Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1270

Lilly felt her heart ache.

She held back her tears and sobbed, "Mm. Let me help you clean up."

Cloud breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Well, this is my first time returning in uniform! You need to make sure I look my best, alright?"

Lilly nodded. "Mm."

She smoothed and cleaned the tattered clothes. Her hands went over a hole in his shirt, and it became as good as new.

Her fingers rubbed Cloud's face, erasing the wounds and scabs.

His fingers were charred. Lilly held his hands, restoring them to their original form.

Holding back her tears and forcing a smile, Lilly carefully groomed Cloud to look the best he could be.

"You look so handsome in that uniform, Uncle Cloud!" Lilly said.

Cloud looked at himself, then touched his face. He said proudly, "I'm the pride of the country! I'd better be handsome, right?"

Lilly broke out into a smile, though she could not control her tears.

She had been true to her feelings, laughing when she was happy and crying when she was sad. This was the first time she had to smile when she was sad.

Pablo was standing behind them, watching silently.

Lilly broke down when she saw him. "Master, I can't do this. This is too hard for me… I can't… I can't control my tears… Boo hoo… Please help me, Master…"

Lilly crouched on the ground and curled up in agony.

Cloud felt a twinge in his nose. "Lilly…"

Pablo felt very sorry for Lilly. He hugged her gently and shielded her from the falling snowflakes.

"Good girl," Pablo said while patting her back and covering her with golden light. "It'll be okay. A separation now ensures a better reunion."

Lilly's shoulders were shaking. Her cries could be heard from under Pablo's arm.

Pablo patiently covered her with golden light. "It's okay… It's okay…"

Bettany came out of the house. "Lilly? Are you there, Lilly?"

Lilly stood up. She still had streaks of tears on her cheeks, and her eyes were puffy. "What should I do?" she asked.

Cloud was also worried. "We should hide!"

Pablo flicked the loose sleeves of his robe. They swept past Lilly's face, and it returned to normal.

"You're okay now," Pablo said. "You two should go in. You don't want Granny to worry, do you?"

Lilly felt slightly better. Her master's comforting words calmed her down.

Cloud was not sure. "She won't be able to tell, right?"
