Is That You, Luna?

As Liliana and Talia were immersed in their conversation, they didn't notice that Former Patriarch Ding had stirred awake. The sickly elderly man's gaze was blurred as his eyes moved slowly from Talia to Liliana.

"G-Great-grandpa! You're awake!"

Surprised, Talia stuttered. She got up from her chair, abruptly leaning closer toward the bed. She began scanning the expression on Former Patriarch Ding's face, trying to catch if there was any discomfort.

At the same time, Liliana was frozen in shock. She didn't expect to see Former Patriarch Ding waking up as she and Talia talking next to his bed. Her eyes were locked on the old man.

For the first time in a few days, Liliana watched Former Patriarch Ding's eyes blinking instead of only closing.

Former Patriarch Ding shifted his eyes from Talia to the other young lady. His wrinkly lips shivered. His voice was imbued in tremor when he finally spoke.

"Luna... is that you?"
