Chapter 959 What Happened to Your Leg, Uncle Anthony?
After closing the door, Violet''s difort gradually turned into anger.
What did it mean that she was destroying someone''s family?
There was nothing wrong with pursuing the things and people she liked.
It wasn''t the ancient times anymore. As an independent woman of the new century, what was wrong
with bravely pursuing her true love?
Besides, Anthony was not married!
She heard that the Crawford family had initially nned a wedding for Anthony and Lisa.
But then, it abruptly came to a halt, and there was no further news about it.
Violet felt that it must be the olddy of the Crawford family who was dissatisfied with Lisa...
For so long, she hadn''t heard her mention having a daughter-inw or anything like that. Yet Lisa
shamelessly continued to live with the Crawford family.
She was relying on the fact that Anthony now liked her. When Anthony grew tired of her, she would
be even more proactive and straightforward...
At that time, she would let everyone know that she had someone she liked, and that was Anthony.
So, right now, she was waiting for love. She disliked how Yash acted like he knew everything and gave
her advice.
If she heard him bbering again, she would p him right in the face and see if he would still have
anything to say!

As the night passed, the sun, like a giant light bulb, illuminated the entire world. Birds chirped on the
branches, chattering about thetest avian news.
Polly had somehow flown onto an outer branch, engaged in a spirited debate with four other birds.
"Granny, good morning!" Lilly came downstairs, radiating energy and vitality.
With a rosyplexion and sparkling eyes, she was a picture of purity and rity.
Bettany smiled warmly. "You''re up early today, Lilly!"
Gilbert set aside his tablet and joined them in the dining room. Speaking gently, he said, "Are you
hungry, Lilly?"
Josh promptly pulled out a chair. "Lilly, sit here!"
Lilly obediently thanked him and greeted Gilbert before taking her seat. Like a little adult, she sighed,
"Hannah and Zachary are beingzy again!"
Drake removed fish bones for her, cing the deboned fish in a bowl in front of her. He calmly
remarked, "It''s Saturday today, so they can bezy."
Lilly stuck out her tongue, recalling Drake''s sternness. Whenever Hannah and Zachary refused to get
up, Drake would simply stand at the door, and they would obediently rise.
Drake was no less formidable than their grandmother at times—quite intimidating.
"Drake, I can do it myself!" Lilly grabbed a piece of fish and said, "I''m six years old now. If my
ssmates found out my big brother still picks out fish bones for me, they''d make fun of me."
Drake''s expression remained unchanged. "What do other people''s opinions have to do with us?"
Lilly fell silent.
Fine!
He picked for her, and she would pick for him.
The siblings helped each other remove fish bones, transferring them between their bowls.
Drake sighed, somewhat helpless. "Lilly..."
Lilly giggled. "Drake, I''m not a three-year-old baby anymore. When kids grow up, they be
independent."
"Heh..." Gilbert chuckled softly. "You''re still a child yourself."
A child who spoke of independence, Gilbert couldn''t help but find it amusing and perplexing.
Gilbert leisurely enjoyed his breakfast, listening to Lilly and her two brothers chatting away. The three
siblings were all smiles, happily chatting. Lilly and Josh were the most talkative, while Drake diligently
picked out fish bones.
Bettany asked, "Lilly, you transferred here just a few days ago. Are you adjusting well?"
Lilly nodded. "Of course, Granny. There''s nowhere I can''t adapt to."
Bettanyughed, but her heart ached after theughter subsided.
Ah, there''s nowhere she can''t adapt to. It meant she had been to too many ces and experienced too
much hardship.
It was heart-wrenching...
Suddenly, Lilly eximed, "Oh yeah, where''s Uncle Anthony?"
She had a feeling that something was off.
Usually, when she woke up, she would always see Anthony. Although he woke up earlier, he would
patiently wait until she got up, pat her head, and then head out to work contentedly.
But today, he didn''t pat her head and went to work straight away?
Bettany replied, "Your Uncle Anthony hasn''t gotten up yet."
Gilbert raised an eyebrow.
Drake looked surprised, and Josh widened his eyes.
How strange.
Bettany sighed, "You two suddenly remembered your father, huh?"
Josh concurred, "Yeah, that''s true."
Just then, a door upstairs creaked open.
Anthony''s bedroom door opened.
Lisa appeared, neatly dressed, with her hair styled in a high ponytail, brimming with energy as she
rushed downstairs.
"Lilly!"
"Josh!"
"Drake!"
She nted a kiss on Lilly''s cheek and then on Josh''s, but when she tried to kiss Drake, he raised his
hand in a slightly haughty manner, refusing her.
Lisa felt famished and looked at Bettany expectantly. "Mom... good morning!"
"Gilbert, good morning!"
Gilbert responded, and Bettany''s thoughts were stirred. She said, "Sit down and have breakfast
quickly."
Lisa was indeed starving, so she sat down and voraciously dug into her food, making eager munching
sounds.
Inparison to Lisa''s exuberance...
The three little heads, Gilbert, Bettany, and even Hugh, who was sitting on the couch watching the
news, all turned to look upstairs.
Anthony descended slowly, tidying his cuff buttons as he went.
He made a deliberate effort to appear calm, but as he took a step down, his knees slightly buckled. He
immediately straightened up, grabbing hold of the stair railing.
The adults fell silent.
The children wore perplexed expressions.
Lilly asked in confusion, "Uncle Anthony, what''s wrong? Are your legs weak? Are you okay?"
Anthony remained silent.
His ears turned a suspicious shade of red as if struck by a sudden burst of thunder or a ringing bell...
Gilbert was so shocked that he dropped the pumpkin from his spoon.
My, oh my... This, this, this...
ording to novels, after a certain incident, the female protagonist would stand tall, storm out, and
startining.
Well, now his sister-inw was perfectly fine, full of vitality and energy.
But his brother was clutching his waist, weak-kneed, and trembling...
The entire family was astounded.
Gilbert thought, his brother just can''t handle it!
Hugh, on the other hand, thought thisd is really weak, huh?
Bettany thought, the traditional medicinal recipe I stumbled upon, the Dragon-Tiger Tonic, seemed

useless, but it unexpectedly has its merits...
Lilly said, "Uncle Gilbert, Granny, what are you thinking? Let''s eat! Uncle Anthony,e down quickly.
Are you standing up there enjoying the view?"
Anthony remained silent.
