Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 367

Old Mrs. Crawford, Liam and Josh were gathered outside the operating theater, anxiously waiting for Zachary. To prevent Hannah from causing any trouble, Drake had volunteered to watch over her while she did her homework. As Lilly noticed the old lady waving at her, she quickly informed Old Mrs. Crawford before going over to the old lady.

The old lady smiled at Lilly. “What’s your name, child?” she asked.

Instead of replying to the old lady’s questions, Lilly had some questions of her own. “Who are you, Granny? What are you doing here? Do you have a family member going through surgery too?”

The old lady shook her head slowly. “My grandson is warded downstairs. I’m just taking a stroll to catch some fresh air,” she explained.

“Emmm…” Lilly made a sound, not entirely buying the old lady’s excuse.

“Why don’t you go to the garden downstairs instead? The air’s fresher there…” Josh chimed In.

The old lady glanced at Josh’s face and sighed internally. This family was truly blessed with luck and fortune. If only she could transfer the entire family’s luck over to her family instead… The old lady’s eyes flashed greedily. “I’m just used to strolling around here. Kids, do you want to visit my grandson with me? He’s just nearby downstairs and would love some company! There’s toys and candy in his room…” the old lady presumed toys and candy would do the trick for 80% of children. “My grandson recently started playing a new zombie game that’s all the rage nowadays. Have you heard of it? It’s really fun!” she added, certain that games would appeal to the remaining 20% of children out there.

Unfortunately, Lilly and Josh just looked at her suspiciously like she was a child kidnapper. “Granny, do you think we’re gullible three-year-olds?” Lilly raised an eyebrow.

“Granny, we’re not stupid! You’re being too obvious!” Josh added.

The old lady was stunned speechless. These two kids were as street smart as Zachary Crawford, unlike typical children their age. She had to think of a way to drug them too, just like she did on Zachary. She considered her options. Now was the best time for her to act since Zachary’s family members were focused on him inside the operating theater at the moment. She turned toward the Crawford adults, only to find Old Mrs. Crawford and Liam Crawford staring at her suspiciously.

Oh no… the old lady thought. She was miffed at the lost opportunity, but she could not take on the risk either. She stood up on her feet and sighed audibly. “I was just inviting you two since you looked around my grandson’s age, but if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do…” she said before turning around to leave.

Pablo sniggered. “Lilly, wait here. I’ll go and check out what that old lady is up to!”

Lilly nodded.

Inside the operating theater, Zachary was completely unconscious from the effects of the anesthesia administered. The attending nurse noticed the good luck charm tied around his wrist when she gave him a thorough check-up. Typically, surgeries were conducted in aseptic environments and non-sterilized external objects were not allowed to be worn. Usually, the nurses would temporarily remove such objects and place them in a safekeep box.

The good luck charm was tied very tightly around Zachary’s wrist. The nurse did not dare to simply cut a patient’s personal bracelet, since she had witnessed too many strange incidents in the operating theater. Once, a patient’s family demanded the hospital to compensate them for cutting and destroying the patient’s clothes during emergency surgery. The nurse spent some time loosening the bracelet before finally taking it off Zachary’s wrist and putting it aside.

In that instant, Zachary’s luck that had been shielded by the bracelet violently flowed out of his body and headed toward another direction. The wandering spirits around the theater began to surround Zachary now that they were able to approach him.

“What’s going on? Who’s this kid? The good luck charm on him was too strong just now…” one spirit asked.

“Well, well. Looks like we got ourselves a rich kid,” another spirit said. “Let me see if I can possess his body…”

“I want to possess him too!!” the spirits fought among themselves.
