would happen the next moment. Bonnie heard the self-blame in Glenn's tone and waved her hands hastily.

Glenn smiled indifferently. It was indeed his responsibility, and although no one else knew it, he knew it in his heart.

You don't look very well. It's an undeniable fact that you haven't been eating properly, hasn't it? Glenn pointed to the little girl's face.

Bonnie blushed and bowed her head.

You're causing your mother a lot of worry, you know? I understand that it's not unusual to make a bad impression the first time you face a situation like this, but please don't give in to self-deprecation. Beating yourself up like that won't make things any better.

Glenn's voice was soft, like an older person trying to persuade a child.

'I know, but...' Bonnie pursed her lips and crossed her fingers.

'Don't be afraid, Bonnie. In fact, there is a Guardian who has always protected you.'

Glenn's tone remained the same as he uttered an inexplicable phrase that left Bonnie stunned.

She looked up doubtfully, 'Guardian?

'Yes, Guardian,' Glenn and Bonnie locked eyes, his tone light but firm, 'have you forgotten what saved you and Lailah that day?

Bonnie followed Glenn's words, remembering the scene from that day that she didn't want to think about.

Some rough and tough men were dragging her away. She struggled desperately but it was no use. As she grew more and more frightened and desperate inside, the men suddenly let go of her with a start and shouted something she could not remember, but it must have been something that frightened her very much.

If Glenn was serious, these men had been frightened away by the so-called Guardians!

'Mr Glenn, what do you mean...'

'Shh...' Bonnie was about to let out a surprised exclamation when Glenn interrupted her with a shushing noise and winked at her mysteriously.

'Oh my!' Bonnie covered her mouth in surprise, a strange excitement welling up in her heart.

Glenn was particularly pleased as he watched the young girl shake off her previous dejection.

Teenagers of this age have an unusual curiosity about the unknown and the mysterious, which also makes them more daring than adults.

If Glenn said this to someone in their thirties, they would probably be scared to death.

Besides, everyone knows that there are unnatural phenomena like magic in this world, so it is normal to accept Glenn's made-up setting.

So, Mr Glenn, what exactly is the Guardian?" Bonnie asked Glenn, clenching her fists in front of her chest as if she were meeting a secret agent.

Glenn deliberately glanced left and right before leaning in close to the little girl and whispering, 'Actually, the Guardian is a super-sized dog...'.

At that moment, the nose of a certain dozing super-big-dog twitched and it suddenly sneezed loudly...

'Super-sized dog? Bonnie's eyes widened.

'Yes, a big dog, as big as a horse, a punishment dog that punishes the wicked. He was the one who protected you on the road that day. When he saw some bad guys bullying you, he appeared. Those bad guys were so scared when they saw him that they fled in all directions.

'This... this is...' Bonnie was out of breath and couldn't find the right words to describe her feelings.

'This is really cool, isn't it?' Glenn said a new word for her.

'Cool?

'Yes, cool,' Glenn confirmed.

'Yes! It's cool, this is really very cool! Bonnie's face flushed with excitement.

Perhaps her voice was too loud, Bonnie's mother suddenly pushed open the door, 'Bonnie, what's wrong with you...'

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly saw the bright smile on her daughter's face.

Bonnie! You finally smiled! Oh, I thought I would never see you smile like that again.

As a mother, Bonnie's mother is undoubtedly qualified, and her tears of relief at this moment speak volumes.

I'm fine, Mum,' Bonnie said, going over to wipe away her mother's tears.

'I know, I know...' Bonnie's mother nudged her daughter, 'You two go on, I have some laundry to do.

With that she slammed the door, leaving Bonnie and Glenn alone in the room once again.

'My mom really cares about me, that's why...'

'That's why she's moved to tears. It's really enviable. You're really lucky to have a mother who loves you so much,' Glenn said sincerely.

Bonnie didn't know what to say and wondered: 'Did Mr Glenn say that because he didn't care about his mother? Yes, otherwise he wouldn't be living alone in such a remote place, and his family must be dead.

Glenn noticed that the way the other person looked at him had suddenly become much softer, as if he knew what the little girl was thinking. Glenn said, 'Don't think too much about it, I was just speaking from the heart.

Bonnie nodded, said nothing and changed the subject to the so-called Guardian.

'Can I see it? The Guardian, I mean. I want to thank him personally.

'Of course. It's near my house. Whenever you're near it, it will be there in the shadows to protect you. I can make it appear.'

Great,' Bonnie said excitedly, jumping lightly in place.

Gurgle, gurgle...

A strange sound suddenly floated through the room. Bonnie, who had become excited, froze in her movements and her face flushed a little more, as did her ears.
