After a few more minutes of silence, Madam Luo asked if she could see her grandson. Lily immediately asked someone to escort Claude towards his grandmother.
"You alright?"
She nodded at Zhou Jingren's words. "I am." Slowly, the sadness in Lily's eyes vanished. "I don't think she will last that long."
"Where are you going?"
"We need to discuss something," Lily said as she walked towards their room. Death was indeed a part of life and it would soon come for Madam Luo. There was no point in staying here anymore.
"Lily, Jingren…" The Duchess' soft voice reached their ears. Both halted their steps. "I heard Grandma Luo had woken up?" A bead of sweat trickled down the duchess forehead. "I had to run here… Is she alright? How is her wound?"
"I don't think she will survive the night. I asked her to rest first, but she refused to do so. Instead, she requested to talk to her grandson." She let out a sigh. "She is pretty weak."
