NovelEnglishThe Crawford family had their own opinions on what to name the newborn.
Bettany pondered. “Marvel?” Marvel meant extraordinary.
The child born in the toilet was indeed extraordinary.
Hugh objected. “That's vulgar! Conrad is better! Be a brave kid!” Bettany felt dissatisfied. “This name isn’t good!” Edward said, “How about Ryan? It means little king.” Liam also suggested. “Maybe Kendrick? The royal power.” Josh spoke, “How about Neal? The champion!” Hannah looked curious. “Who named Drake and Josh back then?” Everyone looked at Anthony. Anthony said lightly, “Let Lilly name the baby.” Anthony named Drake and Josh back then. Now he wanted Lilly to name the baby.
Lilly pondered, then said, “I think Matthan sounds nice.” Matthan meant hope.
People spent their whole lives trying to find hope. Some people were looking for their light; some searched for value; and some were looking for their pursuits and dreams. As long as there was something to look forward to, life had meaning.
The name got a unanimous nod from the Crawford family. Anyway, the name Lilly chose was the best! Bettany nodded. “Then the baby’s name is Matthan Crawford.” Anthony had no problem with it. Lisa had no opinion either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLilly looked at the baby, who was sleeping well in the swaddle. She could not help but smile and whisper, “Hello, Matt...” Remember to come to me later. You must be the best kid, better than everyone else.
Lilly kept those words in her heart.
Lisa went home after two days in the hospital. The Crawford family became more lively. Everyone looked busy every day.
Bettany was busy teaching Lisa how to breastfeed. Anthony and Drake were busy choosing newborn products strictly.
Lilly, Josh, and Hannah frequently ran to Matthan’s room and played with him in various ways.
On Monday, Lilly would go back. At night, Bettany hugged Matthan and sighed. “Lilly, it's a pity | can’t accompany you.” Lilly patted Bettany’s shoulder. “It’s all right, Granny! I've grown up!” Bettany smiled. Lilly was only eight, but she said she had grown up.
Lilly pointed to the World Mirror on the desk. “Granny, it's called the World Mirror.” After a pause, she said cryptically, “When you look at the World Mirror, it's like seeing me!” Bettany understood in an instant and nodded. “Okay.” Lilly smiled at her.
The next day. When Bettany entered Lilly’s room again, she saw that Lilly was no longer there.
She was sad for a moment, but soon heard Mattan crying. She immediately became busy. “Matt, Granny is here! Margaret, boil some water for Matt. You guys hurry to school! Don’t surround Matt!” Drake came out with several younger siblings.
Josh and Hannah quietly glanced at Lilly’s room with reluctance and loneliness in their eyes. Lilly left again. They did not know when they would see each other next time.
Hannah quietly clenched her fists while holding back the tears. She would take good care of Matthan. When she met Lilly again, she must have been a good sister.
Just as Lilly left, an unexpected visitor came to the door of the Crawford Mansion.
Alban kept an eye on the Crawford family, as he knew Lilly should be back when Lisa gave birth.
Sure enough, Alban saw Lilly. But he had no chance to see her again.
On Monday, among the children of the Crawford family who went to school together, Alban did not see Lilly, and Lilly never appeared.
It meant that the World Mirror was in the Crawford Mansion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlban naturally had a way to get into the Crawford Mansion. After all, he was not ordinary.
So when he stood outside on the balcony of Lilly’s room and saw the World Mirror inside through the glass window, he was shocked.
How could she place this mirror casually? Alban only felt angry and thought Lilly was too reckless.
The Crawford Mansion was quiet at midnight. After much hesitation, Alban decided to break into Lilly’s room.
Alban only wanted to use the mirror to travel to the underworld. If it were someone else, that person would have snatched that treasure long ago, but he did not. Thinking of that, Alban felt he did not do anything wrong.
However, as soon as he touched the balcony door handle, a black shadow suddenly appeared. The cold light came on, and three bloodstains appeared on the back of Alban’s hand! Who is it? Alban was shocked! In the darkness, he could not see any figures. Is it a ghost? But if it were a ghost, he would have seen it.
At this moment, Esper was squatting not far away from Alban. Its eyes were indifferent, with a trace of disdain.
Suddenly, a bell rang. Bellflower appeared on the balcony railing. It squatted there while staring straight at Alban.
Alban whispered, “It turned out to be a cat! Was it you just now?” Esper was speechless.
