Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 477 Aunt Lisa’s First Sentence

Suddenly, Lisa’s face turned pale, causing her to abruptly rise from the bed before collapsing back onto

it

ially was alarmed, rushing to grasp her hand and asking, “Aunt Lisa?”

Lisa’s eyes remained fixed, devoid of any response.

Pablo was slightly taken aback, questioning, “Is she dead?”

Lilly shook their head, asserting, “That’s impossible!”

Just moments ago, while sitting on the edge of the bed awaiting her aunt, Lilly had silently counted,

confirming that her aunt was perfectly fine.

She could not possibly be dead.

“Aunt Lisa…” Lilly shook her hand, urging, “Please, get up quickly.”

Lisa’s eyes flickered, gazing blankly at Lilly, before swiftly sitting up with a whoosh, displaying

remarkable agility./

This time, it was Lilly’s turn to be stupefied.

“Aunt Lisa?” Lilly waved his hand.

Lisa stared at her hand intently, then after a moment, she hesitantly lifted her face and waved her hand

in

response.

Lilly’s mouth gaped open wide.

Wow, my aunt is doing so well!

“Let’s go, let’s go eat!” Lilly exclaimed, pulling Lisa along to hurry outside.

Arthur, who was following behind, felt utterly perplexed. Didn’t she call for him?

He had heard her calling his name from outside.

He should have arrived when Lilly called out the first time, yet he only made it there after the second

time. Could it be that he was moving too slowly, and had Lilly already resolved the issue on her own?

I’ll pay more attention next time!

Bettany and the others were waiting in the dining room on the first floor and finally saw Lilly running

down holding Lisa.

Everyone was taken aback and started teasing, joking about how Africans had suddenly transformed

into Western Europeans.

Bettany, on the other hand, felt sheer terror, her already pale face now even paler than her uncle’s, who

had been deceased for three days.

It was said that white can mask all ugliness, and despite Lisa’s newfound paleness, one could sull

vaguely make out her human features, no longer resembling a charred and horrifying “ghost”

In a dazed state. Josh asked, “So, was my mother black because she hadn’t taken a bath for ten

years?”

Drake’s mouth twitched, and he retorted, “Shut up…”

Lilly sat down, shaking his head, and explained, “No, I killed the parasite in Aunt Lisa’s heart, and that’s

why she turned pale.”

Bettany was astonished.

What kind of whitening formula was,this?

She was tempted to try it out for herself…

“Please sit down…” Bettany gestured towards a chair.

Lisa’s expression remained blank, apart from her paleness, she seemed to be the same as before.

When they arrived at the restaurant, she continued to stare at Josh intently. Perhaps because Josh

was born later, her memories were somewhat clearer.

“Oh, it seems that recovery is not possible,” Bettany remarked. “Gilbert will come back later, and we

can have him take a look at her,”

She was afraid that rushing Lisa to the hospital might frighten the experts.

Polly stood on the staircase railing, observing from a distance, and couldn’t resist commenting on

hearing the conversation: “Hello, everyone! I’m Gilbert, and today I’ll challenge everyone to eat papaya,

yuck…”

Everyone was quiet.

Bettany clenched the cutlery in her hand, unable to bear it any longer, “Someone please feed him

poop!”

Polly turned around and flew away.

Lilly pointed to the chair, “Aunt Lisa, sit down!”

Lisa’s eyeballs finally moved, and she sat stiffly on the chair.

Everyone can finally eat with peace of mind. The bowl in front of Lisa is filled to the brim, the rice is

compacted, and the meat and vegetables on it are all piled up.

Bettany said, “Lisa, let’s start eating…”

She anticipated that Lisa would take a long time to respond, as she had done before. However, this

time she noticed Lisa lower her head and fix her gaze on the rice bowl in front of her.

After Lilly urged her multiple times to eat, Lisa seemed to have figured out a way to eat and buried her

face in the rice bowl.

“Nom… Nom… Nom…”

Surprisingly, she ate quite quickly.

Everyone was surprised.

The piece of meat on Hugh’s fork slipped off and landed with a thud.

Bettany could not help but wonder if she was her daughter–in–law.

If she said Lisa was not smart, would she quickly finish a bowl of rice, but if she was smart, shouldn’t

she be able to use cutlery?

With patience, Bettany raised her hand and gestured for Lisa to look at the cutleries, “Come on, eat

cutleries.”

