Ed Wu opened the door and let them in. He served them tea and let them sit down.
"Sorry for the intrusion" Lea immediately greeted him and apologized.
"It's fine, it's rare to have visitors in this kind of place after all." Mariss walk over carrying a tray with snacks.
"I know this may sound weird but I really want to know about your daughter. Can you describe how is Lira usually?" Lea scratch her head in embarrassment. The Wu couple is looking at her so kindly because she have the same face as their daughter. They didn't even suspect her of being a bad guy.
"I... can I hold your hand" Mariss can't contain her emotions anymore. It's been three years since Lira left the forest. She missed her daughter so much. And now that there is someone who looks exactly like her she can't help but thought of Lea as her daughter.
"Yes of course" Lea immediately presented her hands.
"Lira have always been different from other people. She has the strength to lift a muscular adult at one year old. Her strength become more and more after she grew up. She first killed a bear bare hands when she was four years old. Her strength is unfathomable." Mariss smiled slightly at the thought of her daughter. They didn't fear her nor saw her as a monster. Lira is just a child she gave birth to and nothing else is needed for them to love her.
As Mariss continued telling them about Lira. Lea got to know of a few common things they have.
Ever since Lira was a child she always have a dream about the white space just like Layla. Even the woman's appearance is the same if the details Mariss told is true. They really have an unexplainable connection.
While there are rare thing there are also some simple things they resembled or the same. For example the process of eating, they always have to say a chant before eating. When leaving the house they always put a small white paper near the door.
Although she didn't know why she always did it there's a feeling in her heart that it is just proper and instead of hurting her in any way it will protect her.

The Wu couple invited them to stay the night. Thinking about the other information they could find in this house Lea decided to stay. Roy, Mark, Takashi and Yuna have no choice but to stay as well.
The house wasn't big it only has 2 bedrooms, one for the couple and the other one is for their daughter. Since Lea and Yuna are girls they get to sleep in Lira's room while Roy, Mark and Takashi can only make do with sleeping in the living room.
The night was silent and peaceful. The group finally descended into deep slumber. This time Lea didn't dream about the white space. As for the reason why, she herself didn't know.
The Wu couple got up early and Mariss prepared a sumptuous breakfast. She got everything covered pancakes to breads and milk.
"Wow! am I getting executed after breakfast?Why are there too many delicious foods?" Takashi walked to the dining table.
"Dummy! it's obviously prepared for milady" Yuna can only sigh at Takashi's way of saying things.
After the seven of them ate breakfast.They sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted for quiet some time. Even after a while Lea is still feeling full and decided to take a walk to aid her digestion. As she walk through the thick trees she saw the marks again.
It seems like Lira really like to practice. Her strength is good enough to be the most outstanding member of their clan.
If she didn't know how much her father love her mother she will suspect that he cheated on her. Afterall Layla and Lira look too much like her. It's either their twins or they have the same soul. Thinking this way she felt that it was really a pity that she didn't get to neither of them. Basing on the information they gathered they both seems interesting.
