Chapter 488 Aunt Lisa Gained Weight

He rushed over to Lisa, exclaiming with joy. “That’s incredible! You said two words!”

Well, technically, “good morning” is considered two words!

His mom was making progress with her speech!

If he taught her one word every day, after a year, she would have learned three hundred and sixty-five words!

There were 470000 words in the dictionary and about 170000 commonly used words.

If she continued to learn one word per day, it would take her a staggering 78 years to master all the words.

He could dedicate himself to teaching her for as long as she lived….

After finishing their meal, the children headed off to school.

Hannah started attending elementary school, leaving Lilly to venture off to kindergarten on her own.

Lilly did not think much of it, but every time the family saw her off to the car, it felt as if she was embarking on a journey to a distant land.

Time flew by, and as the weather grew colder, the dining table at the Crawford household became adorned with an array of sumptuous dishes like roasted lamb, steak, braised pork, and even chicken soup.

The Crawford family members were getting rounder and Lisa was rapidly gaining weight.

She ate everything Bettany served her, without any hesitation. Within just two weeks, her once skinny 5.6-. foot, 154-pound frame had ballooned to 187 pounds.

“33 pounds in two weeks!” Bettany exclaimed, observing the changes with satisfaction.

Bellflower, who was busy grooming herself, halted in her tracks upon hearing those words. She turned her attention to the scale.

She understood the words “33 pounds”!

A month ago, the old lady had put her on the scale, cheerfully announcing that she weighed 33 pounds, emphasizing that a cat had to be chubby to be adorable!

Polly bobbed his head and chuckled, saying, “Eat happily, grow like a pig! If the pig can’t put on weight, eat some more!”

With a swift motion, Bettany flung a slipper in Polly’s direction.

Polly swiftly took flight, squawking, “Do not hit the bird!”

“Nom… Nom… Nom…”

Aunt Lisa sure is serious when it comes to eating…

Her bulging belly grew at a visibly rapid pace.

Lilly asked with concern, “Won’t Aunt Lisa’s stomach burst?”

She reached out to touch it but accidentally brushed it against Josh.

“Aunt Lisa is cold!” Lilly exclaimed, “She was cold the last time too!”

Polly poked his head out from upstairs and chimed in, “Cold! Cold!”

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

Josh quickly raised his hand to feel it and said, “No, she’s still cold,”

Drake interjected silently, ‘It’s warm,”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

So, was it cold or warm?

“Gilbert, once you’re done with your meal, please check up on Lisa,” Bettany instructed.

+5 Bonus She could not help but think to herself, what a well-behaved and obedient “daughter-in-law” she has. It would be best if nothing happened.

Gilbert nodded carnestly, “Alright,”

His “sister-in-law surprised him during the previous examination.

She had no heartbeat and no body temperature.

The indications truly resembled that of a lifeless body, except for the slow circulation of blood, which was simply unbelievable.

If they were to hastily bring her back to the hospital for examination, it would surely terrify a group of medical experts.

After finishing their meal, everyone gathered outside Lisa’s room, with Josh eagerly watching.

Gilbert brought over a medical device, and Lilly piped up, “Uncle Gilbert, let me help you!”

Gilbert looked at her with a warm smile, “Sure, Lilly, you’re my wonderful assistant!”

The instrument in question was the most advanced monitoring and diagnostic device in the country.

While it may be complex for ordinary individuals to operate, Gilbert had no issues with it.

However, this particular instrume required attaching probes to the heart and chest, which meant direct contact with the skin and couldn’t be done over the clothing.

If it were an ordinary patient, Gilbert wouldn’t think much of it. But the person in front of him could potentially be his future sister-in-law.

Naturally, it was best to avoid any potential misunderstandings.

As for Anthony… let’s set him aside for now.

During the initial examination, Lilly became his little helper.

Gilbert thought she would not understand what was happening, so he called a female colleague to assist him. However, Lilly’s proficiency surprised him as she skillfully operated the equipment, and the data was displayed on the screen.

When the female colleague arrived later, she also commended Lilly for her impressive performance.

“Are you ready?” Gilbert asked from behind the curtain.

Lilly giggled and replied, “Okay! Easy peasy!”

Gilbert found her amusing and could not help but laugh. As he operated the equipment, he asked, “Who taught you this?”

Lilly responded, “Hannah!”

Gilbert raised an eyebrow and asked, “Oh? What else did she teach you?”

Lilly pondered for a moment and replied, “She also taught me about nanas!”

Gilbert was taken aback and asked, “Nanas… What?”

Lilly exclaimed, “Bananas!”

The corner of Gilbert’s mouth twitched as he said, “It’s pronounced as a banana…”

Lilly continued, “And there’s more… Darn you!”

Gilbert furrowed his brows deeply, wondering why Hannah was teaching Lilly to swear.

If Bettany heard that, Hannah would be in trouble.

Gilbert whispered, “Lilly, it’s not polite to use swear words. You shouldn’t learn it!”

Lilly looked puzzled and said, “Hannah said it’s not a bad word, it means grandma, like ‘grandma’!”

Gilbert clarified, “That word means grandmother…”

I can’t believe it, someone please give Hannah a good beating!

Meanwhile, the data on the monitoring screen began to show some changes.

Lisa’s heart still was not beating, but her blood circulation seemed abnormal.

Unbelievable!

“Body temperature: 15 degrees…”

The Arabian Nights!
