Chapter 524
It was snowing when Lilly was leaving home, and she told everyone that she would be back for food.
Bettany’s eyes reddened and she said, “Alright, let’s have your favourite food! Everyone is eating it
tonight! Margaret, bring the waffles out!” Before she went missing, she asked everyone to eat waffles
with her. And this had be Bettany’s obsession, she was making waffles daily and insisted Lilly
wanted to have it. She was always making waffles; and she would heat up and finish the leftovers the
following day. And she would make it again and again. She had been eating waffles for the past three
months; and Lilly was finally back.
ke carried her and said, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to wash your hands!” Bettany snatched Lilly and
said, “You should go kill the chicken, kill two!” ke said, “Margerat can do it.” She replied, “No, you’re
faster.” ke gave in and went to kill chickens.
Lilly sat at the dining table, and she instantly finished a te of waffles. She licked her lips and felt like
she had not been eating for long. She did not feel hungry underground, but she was starving once she
was back up. Bettany was cooking in the kitchen, and she med herself for not preparing the food
earlier. Margaret and the other maids were also assisting her in the kitchen, and some food was ready
in just a few minutes. And some took longer than the others.
The children were gathered around Lilly, and stared at her eating. Lisa was not hungry, and she sat at
the side and looked at Lilly eating. “Slow down.” Josh filled up the bowls with food and gave it to Lilly
and Lisa. Drake quietly peeled the shrimps and gave them to Lilly and Lisa… Hannah kept on putting
food into Lilly’s bowl and said, “Eat this! And that! Hurry up and eat!” Zachary was ready with a napkin
at the side, and he would wipe away the grease on her mouth from time to time.
Anthony looked at them when he was back, everyone was serving Lilly as if she was a queen.
Everyone was worried that she starved, and they all wanted to stuff her with all the food. Anthony felt
like he might cry, and he said in a lowered voice, “Lilly…” She looked at him and dashed towards him.
“Uncle Anthony!” He looked at her; her clothes were torn, and she must be hungry so she did not
change and started to eat. His heart pained seeing her, and he hugged her tight. “Lilly…” He wanted to
ask a lot of questions, but he did not know what to say at the moment. Lilly hugged him tight and said,
“Uncle Anthony, I’m fine! Don’t be sad!” Anthony muttered, “Sorry…” It’s my fault for not protecting
you… It was snowing when Lilly was leaving home, and she told everyone that she would be back for
food. Bettany’s eyes reddened and she said, “Alright, let’s have your favourite food! Everyone is eating
it tonight! Margaret, bring the waffles out!” Before she went missing, she asked everyone to eat waffles
with her. And this had be Bettany’s obsession, she was making waffles daily and insisted Lilly
wanted to have it. She was always making waffles; and she would heat up and finish the leftovers the
following day. And she would make it again and again. She had been eating waffles for the past three
months; and Lilly was finally back.
Anthony and ke med themselves the most for the past three months; Lilly disappeared right in
front of them along with the avnche. They brought her out, but did not manage to bring her back.
God knew how much suffering they had been through! All Lilly’s uncles came back after Anthony was
back. Bryson was on leave; and Gilbert did not dare to conduct the operation, he was worried that he
might be distracted. He merely diagnosed the patients and did rounds in the wards. All of them were
worried that this was just a dream, they stared at Lilly in silence. They were worried like Bettany; they
were afraid that they might shatter this dream.
Gilbert squatted down and pulled Lilly into his arms, and he cried, “Lilly, I miss you so much!” Lilly
hugged him and said, “I miss you too Uncle Gilbert!” Jonas clenched his fists on the side and asked,
“Where have you been for the past three months…” Liam was totally silent. Bryson said softly, “At least
you’re back now…” He said and looked at the side so that no one would realise that he was tearing up.
Edward did not care about what others thought; he snatched Lilly and said, “My dear Lilly! I was sick! I
thought that you wouldn’t be back anymore.” Just like Jean, she was dead when we found her.
Everyone was frightened! They all felt like this was redemption. Edward cried, and Lilly patted his back
andforted him, saying, “Uncle Edward, don’t cry! I’m back with a really huge treasure!” He did not
care about the so-called treasure; all he cared about was Lilly. He cried for a long time with her in his
arms.
Anthony ond Bloke blomed themselves the most for the post three months; Lilly disoppeored right in
front of them olong with the ovolonche. They brought her out, but did not monoge to bring her bock.
God knew how much suffering they hod been through! All Lilly’s unclese bock ofter Anthony wos
bock. Bryson wos on leove; ond Gilbert did not dore to conduct the operotion, he wos worried thot he
might be distrocted. He merely diognosed the potients ond did rounds in the words. All of them were
worried thot this wos just o dreom, they stored ot Lilly in silence. They were worried like Bettony; they
were ofroid thot they might shotter this dreom.
Gilbert squotted down ond pulled Lilly into his orms, ond he cried, “Lilly, I miss you so much!” Lilly
hugged him ond soid, “I miss you too Uncle Gilbert!” Jonos clenched his fists on the side ond osked,
“Where hove you been for the post three months…” Liom wos totolly silent. Bryson soid softly, “At leost
you’re bock now…” He soid ond looked ot the side so thot no one would reolise thot he wos teoring up.

Edword did not core obout whot others thought; he snotched Lilly ond soid, “My deor Lilly! I wos sick! I
thought thot you wouldn’t be bock onymore.” Just like Jeon, she wos deod when we found her.
Everyone wos frightened! They oll felt like this wos redemption. Edword cried, ond Lilly potted his bock
ondforted him, soying, “Uncle Edword, don’t cry! I’m bock with o reolly huge treosure!” He did not
core obout the so-colled treosure; oll he cored obout wos Lilly. He cried for o long time with her in his
orms.
Bettany came out with a food tray and said, “How old are you? Aren’t you ashamed? Let Lilly go!”
Bettanty was finally back to normal. She looked tired, but at least she was lively again. Edward wiped
his tears and muttered to Lilly, “Luckily I’m near home, unlike your other uncles.” They could not get to
hug Lilly even when they were back because Lilly would be sleeping by then. Edward said, “Lilly, I’ll
work near your university when you grow up… and I’ll build my house next to yours when you’re
married. So, your husband must be good to you. If not, the moment that you two fight, I’ll reach there in
no time and p him.” Yes, this is a good idea; the furthest I’ll be is at the same time, so I can p the
bast*rd in less than half a day!
Hugh reprimanded, “Listen to yourself! What are you talking about?” Lilly was only four years old. Why
is he talking about her future husband now? Wait, she’s five years old now.
Hugh was saddened; he realized Lilly’s birthday was on the fifteenth of March, and it was the twenty-
seventh of March now. They wanted to bring her to the theme park to celebrate her five-year-old
birthday; none of them would have thought that they would miss her birthday celebration. She was
already five years old when she came home.
Suddenly, a green figure flew into Lilly’s arms. “Lilly, I miss you! I miss you like crazy! I have missed you
since day one! I miss you daily! I miss you even in my sleep! Everything I see reminds me of you!” Polly
continued to say, “I miss you the most! No one misses you like me! My heart is full of you! Nobody
misses you like I do!” Everyone was speechless; this bird was indeed naggy!