Observing Lisa’s adorable face covered in rice grains, Bettany reluctantly grabbed a tissue and handed

it to

her.

Josh quickly took charge and wiped her face.

“Hold the fork like this and eat,”

Josh took the fork and showed how to use it while picking up vegetables.

Watching this, Lilly followed suit with her chopsticks.

Lisa stared at Josh, then at Lilly, her fingers tapping on her knees.

But before she could learn, Lilly and Josh stopped eating.

Lilly: “I’m done teaching, I can’t eat anymore!”

Josh: “I can’t eat either… Brother, it’s your turn!”

Drake scoffed: “So boring,”

He briefly glanced at Lisa, appearing hesitant and conflicted.

Anthony silently observed, then whispered, “I’ll take over.”

As soon as he spoke, Lisa gazed at him as if she had just noticed him.

Anthony raised his hand, his grip on the cutlery was agile, slim, and strong, capturing Lisa’s attention

as she stared intently at it.

“Take the fork,” Anthony instructed.

Lisa raised her hand and examined it.

She then glanced at the cutlery on the table and hesitantly grabbed the fork.

Anthony raised his hand to correct her and adjusted her grip, saying, “Don’t hold it like that, you should

hold it like this.”

He guided her fingers, aligning them properly on the fork.

“Tightly grip it with your index finger, don’t point with it.”

Lisa stared at her hand… then extended her middle finger.

Everyone including Anthony was silent.

He silently pressed her two fingers back, and Lisa instinctively clenched them.

“Use the prongs at the top and bottom of the fork, don’t twist your hands behind your back, avoid

moving while picking up vegetables, and don’t flip the vegetables in front of others,”

“If you don’t learn proper etiquette, you won’t be able to fit in. Having good table manners is a tradition

handed down by our ancestors. It signifies good manners at the dining table. You must learn it, whether

you like it or not.”

“Got it?”

Anthony glanced down at Lisa to see if she had paid attention.

Unfortunately, not.

Lisa stared blankly at her utensils.

Lilly rubbed her chin thoughtfully and questioned, “Uncle, do you think Aunt Lisa can understand?”

Anthony, “It’s my bad…”

Josh agreed, “Yeah, she doesn’t even know how to talk yet, and you’re teaching her about etiquette?”

Anthony remained expressionless: “Why don’t you give it a try?”

Normally, Josh would instantly keep quiet.

But now, as the eldest son taking care of their mother, he responded immediately: “If it’s up to me, then

I’ll do it.”

What’s the big deal?

“Mom, watch closely, hold the fork like this… Phew, there you go!”

Lisa turned her head to glance at Joshwen, then looked back at her own hands.

This and that… Phew, I’ve got it!

Her eyes widened slightly, expressing delight at acquiring a new skill.

Everyone felt a sense of hope.

If she can be taught, there’s hope!

Bettany, in a cheerful mood, remarked, “Well, from now on, focus on learning to communicate.

Understanding comes before speaking, and when you can speak, you’ll understand even more,”

“Let’s begin by identifying what I’m pointing at,”

Learning vocabulary in first–grade elementary school also started with that.

Lilly exclaimed cheerfully, “I’ll go first, sky!”

She pointed towards the sky outside.

Lisa looked puzzled.

Josh pointed to the ground, saying, “The ground!”

Lilly patted herself, saying, “Human!“Lisa paused slightly.

Bettany saw it, it was ok, and it was useful.

Bettany pointed at Lisa, then at herself, and finally at Anthony, “You, me, him.”

Lisa gazed at Bettany with a blank expression.

Bettany patiently instructed, “You, me, him. Repeat after me, you, me, him…”

Lisa hesitated, her lips moved, causing everyone to feel even more hopeful.

Finally, with everyone holding their breath, she managed to utter a word in a very unfamiliar manner: “I

Lilly and Josh leaped up in joy!

Lilly exclaimed, “Aunt Lisa can speak!”

Josh marveled, “My mom is so clever!”

Bettany took advantage of the moment: “Keep going, say ‘you, me, him!”

The corners of Lisa’s lips twitched: “You… me… me…”

Everyone looked at her with anticipation.

Lisa: “You… I’m mean…”

She seemed to believe she was correct and repeated forcefully, “I’m mean!”

Bettany was momentarily taken aback, “Huh?”

Josh’s smile froze on his face…

What just happened…
