Chapter 215 Inequality of Love


    Zachary went on a trip, and he came back a changed person. At dinner, he peeled shrimp for his sister


    and yed games with her after dinner.


    Initially, the boy was always immersed in games. Now, he never pulls out his phone, despite returning


    home for quite some time. He even acted like a spoiled brat and asked Liam for pocket money.


    Before this, Zachary never asked for money. He had always desperately drawn a line between himself


    and his family. Everyone understood that once Zachary started to ask for money from his parents, it


    meant he had genuinely changed.


    The Crawfords looked at each other.


    Hugh thought to himself. Has this rascal been cured? Is he cured after going out with Lilly for two days?


    Bettany praised her secretly. Lilly is such a capable girl.


    Edward cursed in his heart. Damn, I''m sure this kid is being possessed.


    Josh did the math in his mind. Let''s assume Zachary is being possessed; is he X or Y?


    …


    At night, Josh was fully armed.


    He had prepared his big iron basin, which could allegedly detect the whereabouts of the ghost. He also


    had his paranormal camera, which he called an invention of thest century. In his left hand was a


    stack of talismans, while a ritual de was in his right hand. He also hung three pounds of fresh garlic


    around his neck.


    Josh thought his equipment was too limited and that he needed to invent more in the future.


    Lilly heard a knock at the door. When she opened it, she saw Josh show up in her room in a funny


    manner. Lilly asked surprisingly, "Josh, what are you doing?"


    Joshmanded, "Shut up and quicklye with me!"


    He took Lilly''s hand and hurriedly headed to Zachary''s room.


    Zachary''s room door had been reinstalled. It was not locked. Josh opened the door and went into the


    room.


    Lilly stupidly reminded him, "Josh, it''s rude to enter someone''s room without knocking!"


    Josh made a gesture, "Shush!"


    We''re here to catch a ghost. Who the heck would give a damn about etiquette?


    The room was quiet, but the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Zachary was taking a


    shower.


    Josh was a bit nervous and stammered, "You…you, stay here and don''t move. I''ll drive him out!"


    Lilly was perplexed. What on earth is he trying to do? Zac is taking a shower; why should he be driven


    out of the bathroom?


    Josh stealthily crept up to the bathroom door. He pulled the bathroom door open out of the blue and


    tossed the garlic from his neck at Zachary. Josh shouted, "Take this! Take this blow! Take that! I''ll kill


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    you, destroy you, and get rid of you! Get away from Zac!"


    Zachary was stunned. Someone suddenly pulled open the door, and dozens of garlic heads were


    thrown at him. All this while he was naked. He narrowly missed the garlic, but a ritual de flew toward


    him with a whoosh.


    Zachary was unsure whether this ritual de had urately hit the target or not, but that sneak attack


    almost cut off his willy.


    "Darn, it!" Zachary erupted into a rage and asked, "Who is it? Who the hell sneaked up on me?"


    "ng!" Arge iron basin was hurled toward him and hit Zachary on the head.


    Zachary slipped and sat on the ground with his naked buttocks. He felt his head buzz, and he cursed,


    "Fu*k!"


    The bathroom was a mess. Zachary continued to curse and started to fight with Josh.


    Josh shouted, "Lilly! Help! This demon is on a rampage! Quick! Come and help me!"


    Lilly wanted to run into the bathroom, but Zachary''s furious voice rang out, "Lilly, don''te in here!"


    The little one was caught in a hard spot. Should I go in or not?


    A momentter, Zachary put on a bathrobe as he walked out of the bathroom. His nose was bruised,


    and his face was swollen. Josh was injured too; he had a ck eye. The two of them red at each


    other, one sitting on the edge of the bed and the other on the sofa.


    Lilly looked confused and asked, "What are you guys doing?"


    Zachary chastised, "This idiot ims I was possessed by a ghost! F*cker, do you think I will thank


    you?"


    The pain caused Josh to grimace. He was not willing to back down. He retorted, "Why the hell do you


    act out of character? Huh? You actually peeled shrimp for Lilly at dinner. You served her food and even


    yed with Barbie dolls with her after dinner. Is this something you would do?"


    For a brief moment, Zachary was speechless.


    Josh was irritated. He believed Zachary was possessed by a ghost. Out of concern for him, he wanted


    to assist him in casting out the evil spirit. In the end, his face was swollen.


    Lilly finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Josh thought Zac was possessed by a


    spirit. She was rendered speechless and stared at the morons.


    Lilly said, "Josh, you got it all wrong! Zac is not possessed by a ghost."


    Josh had a hard time believing this. He questioned, "How can he go from being a devil incarnate to a


    warm-hearted brother in two days. Didn''t he look like he had changed into a different person?"


