Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1522

Lilly cried herself to sleep.

She didn't know if she would return to South City when she woke up. Still, none of that mattered. Her grandmother's crystal clear face was etched in her mind. The result she gained after that trip only firmed her resolve.

She could remember it all. Her grandmother's scent and the tone of her voice were all as clear as day.

If she was given another chance, she would still make that perilous trip from South City. That challenging trip was more than worth it as she could remember her way home and the faces of her family.

So, she ate a bowl of cereal and fell into a peaceful sleep.

This time, she wasn't awakened by that faint, elusive voice. Instead, she had a great rest and woke up on time.

She opened her eyes as she felt the warmth of the room. A sudden joy rose in her heart as she thought, Have I succeeded?

Lilly happily got out of bed and ran out barefoot. She was eager to see her grandma, Uncle Anthony, and her siblings.

Alas, she was greeted with an unfamiliar living room when she opened the door. A tall figure was cooking in the kitchen.

The food's aroma hit Lilly's nose like a sledgehammer. She couldn't understand what was happening.

Blake heard the pitter-patter of her feet running and glanced over.

"You're awake?" he said while cooking. "You're truly as stubborn as a mule… You've sneaked out of the police station just to board a train so many times that the officers were placing bets toward the end. Frankly, it's quite embarrassing that so many of them failed to keep an eye on a slip of a girl like you."

Lilly was stunned. What was he saying?

"Did I... return from the Crawford Mansion?" Lilly asked tentatively.

Blake served the fried egg and gave her a bowl of rice.

"Hungry? Eat!"

When he saw that she wouldn't back down until she received an answer, he said in exasperation, "Your head is still in the clouds? You've never been to the Crawford Mansion. I told you to wait for me this afternoon. Yet, what did you do? You ran away as soon as I turned my back on you. Luckily, the officers patrolling the station caught you."

Lilly only felt as though the reality he described made no sense!

She was sure she had been to the Crawford Mansion. Even if the warmth she felt when she saw her grandmother was illusory, the hunger and cold she felt crossing half of Dudroinia were very real.

It seemed that illusion had been given a good whack, causing a forced reset!

This was the first time she had experienced a reversal of time since she entered the dream.

She had been losing time whenever she tweaked something. Each subtle change led to her falling into a deep sleep again. Whenever she woke up, it was as if all her experiences were nothing but a dream.

Nonetheless, the clock had been turned back!

"Is he running out of ideas?" Lilly smirked as her eyes gleamed with cunning.

She didn't feel resentful. On the contrary, it seemed like the 'director' had no choice but to revise the plot after finding several inconsistencies.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Lilly cheerfully picked up her bowl and started eating.

Blake unconsciously curled his lips into a smile, murmuring, "You're quite the bold one, aren't you?"

It didn't feel like such a bad idea to have a little girl staying under his wing.

Suddenly, Lilly placed her bowl down.

It didn't matter how much she wailed and raged against him, the dad in this ridiculous dream was like an NPC. He acted as if he was utterly unaffected by her pleas.

Nevertheless, she could feel his changes. He was acting and reacting like a real person.

Plus, he had brought her home!
