Iris gasped before her face broke into a delighted smile. The others stopped talking when they saw the sudden change in her expression. They all looked at her, silently asking her what was going on. But instead of answering them, she stood up and excused herself.
She hurried out of the indoor forest, running to reach the grand foyer as quickly as possible. The drive from the massive gates to the mansion took around twenty minutes. It would take some time before Lu Zihao and his people reached the mansion. Iris wanted to be there to greet him when he arrived.
The butler was already there with some of the household staff when she arrived at the grand foyer. She waited with them, pacing in a restless manner while glancing at the closed double doors. She couldn't wait for the doors to open and reveal her big brother who she hadn't seen for so long.
"Ketchup, are they here yet?" Iris asked.
"A scar does not form on the dying. A scar means I survived."
