Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Auntie?

Lilly went into the bathroom shouting and screaming. She then did her best to wash herself until she smelled like a garden of roses. The ghosts could smell the scent of her shampoo from a mile away. Weakling spirit shook his head, smiling, then he grabbed hypocrite ghost. "Come with me. You're under observation for a month. If you can't prove yourself to be useful, you'll be fed to the jar." Harem spirit was staying far away. "Man, he smells like sh*t to me." Even seeing hypocrite ghost now filled her head with the imagery of maggots.

Weakling spirit said nothing. He didn't want this job either, but he could do it if it meant keeping this piece of sh*t away from Lilly.

Hypocrite ghost cried. "We're all malignant spirits. You can't be cannibalizing me."

Weakling spirit smiled. "We're not the same." And he dragged hypocrite ghost into the jar.

There was a place of detainment in the jar, and it was called the observation room. The ghost bride was still locked up there even now. Even though they were poker buddies, the ghosts were still worried she might be hiding some trick up her sleeve like Baldy, so they locked her up, much to her chagrin. "Aw, let me out. I wanna play some poker," she pleaded. "I submit, alright? I promise I've submitted. Please believe

me."

And then she saw hypocrite ghost getting tossed into the prison.

Oh gods.

Lilly came out, her hair wet, and she covered herself with a towel, staring around. Good. No one's around. She ran ahead and got changed.

Josh knocked on the door and came in. "Are you done? We're gonna grab something to eat, then we'll pick Zachary up."

It was almost nine, and Bettany came to see her once, but then she left. Lilly quickly dried her hair, and she said, "I'll be done soon."

Josh came in and saw her messing her hair up, much to his amusement. He quickly took the towel from her. "I'll help you." He carefully dried her hair and blew on it with a blowdryer. When Anthony came in, he saw Josh holding Lilly's hair and clumsily blowing it with a blowdryer. The poor boy was sweating.

"Just a minute!" Josh was panicking. He wanted to dry Lilly's hair fast, but he was worried she might get hurt, so he tried his best to learn from the hairstylist in the salon, moving gently as he patted her head. Lilly was on the ground, her head raised. "Slow down, Josh. Don't pluck all my hair out. I don't want to be a baldie like Hannah."

Anthony laughed. He found this heartwarming.

Lilly's eyes shone, and she turned around. "Uncle!" Uncle's back! She quickly got up and ran toward him, much to Josh's shock.

He followed her quickly and pulled off the blowdryer's socket. Lilly kept running, and Josh kept chasing with a blowdryer trailing behind him. "Wait up!"

Lilly pounced into Anthony's embrace, and Josh couldn't stop in time.

Anthony picked them up, and he said, "Let your cousin's hair go." Are you dumb, boy?

Josh let go of her. Wait. Dad's holding me? This is the first time he's sonic to me.

Anthony let him go, and Josh fell to the ground. Ugh. Fortunately, he was tall enough to not fall too much, but he could only watch as his father took Lilly away lovingly, and he followed him. "Am I even his son?" he muttered. "Really?"

After they had their meal. Anthony took the kids out. Liam had gone to the hospital, and Jack followed him, holding the lunchbox.

Zachary was on his bed in the ward, looking a little miffed. It had been seven days since Lilly came to see him. Weekdays were for school, so that was excusable, but she didn't even come on the weekend. And it's Monday now. I bet they've gone to school. They won't come for me. Hmph!

A doctor came in and looked at him, then she smiled. You'll be discharged today huh, cutiepie? I'll check on you one last time."

Zachary frowned. "And who are you? Where's Dr. Leicester?"

The doctor whipped out her stethoscope and said, "He's gone for a surgery, so he told me to go through with your checkup. Now show me your hand."

I don't like this woman. He reluctantly extended his hand and looked away, staring at the doctor's watch. It was conspicuous, since the watch was clearly a men's watch. Zachary wondered where he had seen that watch before.

The doctor left after the checkup, but she stopped at the doorway, her eyes glinting with delight. I might be able to see that man. He's the CEO of Crawford Holdings.

When Lilly came to the ward, she was greeted by a listless Zachary lying on the bed. He harrumphed and turned around, hiding his surprise. "Finally decided to come?"

Lilly huddled closer. "Are you angry, Zachary?"

Zachary was angry. You haven't been here in forever. You had school on most days, so it was fine, but what about weekends? You didn't even come to see me then. Am I that unimportant?

Lilly combed his hair with her hand and calmed him down, "Alright, alright, we're here now, aren't we?"

He harrumphed. "Without a gift?"

Lilly rummaged through her pockets. Oh, I have no lollipops left. I'll borrow one from the ghosts. She curled her finger, and a lollipop appeared beside the jar of souls. Here."

Zachary harrumphed. "Fine, I can forgive you. Um, why is this unwrapped?"

Lilly froze, and she was horrified. Just when she was about to tell him not to eat it, Zachary had popped the lollipop into his mouth. Oh, no.

Unlucky ghost stuck his head out, trying to look for his candy. What? I can't believe someone would take my candy even when I was already eating it.

Lilly couldn't bring herself to tell Zachary that the lollipop was already licked before. She stared at him, thinking. It's not dirty. Ghosts don't eat stuff, so it's not dirty

Noticing her staring at him, Zachary asked, "What is it? Since he was getting discharged, even the candy. felt sweeter than usual.

Lilly shook her head so fast, she almost left an afterimage. "N-Nothing." Daddy said sometimes you have to make a white lic. It's alright. I'm a kid anyway.

Liam came back from doing the paperwork, and a doctor was following him. The doctor rolled her sleeves up and said, "Nothing left to be done, but for safety's sake, I should check on him."

Liam nodded and said nothing. The good thing about private hospitals was that even the wards were luxurious. There was a big couch in the room, an office, and a room for the caretaker's family to stay in.

Anthony sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, looking at the files Charlie sent him. When he heard someone coming in, he looked up and narrowed his eyes. He saw a doctor holding up a stethoscope, and he saw the watch she was wearing. The same watch he lost eight years ago.

So much time had passed, he had almost forgotten about the woman. Ten years ago, she ran off, and then she left a baby in front of his house ten months later. She did the same time eight years ago, this time leaving Josh. He had no idea why she would do that. No once had he seen her, and he couldn't replace out who she was. The only thing she took with her was a purple watch. His face fell, and he stared at the doctor. "Who are you?"
