Lilly was waiting outside the door patiently.

Suddenly, the door opened. A person rushed out half-naked.

Lilly was dumbfounded. She saw a frightened Josh running out, so she followed behind him. Without turning around, Josh felt someone chasing him and felt even more frightened. He ran towards the study and shouted, "Dad! Save me!"

Hugh and Bettany heard it and came out asking, "What's wrong?"

There were two children running in the corridor of the second floor. Josh could not escape.

Anthony walked out of the study and saw Josh, who was still holding his pants, and Lilly, who was chasing behind him.

"What's wrong?" Anthony caught Josh in his arms. Then, he smelled something funny.

Anthony realized it was because Josh had not cleaned himself after going to the toilet.

Josh panicked and said, "There's a ghost!"

Lilly caught up and tried to catch her breath. She said, "Josh, there's no ghost!" She wondered why Josh would run from her since she was a human and not a ghost.

Lilly turned around suspiciously. She knew Ms. Ugly was a ghost, but ordinary people should not be able to see her.

The female ghost that was floating behind was curious too. She wondered why Josh could see him. The ghost got close to Josh, but she realized Josh was looking behind her. "You can't see me here," the ghost mumbled to herself.

First, Lilly saw the old woman's soul in her dreams. Now, Josh saw a female ghost for no reason.

Pablo thought something creepy was happening.

Anthony patted Josh's shoulder and said, "There's no ghost. It's Lilly."

Josh turned around and saw Lilly standing behind him. Behind Lilly, Josh also saw Grandpa and Grandma peeking out of their room.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

Then, Josh felt a light breeze grazing his bottom.

Lilly covered her eyes and asked, "Josh, why did you run out without wearing your pants?"

Josh kept quiet. He quickly pulled up his pants and felt uncomfortable. That was the most embarrassing moment of his life

Josh wanted to take a shower when he remembered he did not wipe his bottom. When he remembered what he saw, he said, "I really saw it. A very ugly female ghost."

The female felt hurt after hearing Josh's statement. She wondered if she was really that ugly.

Pablo asked, "What happened?" The female ghost shook her head and replied, "I don't know. I went in and saw him using the toilet. Then, he looked up and our eyes met." Everyone from the Crawford family was shocked and baffled. Anthony said, "Josh, go and take a shower."

Josh was scared.

Lilly asked, "Josh, are you scared? If you are scared..."

Before she could finish, Josh sneered and said, "Who said I'm afraid?" Then, he walked out of the room.

Anthony frowned and said, "Lily, go outside with your Granny." After that, he immediately followed Josh back to his room.

Pablo wondered how Josh could see the female ghost. Then, he said, "May go inside again."

Lilly stared at Pablo and said, "Master, don't do anything evil." Pablo kept quiet.

After Lilly saw Josh leaving, she looked at her hands and wondered if she made any mistakes. She was sure that she did not do anything wrong.

Inside the room, Josh was relieved to see his father with him. He no longer saw anything after his shower.

Anthony asked when he saw Josh coming out of the bathroom, "Did you really see it just now?"

Josh said softly, "Perhaps I made a mistake."

Anthony wanted to say something, but something flashed across his mind, so he only said, "Remember. Protect your sister in any circumstances."

Josh said, "Lilly said she wanted to go to school with me tomorrow."

Anthony said without hesitating, "Take her along then." He knew Lilly had her reasons for going to school.

Josh asked, "Daddy, aren't you afraid Lilly will become just like Hannah because you spoil her..."

Anthony stood up and said, "No."

Josh could not believe it. He hated her sister so much.

Meanwhile, Anthony made a call in his study.

"Call Animaux Private Academy to send a set of uniforms and a school bag over. Increase the school's security as well."

The next day, Lilly woke up early and carried a small bag. She wore her uniform that was sent to her urgently. Although it was the smallest size, it was still a loose fit for Lilly. The skirt was high on her waist, and the hat covered her face. Lilly had to lift her head to see everyone.

Hugh lifted her hat a little and said, "Be careful at school."

Bettany was worried. She said, "Why don't we follow her? A child like her needs an adult by her side."

Zachary had his hands in his pockets while he was waiting for Liam to send him to kindergarten. He chuckled and said, "We can do it. Why can't Lils do it?"

He did not like how his sister was spoiled. His mother still treasured Lily when he was her age. She only gave him a phone, so he could play with it. When he tried to sleep with his mother, her mother told him a man should have no reason to stick to his mother. Even if he woke up from a nightmare, his mother would still train his courage.

Every boy from the Crawford family was independent. Zachary sneered when he saw Lilly through the car window. He hated her, but also envied her at the same time. However, he would only show his envy when no one was around.

Lilly turned around and looked at Zachary from outside. Zachary quickly turned away and started playing games on his phone.

Anthony carried Lilly and put her on the bus. He asked, "Do you need Uncle Anthony to go with you?"

Lilly shook her hands and said, "No need. Oh, Uncle Anthony, remember to take me shopping again today!"

She fell asleep after the ribbon-cutting ceremony and forgot about going shopping. She wanted to buy silver needles to treat her granny.

Anthony said gently, "Sure, I will go pick you up in the afternoon."

He left Lilly to Drake and Josh.

Drake, who was in 2nd grade, got on the bus first. Josh had no choice but to pull Lilly's hand. He said, "Hey, let me tell you this. Don't cry when you go to school!"

He turned around to look at Lilly and threatened her, "I will ignore you otherwise!"

Lilly nodded obediently, "Okay, Josh."

Josh wanted to threaten Lilly more, but he hesitated when he saw Lilly's face. He pulled Lilly into the car looking upset.

Lilly followed behind Josh. All the students on the bus were shocked.

"Josh! Who are you dragging along with you?"

"She's so small. Is she old enough for school?”

All the children on the Animaux Private Academy bus were curiously staring at Lilly.

A boy sat in the last row. He was different from the other children. He was sitting straight like a little trained warrior.

Lilly saw Ivan and smiled, "Hello!"

Ivan was surprised to see her. He panicked because he did not bring any candy.
