Lu Tian's eyes slowly flutter open and he looks directly at his old man. In the next second, he leans back on the chair and raises his left hand to massage his forehead as he stares at the carpet under his feet.
"She doesn't know that we know. I haven't told her because Grandfather Ji said he will tell her."
Hearing that Yue Ling doesn't know anything, Old Lu felt a suffocating sensation inside him. He trembles a deep and despairing breath as he closes his eyes.
Out of every person in Grandfather Ji's life, Yue Ling should have been the first to know, but is she really going to be last?
He opens his eyes and turns his head to the window. He stares out to the lake that glistened under the setting sky.
"It's going to be hard for her when she learns of this news. Be sure to stay by her side as she will need you more than you think."
