Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

After dinner, old Mrs. Crawford came to pick up Lilly.

“Did you have fun?” Old Mrs. Crawford hugged her dotingly, and after only being separated for an hour

or two, she could not wait to come back, and she did not even enjoy going shopping with her old best

friend.

Lilly’s face was blushing, and she was wearing a little red hat, making her look even more cute, “Yes, I

did!”

Old Mrs. Crawford could not help but kiss her.

“Then let us go back,” Old Mrs. Crawford looked at the time and said to Anthony, “Come back home

early after getting off work.”

Anthony’s expression remained the same, without squinting, “I need to work overtime tonight.”

Old Mrs. Crawford nodded, “Sure, I will save some food for you.”

Anthony, “…”

Old Mrs. Crawford brought Lilly, Josh and Lisa home.

Lilly did not take a nap earlier, and so she fell asleep in her grandmother’s arms.

She fell into a drowsy sleep and dreamed, “Grandma…”

Old Mrs. Crawford said “Huh?”, then listened attentively, but Lilly did not say anything more.

Just when she turned her head to look out the window, the little girl suddenly giggled.

Old Mrs. Crawford lowered her head to look at Lilly in her arms, and saw that her eyes were still closed,

not knowing what kind of dream she was having, and she was smiling happily.

She could not help but hook her lips, and also smiled.

When the car drove back to Crawford Mansion, Lilly woke up as soon as the car stopped.

Old Mrs. Crawford asked, “Lilly, what dream did you just have? Why did you smile so happily?”

Lilly excitedly said, “Grandma, I dreamed that I made a lot of money!”

In the dream, she was sitting on a pile of gold coins, happily picking up the gold coins and throwing

them into the air.

However, then she died, grandma and uncle cried very sadly, and spent a lot of money.

Lilly thought of this, and immediately warned:

“Grandma, if Lilly dies in the future, do not pay for me! Just burn me and bury me…”

Old Mrs. Crawford was taken aback, frowned, and said, “Do not talk about death when you are alive!”

Lilly then counted on her fingers and calculated all the business that she and her brother had discussed

just now.

Old Mrs. Crawford, “…”

This time, her sharp gaze was casted to Josh.

Josh jumped, and was about to say something, but Lisa stuttered and said, “Shit… Shit…”

He immediately took Lisa’s hand and ran quickly, “Come on, Mom, I will tell you where the bathroom

is!”

Lisa swung her feet quickly.

The mother and son disappeared in an instant.

Old Mrs. Crawford was angry and amused, and when she looked at Lilly… She just took it as a joke.

When the rest of the Crawford family came back, Lilly told them the same thing.

Everyone could not laugh or cry, but they all thought it was just a child’s weird idea.

They did not expect the separation to come so quickly, and they did not even have time to go to the

Neon Amusement Park to celebrate her fifth birthday…

“Tomorrow is the winter solstice, does Lilly want to eat waffles or danish?”

“My sister likes to eat sweet ones. Grandma, let us make sesame and peanut filling waffles. They are

delicious.”

“Grandma, I want to eat sesame and peanut filling waffles~”

It was snowing outside, but it was warm inside.

It got dark quickly in winter, when Anthony came home, he suddenly saw two figures, one big and one

small, not far from the house.

Seeing him coming back, Lilly ran over on the snow, “Uncle, you are back! Why did you come back

after dark?”

Anthony smiled warmly, “I had a long meeting today, it ended a bit late.”

Lilly probed, “My father has not come back either, and I have not seen him recently.”

Anthony hugged her, walked inside and said, “Your father will probably come back later.”

Lilly snorted, and immediately broke free, “Then I shall go and heat up the food for Dad!”

“That is right, I am going to take my aunt to recharge tomorrow!”

Anthony nodded, watched her run in, and shouted while running, “Margaret~ Margaret, where are

you~”

Margaret hurried out, smiling, “What is wrong?”

The two walked towards the kitchen while talking.

Anthony turned his head and saw Lisa still standing outside.

“What?” He stopped and asked strangely.

Heavy snow fell on Lisa’s hair and eyelashes one after another. She could not feel the cold, and she

could not even feel the temperature in the world.

She stared at Anthony, and said hesitantly, “Wash…”

Anthony took a few steps forward slowly, walked up to her, helped her remove the snowflakes from her

hair, and took a look at her trousers.

She was wearing a pair of pink cotton slippers, which Josh bought for her.

It was clean, why did she need to wash it again?

“Come on, go back,” he said.

Lisa did not leave, and said again stubbornly, “Wash…!”

Anthony looked down at her.

Lisa also looked up at him.

Under the light, the snowflakes were dyed with a layer of warm yellow light, which fell on his black

cashmere coat, making him look cooler.

“Wash…”

Anthony rubbed her head helplessly, his cold voice slowed down a bit, and said, “If you want to wash,

you have to go back and wash, let us go.”

He took her by the hand, like holding a child, half tugged and half coaxed her back into the house, and

called a maid to fill the tub with water.

“Go,” Anthony took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

Lisa refused to leave, and stared at him sullenly, as if angry.

Anthony, “…”

He glanced upstairs and asked with uncertainty, “Want me… To wash?”

Lisa stared at him without speaking.

The corner of Anthony’s mouth twitched, “Good girl, it is inconvenient for me to go, just let the servant

do it.”

Lisa pouted her lips, lowered her beautiful eyes, and finally left obediently with the servant.

In the room, Lisa soaked alone in the bathtub, gradually slipped down, submerged in the water, a few

bubbles popping up.

Soon the surface of the water calmed down, and there was no foaming at all…

The bathroom was eerily quiet.

Suddenly there was a crash, Lisa stood up straight, water dripped from her pale and smooth skin, and

returned to the bathtub.

She nodded affirmatively, “Washing… Finished!”

Then she went out to get dressed.

“Ha ha ha!” Polly grabbed the hanger with two claws, and greeted Lisa while hanging upside down,

“Have you eaten yet?”

Lisa stared at it.

She opened her mouth and stammered, “Wash…?”

Polly, “Wash what?”

Lisa, “Wash!”

Polly flew down and landed on Lisa’s shoulder, tilting its head to look at her.

Immediately shook its head, “Complicated human being, you have no idea what you are talking about.”

After that, he flew away.

Lisa, “…”

This… Liar.

It said… To teach her to speak…