    Zachary gritted his teeth and retorted, "Can''t I change for the better? Have you ever heard of the


    saying that it''s never toote to change?"


    Josh replied, "I don''t believe you."


    Zachary cursed, "Motherf*cker!"


    Lilly became the peacemaker and said, "Stop it! Stop arguing with each other!"


    She helplessly took out some medicine and clumsily rubbed it on Zachary, then put a bandage on Josh.


    Lilly spoke softly, "Zac, don''t be mad. Josh is worried about you. If it had been someone else, he might


    have fled."


    Zachary snorted.


    Lilly kept trying to reason with him, saying, "Who could you me when you were such a naughty boy


    in the past?"


    Zachary remained silent, snorted icily, andy on the bed with his eyes closed.


    I was called a naughty boy by everyone.


    "Have you ever seen a bad boy who supports himself?" Without further exnation, he reprimanded


    her.


    Lilly sat on the side and asked, "Why is that?"


    "Before my younger sister was born, Dad and Mom got along rtively well," Zachary said after a brief


    period of silence.


    Although their rtionship was not as close as other couples, at least they were together.


    "Everything changed after my sister was born."


    Zachary overheard his mother arguing with Granny about how she had pulled a ruse on his dad to get


    pregnant with him. He also overheard that his parents were going to divorce. They argued constantly.


    Nobody ever asked for his opinion. They acted as though he were not there. His dad stoppeding


    home, while his mom began obsessively adoring his younger sister.


    Lilly asked sympathetically, "What happened then?"


    Zachary snorted and continued, "The first time I saw my little sister, I hardly touched her face, and she


    started crying. Mom was mad, and she pped me. After that, whenever I approached my sister, Mom


    would kick me out of the room."


    It happened many times. When he was young, he tried to appease his sister after observing his mother


    favoring her, but every time she cried, his mother always put the me on him.


    Josh was taken aback. Do these kinds of things actually happen to Zac?


    Zachary said indifferently, "When my sister cried, my mother could hold her all night long without


    getting any sleep, but when I was ill, she didn''t even look at me. When my sister cried, my mother


    would get her whatever she wanted. My mother would tell me when I asked for something, "Why do


    you always ask for this and that, Don''t you think I''ve got enough trouble? Can''t you be sensible?””


    Zachary eventually realized he was unnecessary. He should not have made any requests.


    "One rainy night I was awakened, so I went to shut the window. The window was difficult to shut. I was


    small and not strong enough; I identally fell down when I tried to pull the window."


    Although Zachary''s room was on the second floor, the mansion''s first floor had high ceilings. It was


    quite dangerous for one to fall from the second to the first floor. Zachary fell outside the house with a


    thud. He struggled for a while to stand up. He cried and called for his mom, but no one heard him.


    It was pouring heavily. The servant''s quarters were far away from the main building. Hugh slept soundly


    once he was asleep, Bettany had left for the nursing home, Anthony often worked overtime; and Liam


    and Edward were rushing for work on the construction site and seldoming home.


    The other uncles, on the other hand, were either at work or staying at their own apartments.


    They hardly returned to the Crawford Mansion.


    "Iy in the pouring rain for a long time, aching all over. Eventually, I crawled back into the house. My


    sister probably woke up when I knocked on my mother''s door, and she immediately began to cry. Mom


    was enraged. She said it took her a long time to get to sleep, but I woke her up. She told me to get


    lost."


    Mom didn''t notice that I waspletely drenched. She didn''t ask what happened to me, despite him


    being in pain. I had no choice but to return to my room, take a shower, and clean myself. I even


    coughed up blood. I curled up on the bed, had a high fever, and became very ill. Nobody was aware of


    how helpless, alone, and terrified I felt that evening.


    Mom never showed any concern for me, not even during the two days I was ill. When the servant


    informed her that I was sick, she said, "Just ignore me; I am spoiled. How is it possible for me to be


    spoiled? My sister was the one being pampered.


    "I was lucky to be alive. I gradually got better, but I learned that I had to live on my own and earn my


    own money. It''s better to rely on myself than on anyone else."


    My parents were not happy, even after I became more sensible.


    Lilly felt her heart ache for Zachery.


    Zac got better, but his heart is sick. It never healed, right?


    Without saying a word, Lilly gave Zachary a bear hug.


    Zachary received a pat from her as if they were two helpless kids who were reliant on one another.


    Sheforted him, saying, "Zac, don''t be afraid. I once led a difficult life, but it got betterter. Uncle


    Anthony, Dad, Grandpa, Granny, and Granny simply didn''t know and didn''t intend to do it. Can you


    forgive them?"


    Zachary pursed his lips, and his eyes turned red.
