Chapter 6204

In Lily’s heart, her feelings and perceptions of Maria began to grow increasingly complex.

On one hand, she knew that Maria was nearly four centuries old and undoubtedly an ancestor-level elder. On the other hand, there was a sense that Maria was merely a young girl, even younger than her own son—a cute girl who sometimes acted like a close friend, oblivious to her age, creating the feeling of a confidante.

When respect, admiration, appreciation, and love all converge in one person, it made Lily feel somewhat uneasy.

Maria sighed softly and smiled, saying, “This young girl and Mrs. Wade hit it off wonderfully and had an engaging conversation. If we have the opportunity in the future, I hope to talk to Mrs. Wade like we did today.”

Lily recognized that Maria was truly leaving, so she nodded and replied, “I also hope to meet you again, dear elder. Due to the special circumstances, I won’t be able to see you off.”

Maria smiled gently, saying, “There’s no need for Mrs. Wade to see me off. I can leave by myself.”

After saying this, she turned to look at Kongyin, only to see him already in tears. She smiled and said, “Kongyin, I’m heading out now.”
