บท 466: The Night Before The Meeting

"Lili... what are... you thinking?"

Hearing the voice and feeling a soft caress on the back of her hand, Liliana was brought out of her trance. She blinked a few times before looking at Cassia. Her mother was leaning against the reclined bed.

"Oh, nothing, Mom," Liliana tried to reassure Cassia with a smile. She squeezed her mother's hand, "I'm just thinking how good the new place will be for you."

Cassia's lips slowly curled into a smile. Her eyes glinted softly, "Mom can't wait... too."

Liliana grinned. Joy overflowed from her eyes and lips. While adjusting the blanket covering Cassia's legs, she asked, "Grandpa will come tomorrow. Are you nervous, Mom? This will be your first time meeting him."

"A bit," replied Cassia with a faint laugh.

Liliana reached out for both of Cassia's hands. Her smile softened as her eyes were locked into her mother's gaze.
