Winona was bringing a bowl of noodle soup to Hannah's room. Hannah liked to sleep in, even on schooling days, she would sleep until ten o'clock.
Usually, Winona would serve breakfast in bed, soothe her grumpiness and prepare her for kindergarten.
Lilly greeted her but she replied to her greeting in an aloof manner. Suddenly, she looked down at the bowl of noodles that she was holding.
The noodle soup is boiling, what if I drop it on Lilly's face…
Winona was shocked by her own intrusive thought, she quickly calmed herself down and walked past Lilly with her typical standoffish face.
Lilly felt a sense of fear, "Master, what is that on Aunt Winona's face?!"
Pablo was floating beside Lilly, "It's the aura of death."
"What is the aura of death?" Lilly asked.
Pablo squinted his eyes and said, "Means…she killed a person."
Only a person who has killed someone and stayed beside them when they were dying would have this aura.
Lilly felt extremely concerned. She hugged her rabbit toy tightly and jogged back to the room to find Polly.
Pablo asked curiously, "Why are you bringing Polly?"
Polly was a talkative bird, he tended to babble random words and sing questionable songs when he was bored.
For instance, 'Baby Kitty, meow, meow, meow, meow'.
Can you imagine a parrot imitating a cat?
It's disastrous!
Lilly said, "I feel worried about leaving Polly at home!"
What if Aunt Winona kills him and makes him into a dish…
Polly instantly puffed up his feathers which was a sign of alertness.
"Monster! Concerned! Concerned!" Polly screamed loudly.
Lilly petted him to calm him down, "Let's go now!" She said.
She was wearing an overall jumpsuit while carrying a kitty bag. The little toddler with two braids then ran down the stairs with a rabbit toy in one hand and a parrot in another.
How could she be so cute?!
Mrs. Crawford who was always worried sick about Lilly urged repeatedly, "Please take care of Lilly! Especially you, Liam, don't let Lilly get out of your sight."
"I know, mom," said Liam impatiently.
"Let's go now !" said Edward hurriedly.
Liam's heart melted at the sight of his adorable niece.
Having such a cute little niece, of course, she should be taken out to show off!
At the same time, Winona was trying hard to wake Hannah up. However, Hannah refused to get up from bed. Winona stood up and looked down from the balcony.
She frowned when she saw Liam carrying Lilly into the car.
He never even carries his own daughter!
Lilly looked up and locked eyes with Winona. She jumped and hugged Liam's neck tightly.
Liam followed Lilly's gaze and raised his head. He glanced at Winona coldly and closed the door.
The car drove further and further away from the Crawford Mansion, Winona felt irritated and upset but she did not know why…
Liam was the highest-ranking architect in the National Infrastructure Development Company whereas Edward was the managing director. Similarly, Liam was in charge of external matters whereas Edward handled internal matters. They were both important people in the company.
Now both of them were working on the infrastructure development of the West City Development Zone which had been going on for six years.
Winona did not know why she felt a sense of anxiousness. It was said that the place where the accident happened had already been under development, and no trace nor evidence can be found anymore.
Unless… that person revived…impossible!
Winona calmed herself down and proceeded to wake Hannah up in a soft and melodious voice, "My little Princess Hannah, wake up…"
After finally sending Hannah to the kindergarten, Winona came back to Crawford Mansion. Little did she know that Bettany waiting for her in the living room on the first floor.
"Bettany…"
Bettany pointed at the sofa and signaled her to sit down, "Why does Hannah go to the kindergarten at this hour every day? Have you ever thought that she might interrupt the children's afternoon nap?" She said coldly.
"Of course not, Bettany. Hannah is a thoughtful girl…" Winona defended.
Bettany let out a sarcastic laugh, "Really? I have been too exhausted to intervene in your matters all these years, but now…"
…
After that, Winona left the room, with her face as pale as paper.
How could Bettany reprimand her?!
