Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Chapter 364 Strange Old Woman Josh and Lilly gathered in front of the laptop screen to watch the surveillance footage. Old Mrs. Crawford decided to join in the fun too. That was when all three of them saw how Polly tricked and bullied Bellflower incessantly, including stepping on Bellflower’s head with his sharp talons and attacking Bellflower with his beak. He tortured Bellflower by pretending to lie asleep on the ground, then flying up in the air when Bellflower approached him, squawking | can fly! | can fly!” Finally, Bellflower gave up and hid from the bird in the shrubs.

Lilly and Josh gasped in shock at their newfound revelation. Even Old Mrs. Crawford cussed under her breath.

Drake Crawford eyed the pesky little bird, begrudgingly admitting that it was a clever creature. Lilly, on the other hand, was less than impressed with her naughty pet. She stood up, eyes wide with anger and yelled at the top of her lungs. “PO-LLLYYYYY!!Il” Lilly voice ripped through the air, but Polly was already long gone.

Bellflower approached Lilly with a pitiful look on its face and rubbed against her leg clingily. Lilly picked the little creature up and cradled it in her arms. “I'm sorry for blaming you, Bellflower,” she cooed. “Polly was a bad bird! We won't play with him next time!” Lilly vowed to give Polly a little scare next time when they were out catching spirits. Bellflower mewed in agreement.

Atop a big tree branch, Polly watched as the shameless at gained sympathy points with Lilly and her family. Bellflower even turned to look at Polly on the tree with a smug look on its face. Ugh, that two-faced cat! What a tattletale! Polly huffed angrily.

1 It was still bright outside when Grace arrived at Bedlam She searched everywhere from the entrance of the asylum to the wards, all the way down to the basement. By the time the sky had turned dark, she had not found a single ghost, which was truly a surprise to her. A place like Bedlam was exactly where evil spirits loved to gather and congregate. Even if it was not exactly a gathering of ghosts, there should at least be one single, stray ghost somewhere, but there was none! What Grace did not know was that Lilly had already exorcised and gotten rid of all the evil spirits in the asylum. The remaining stray ghosts had also smartened up after their experience with Blake. They used to spook humans for the fun of it, but now they scattered and hid in the dark whenever an earthly being approached.

Grace looked at her surroundings and grimaced as she noticed talismans hung up in every corner of the asylum and realized what had happened. Lilly had already done the work and covered the entire area! Ugh! The hospital was eerily silent at night since most patients and their family members had gone to bed. Zachary Crawford was having trouble sleeping as nightmares kept plaguing him. First, he dreamt of his Uncle Gilbert holding a knife and pointing it at him with a sinister smile on his face. Next, another doctor entered the room with an even bigger meat cleaver and aimed it at his head, striking down...

Zachary jolted up from his nightmare drenched in cold sweat, blinking at the dark ceiling. His dream had felt so real, as if he felt the pain of dying under the knife. He was never too keen on the surgery in the first place, but the nightmares only made him even more averse to the idea of it. He turned his head only to find his father who was sleeping atop some drawing plans on the small bedside table. It looked like he had fallen asleep unknowingly.

Zachary flattened his lip. He could count with one hand the number of times his parents had ever accompanied him for anything as a kid. Perhaps they did, but he certainly could not recall any of those 13 | guating and pretting him at mgmt.
