Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 776

In the evening, Lake of Confusion was eerily quiet. Unknown birds were frightened into flight and made noises.

Blake, Lilly, and Lisa looked at each other.

Blake was calm. He looked at the big hole, the round-bottomed iron pot that flew aside, and asked, "Have you two eaten?"

Lisa and Lilly shook their heads honestly. Lilly's stomach even rumbled.

Blake saw Lisa had bruises, and Lilly also got injured on her face and arms, but overall there was nothing serious.

They met danger.

Blake suppressed his pain and worries, silently picked up the iron pot on the ground, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. The stewed pheasant will be ready soon."

Next to the bonfire was a deck chair, fully unfolded at the moment, where Blake should rest at night.

Lisa threw herself on the deck chair as if out of consciousness and hugged Lilly.

Lilly lay softly in Lisa's arms with her limbs stretched out.

"I'm so hungry." After escaping from danger, Lilly realized she had exhausted all her strength. She felt so hungry that she wanted to cry. She did not want to move and could only lie down. Blake scooped up the pheasant. He had not completed stewing it, but its flesh on the outside was the most tender. He tore off the outer layer from the pheasant and filled two bowls of soup.

Lisa watched Lilly gobble up the pheasant soup while blowing. She immediately passed her bowl over.

"I'm not hungry!" Lisa said, "You eat it!"

Lilly shook her head. "No, you eat it!"

Lisa insisted on giving her soup, so Lilly ate it.

Lilly, who drank two bowls of pheasant soup, was still hungry. She stared at the pot of pheasant.

Blake suddenly understood why Bettany had to come to Malie City.

"Lilly, we'll go home after we eat the pheasant." Blake felt his heartache. He could not help but hug Lilly tightly in his arms.

Once Lilly consumed too much energy, she would be hungry.

Lilly was so hungry that Blake dared not to ask her what had happened in the underworld.

He was afraid that he would not let her go down again.

After stewing the pheasant, Lilly ate all of it. Blake and Lisa were reluctant to eat any. Lilly was too hungry.

After Blake put out the bonfire, he quickly threw the pots and pans into the trunk and immediately drove to the house.

The nearest county town to Apex Mountain was Malie City. Lilly fell asleep in the car after eating a pot of pheasant soup.

It took about 40 minutes to descend from Apex Mountain and about an hour to return to Malie City from the foot of Apex Mountain. Blake called Bettany and said they would be home in an hour. The SUV drove down the mountain.

When Bettany heard Lilly was returning, the quiet house was suddenly noisy.

"Margaret, get the frozen lobster out of the freezer!"

The lobster was cooked and frozen in the refrigerator. If Lilly did not return today, they would eat the lobster tomorrow and replenish fresh ones for Lilly.

"Wash the veggies and take the chilled beef out! And that chicken! The chicken we bought today! Kill it!"

The Crawford family developed a space to keep pets. That was what the designer understood. If the designer saw that the pet room was for raising chickens, he would be stunned.

Commercial buildings could not raise chickens. So they used a lot of money to build the pet room to solve the problems of disturbing residents and sanitation. They only wanted Lilly to eat fresh chickens. Bettany heard Lilly was hungry and worried she would eat too fast. It would be bad for her stomach. So Bettany immediately chopped up the stuffing and wanted to make minced meat eggs for Lilly to fill her stomach first.

"Quick! Lilly will be home in an hour! Hugh, slice the mushrooms! Where's Drake? Wash the veggies! Margaret, that stuffing..." Drake came out of the room and went into the kitchen to wash the vegetables. The vegetables became sparse after washing.

Meanwhile, Hugh clumsily cut the mushrooms into different sizes.

Bettany felt anxious. "You two are so stupid! Get out!"

Drake and Hugh looked at each other after being kicked out.

Drake put on his shoes and went out. Hugh asked him where he was going, and he answered coolly, "Go for a walk."

Hugh was baffled. He sat outside on the balcony to watch the news while looking at the intersection in the distance from time to time.

When Drake arrived at the community gate, he sat on a seat at the bus stop.

He could see Apex Mountain from the bus station. The way back from Apex Mountain also passed here, and he could see it from a distance. Drake stared at the road in the distance. After a long time, he finally saw Blake's SUV.

He immediately stood up and went to the store downstairs in the community to buy two ice creams.

One ice cream was for Lilly, and another one was for Lisa.

When Blake's car was about to enter the community, he saw Drake coming out of the store with a bottle of sauce and two ice creams.

The car stopped. Blake rolled down the window and glanced at the ice creams in Drake's hands.

Drake did not change his expression. "I came down to buy sauce for Granny."

Blake raised his eyebrows.
