Chapter 60 Tricc's First Kiss

• The living room was imbued with a tranquil ambiance as father and son returned from their run. Layla gracefully set the table for a late breakfast, Dirk scarcely recognized the beautiful young woman before him. She had blossomed into a striking beauty, her long black hair elegantly tied in a ponytail, complemented by matching earrings and vibrant red lips. Her mischievous dark eyes sparkled as she moved around the small dining table, the flutter of her long skirt around her slim legs eliciting a smile from the older man. She was only five the last time he saw her, a stark reminder of how swiftly time had passed. A soft chuckle escaped him as he heard her voice rise above the classical melody playing in the background, her high-pitched notes slightly out of sync with the song's rhythm, yet she sang with unabashed joy.
• Leon smiled and placed a reassuring hand on Dirk's shoulder. "She has missed you dearly and couldn't wait for you to awaken," his father expressed warmly, gently nudging Dirk with his arm. "Go greet your sister."
• Dirk felt a prickling sensation in his eyes, he shook his head, attempting to dispel the tears that threatened to fall. "I have missed her as well, father," he managed to say with a quavering voice.
