“I’m truly not, Mom,” Sasha protested anxiously. “It’s a huge threat to road safety when he’s driving without a license—at that speed, no less! If he gets arrested, he might even have to go to jail!”

Upon hearing that, Helen froze for a moment before she stammered, “I-I didn’t realize it was so serious.”

“What did you think?” Sasha snapped. “Have you seen how carelessly he drives? His life could very well be in danger if he got into an accident!”

Scratching her head perplexedly, Helen finally conceded, “Alright; I’ll call your aunt.” And so, she pulled out her cell phone as she walked over to the couch, making a call to her sister. After chatting idly for ages, she finally got to the point, only to have Chloe tell her, “It’s not a big deal. Tate is a pretty good biker and he often went out biking while we were abroad. Don’t worry about it. He’ll be fine.”

With a laugh, Chloe replied, “It’s not as serious as that! Kids just like to play. He never ran into any trouble while abroad despite their stricter laws there, and he hasn’t run into any trouble here even after having biked for so long. It’ll be fine.”

It was only then that Helen breathed out a sigh of relief. “Alright, then.”
