Chapter 367 Save Zachary


    Old Mrs. Crawford, Liam and Josh were gathered outside the operating theater, anxiously waiting for


    Zachary. To prevent Hannah from causing any trouble, Drake had volunteered to watch over her while


    she did her homework. As Lilly noticed the olddy waving at her, she quickly informed Old Mrs.


    Crawford before going over to the olddy.


    The olddy smiled at Lilly. “What’s your name, child?” she asked.


    Instead of replying to the olddy’s questions, Lilly had some questions of her own. “Who are you,


    Granny? What are you doing here? Do you have a family member going through surgery too?”


    The olddy shook her head slowly. “My grandson is warded downstairs. I’m just taking a stroll to catch


    some fresh air,” she exined.


    “Emmm…” Lilly made a sound, not entirely buying the olddy’s excuse.


    “Why don’t you go to the garden downstairs instead? The air’s fresher there…” Josh chimed In.


    The olddy nced at Josh’s face and sighed internally. This family was truly blessed with luck and


    fortune. If only she could transfer the entire family’s luck over to her family instead… The olddy’s


    eyes shed greedily. “I’m just used to strolling around here. Kids, do you want to visit my grandson


    with me? He’s just nearby downstairs and would love somepany! There’s toys and candy in his


    room…” the olddy presumed toys and candy would do the trick for 80% of children. “My grandson


    recently started ying a new zombie game that’s all the rage nowadays. Have you heard of it? It’s


    really fun!” she added, certain that games would appeal to the remaining 20% of children out there.


    Unfortunately, Lilly and Josh just looked at her suspiciously like she was a child kidnapper. “Granny, do


    you think we’re gullible three-year-olds?” Lilly raised an eyebrow.


    “Granny, we’re not stupid! You’re being too obvious!” Josh added.


    The olddy was stunned speechless. These two kids were as street smart as Zachary Crawford,


    unlike typical children their age. She had to think of a way to drug them too, just like she did on


    Zachary. She considered her options. Now was the best time for her to act since Zachary’s family


    members were focused on him inside the operating theater at the moment. She turned toward the


    Crawford adults, only to find Old Mrs. Crawford and Liam Crawford staring at her suspiciously.


    Oh no… the olddy thought. She was miffed at the lost opportunity, but she could not take on the risk


    either. She stood up on her feet and sighed audibly. “I was just inviting you two since you looked


    around my grandson’s age, but if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do…” she said before


    turning around to leave.


    Pablo sniggered. “Lilly, wait here. I’ll go and check out what that olddy is up to!”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Lilly nodded.

    Inside the operating theater, Zachary waspletely unconscious from the effects of the anesthesia


    administered. The attending nurse noticed the good luck charm tied around his wrist when she gave


    him a thorough check-up. Typically, surgeries were conducted in aseptic environments and non-


    sterilized external objects were not allowed to be worn. Usually, the nurses would temporarily remove


    such objects and ce them in a safekeep box.


    The good luck charm was tied very tightly around Zachary’s wrist. The nurse did not dare to simply cut


    a patient’s personal bracelet, since she had witnessed too many strange incidents in the operating


    theater. Once, a patient’s family demanded the hospital topensate them for cutting and destroying


    the patient’s clothes during emergency surgery. The nurse spent some time loosening the bracelet


    before finally taking it off Zachary’s wrist and putting it aside.


    In that instant, Zachary’s luck that had been shielded by the bracelet violently flowed out of his body


    and headed toward another direction. The wandering spirits around the theater began to surround


    Zachary now that they were able to approach him.


    “What’s going on? Who’s this kid? The good luck charm on him was too strong just now…” one spirit


    asked.


    “Well, well. Looks like we got ourselves a rich kid,” another spirit said. “Let me see if I can possess his


    body…”


    “I want to possess him too!!” the spirits fought among themselves.


    Zachary was in deep sleep and could not react to anything, but he could hear themotion and


    voices around him. He felt a chill around his body, yet he was unable to do anything but lie still.


    The lead surgeon was a studious, meticulous man. The surgery had been proceeding well until the


    critical moments, when they reached the blood clot in Zachary’s brain. All of a sudden, the blood clot


    exploded unexpectedly, and a gush of blood bled through. The operating theater descended into panic!


    The surgeon himself was frantic too, in disbelief that he might end up bearing the 5% failure rate for


    this surgery. Everything had been going so smoothly, so why…? the surgeon’s forehead beaded with


    cold sweat as he wondered what went wrong.


    Nobody else in the operating theater could see the spirits swarming all over Zachary.


    “Oh no, the kid won’t make it! Help him! Pull him out…!”


    “If you pull him out him now, you’ll only pull half his soul out! He’ll end up being a brainless dummy!”


    “Hey, kiddo! Come and y with us!”


    Zachary’s limbs were turning cold, and his blood pressure was dropping at an rming rate. He was


    still unconscious, but he could feel a heaviness pressing on him to the point where he could not


    breathe. It was an unbearable feeling…

    Lilly suddenly frowned as she continued to wait outside the operating theater. She did not know what


    was going on inside, but she noticed a few spirits floating inside, almost like they were having a party.


    “Come on, the kid is almost dead! It’s time to possess him!”


    “Hee hee hee…” the spirits giggled among themselves.


    Lilly swelled with panic. Kid? Were they talking about Zac? She took out the jar of souls and shook it


    vigorously. “Hey, you guys! Come out!” she ordered.


    The ghosts trapped inside the jar were getting a headache from being shaken. “What’s going on?” they


    asked.


    Lilly pointing at the operating theater anxiously and told them about the situation.


    “Oh? Leave it to me!” the unlucky ghost said first. “A group of wild wandering spirits are no match


    against me!” The unlucky ghost zoomed in to the operating theater immediately.


    “G*d d*mn it!” the harem spirit yelled. “Stop right there, unlucky! You’re going to end up knocking the


    surgeon over!”


    The weakling spirit trailed along the other two spirits. Unlucky spirit zoomed into the theater so fast that


    he almost knocked the knife out of the lead surgeon’s hand. The surgeon had been careful all this time


    and was just about to stop the bleeding when his hand slipped all of a sudden and blood began to


    spout from the wound again.


    The doctor was bbergasted at his rookie mistake, while the spirits all looked on in dismay. While the


    weakling spirit pulled the unlucky spirit out of the operating theater, the harem spirit confronted the


    other wandering spirits around Zachary. “What do you think you’re doing? Get lost! How dare you touch


    what’s mine?!” she shrieked angrily, scaring the other spirits away.


    Zachary felt the heaviness lifted off his chest and his breathing slowly eased. The spirits were just


    about to breathe a sigh of relief when the lead surgeon said in a grave tone. “Prepare for emergency


    resuscitation!”


    Re… resuscitation?! The spirits’ stood there in shock. When they looked at Zachary once again, his


    face and lips had gonepletely pale…
