Lilly looked around in confusion, she wasn’t getting the understanding of what was stated. “I-I-I still don’t understand!”, Lilly exclaimed in denial. She can accept that the Amira that worked for them was a traitor that betrayed them but to believe she’s a Li? That was something else she wasn’t ready to believe anytime soon.“Darling?

He closed his eyes tightly as the memories became overpowering and the feeling overwhelming.“I grew up with George and Jane Li and during those days, Jane always talks about her favorite cousin called Amira but frequently calls her Mira just like their mother. She was a two years younger than Jane then but Jane won’t shut up about her. This Amira often came visiting too when school was on vacation.
