Therefore, the only thing that Titus could do in the final moments of his life was to keep Julia company and take her places to enjoy some good food to make it up to her.
On the other hand, Julia knew what Titus was thinking after their 30-year marriage. In fact, one look at Titus' face was enough for her to tell what was on his mind. However, that was precisely why Julia felt bitter on the inside. Soon, tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, "You're not going to die, Titus. You are not! We'll find a suitable kidney for you! I'm sure we will!" Julia wrapped her fingers around Titus' hand tightly, afraid that the man would be gone forever if she ever let it go.
Needless to say, Titus was able to see through Julia's fear, so he patted her back and told her to ease her mind. "You and I both know how unlikely we'll find a compatible donor."
"No." Julia refused to accept the truth as she hugged Titus and rested her head on his shoulders, crying nonstop.
Titus smiled gently and patted her back. "Alright, stop crying. There are others watching us here. It's okay." At the same time, Julia knew her current state was embarrassing since all bystanders had their eyes on her. She then looked up and reached for her handkerchief in her pocket to wipe her tears. After that, she stopped crying and replaced her sad look with a smile in an attempt to be the elegant socialite she always was, looking as if she didn't just cry at all. "Alright, let's not talk about that. After all, we're here for the blueberry cake. Let's go." Julia tried to keep herself together and responded with an affirmative hum, seizing the man's arm while stepping forward.
Soon, both of them made it to the cashier as Titus coughed and placed an order. "I'd like to have a blueberry cake."
The cashier looked up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but that lady just bought the last piece of blueberry cake."
Meanwhile, Sonia, who happened to have her back toward them as she sat in her seat, somehow sensed someone pointing at her just when she turned around and put her glass down. The moment Sonia exchanged gazes with the couple, the three of them paused in a trance.
"It's you?"
"It’s you both?”
While the three of them simultaneously said that, the cashier gazed at Sonia and turned her attention to Titus and Julia before realizing the three of them knew each other. Therefore, she decided not to interfere with them and say anything else.
"Why are you here?" Julia hugged Titus' arm and asked with a slightly darkened look on her face.
While Titus looked at Sonia silently with his glacial gaze, Sonia smiled coldly and stood up in front of the couple who used to treat her badly.
"The Gray Family doesn't own this place, so why can't I be here? Who would ask a dumb question like that, Mrs. Gray?"
