Chapter 87
Spoiled (Lily)
Seeing that Valentine was crying, they did not know what to say.
When someone was about to die, no one could stop them. Rather than being connected to countless tubes and suffering until the end, it was better to just let go.Lilly comforted him, âThere, there, donât cry, Mr. Val. If you cryâ¦â
Valentine raised his head, revealing his face covered in snot.
Dumbfounded, Lilly quickly took two steps back, unable to continue comforting him.
Mrs. Taylor, who was floating at the side, said, âYouâll look ugly if you cry! Youâre already grown up, but you still let your snot flow into your mouthâ¦â A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes as she thanked Lilly, âThank you, Lilly.â
Otherwise, she did not know how long she had to suffer. In the end, she would even be âkilledâ by her son. There was nothing more tragic.
Lilly shook her head as she said, âNo problem, Granny.â After a moment, she continued with a fierce expression, âHowever, Iâve put up with you since you scared me last time!â
Mrs. Taylor laughed and apologized, âIâm sorry! I wonât scare anyone anymore!â Well, who asked Lilly to be the little Hades? Other than going to her, Mrs. Taylor had no other choice.
Mrs. Taylor sighed and said, âCan I talk to my son?â
Lilly felt a little awkward, but Pablo raised an eyebrow.
âAlright, Lilly, Iâm going to teach you something amazing! This spell can allow a spirit to speak through someone elseâs mouth!â
Lilly was taken aback. âIs that what it means for the dead to speak?â
Pablo replied, âWell⦠I guess youâre right.â
Lilly nodded. âI understand.â
Charlie stared at Lilly talking to herself and asked worriedly, âMr. Anthony⦠Has the Little Miss always been like this?â
Anthony replied indifferently, âSheâs talking to someone on the phone.â
Josh also nodded. âSheâs wearing a special earphone.â
The father and son were spouting nonsense with straight faces.
Charlie was speechless. Was⦠Was that really the case?
Pablo said, âCome on, repeat after me. May the Dragon City fly!â
Lilly said, âMay the Dragon City fly!â
Pablo continued, âCome on baby, donât be shy.â
Lilly repeated after him, âCome on baby, donât be shy.â
Pablo immediately laughed.
Everyone present was speechless.
Pablo could not help but think that Lilly was too gullible!
Lilly glared at him. âMaster, youâre tricking me again!â
Pablo coughed and said, âNo, no. This skill requires someone who is somewhat related to the dead person. No oneâs suitable here, so Iâll teach you another skill, reviving corpses!â
Lilly said worriedly, âMaster, if you trick me again, youâll become a stinky fart!â
Anthony could not help but smile. Although he did not know what Lilly and her master were discussing, Lillyâs fierce expression was adorable. Even Josh felt relaxed and thought that everything was not as scary anymore.
The moment he thought that Mrs. Taylor, who was lying on the bed, suddenly took a deep breath and sat up!
Josh was so shocked that he quickly hugged Anthonyâs thigh. Anthony was speechless.
Charlie exclaimed, âThe corpse⦠revived?!â
Lilly blinked her eyes innocently, âNo, I just accidentally stepped on the bedâs button!â
Charlie was rendered speechless.
Soon, everyone left the room, leaving Mrs. Taylor and Valentine alone to talk.
In the room, Spirit-calling Banners fluttered with the wind, and the yellow talismans on the wall rattled.
Mrs. Taylor lowered her head, her arms resting by her side weakly.
âValâ¦â She said slowly. Her voice, in addition to the surroundings, made it seem scary.
Valentine said nervously, âMother?â
Mrs. Taylor could not raise her head, so her voice was a little muffled. âIâm leaving soon, so you donât have to try saving me. Iâm satisfied with my life.â
Valentineâs eyes turned red. âMotherâ¦â
Mrs. Taylor continued, âRemember, there is something you must investigate in the future⦠Investigate the boy surnamed MacNeil who lived in our house when he was little!â
Mrs. Taylor had died, so the scenes in her life were the clearest now. She remembered that they saved a little boy, so he lived at their house for some time⦠He looked a little similar to the current Lilly.
âMaybe heâs Lillyâs father. He was seven back then, so he should be around 25 to 26 now. Itâs the same as what Mr. Rosewood said. You should try your best to help the Crawford family find him, understand?
Find a chance to talk to them about it.â
Valentine nodded seriously. âI understand, Mother.â
â¦
Lilly carried her Bunny and stood by the door, looking at the villa on the opposite. There were people at the villa, and they were all dressed in black. The funeral services came over, and there was also a police car at the side.
âRest in peace, Mr. Rosewood!â Lilly said softly.
Old Mr. Rosewood had probably seen Ameliaâs corpse. Unfortunately, it had been a long time, and Amelia had been long gone.
Lilly pursed her lips, and her big eyes seemed a little dull. No one knew what she was thinking about when she was quiet.
Pablo was dressed in a white robe as he leaned lazily to the side. He was holding a book, but his eyes were on Lilly. Compared to finding Lillyâs biological father, he was more concerned about whether she could endure this.
He wrote a line under Lillyâs name in his book, âvicissitudes of lifeâ. Was Lilly going through a trial now?
As he thought about it, he heard Lilly talking to the parrot, âPolly, 2-5-2-2-6 years old is really old, right?â
Lillyâs mathematics was not very good. She was only 4 years old, and she had not even been to kindergarten.
Pollyâs head rubbed against Lillyâs hand as it said, âOld mountain monster! Old mountain monster!â
Lilly put on a sad expression. She did not want a monster to be her father!
She did not manage to fill up her jar this time, but she learned that her father might be a monster!
After going through a fierce battle in her heart, she said to Polly, âForget it! A child canât complain about their own dad. Even if heâs a pig, heâs still my dad! Polly canât complain about him too!â
Polly said, âDad! Dad!â
Lilly laughed.
At this moment, Valentine walked out and whispered something to Anthony. After a moment, Anthony said, âLilly, weâre leaving.â
Lilly sat in the car and looked at the Taylor residence as it got further away. She leaned on the window and said, âMr. Val will get rich. Itâs a place with rich energies.â
Anthony replied, âMmhm.â
He did not know much about energy. However, he knew that one could only rely on themselves.
Valentine had a good personality, so it was no wonder he would get rich.
â¦
At night, as the wind blew around the Rosewood residence. A black figure appeared in Old Mr.
Rosewoodâs room.
The figure wore black clothing and was about 6.2 feet tall. He pulled a chair over and sat down. Sitting crossed-legged on the chair with his fingers clasped, he stared at Old Mr. Rosewoodâs bed.
âIâm a step too late,â he said in a low voice.
