Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 401

"It doesn't work that way." Grace looked away embarrassed. "I tried tearing it off by force. That's why there's blood on my chest."

Lilly looked at the talisman, lost in her thoughts. She didn't want to hurt Grace but letting the talisman stay would pose a greater threat to Grace.

"Do you need my help, Lilly?" Blake tried to support his kid.

"You won't be able to help, Dad."

Pablo decided to speak up. "This talisman latches onto her flesh. It's very difficult to remove it. First, you have to..."

Lilly grabbed one corner of the talisman and yanked it.

"I got it!" exclaimed Lilly. The bloodied talisman wriggled in her hands. "Then I seal it. Is that right, Master Pablo?"

Pablo was too stunned to speak.

Lilly turned to Blake. "Dad, quick! Give me a cup."

Blake found a cup from a nearby table and trapped the talisman in it. Lilly then covered the brim with her hands. Pablo screamed. He incanted a spell and placed a magical seal on the cup.

"Lilly!" Pablo bellowed. "Do not handle dangerous talismans with your bare hands! It's dangerous."

"Sorry, Master Pablo," said Lilly in an apologetic tone. Pablo rolled his eyes. He didn't know if Lilly was brave or reckless.

"Anyway," Lilly turned to Grace. "Please continue sobbing. My master said the more you cried, the better your fate would be. Go on now. Cry."

When the paramedics arrived, they were greeted with an eerie scene. A girl was trying to force another girl to cry. It was puzzling, to say the least. Despite everyone's best efforts to persuade Grace to go to a hospital, Grace wouldn't relent. The paramedics only patched Grace up and the Crawfords decided to let Grace stay with them for the time being.

...

Bettany was making her afternoon tea. She grumbled to Hugh, "It's all thanks to Blake that a fine lady like Lilly becomes so belligerent now."

"It's not a bad thing. At least she can fend for herself."
