483 This Was Not The Only Surprise

"Great-Grandpa!"

Too shocked by the surprise, Liliana abruptly rose to her feet. She rushed to Former Patriarch Ding. Behind the wheelchair, Talia had a bright smile adorning her face.

"Lili... I missed you... You look so pretty today."

Former Patriarch Ding reached out for Liliana's hand. His expression was full of delight, showing how happy he was. He didn't move his eyes away from his great-granddaughter.

"Great-Grandpa, how could you be here? When did you arrive?"

Liliana was still bewildered by her great-grandfather's sudden appearance. She didn't see that the others inside the room were also as surprised as her, excluding Old Master Ding.

To the ones in the same generation as Alexander, this was their first time seeing the former patriarch up close in this ancestral home.
