Chapter 587 Wow, What A Rebel


    Cathy herself was oblivious to everything happening around her, waving the spoon in her hands without


    a care in the world as she reached out to her brother. "Spicy, I want spicy!"

    Sean pushed her spoon away softly with his fork, annoyed. "You can''t even eat spicy food! You can''t


    take it."


    Cathy harrumphed, chewing on her spoon.


    The meal went on peacefully. Sean couldn''t even remember when thest time he had a meal without


    getting yelled at was.


    Cathy''s mother''s heart ached as well. It had been a long time since her son ate a meal quietly without


    throwing or mming his utensils around.


    After eating, the adults sat on the sofa chatting. It was just small talk, Cathy''s father mentioning about


    how hard it had been to get a house here and that there weren''t many good high schools in Spring City.


    Sean''s results in school were neither here nor there, and could only qualify for some mid-tier high


    schools.


    To get Sean into a better school, his parents had bit the bullet and bought a house within the top


    schooling district. The middle schools here weren''t that great, but Cathy was just going to have to bear


    through that…


    "We''ve done what we could as parents, but this kid hasn''t appreciated any of it. All he does when he


    Cathy''s mother sighed. "Cathy''s health isn''t the best, and she gets seizures and fevers all the time but


    there''s only so much I can do…"


    She was really so, so tired. She''d spent every day filled with dread and panic of Cathy getting sick.


    Cloud nodded with a sigh. "It sure isn''t easy."


    Cathy''s mother said, "Yeah…"


    Sean didn''t close his room door this time, and heard everything they were saying.


    His expression shed with displeasure. Had he begged them to buy the house?


    They''d made the decision on their own to buy a house here, but med the struggle of paying the


    mortgage on him.


    As if he had a part to y in all of this?


    So he was to me in the end? He was the one dragging them down?


    Sean flung his books onto the bed, hopping onto the floor barefoot and preparing to m the door shut.


    Only to find two little kids standing there.


    Lilly blocked the door, holding it open with a hand.


    She stuck her head in. "Sean, can wee in?"


    Cathy asked as well, "Sean, can Ie in?"


    Sean scoffed, turning and going back inside without another word.


    Lilly and Coco followed him inside, and Sean said, "Close the door!"


    Lilly said, "I was going to, you didn''t have to tell me!"


    Not only did she close the door— she locked it from the inside as well.


    Why was there something ominous about her doing that?


    "What do you want?" Sean asked. "You''re not even here to heal my sister, why are you staring at me


    like that?"


    Lilly said, "You''re the only person who can heal Cathy."


    Oh. Another person was trying to trick him.


    "If you''re here to try to get me to be nicer to my sister or to apologize to my parents, you can get out


    right now."


    Sean did not appreciate the gesture at all. He sat down on his study chair, propping his legs up on the


    table and flicked through a bookzily.


    Lilly took a closer look. He was reading a physics textbook.


    Sean did, indeed, work hard.


    He just never wanted his parents to know the real him at all.


    Why was that?


    Lilly had always had a good rtionship with her family, and could not understand why Sean felt that


    way about his parents.


    He clearly loved his parents and his sister, but refused to let them care for him and threw tantrums and


    argued with everyone all the time.


    His parents clearly loved him as well, but only knew to yell at him all the time.


    Cathy sat on Sean''s bed, ying with the toys in his room on her own. Lilly realized then that there


    were Cathy''s toys in Sean''s room as well.


    Lilly said, "Sean, you could''ve exined yourself when Aunt Melissa was yelling at you just now. Why


    didn''t you?"


    Sean scoffed. "Why should I exin myself?"


    Frustrated, he tossed his book away.


    Lilly said, "It was a misunderstanding, you could''ve exined yourself?"


    She did not get it. Why the constant misunderstandings? Why hurt each other by not understanding


    each other?


    Sean squinted all of a sudden, staring at Lilly and saying coldly, "Do you know Churchill?"


    There''s a church on a hill?


    My god, he almost forgot what he was going to say.


    "Churchill has a quote that goes like this: If someone uses you of eating his food, do not slit your


    stomach open to prove yourself. Instead, dig his eyes out and swallow them so he can have a look


    after."


    Sean leered at Lilly. "That''s my life''s motto!"


    He wanted to scare Lilly to tears, smirking coldly at her. "So don''t try to get me to e to my senses''.


    Get on my bad side, and I''ll dig your eyes out!"


    He stared at a dazed Lilly, thinking that she was scared as he let out a chuckle.


    The next second, Lilly''s expression turned into one of confusion. "Why do you have to dig their eyes


    out?"


    Sean said coldly, "Why else? Should I slit my stomach open to prove myself?"


    Lilly, “You can prove it when you poop.”


    Sean had not expected Lilly to say that. He promptly choked.


    Lilly continued. "You can even go as far as putting their heads in your poop to get a closer look. Why


    choose violence when you can settle things peacefully?"


    Slitting open stomachs and digging eyes out… this Churchill guy was terrifying.


    She was suggesting putting someone''s head in poop! What was peaceful about that?


    Cathy lifted her head, suddenly excited. "Put their heads in poop! Put their heads in poop!"


    Pablo did not know what to say. "Put their heads in poop?" Weren''t they here to catch a ghost?


    Why were they on the subject of poop?


    Lilly said, "But because they''re your parents, you shouldn''t be putting their heads in poop… Sean, Aunt


    Melissa lectured you because she wanted you to do better. You can just prove yourself."


    Sean leaned back with his hands behind his head, his feet on the table. "Why is that their business? I''ll


    do whatever I want."


    He was an independent person, not a pawn free to be controlled by his parents.


    Telling him all day and night how hard it was to buy a house in the top school district in hopes of guilt-


    tripping him into being grateful and doing well in school.


    He had his own thoughts, and was not going to be controlled by others!


    Pablo chuckled to himself. "Wow, what a rebel."


    His parents were left in the dark, all because he stubbornly refused to tell them anything.


    To put it exactly, he was stubborn because he felt like other people could not understand him.


    On another hand, there were so many introverts who found it hard to express what they truly wanted


    out of embarrassment and shame, who instead turned to hiding themself behind a mask.


    Lilly shook her head. "Sean, you''re far too rebellious!"


    Sean chuckled. "That''s right, I am rebellious!"


    "If the King of Hell wants me to die by noon, I''ll die at midnight just because I can! That''s how much of


    a rebel I am! What about it?"


    Whoa, you really are a rebel. Lilly, a.k.a. the King of Hell thought to herself.
