Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 474 I Don’t Wanna Go to School!

Josh was momentarily taken aback as he tried to recall, realizing that he had never visited his great uncle's grave before. He understood that a great uncle refers to a brother of one's grandfather or grandmother.

With this clarification, Josh concluded that his grandfather's uncle should be referred to as either "uncle" or "great-uncle",

When Josh realized his confusion, he could not figure out which specific uncle his grandma was referring to. His lack of familiarity with family relationships left him feeling dizzy and uncertai Seeking clarification, Josh asked, "Grandma, which uncle are you talking about?"

Bettany, who had casually mentioned it as an excuse, hadn't thought it through and now silently acknowledged her oversight. She replied, "I mean your grandfather's uncles."

Josh had a sudden realization, "Ah, so today marks the anniversary of the passing of our two ancestors! Grandma, you mentioned that I got confused with the term 'elder uncle. Why didn't you simply refer to Grandpa's uncle and great-uncle, and what about the elder uncle?"

They only had younger uncles, not older ones. The distinction lay in the age, not in the uncle relationship. That was why Bettany was confused.

Bettany was in the middle of eating when she glanced at him, remarking, "Seems like you don't wanna eat anymore, huh?"

Josh's hair stood on end, and he hastily grabbed his bowl of rice, saying, "I'll eat, I'll eat, I'll eat."

Bettany spoke softly, "Remember, Don't talk while you're eating, and no talking while sleeping."

Josh refrained from saying anything further, as he constantly had a sense that his grandma might unexpectedly lunge at him with her bare hands.

Zachary finished tidying up and went downstairs, while a drowsy Hannah joined them. shortly afterward.

Drake and Anthony followed behind, engaged in a hushed conversation, and a flicker of surprise crossed Anthony's eyes.

Still groggy, Hannah's first question was, "Where's Lilly?"

Hannah responded with a soft "Oh,"

After the meal, Hannah and Zachary prepared to head to school but noticed that their two older brothers did not have to go.

Hannah's eyes widened, and she asked, 'Why aren't you going to school?"

Drake remained seated at the table and calmly explained. "We're going to pay a visit to our uncle's grave,"

Upon hearing the mention of their great-uncle and the plan to visit the grave, Hugh raised his eyebrows in confusion. Why was he unaware of this? Suspiciously he glanced at Bettany, only to be met with her fiercely intimidating gaze. Hugh wisely lowered his head and resumed reading the newspaper. Meanwhile, Hannah exclaimed, "Why aren't you taking me to the grave? I don't want to go to school, I want to go to the grave!"

Bettany responded, "You've just started first grade, so it's not convenient to take leave for such matters."

Hannah turned her gaze toward Zachary and asked, "What about my brother?"

Her brother was not in the first grade, after all!

Zachary's mind drifted away, lost in his thoughts.

Bettany held back her emotions and replied, "It's not suitable for Zachary to go right after his hospitalization. It wouldn't be good for his health,"

Hannah grew even more surprised, "And what about Lilly? Lilly..."

Bettany lifted her wrists, wearing a smile on her face, and said, "So, should you go to school? If you can achieve the same academic excellence as your two brothers without attending. classes, I won't object to you going. But if you wanna go, you can. You just need to complete a set of exercises for me and then come back down. If you can't, you might as well take it to the grave!"

Hannah quickly retreated, saying, "No way!"

As long as she avoided doing her homework, everything would be easier to handle!

Bettany asked, "Do you still want to go to the grave?"

Hannah replied, "No, no, no!"

She swiftly ran and boarded the school bus.

Wow, it's quite convenient to be a top student. If you don't feel like going to school, you don't need to!

Looking at her situation and then at her brother's... Tsk tsk.

Hannah cast a glance at Zachary, who had just entered the car, feeling disappointed by his lackluster attitude.

Drake used to spend some time at the book bar after breakfast, leisurely reading a book. However, today he was not as calm as he was before. He stood up abruptly and announced, "I'm going out to get some fresh air,"

Bettany wore a perplexed expression as she observed his serious demeanor. He left without uttering another word.

Josh, too, suddenly set down his utensils and mumbled, "Grandma, I'm full! I'm going to check on Bellflower to make sure it doesn't cause any trouble."

After saying that, he quietly slipped out of the room.

Bettany's confusion grew, her eyelids twitching as she sensed an impending sense of unease.

Anthony finally lifted his head, staying silent for a moment before breaking the news, "Mom, I've found Drake and Josh's biological mother,"

Bettany's voice trembled, "What..."

Anthony checked his watch and replied, "She should be at the door by now,"

Bettany fell into silence, unable to process the sudden revelation.

Five minutes later, Bettany gazed at the woman standing before her, whom she had never met before but who was now being referred to as her "daughter-in-law." She fell into a brief silence, processing the unexpected presence of the woman who had abandoned her child and disappeared.

Bettany frowned, "How did you replace her, and where was she found?"

Observing the woman's appearance, which seemed more reminiscent of a zombie from a television show than a regular human being, Bettany could not help but feel unsettled. Anthony casually brushed off the question, "Blake helped us replace her,"

As Blake entered the house, he swiftly reversed course and made a smooth exit, executing a reasonable emergency escape.

Bettany called out, "Blake?"

Blake sheepishly touched his nose, reentered reluctantly, and confessed, "I found her in the mountains,

Bettany was skeptical, "Are you serious?"

She wanted to ensure that this discovery was not the result of some experiment carried out in a Frankenstein-like laboratory.

No wonder Bettany remained on guard, concerned about the safety of the entire family, fearing that this "daughter-in-law" might suddenly exhibit violent behavior.

At that moment, Lilly's gentle voice broke the silence, "Grandma, what Daddy said is true. We found my aunt a few days ago,"

Lilly had just woken up, still dressed in the black nightgown she wore the previous night. Her short hair was disheveled, held loosely by a fragile hair tie that seemed ready to snap at any moment. Perched on Lilly's shoulder, Polly lowered its head slightly, fixating its small eyes on the unexpected guest in the living room.

Bettany sought confirmation, asking, "Is that true?"

Lilly's eyes darted around anxiously as she replied, "Yes...yes, it is!"

Bettany felt a sigh of relief within her heart and could not bring herself to expose the truth.

"That's right, our Lilly is truly remarkable," Bettany praised gently as she lovingly stroked Lilly's soft hair. She carefully removed the hair tie that was on the verge of falling apart and smoothed down her hair. Lilly let out a breath of relief and reassured, "Don't worry, grandma, Aunt Lisa doesn't bite,"

Everyone's attention shifted back to Lilly once again.

Lilly had been fixated on Josh since she entered the room, her eyes unwavering, lacking the liveliness typically associated with a living person.

Lisa's attire appeared worn out, made from a unique material and style that resembled a priest's robe but with notable differences. The garment was loose and tattered, with a torn area around the armpit that resembled a makeshift shawl.

Drake's heart skipped a beat as he noticed this.

Fortunately, Bettany chose to ignore it and inquired, "So, who is she exactly?"
