Asher didn't pay attention to Elaine who followed him. He kept himself quiet, even when the younger lady tried getting some verbal responses from him.
"Brother Asher, aren't you tired after a long flight? You're so filial to Grandma Shen. She'll be delighted to meet you."
"The florists suggested I get yellow roses and pink tulips. Aren't they pretty? They all mean the same, to get well soon."
"Brother Asher, Big Brother Alvin asked me to tell you. He'll come to visit Grandma Shen with Sister Shaelyn tomorrow. So, don't worry too much about your grandma, en?"
Until the end, Asher didn't even give a reply to Elaine chattering. Her soft and alluring voice did nothing to stir his heart.
His mind was more preoccupied with his grandmother's condition and how sorrowful yet stubborn Liliana was before.
