Lili cried for quite some time before she stopped, then started to hiccup. Alex helped her smooth out her breathing with patience. But she was afraid to startle her, so she didn't dare move her stiff body.
Lili then pushed Alex's shoulders away after she calmed down.
"Are you okay now?" Alex asked as she wiped the tears falling on Lili's face with tenderness. She looked so pitiful, with her eyes that became a little reddish and her hair became a little messy.
Lili nodded in response. She doesn't know why she cried on Alex on the spur of the moment. When she always tries to look strong in front of other people, especially with her mother. Yet when Alex moved closer to her, she couldn't hold her tears back at all as they started gushing out in her eyes.
"We will buy the antidote," Ezekiel showed a gentle smile as he exclaimed while he patted Lili's head.
