"Laura..."
Coincidentally, the two of them had said the name at the same time.
They stopped and looked at each other for a moment. Then Lilah said, "You go first."
Gerard nodded and said, “Laura's a former friend of ours. We knew each other when we were children."
"Hmm. I see," Lilah nodded thoughtfully. She never expected that Gerard would have such a childhood friend. For some reason, it made her feel a little uneasy.
"Yeah, but the reason why she was with us is because she's a distant cousin of Walter's," Gerard explained.
“Oh? Okay then," Lilah nodded in understanding. Then she asked, “Didn't you play with her later on?"
"She... Something happened to her," Gerard replied in a heavy voice.
Lilah was taken aback when she realized that she might have brought up a sensitive topic. Immediately, she apologized, “Sorry, but I didn't mean to bring back bad memories."
"It's alright," Gerard said. "She's not dead, but she's in a vegetative state and hasn't woken up for many years now."
“I see," Lilah nodded. But despite his admission, she still felt somewhat upset, so she immediately changed the topic.
In the next few days, Lilah took her time to pick out a few cities.
Then she allowed Gerard to make the final choice.
Gerard chose Larkville, which was a warm city. "I know this city more or less, so I can show you around," he assured her.
"ALL right," Lilah replied. "I don't need to come up with a traveling plan then."
“Uh-huh. But I need you to take care of our baby for the next two days, because I'll be going on a business trip."
“Okay. Got it. Will you return by Friday?"
Their original plan was to go out on Saturday.
“Yeah, I'll be back by then," Gerard assured her.
Lilah's Lips curled into a smile. She was now in a good mood. But to her surprise, Katie, who had been silent for a while, suddenly began to cause a stir.
And it didn't take long before her tweet attracted the attention of a lot of designers.
This time, it started with a message posted by Mirello Design Academy, saying that they would come to Hualand to give lectures.
The jewelry designers in Hualand became very excited.
Mirello Design Academy was known as one of the top academies globally.
