Anthony''s fingers were stained with blood as he desperately tried to dig through the snow, seemingly
oblivious to the pain. However, the ck hole appeared and disappeared, thwarting his attempts to find
Lisa through digging.

"Uncle Anthony!" Lilly found him lying in the snow, his hands covered in blood. She asked, "What
happened?" Then, she anxiously helped him up.
"Lilly, Aunt Lisa... hurry and save her!" Anthony clung to Lilly''s arm as if it were his lifeline. "She fell,
and I don''t know where she went..." Panic filled his eyes.
Time had left some marks on his face, but he still looked handsome andposed. However, his
that she would reassure him that Lisa woulde back. However, destiny had other ns, and
disappointment awaited him.
Lilly''s lips moved slightly, and she sighed softly. "Uncle Anthony, you have to let go."
She had mentioned before that Lisa couldn''t stay in the Human Realm, and Lisa was bound to leave.
After all, Lisa had stayed long enough over the years, so leaving now was a normal thing. Still, Lilly just
didn''t expect it to happen at that time of the year.
Anthony sat on the cold ground, unable to ept the harsh reality. He insisted, "No, she''lle back.
She promised to try and stay. She''s been to so many ces over the years, never resting, solving
countless problems for others..."
He knew Lisa had never allowed herself to rest. Despite being the wife of the CEO of Crawford
Holdings, she hadn''t fully enjoyed her life. She couldn''t even stay with her newborn child and had to
endure the pain of separation. She had hoped to be in the same world, at least able to return home for
Christmas and holidays. How could it end like this?
He gazed nkly at the spot where his wife had disappeared. Was this a permanent farewell, without
any preparation, without a chance to say goodbye?
Lilly, with a heavy heart, urged, "Uncle Anthony, let''s go back. Grandma is still waiting for you."
Anthony remained seated in the cold snow, feeling a chill to his bones. He mumbled, Go back? He had
once thought he could live like this forever and be content. But now, returning to a home without Lisa,
something would always be missing.
Lilly assisted him to his feet and whispered, "Drake, Josh, and Matthan still need you... Uncle Anthony,
pull yourself together."
He looked at her hopefully. "Lilly, will I see her again?" He suddenly looked delighted and asked, "When
I''m old and pass away, will I reunite with her?"
Lilly struggled to express the truth. If she had never ventured into the Nether and remained unaware
that the descendants of the witch n now resided there, she might have said, "Yes, you will meet her."
However, armed with the knowledge that Lisa, being neither human nor ghost, existed in a state
between life and death, Lilly understood Lisa must have beenpelled to go to the Nether.
The deceased would go to theherworld, and the living would remain in the mortal world. Those who
were neither dead nor alive—the descendants of the witch n—naturally went to the Nether.
Lilly didn''t understand what the sudden appearance of the ck hole meant or if it was connected to
the crack in the back door of the Nether. If so, she knew Lisa might not be able to pass safely.
At that moment, Lilly found herself unable to take any action. She was uncertain whether the
descendants of the witch n had any karmic consequences due to her past intervention. Now, Lisa
had disappeared without warning.
The dilemma gued Lilly with questions. If she intervened again, would Lisa vanish forever, losing
both body and soul? Throughout her journey, Lilly had contemted this, repeatedly calcting that if
she refrained from intervening, Lisa might have a chance of survival. Yet, if she intervened, Lisa would
undoubtedly die.
Lilly sensed a logical inconsistency in the situation, though she couldn''t quite put her finger on it.
Hence, she decided to seek guidance from ke and Pablo upon her return.
While assisting Uncle Anthony, she couldn''t dwell on these thoughts. She immediately apanied
him back to the Crawford Mansion.
Tears welled up in Anthony''s eyes, and he silently pleaded, Lilly, please, tell me aforting lie... even
if it''s not true, deceive me, okay?
On a quiet, secluded road with no surveince cameras, Jonas sat in the driver''s seat, texting Quinnie.
"I''ll be back soon, waiting for my brother..."
Unaware of Lilly''s return, as soon as he arrived at the Crawford Mansion, he discovered that she had
gone out again to pick up Anthony. Consequently, Jonas took on Gilbert''s responsibility and drove out
to pick them up.
Everyone in the Crawford family was familiar with that road, and Jonas had been waiting for ten
minutes. As the car sank slightly, he looked up and saw Anthony and Lilly returning. "Back already?" he
asked, feeling a sense of relief. However, before he could say anything, he noticed that Anthony''s
expression was off. "Anthony?" he inquired, concerned.
Anthony appeared disoriented, with stubble on his chin and an air ofplete dejection about him. In a
deep voice, he uttered, "Let''s go home."
Jonas harbored a foreboding feeling, wanting to ask about Lisa, but he didn''t dare to pry.
Then, Lilly shook her head, signaling him not to press for information. He could only start the car and
slowly drive back to the Crawford Mansion.
At that moment, the Crawford Mansion was bustling with activity. Matthan and Riley were seated on the
carpet, exchanging iprehensible baby babble.
Suddenly, Matthan turned his head and stared nkly at the door.
Bettany nced over and asked, "What''s wrong?"
Sensing that something was wrong, she wondered if Lilly had returned. Bettany knew that if Lilly were
back, he would have been excited, rushing out to greet her instead of wearing the perplexed
expression he currently had.
