Kapitel 159: Grief

Liam stared at Amelie, his eyes wide with confusion and disbelief. 

He couldn't process the words that had just left her lips, the shock reverberating through his entire being. "What do you mean?" His voice trembled, almost unrecognizable to his own ears. "Say it again! Lily... What did you just say?"

Amelie was crying openly now, her chest heaving with each sob, her shoulders trembling under the weight of the news she had just delivered. Her voice barely made it past her trembling lips as she tried to explain.

"Julia... she just received a call. I... I had her check if your grandfather was alright because I was worried. Julia's people contacted the authorities, and they sent out a search party right away. He went to the mountains to hunt and... and they found him dead there. A heart attack. He had no chance... I'm so sorry, Liam."
