The man closed his eyes tightly and hugged Lilia even tighter. If Lilia turned out to be sorry later, then this hug would be even more precious to him.
Three hours after they woke up, Lilia and Jean left the hotel. Their destination was Sarangan, which was only half an hour by car. But it still took them another three hours to reach the remote village where Jean's old friend lived.
When Lilia got into the car, she was shocked to realize that the driver was not the usual Clifford. She immediately turned to Jean with a confused look.
"Can't Clifford come with us?" Lilia asked, worried that something might happen to the guard who always accompanied her.
Jean shook his head and replied, "He went ahead to prepare something. Take it easy, you will meet him later."
