Chapter 7 - Longing

Lily, after hearing her parents' words, said, "Mom, Dad, I will definitely try to help the needy if I can, and I will not forget your teachings." And smiled.

Lily's father smiled and said to his wife, "My wife, look at my princess, she is so adorable. I don't want to give my daughter to anyone," and then pecked his daughter on the cheek.

Hearing her father's words, Lily suddenly remembered certain someone. {What is he doing now? Has he reached the hospital? Has he eaten? Ugh, I forgot to take his contact. Now I want to see him. I have to wait until tomorrow}.

Noticing that their daughter was not eating, Lily's parents looked at each other before calling her. "Lily"

"Huh" Lily responded, distracted from her thoughts. "What, Dad?"

"My princess, What are you thinking about?" Her father asked.

"Nothing, Dad. Let's keep eating" Lily replied.

Her parents looked at each other and continued eating.

After dinner, the family of three sat in front of the TV to watch an entertaining program and talking about various topics and laughing in between.

"Sweetie, are you going to meet him tomorrow?" Selina asked her daughter.

Surprised by her mother's question, Lily thought her mother was asking about someone and asked, "Mom?".

"To the hospital to visit Mr.Felix Allen?" her mother asked.

"Oh, to meet grandfather". Lily sighed and nodded "Haa, I'll go and see him tomorrow. Why Mom?"

"That's good. If you're going, then convey to him our regards and our heartfelt thanks to him and his wife for their help". Selina expressed.

"Of course, Mom, I'll tell him." Lily thought for a moment and added, "If possible, you two should visit him after work."

"Okay, we'll do that," Lily's father agreed.

Lily smiled and wished her parents good night and went to her room. But she couldn't sleep. Someone appeared in front of her. She didn't know why but she was yearning for him so much. She wanted to see him.

She didn't understand why but she felt like she knew him better. She knew that her feelings for him were true. Every passed by minute, she was yearning for him even more. Finally, in the early hours of the morning, she fell asleep.

Hmm, not only Lily, but Eli was also suffering from the same problem in the hospital room.

A few hours ago,

Someone knocked on the Grandpa Allen's room door. Eli allowed the person to "Enter"

The one who came was Eli's personal assistant, Sebastian Debas.

He greeted Grandpa Allen and his butler before greet Eli "Boss."

He handed him his boss's work laptop. Eli opened the laptop for work, ordered all meetings to be canceled tomorrow, and specifically said that he should only take the files he needed to sign tomorrow, and that it was better if there were none. After the boss's instructions, Eli's assistant left.

Grandfather Allen asked him "Are you not leaving?"

"No" Eli replied.

"But I don't allow you to stay". Grandfather said sternly.

Eli said, "Oh".

"You Brat, go home and sleep. I don't need you here. Grandfather Allen rebuked him.

Eli looked at his grandfather and remained silent.

"What now?" his grandfather asked.

"I'm staying here today," Eli said.

Before the old man could agree, Eli said, "Or I'll go home and send the family here."

Threatened by his grandson, Grandpa Allen chose to remain silent. Eli continued his work.

After a while, Eli closed his laptop and chose to lie down on the sofa. There was another bed in the room but he let the butler lie on it.

He tried but couldn't sleep. "Lily" he said her name. He missed her so much and wanted to see her. He stood up and got out of the sofa and walked towards the window to wait for sun to rise, so he could meet her.
