Chapter 1128
Spoiled (Lily)
Bettany got up early in the morning to make breakfast.
Hugh went to exercise refreshed. He did not know if it was an illusion but felt his physical fitness had returned to that of youth.
Then he wanted to take Bettany with him, but Bettany was busy making breakfast and ignored him.
âLilly is at home. If sheâs hungry and comes out to find food, itâs not too late for you to make it!â
Hugh felt distressed that Bettany had to get up early every morning to cook. He was a little worried.
Bettany snorted. âYou know nothing.â
So Hugh shut up. Bettany had been getting too lazy to talk to him lately.
Bettany made millet cereal and then told Margaret to take it aside to keep it at about 30 degrees, so it would not be too hot or cold. Lilly could eat it right after she woke up. Then Bettany made some sandwiches.
She also made fried chicken. She washed the chicken and started frying it. Although it was only fried chicken, Bettany made preparations before 6 a.m.
Margaret said, âMrs. Crawford, I can make fried chicken. You donât need to wake up so early.â
Bettany responded, âI want to make it myself.â
Margaret and the other maids did not know Lilly was in the room. After all, it was too bizarre not to go out for two months without any movement.
It would be even more bizarre to say Lilly was in the room because of her poor health. Bettany only entered the room once, and no one else was allowed to enter the room at other times, so Margaret and the other maids thought Lilly was away again.
Margaret comforted herself, saying, âMaybe Little Miss will come back today. Youâd better take care of your health.â
However, Margaret also knew that every time Lilly went out for a long time, It would be one or two years. They did not ask about the details, as they knew they should not ask about some matters in the Crawford family.
Bettany and Margaret made breakfast as usual and shouted, âBreakfast is ready!â
The rest of the Crawford family went downstairs one after another. Hannah looked like she was still sleepy; Josh walked slowly; Drake was straight and elegant.
Anthony looked at his phone. He had something to do these days. Lisa was in Hallow County now. So he would go to Hallow County later.
Suddenly, Lillyâs room door opened. A familiar and cheerful voice sounded, âIâm coming!â
Everyone stopped for an instant and turned to look upstairs.
Josh was dumbfounded. Hannah rubbed her eyes, thinking she was dreaming. Drake lost his composure and asked in surprise, âLilly?â
Bettany did not expect it. After two months, she finally received a response from Lilly. She woke up!
Bettany almost cried with joy and hurried over. Lilly also ran downstairs and hugged her.
âGranny, Iâm hungry!â Lilly said.
Bettanyâs eyes were moist. âIâve already made breakfast! Lilly, when did you wake⦠When did you come back? You didnât even tell me.â
Margaret was also surprised. âYes, Little Miss! You scare me! Why didnât you say anything when you came back?â
Lilly raised her head, and her voice was crisp and sweet. âWhen I came back, it was midnight! Uhâ¦
Uncle Anthony picked me up.â
Anthony returned to his senses and nodded. âYes, it was too late. So I didnât disturb you all.â
Margaret was happy and hurriedly said, âLittle Miss, come eat! Mrs. Crawford has been waiting for you for a long time!â
The Crawford Mansion instantly became lively. Hannah was no longer sleepy and chattered around Lilly non-stop. Josh and Drake served Lilly food.
Zachary usually did not wake up before he was about to leave for school. He bounced up when he heard Lillyâs voice and quickly washed himself to join them.
Lilly ate fast. She soon ate cereal, sandwiches, fried chicken, and a poached egg.
Bettany breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she prepared food every day. Lilly looked happy while eating.
Bettany asked Lilly, âHow long will you be out this time?â
Lilly said, âGranny, Iâll go out in a few daysâ¦â
Bettany paused. Well, Lilly has been at home for almost three months this time. I should be content.
Anthony chose to stay home for the day. As he was worried about Lisa, he decided to go to Hallow County the next day.
Lilly asked, âUncle Anthony, have you followed Aunt Lisa?â
Anthony nodded. âIâm worried about leaving Lisa alone.â
When Lisa went to Mount Cape, he went to the small town at the foot of Mount Cape to wait for her;
when she went to the East Coast, he went to the village beside the East Coast.
He could not help her with anything but would not make trouble. All he could do was accompany her.
âHow is the baby in Aunt Lisaâs belly? Has the baby grown?â Lilly suddenly asked.
