"I see," Jasper said with a nod. He could see that she was no longer the little girl who had begged him to tell her a story every day. She had grown up.
“Hello, Isabella.” Isabella was about to say goodbye to Jasper when she heard her name called. She turned away from Jasper and looked at the young man waving at her from a short distance away.
The young man was dressed in a white T-shirt, and he looked very athletic. James smiled and rushed over to Isabella.

Isabella might have walked away without turning her head if she had only heard the first half of the sentence. But when she realized he would talk about what he had found, she paused and walked back.

Isabella only took a sip of her coffee and looked serious while James talked about it.
"Whether this information of yours is reliable or not, | have to go there," she finally said.
James was eating his bread. He sipped some water to help him swallow and said, "| can assure you it is one-hundred percent true. But, you can't go there by yourself. I'll be there with you.”

James said that Micheal had been hiding in this small village and working as a fisherman since he quit his job.
The bus soon stopped at their station in Sun Town. As soon as she stepped off the bus, Isabella was surrounded by a crowd of people shouting with price tags. Fortunately, James took her away from the crowd.
