Chapter 350
Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 350 Itâll Be Over Before You Know It!
Gilbert frowned, looking at Zacharyâs medical report. Bettany mentioned that he fell from the second floor five years ago, so he suspected that he had an aneurysm. He then said, âLetâs conduct an MRI scan for him.
People usually omit the early stage of an aneurysm. It could be seen that the child would sleep excessively, their skulls might be enlarged, and they might even have seizures.
He had always thought that Zachary was no different from normal children, and he felt that it was his fault for not realizing it. He was always talking back before Lilly came; Mr. Crawford and Old Mrs.
Crawford were always angry with his attitude. If I really think about it, Zachary always ignores everyone when they talk with him, and we always think that heâs talking back to us. But it seems like he was having a slow reaction back then.
Bettany asked worriedly, âIs it severe?â
Gilbert answered, âItâs not the worst case, but itâs affecting him too. But itâs recommended for him to undergo surgery to clear it as soon as possible.
Josh asked, âDo you mean you have to cut his skull open?â
Gilbert nodded, and he explained to them Zacharyâs symptoms and conditions. Bettany informed.
everyone about it in their family group chat, where Zachary had to undergo more check-ups and Gilbert would be arranging for him to be hospitalized. It was hard to reserve a spot in the government hospital, but luckily Gilbert managed to secure a bed for Zachary the following week. She brought the children back home by car. Suddenly, Zachary asked inside the car, âMust my skull be opened?â
Bettany was stunned. So heâs been thinking about it all along!
Lilly patted his hand and comforted him by saying, âZac, itâs alright. Itâs just one cut! Itâll be over before you know it.â
Pablo was speechless after hearing her words. Itâs just on cut? Why does it sound so weird when Lilly says it?
Everyone was discussing Zacharyâs conditions throughout the day, and they tried to comfort him and prepare him for the surgery. But he looked indifferent; they did not know if he listened to what they said or not.
Meanwhile, Drake was lying on the bed the entire day, and he was displeased as he did not get the sweet from Lilly!
During the weekend, Gilbert brought Lilly out to Huxleyâs house to eat. Josh wanted to tag along, but he was rejected. He could only see Gilbertâs car drive off at the end of the road.
Drake snorted, âYouâre ridiculous! Donât act like theyâre not coming back tonight; why did you have to see them off?â
Josh stared at him and replied, âThen why are you here too?â
Drake turned around and walked back to the house, and he said, âIâm just passing by.â
Josh caught up to him, and he asked mockingly, âDrake, donât you think that whatever you said sounds familiar?â
Drake wanted to say something, but he suddenly recalled the time when Josh pretended to get water and passed by Lillyâs room. He still had the footage on his phone! He did not expect himself to use the same lame excuse as Josh back then! He felt embarrassed, snorted, and went back to the house.
Josh said triumphantly to taunt him, âLilly had three sweets yesterday. She gave one to Zac to cheer him for the checkup. She ate one herself. And did you know who got the last piece? He, he, itâs me! Ha, the sweetness is so nice!â He seemed so immersed in recalling what happened.
up Drake suppressed his anger, trying his best not to beat Josh. He said coldly, âItâs just a sweet; who cares about it?â I donât give a damn about it! He snorted again and went back to his room.
Josh raised his voice and said, âYes, itâs just a piece of sweet. I wonder who was the one staring at Zacâs mouth yesterday. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!â
Drake slammed the door; Josh was satisfied with his reaction!
Huxleyâs relatives had already arrived when Gilbert and Lilly arrived. His house was located in a village near the city; the village actually looked decent. Most of the villagers actually built their own houses;
Huxleyâs house was a two-level house. There were people sitting in the living room as well as at the entrance. Everyone welcomed them upon their arrival, Lillyâs hands were full of sweets, and her pockets were full too. Wow, I like it here!
Huxley was surprised to see them coming, and he introduced them to his relatives, most of whom were his brothers and sisters. âDr. Gilbert, please have a seat Weâre going to eat soon!â Ruby was wearing an apron, and she gave Lilly a drumstick, as she said. There were a few more children inside the living room, but most of them were watching animation on their phones. And they were chit-chatting too.
Pablo was standing at the side, and he commented, âTheir family seems to be united; itâs just unfortunate that someone from their family is a villain. But, luckily that someone was just a cousin to them.â He remembered that the karma spirit possessed Rubyâs cousin-in-law.
Lilly nodded, and she said blurry with biscuits stuffed side her mouth, âMaster, look at him!â A white car pulled over at the entrance, and a man with a spirit on his head got down from the car. He was wearing a checkered shirt with a golden watch, and he walked in style.
âWow, everyone is here! Dr. Gilbert is here too! The man passionately greeted Gilbert, and he urged Ruby by saying, âIs it time to eat now? We should have come over early to help out, but your cousin was taking so long to get ready! Ruby, ask her to help you out if you need anything now!â
