Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 580 Blake and Cloud Were Afraid of the Old Woman

Cathy’s parents were confused by Lilly’s questions for a long time and could not think clearly.

They had never really considered these issues before, like how people who pray to God and Buddha

do not think about these questions either.

They just prayed for comfort.

Cathy would have seizures and high fevers several times a month. Throughout the year, her parents

tried to find hospitals and prayed when they passed by temples. But Cathy did not get better at all. In

fact, her condition had gotten worse over time. It used to happen once or twice a month, but now it was

happening every week.

Deep down, they knew that praying at all those temples would not really help.

However, they were desperate and had no other choice but to leave everything to God.

Cathy’s dad looked sad but forced a smile and said, “Thanks, kid.”

Cathy’s mom took Cathy in her arms, and the couple looked really sad.

Blake said, “Let’s go.”

If they did not take care of Lilly’s wound, it could get infected.

If the old lady found out about it, she would chase them with a frying pan.

Cloud picked up Lilly again and waved goodbye to Cathy, saying, “Bye, Cathy! We’ll see you again

soon!”

Cathy bit her finger and watched Lilly walk away.

“I want brother…” she said sadly.

Cathy’s mom tried to comfort her, saying, “Hey, we’ll go home soon. Your brother is waiting for us.”

Cathy stayed quiet and did not say anything else.

Cathy’s dad watched Blake walk away and said with surprise, “That old man is really strong. He walks

so fast and climbs the mountains easily… I’ve never seen an old man like that before.”

They arrived at the hospital.

Lilly sat on the chair, closed her eyes, and tilted her head back, allowing the doctor and nurses to

examine

her.

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be afraid of,” the doctor reassured her. “It’s just a small scratch.”

The doctor helped Lilly remove her shirt and carefully examined her. They noticed a deeper wound on

her arm compared to the one on her face. Based on the position of the wound, it seemed like she used

her arm to block something.

“How did this happen?” the doctor asked, surprised.

Lilly pondered for a moment but could not say that she had been buried under a collapsed statue and

emerged unscathed as it would not sound very believable.

Instead, she decided to mention a smaller incident. “I was trying to catch a chicken for my grandma

when I went back home. The chicken was running too fast inside the coop, and suddenly the coop

collapsed for some reason. I got scratched by the tiles.”

The doctor responded with a puzzled expression, “Hmm…”

Continuing the examination, the doctor asked, “Are those two people outside your family members? Is

the younger one your brother? Why didn’t you ask him to catch the chicken?”

Lilly replied, “My brother can’t do it!”

The doctor remained silent, taking care to clean the wound and ensure there were no remaining debris.

They applied a hemostatic medicine and wrapped a bandage around Lilly’s arm.They simply applied

some ointment on the wounds on her face.

When Lilly stepped out of the consultation room, there were three or four noticeable scars on her pretty

face.

Cloud and Blake felt their hearts sink, both thinking the same thing….

This is bad. The old woman is going to kill us!

Blake thought quickly, “I still have some unfinished business. I’ll bring Lilly back in a few days. You

should go back home for now!”

Cloud glanced at Blake and said, “I have something to take care of as well, so I won’t go back for now.”

Lilly blinked and spoke honestly and directly, “Daddy, Uncle Cloud, are you afraid of getting hit on the

head by grandma?”

Blake thought to himself…

Why are you speaking my mind?

Blake quickly replied, “No, I’m not afraid of ghosts, why would I be afraid of your grandma?”

Lilly snorted, “So do you mean grandma is scarier than ghosts?”

With a hint of amusement in his eyes, Cloud chimed in, “Lilly, it seems like your father is more afraid of

your grandma than ghosts.”

Blake’s eyes narrowed slightly as he contemplated. If Jean were still here, he might still be afraid of her

as

well.

He knew that Blake was not afraid of the old lady, but rather obedient to her.

Lilly asked, “Then is Uncle Cloud scared of Grandma?”

Cloud shook his head and replied, “Nope.”

Lilly looked puzzled. It was strange that Uncle Cloud would not dare to go home if he wasn’t afraid of

grandma.

“Then what are you going to do later, Uncle Cloud?”

Cloud hesitated and said, “Uh, Uncle Cloud’s business is the same as your Daddy’s!”

Lilly turned to look at her father.

Blake awkwardly cleared his throat and pretended to be serious, saying, “We have to save someone.”

“What about Cathy we encountered on the road? Isn’t there something unclean about her?”

Lilly’s attention immediately shifted back, and he nodded, saying, “Yes, she has a bad aura on her

body. It’s not originating from herself. It seems to have been transmitted by someone close to her.”

The two times Lilly hugged Cathy were attempts to remove the bad aura from her body, but it did not

work. The bad aura on her body was somehow connected to her brother.

Cloud asked, “Is it her parents?”

Lilly shook his head and replied, “No, her aunt and uncle don’t have any ghosts on them.”

Blake had already gotten rid of his disguise and embraced Lilly, whispering, “Cathy’s parents

mentioned that Cathy has an older brother. Maybe the ghost is attached to him.”

Lilly nodded, saying, “I think so too!”

Cloud thought to himself…

I see. They want to capture the ghost of Cathy’s brother.

As the three of them made their way to the first–floor lobby, they heard cries coming from the

emergency room, “Cathy… my Cathy!”

From a distance, the scene appeared chaotic, but it was evident that it was Cathy and her parents

whom they had encountered earlier.

“Daddy, let’s go and see what’s happening!” Lilly urged.

Inside the emergency room…

Cathy lay on a bed, being swiftly pushed into the emergency room. Her father paced anxiously, while

her mother wiped away her tears,

Cathy, who had been lively and energetic just moments ago, now had a pale face, purple lips, and her

body twisted at an abnormal angle, twitching uncontrollably.

The doctors in the emergency room worked frantically to save her. They inserted a tongue depressor

into her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and several people held her down. Medical

equipment was brought in to monitor her heart rate and blood was drawn….

Cathy’s spasms grew increasingly severe, and her eyes started to roll back.

“Let me help!” Lilly shouted, but the medical staff, viewing her as a disruptive presence, scolded the

adults.

to remove the child. Non–medical personnel were not allowed to participate in medical procedures in

regular hospitals.

Lilly was barred from entering the emergency room, left standing outside…
