What Led To Her Elopement?

To Liliana's delight, Cassia and Former Patriarch Ding had a good first meeting despite their initial awkwardness. Perhaps, the short time they spent on video calls before helped to alleviate the tension between them.

"Cassia, you're really... a splitting image of Luna."

Former Patriarch Ding ruefully uttered those words the first time he laid his eyes on Cassia.

Liliana said nothing as she let the estranged grandfather and granddaughter interact. Old Master Ding also followed the former by observing the pair in silence. Yet, his own joy was expressed through his smiles.

Cassia and Former Patriarch Ding didn't talk much due to their respective medical conditions.

The former was still not able to speak as properly as before. As for the elderly man, his advanced age prevented him from voicing his words too audibly.

Still, this was better than Liliana had expected.
