Lilia was still lying on her back on the hospital bed when she suddenly heard Alice's voice mixed in with tears. She was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Why are you crying? What happened?"
Alice gathered her emotions and muttered, "Lilia… I'm done."
"What happened? What do you mean you're done?" Lilia asked in surprise, and her heart beat faster.
She knew Alice very well. Even though she didn't have much contact with her, she always appreciated this cheerful woman who was able to accept her defeat and come to terms with it.
After Alice calmed her mood, she told her about how she'd been chasing after Julius.
Lilia didn't respond for a long time.
Alice took out her cell phone and looked. "Hello? Lilia, are you listening?"
At this time, Lilia smiled in surprise and joy. "Alice, did I hear it right? You said you were chasing… a person named Julius?"
Is this Julius guy… her uncle?
