"Take care on the road!"
At dusk, Linley saw Delia off outside Wushan Town.
Although Delia had wanted to spend a couple more days with Linley,
it simply wasn't convenient.
Besides, Delia had clearly noticed that Linley had seemed distracted from time to time that day.
So, after celebrating his birthday, Delia had said her goodbyes.
