Chapter 490:- New Year [II]
Lilith's eyes lingered on her daughter, Sasha, who sat quietly next to her, lost in a distant world of her own thoughts. The warm glow of the lamp cast a soft light on the room, illuminating Sasha's downcast expression and making her look even more distant. The book Lilith had been engrossed in no longer held her attention; her maternal instincts sensed something amiss.
"Why don't we go to the Dragon Palace to join Aditya today?" Lilith suggested gently, her voice imbued with a warmth meant to coax Sasha from her reverie. For Lilith, the new year had never been a significant occasion. Her memories were void of any grand celebrations; at most, she would grill some 5th-order monster meat or prepare some comfort food for a quiet evening at home.
"Not interested," Sasha responded, her voice flat and devoid of emotion. She didn't even glance at her mother, her gaze fixed on some invisible point in the distance.
