Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Bettany anxiously stood by the door, overwhelmed with distress.

She never expected her daughter-in-law” to be like this.

Well, perhaps it's best to think of it as having an extra cat...? No, cats aren't that rigid. Describing it as having a dog wouldn't be accurate either...

Lost in her thoughts. Bettany suddenly heard the door open and looked up, nearly experiencing another heart attack.

Lisa’s attire was completely askew, with her clothes worn backward, her body rigid as a board, and an eerie impression that her head was turned 180 degrees.

Bettany, visibly frightened, exclaimed. “Is she meant to be like this?” Lilly, taken aback, asked, “What's wrong?” Bettany unconsciously glanced downward and discovered that Lisa’s toes were in front, indicating that her clothes were indeed reversed.

“...” Bettany sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Anthony approached, his tall and commanding presence nearly overshadowing the room's illumination. After a moment of silence, he stepped forward, took hold of Lisa's hand, and discreetly tucked it inside his sleeve.

Anthony spoke calmly, “It took too long. You still need to dress her properly. Don’t frighten Grandma like that,” Lilly had been occupied in the guest room for over an hour, and they could not bear to keep the young child occupied any longer.

Standing at the room's doorway, Lilly inserted both of Lisa’s hands into her sleeves, then carefully adjusted the clothing, ensuring it was aligned correctly.

“Give me your hand,” Lilly instructed.

Lisa's expression remained blank, with only her eyes fixed on Anthony.

Patiently, Anthony repeated, “Hand,” Lisa made a slight movement, but without anyone guiding her, she seemed unsure how to bend her arm.

Lilly reluctantly removed her coat and made an earnest effort to demonstrate, saying, “Like this, hands and hands... come out, just like before!” Lisa processed the instructions and, with a hint of understanding in her eyes, managed to release one hand successfully.

The other hand followed suit smoothly.

Bettany let out a sigh of relief and suggested, “Let's go, let's eat first.” Finally, it was time for what Bettany was good at — making people fat.

Over two months, Bellflower experienced remarkable growth, going from 17 pounds to 33 pounds! He now spent his days energetically running around on trees to shed those extra pounds.

In the beginning, Bellflower was extremely thin, with his ribs visible on both sides. However, his adorable round belly now attests to his improved condition.

Even the General has developed a newfound love for food, becoming apprehensive at the mere sight of a rice bowl.

Observing Lisa's slender figure, Bettany remained optimistic, anticipating that within a month, or even just half a month, she would regain a normal human form.

However...

“Why is your complexion still so pale? Were you born like this?” Bettany wondered, questioning whether it was natural.

Just then, Pablo interjected, saying, “Hold on, Lilly, bring her into the room,” Lilly guided Lisa and waved their hands at Bettany, urging, “Grandma, go ahead and eat. | still have something to do!” Their small face bore a serious expression, reminiscent of Anthony right before a meeting. Everyone could only suppress their amusement and head downstairs to wait.

Pablo furrowed his brows as he observed Lisa and extended his hand to press against her chest.

“There’s something inside her...” Lilly instructed Lisa to lie down and followed Pablo’s example and pressed on her heart.

She asked, “Is there a worm? Is it a swollen worm?” Pablo responded, his expression turning serious, “That is a parasite,” If Bettany had not mentioned the darkness on her face, he would not have paid much attention. After all, it's not common to look at someone's chest without reason.

“The parasite was implanted in her body since birth. Pablo examined it, shaking his head, and continued, “It has become one with her, making it difficult to remove.” Lilly chimed in, “Well, although it's challenging to remove, there might still be a possibility.” Leaning in closer, she carefully examined the situation.

Pablo continued, “According to what Steward said, the Mccarthy family should be a family of witches. In ancient times, witches were indeed a very great profession. They could call the wind and rain, and they dared to compete with the Ruler of Hell. The Ruler of Hell ordered people to die on the third day. They dare to keep people alive until the fifth day,” “Witches are inherently good-natured. Due to their unique abilities, they impose stringent requirements on the children within their families. Whether it's a child born into the family or a disciple, they implant parasites to exert control and restrain them...” “However, when one possesses immense power, it becomes easier for malevolent forces to arise. Some deviate from the path, giving rise to factions within the world of witches. It is unsettling to hear how they silently conspire against others...” “With that, this type of parasite is typically implanted in the hearts of their disciples, granting the patriarch complete control over matters of life and death...” Lilly thought to herself, “Okay, the parasite is in the heart!” She tightly clasped Lisa's heart with her hands, a joyful expression on her face as she exclaimed, “I've got you!” Pablo paused, glancing at her small hands in astonishment.

Of course, there was nothing visible, no insects to be found.

He explained, “Capturing the parasite is not so simple, especially when it resides in the heart. If it is forcibly removed, the host will perish along with it...” Suddenly, Lilly attached a talisman, and immediately Lisa's eyes turned red as she let out a piercing scream! Beneath the talisman, something writhed and twisted! In no time, a black entity resembling an enlarged fly larva burst through the talisman and darted out! A black shimmer flickered, and the creature lunged toward Lilly’s heart with a swift motion! “Splat!” Lilly swiftly flattened the parasite, as if swatting a mosquito.

“Hmph, what kind of petty tricks are these...” Lilly muttered to themselves.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Polly was hanging by the window and promptly responded upon hearing the conversation, exclaiming, “Incredible!” The corner of Pablo’s mouth twitched; enough was enough, that word was truly driving him crazy! He raised his hand to restrain the struggling parasite on the ground and instructed, “Fetch something to trap it.” Lilly was taken aback, asking, “Can't we just burn it?” Pablo shook his head, replying, “I'm not certain. Since it is intertwined with the host, logically speaking, if it dies, your aunt will die as well...” Lilly nodded, saying, “Okay, | understand.” It was logical... well, except for those times when it was not.

She decided not to adhere to logic! Lilly raised her hand, retrieving a purple sledgehammer, and exclaimed, “Arthur! Arthur!” Without even giving the parasite a chance to react, it transformed into a pool of sticky black liquid, unable to meet its demise.

Pablo was stunned.

At that very moment, the door was forcefully kicked open with a loud bang, and Arthur burst in, exclaiming, “I'm here!” Lilly was puzzled while Pablo was speechless.

Arthur came in so suddenly, they did not realize that Lisa’s complexion suddenly turned pale...
