Andrew's accident

After Lilia calmed down, she remembered what Sylvia said about her uncle. Joy filled Lilia's heart when she heard the news. Her mother's brother went to study abroad half a year ago. Her uncle promised that he would come back in two to three months. But half a year passed and her uncle had not returned.

Julius Halim, Lilia's uncle, was her childhood idol. Julius always greeted her with a smile and even spoiled her. His uncle was very much the opposite of her own mother.

Lilia picked up her cellphone and opened her chat with Julius. Their last contact was three months ago, when Lilia heard that her uncle was working as a researcher in the field of genetics. She hesitated for a moment before finally sending a message to Julius.

Just as Lilia's finger had just pressed the 'Submit' button, there was a loud knock from the door. Lilia jumped and turned her head, "Come in!" She said.
