Chapter 415
Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 415 Acts of Kindness, Embracing the Present As the ambulance pulled away, taking Parker to safety. Lilly turned her attention to Madam Fowler. The bad aura that had plagued her seemed to dissipate under Lillyâs touch as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Parker had to be saved. After all, the God of Battle couldnât bear the weight of tarnish on his name because of a mere lackey like Parker. He didnât deserve it.
Pablo lifted his hand, twirling a strand of aura between his fingertips, sensing its essence. âLook at her swollen eyelids, on the verge of tears,â he observed. âAnd this aura carries a faint familiarity. Perhaps the entity that clung to her before was a crying spirit.â
Those crying spirits were cunning, always slipping away whether it was their encounter or that of Chris.
Once again, they had failed to capture them!
Lilly, ever optimistic, turned the tables to offer comfort. âItâs alright, Master. I believe weâll catch her next time!â
Pablo suddenly fell silent.
If even Little Hades spoke of ânext time,â then surely the next time would guarantee success.
Lilly, in her unwavering enthusiasm, sought to soothe Auntie Fowler once more. âAuntie Fowler, donât worry. Look, I have a powerful fertility spell right here. Itâs incredibly effective. Would you be interested?â
Blake, Grace, and Pablo remained silent, their minds filled with confusion.
Madam Fowler froze for a moment, but then Lillyâs sincere yet childlike demeanor broke the tension, coaxing a genuine smile from her. Nodding, she replied. âSure, how much does it cost?â
Madam Fowler didnât even bother questioning the effectiveness of the spell. At least Lillyâs presence today provided some relief for her. She had a feeling that her time was running short, and every moment counted.
So she didnât inquire about the spellâs efficacy. Even if it cost a billion, she was willing to pay-money was the least of her concerns.
In the end, she would set aside some money for herself just enough to cover her meals and donate the rest. It would save the Ferguson family from their constant scheming. It was about time she took matters. into her own hands.
A sense of relief washed over Madam Fowler.
When Lilly held up a finger, Madam Fowler chuckled,A billion, huh? Alright then!â
âCome on, give Auntie the account details.â
This time it was Lilly who was taken aback.
Wait, she said ten thousand, not a billion!
Although a billion was an unimaginable sum of money truly, an astronomical amount!
However, Lilly knew she couldnât ask for that much.
She mustered up the courage and said, âAuntie Fowler my dad told us not to be bad people. This talisman. only costs a million⦠No, just a hundred thousand will do.â
The talisman paper was purchased by Anthony, and Lilly had drawn the spell on it. Anthony assured her that the production cost was minimal, so she shouldnât worry.
A production cost of fifty cents, and selling it for a hundred thousand would already be pushing the limits.
of her conscience!
It had to be said that when it came to money, Lilly had clear understandingâ¦
Madam Fowler didnât say anything. After obtaining Lillyâs account details, she transferred a billion and advised Lilly to expect the payment within the next couple of days.
Lilly hugged her toy phone with glee.
She had made money-exactly one hundred thousand!
Now she could afford to replace five door locks if needed. She could afford it!
âOh, by the way, Auntie Fowler, wait a moment! I have an incredibly potent remedyâ¦â Lilly noticed Blake giving her a glance, so she quickly changed her words. âItâs a remedy passed down from my grandmother. Itâs incredibly powerful! It can cure any ailment!â
âYou see, my grandmother can even do aerobics now. write it down for you right away,â Lilly exclaimed.
Madam Fowler now knew Lillyâs true identity and was aware that Old Mrs. Crawfordâs legs had indeed.
healed.
âReally?â Overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, she exclaimed, âThank you!â
So, does that mean she still has a chance to conceive a child with her husband?
Madam Fowler covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face silently.
Pablo floated nearby, arms crossed, deep in contemplation.
Unfortunately, in this world, one cannot offset their misdeeds with good deeds.
The consequences of their actions would always find a way to catch up with them in a different form.
She had approached Chris and requested to swap lives with another person.
Several lives had been lost due to the experiments involving life swapping⦠No matter what, she couldnât escape the connection.
âIn this world⦠good deeds and bad deeds cannot be balanced out,â Pablo murmured softly.
Balancing the scales of good and bad deeds was merely a human concept, But once evil was committed, it remained as such, varying only in its degree. In the Palace of the Ruler of Heil, each had its own judgement.
However, performing acts of kindness, doing good in the present, held its own truth. A life without wrongdoings would at least ensure a peaceful and smooth journey, and the accumulation of good deeds would never be in vain.
1 It all depended on whether the consequences of those deeds fell upon oneself or future generations.
âWeâre leaving. The purpose of their visit to Fowler family was to assess the character of Madam Fowler. With their mission accomplished, Blake showed no intention of lingering and swiftly led Lilly away.
A year later, Madam Fowlerâs health had indeed improved to some extent. Two years later, she finally fulfilled her wish and gave birth to a son.
However, she couldnât hold on for long. She passed away when her child was only three years old.
For the sake of her child, she made the difficult decision to sell the villa filled with memories. She moved to a place unknown to others and found a kind-hearted family without children, begging them to raise her child until adulthood.
She also remembered Blakeâs words: one must not be co naive. So, she gave that family a million dollars, falsely claiming it was her life savingsâ¦
What someone might do in the face of immense wealth, Madam Fowler couldnât guarantee. Therefore, she made the decision to keep some secrets hidden.
She donated half of the remaining billions, wishing only for blessings upon her child.
1 The other half was deposited into Skyward Bank, to be treated as a testament for her child, but they would only inherit it once they reached adulthood.
By that time, her child would have grown up, and the decisions they made would be their own.
Madam Fowler felt that her obsessions, her mission, had finally been completed⦠She could finally go find her husband, and she had also fulfilled her obligations to her in-laws.
However, the pain of parting with her child, whether in life or death, was a heartache she had to bear alone.
Of course, these are stories for another time.
and After leaving the Fowler family, Lilly and Blake were on their way back when they suddenly noticed something by the roadside. There, they saw one dog lying next to another, seemingly at peace, but its eyes were moist.
The dog on the ground was bleeding from seven wounts, its body clearly lifeless and rigid.
Lilly stood frozen for a moment before urgently pointing to the side of the road. âDaddy, stop the carâ¦â
As they got out of the car, someone else was quicker than them.
A young man with a phone in hand approached the two dogs while speaking, âI was on my way back from grocery shopping, and guess what I stumbled uponâ¦â
He seemed to realize his words werenât quite right and immediately paused, retracting his steps.
This time, he held his phone and hurriedly ran towards the dogs, his tone filled with concern. âI was just about to head home from grocery shopping when I sensed something was wrong over here.â
He was panting, as if he had run a great distance, finally coming to a stop in front of the dogs. âOhâ¦
my God⦠this is⦠tooâ¦â
He seemed unable to continue, and the camera started shaking.
Lilly had already been frozen in place, and the reason she hadnât approached earlier was that the man had a malignant spirit hovering above his headâ¦.
The dog, seeing that someone had finally arrived, wagged its tail with hope, cautiously pleading with its pitiful eyes for somethingâ¦
