Zachary's eyes turned red quietly, and thought that he looked pathetic, so he pushed Lilly away.
Josh also remembered that when he was very young, Aunt Giuliana and granny once had a big fight.
It was probably around the time when Hannah was born, and it happened to be when Aunt Jean disappeared, and when granny was seriously ill and just got into a wheelchair.
He only remembered that Zachary locked the door, refused to eat, and granny brought the food upstairs, but Aunt Giuliana said that granny was spoiling Zachary.
Then she said that she could educate her own children, and a qualified mother-in-law should not interfere in the affairs of her daughter-in-law's family.
At that time, granny moved to a nursing home and never came back—Josh remembered that at first granny would come home after recuperation, but later she was paralyzed and unable to get up from bed.
"I knocked on your door, but you did not open the door and told me to leave," Josh frowned.
He really did not know that Zachary was injured when he fell from the second floor at that time. Aunt Giuliana said that he just had a cold, was just seeking attention, and deliberately lost his temper just to compete with sister Hannah.
She did not allow her family to intervene, saying that she had to be harsher to her son's upbringing but more gentle towards her daughter. She said a boy had to learn to be tough-hearted, and too loving of a mother would end up with a useless son...
Zachary rolled his eyes, full of impatience, "Why should I open the door? If you really cared about me, you would break the door and come in, and you didn't care!"
Josh opened his mouth.
At that time, Uncle Edward said that Zachary had a mother, and no matter what, he was born to Aunt Giuliana, and Aunt Giuliana would not ignore him.
Josh deeply felt that it made sense, after all, how much he longed to have a mother at that time, and thought it would be good to have a mother, who knew...
Josh pursed his lips, snorted, and said stubbornly, "You still have a mother, we don't."
Zachary, "I'd rather not have it."
Josh, "..."
He was speechless.
Lilly took the red potion and comforted Zachary while applying the medicine, "Okay, okay! Don't say any more!"
"Zac, if you don't want to forgive, then don't forgive! Only forgive when you think you could forgive, okay?"
Lilly's cute voice was full of inexplicable warmth, and she was long-winded like Bettany, "The sadness in the past is like a big monster. Now the monster has been defeated, and every day will be super good in the future."
"Father said that no matter how fine the sunlight is, you have to learn to collect it!"
Lilly was very optimistic, as she spoke, she carefully applied medicine on him.
Zachary remained silent, and let out a snort from his nostrils...
He glanced in the mirror inadvertently, and was dumbfounded.
"Is this how you applied medicine to me?"
The red lotion was all over his face, and his hair was still messed up because of the fight with Josh just now.
At a glance, he looked like a ghost!
Josh cussed, and jumped up from the sofa reflexively, "I guess you have been possessed?!"
Zachary, "..."
The two quarreled for a while again, although they were scolding each other with bad words, but their relationship seemed closer than before.
Before going to sleep, Lilly laid on the bed and poked Tortoise who was lying under the bed.
"Tortoise, why don't you need to take a test to be someone else's parents?"
"Hannah, Josh and Drake all had to take exams, so why did the parents not have to take the exam?"
People like Aunt Giuliana and her father in the Hatcher family were obviously parents who failed the exam.
Parents who failed the exam should not be allowed to have babies.
However, why did they not have to sit for an exam?
Tortoise laid on the ground with his head, limbs and tail stretched out.
No more parrots pecking on his head at night, he was very relaxed.
It just could not answer Lilly's question, even if it could answer, all it could say was that it did not know...
