As Hagan cast his curious eyes over Mr. Liu, he continued on..."It was reported that when the medic came was giving first aid to your mother, she tightly held onto a thin book, despite being unconscious. I believe that it was the dairy that your father mentioned"

The sound came and went in an instant, but it felt like an eternity for him. This second of struggle felt the closest to death than anything he had experienced till now.
As the moment was pa.s.sed, Hagan weakly fell on his back, cold sweat drenched his clothes. It took him a good while panting before he could find back his composure.
Hagan warily looked at the old and grim-looking chalice and the old worn-out leather-bound thin book.
