Lilia was pacing out of the elevator and standing in front of Julius, unable to hold back her smile when she met him. "Why are you here, uncle?"

She thought her uncle had returned to Surabaya a long time ago.

At this time, Lawrence, who was following at the side, looked at this scene in surprise. He couldn\'t help but ask, "Miss Lilia, is professor Julius your... uncle?"

Lawrence\'s shocked face couldn\'t be hidden.

Julius was a specially appointed genetic analyst at Ivory Hospital. He did not give consultations to patients, but he came here occasionally for academic seminars and took part in various studies.

He heard that the dean personally invited him many times, even bluntly saying that he would pay whatever price he asked.

Lilia answered with a smile, "Yes, he is my uncle."

Julius smiled at the old doctor beside him. "Director, if you\'re not in a hurry, I\'ll summarize the analysis later. I\'ll tell you when I\'m done,"

The director nodded. "Don\'t worry, your seminars don\'t start until late in the evening. You can relax before that."

Several other doctors followed the director and entered the elevator one by one. Julius arched his brows. He immediately glanced at the pile of documents in Lawrence\'s hand, then looked at Lilia and asked, "What\'s the matter? Do you have any problem?"

There was a hint of worry in Julius\'s eyes.

His gaze that was tinged with a bit of fatigue fell on Lilia\'s figure for a moment, and he couldn\'t help but look at her.

Lilia shook her head and answered, "I\'m fine, I just wanted to do a full body check just in case."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to talk about, Lawrence didn\'t want to interrupt. So he flipped through the documents he was carrying and said while pretending, "I think there\'s a document left downstairs. I\'ll go back and get it."

After that, Lawrence turned around without waiting for the two of them to respond. Seeing that the lift had not yet gone up, he walked down the stairs.

Julius looked away from the direction of the stairs, looked around, and couldn\'t help saying, "I happen to have a small office here. Would you like to come and wait there?"

"Okay!"

...

Julius\' office was not that big, his room was no bigger than a boarding house. Inside, it was only filled with a table and two chairs, looking simple and plain.

After the two of them sat down, Julius took a paper cup, filled it with water from the dispenser then placed it in front of Lilia.

He hadn\'t seen Lilia in a few months, but it looked like this one girl seemed fine.

Her eyes were clear and moist, her skin was white as snow, and her cheeks were slightly smiling flowed with a touch of elegance and peace on the corner of her eye.

"How have you been lately?" Even though he could see that Lilia was already living quietly, Julius couldn\'t help but ask.

He wanted to hear her personally say something about her new life, which could make him feel more relieved and comfortable.

Lilia smiled. "I\'m fine, what about you, uncle? It\'s been a long time since I saw you, I thought you had returned to Surabaya!"

After speaking, her smile narrowed slightly.

She suddenly remembered the situation with the Pangestu family, and couldn\'t help but wonder whether this uncle also knew about the current state of that family.

Julius rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly to himself. "I actually wanted to go back, but there were too many things in Jakarta, so I really couldn\'t go."

Hearing this, Lilia thought about her uncle\'s achievements in the medical field and couldn\'t hold her breath. "Uncle\'s talent is unmatched!"

"Oh, you are so smart in praising!" Julius teased with a smile, then he took a sip of the water, and looked at Lilia through the edge of the water glass. After putting down the glass, his voice was weak. "Do you know about the Pangestu family\'s recent situation?"

The Pangestu family\'s current situation...

The question Julius asked made Lilia freeze for a moment.

Lilia knew that the cooperation between the Pangestu family and the Widjaya family came to a halt, but she had no good reason to explain Jean\'s sudden behavior.

Julius rubbed his glass with his thumb and saw Lilia\'s doubt. Then he calmly said, "Looks like you don\'t know the news of the Pangestu family\'s bankruptcy!"

It turned out that the Pangestu family went bankrupt!

Lilia was taken aback for a moment, then she pursed her lips nonchalantly. "Now I know."

Julius chuckled. "You... You\'ve really grown up. You couldn\'t hide your expression before you met that man."

These words couldn\'t be taken as criticism or praise.

Lilia didn\'t argue, she held the glass on the table with one hand and said, "I have seen many things in my life and I will always grow up. Do you think I have turned into a cold-blooded woman?"

After all, the Pangestu family was the one that raised her for 24 years.

People tended to think that she was being rude or unkind, but that was because they didn\'t know the real story.

Julius raised his hand to straighten the coat collar on his chest. "I don\'t think so."

When he saw the look in Lilia\'s eyes, he lifted his gaze as he smiled. "Whatever you do, you must have a reason. Even though I didn\'t know the specific details, I can still guess a few things."

"I met my older sister a while ago. She told me that a child named Leila had taken her wallet and cellphone at the Minerva hospital. After she chased her to Jakarta, she didn\'t find any trace of her for a long time. She looked really haggard, but on top of that... I think my sister really cares about that kid," he added.

Lilia lowered her head and listened to her uncle\'s statement. It was hard to read through her vague expression. Although there was still a bit of turmoil in her heart, it was only because of Sylvia\'s love for Leila.

She didn\'t know why her \'mother\' loved Leila so much. Now that the Pangestu family went bankrupt, what did their daughter do to save them?!

Julius paused for a few seconds, and when he saw that Lilia didn\'t mean to return his words, he couldn\'t help but shake his head and let out a sigh.

He didn\'t expect that his older sister and brother-in-law would lead the Pangestu family into this kind of situation.

News of their bankruptcy had been made public. Before returning to Surabaya, Sylvia had borrowed 1 billion from him.

She had spent a lot of money in the capital city alone, and yet she still couldn\'t find Leila.

Suddenly, the Pangestu family\'s entire business failed and they could no longer sustain their expenses. Desperate, Sylvia begged and borrowed money from him.

Julius remembered the scene where he saw his sister back then. He had never seen her so embarrassed in her life.

The office suddenly turned very quiet.

Lilia continued to be silent, and Julius decided not to continue with such a tough topic anymore. He changed the conversation and asked seriously, "Why are you suddenly going to do a full body examination? What\'s the matter?"

"No, nothing!" Lilia raised her eyes, smiling and still looking calm. "I just had a nosebleed yesterday, maybe because I\'m tired. But everyone panicked and forced me to do a check-up. I did it so my grandfather could calm down."

Julius looked at her, laughing and joking. "At a seminar a few days ago, I overheard that everyone was talking about the Mayer family having a sudden yet shocking confession banquet."

"Then, your name became the hottest search on the Internet overnight. I really didn\'t expect you to be the daughter of the Mayer family.. Looks like they treat you very well, huh?" He said with a smile.
