Chapter 522 My Lilly, Where Are You?
While ke carried Lilly, he thought of Bettany, who was worried and sick. He took his phone out to
make a call, yet it was running t. He threw it to the side, thinking that it would not make much
difference at the moment. He asked, "Are you seated properly, Lilly?" When she was gone for the
whole time, her safety chair was not moved. She fluently fastened the seatbelt and said, "Yes!" He then
asked, "Lisa, what about you?" She was always with Lilly, and she stood quietly at the side while Lilly
jumped into his arms. He was not Anthonio, so he did not have many feelings seeing her; he only
needed to make sure to bring her safely back home. Hearing his words, she raised her hand and said,
"Yes, I’m seated!" He adjusted the rear mirror and said, "We''ll be home in thirty minutes!" And he drove
as fast as he could.

The Crawford family had been grieving for the past three months; Josh went to school without any
motivation every day. Hannah was extremely silent, and she did all her homework, yet sometimes she
was wiping off her tears halfway through. Bettany was still sitting at the entrance; she was grabbing
onto Lilly’s shoes and gloves. She was not as energetic as before. Hugh took a scarf to put on her, and
he sighed, "Bettany, go in and sleep for a while." She was up early, and she had been sitting here the
whole day. He remembered that she was also like this when Jean went missing. "I don’t want to sleep; I
want to be here. Lilly will be sad if she doesn’t see me waiting for her." Hugh was pained looking at her;
he took a deep breath and replied, "But you have to be healthy; Lilly will me herself if she sees you
like this." She merely shook her head and remained silent. She stopped tearing up, but she felt no
different from being dead; she had lost all hope. "The sun is out; the snow has melted; my Lilly, why
aren’t you back home yet?" She muttered and touched Lilly’s shoes.
The sun was setting, and the day was getting darker. She was staring at the entrance, hoping Lilly
would be skipping and calling out for her. Yet another day wasing to an end, and Lilly was still not
home. "Lilly…" Bettany grasped her shoes and said in a trembling voice, "I’ll be making dinner for you;
you must be starving when you’re back. I’ll make all your favourite foods for you."
Margaret was worried about her; she said, "Mrs. Crawford, why don’t you rest? I’ll do it." She shook her
head and replied, "No... I must cook for her; she says that she loves my cooking." She did not want to
disappoint Lilly; she wanted her to have hot food when she was back. She was walking back into the
house when she heard someone say, "Granny..." She froze. She thought she heard Lilly’s voice. She
did not dare to turn back; she was worried that she had hallucinated. But she could tell from the
footsteps that it was Lilly. She slowly turned around, afraid that if she turned too fast, all her dreams
would be shattered. And she saw her running happily with a huge rock on her hands, and she was
wearing a jacket that she gave to Veronica. The jacket was in ruin, and Lilly was barefoot. Lilly threw
the rock to the side and ran into Bettany’s arms. Bettany almost could not catch her and fell; luckily,
Hugh supported her.
"Granny! Granny!" Lilly hugged her neck and pecked her cheek. "Granny, I’m back!" She was totally
stunned. "L.. Lilly?" She did not believe her eyes. Lilly’s cheeks were dirty, but she looked healthy. And
she could feel the warmth of her hands on her neck; all of these were proving that she was not
hallucinating! Her eyes reddened, and she cried out, "Lilly, my dear!" She held her tight, and she could
not hold back her tears. Lily was shocked, and she patted her back and said, "Granny, don’t cry!" Josh
and Hannah ran to them, and everyone followed right behind. Zachary bumped into Hannah, and
Drake sprinted and bypassed everyone. They all shouted, "Lilly!"
Lilly waved to them and said, "Everyone, I’m back!" Hannah was secretly wiping off her tears. Anthony
got ke’s call, and he was rushing back. Bettany cried until her legs were shaking, but she refused to
put Lilly down. Hugh could only hug her from behind and secretly wipe his tears. He muttered, "Finally,
you’re back." Bettany was still crying out loud, "Lilly, where have you been? I couldn’t find you! I
couldn’t!" I’m so worried... I’m so afraid that I can’t see you anymore. I’m so worried that any bad
thought that I had would manifest into reality... Bettany was crying until she could not speak; she was
so happy, yet she still felt uneasy.
Lilly helped to wipe off Bettany’s tears, whereas Margaret was handing her tissues at the side. Lilly was
wiping her face as if she were cleaning it. Bettany found it funny and burst intoughter. Lilly said,
"Granny, I went to a special dimension. There were a lot of gems there." She skipped all the bad parts.
Pablo looked at her and felt that she had grown up. Bettany said, "I don’t believe it; look at you; you’re
so slim now... and your clothes were torn." She must run into danger, but she doesn''t want me to worry
about her. Lilly is so sensible; why did she have to go through all of these? Bettany grabbed her hand
and stared at her. Lilly smiled and said, "I know you won’t believe me, so I brought you a gift!" She
pointed at the huge rock and said, "Look!" Bettany’s attention was caught by it. Lilly was carrying it just
now. W… Wait… Did she just carry a huge stone?
Bettany gasped and asked, "You... Did you carry it back all the way?" Lilly replied, "Of course not!"
Bettany was crying too hard, so she did not pay attention to what happened. "That’s great… Then how
did you bring it back?" She totally omitted the fact that Lilly carried it as she ran to her just now. Hugh
was confused. Lilly mumbled, "I’ll tell youter, Granny!" Her stomach growled at that moment, and she
said pitifully, "Granny, I’m starving." She hugged Bettany’s head and listed out all the food that she
missed. She really, really missed her family too.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
