Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 555

Lilly held onto Bettany's hand tightly, refusing to leave her side until her grandmother woke up. She drew a circle around her bed so that no ghosts or monsters could get close to Bettany.

She was busy making protective charms, charms that repel malignant spirits, and amulets every day.

She made sure that everyone she loved had their pockets and clothes filled with protective charms. However, she regretted not making more amulets for her grandmother.

Feeling that her amulets were not strong enough, Lilly decided to use the piece of jade she had brought back to the Crawford Mansion. She carefully cut it into large-sized pieces and ground the beads to create strings of jade beads for protection.

The creation of spiritual tools is distinct from amulets, belonging to a separate realm of spiritual objects.

The scarcity of spiritual tools stemmed from the demanding requirements of their materials. For instance, crafting a spiritual tool might need extremely cold iron that has been frozen for thousands of years. This extraordinary iron possessed a chilling essence, allowing it to maintain its coldness even in the hottest of environments.

In certain cases, spiritual tools may require the roots of a thousand-year-old tree or the skin of a snake that lived for thousands of years.

The jade she had was of the purest quality. It could only be made into the lowest level of protection, but Lilly knew it was the best she could work with.

She gave everyone the jade bracelets, including Anthony. He looked at the pure purple jade bead on his wrist and asked, "What's this?"

Lilly, who was looking down, focused on making more jade beads, and replied, "It's a spiritual tool to keep you safe. Uncle Anthony, please take care of it, and don't take it off even when you bathe or sleep."

Anthony nodded solemnly, "Alright."

However, he noticed Lilly's trembling fingertips and frowned, "Lilly, are you okay?"

Lilly looked up, her lips trembling as she tried to force a smile. She responded, "Uncle Anthony, Lilly is fine. I just didn't sleep well."

Anthony felt that this was not the case, so he firmly gripped her hand from grinding the jade beads. Only then did he notice that there were multiple talismans wrapped around her hands.

One of the talismans fell off, revealing Lilly's bloody fingers.

It turned out that when Lilly rubbed those jade beads, not only did she grind her fingers to pieces, but she also exhausted herself mentally because the making of spiritual tools required her blood so it would be effective.

She was afraid of her father and uncles knowing about this and hid her bloody fingers using talismans.

Feeling overwhelmed, Anthony removed the talisman.

Anthony's heart raced, and he hastily grabbed her hand, pleading, "Lilly, please stop!"

Lilly's complexion was pale, and it was only after the talisman fell off that Anthony and the others noticed her bloodless lips.

Struggling to muster a reassuring smile, she whispered, "I'm alright, don't worry..."

Before losing consciousness, she repeatedly whispered to Anthony, "Lilly drew circles around Granny's room..."

"I also drew a circle around the Crawford Mansion..."

"Around Uncle Anthony's office, the car..."

"Please don't remove the bracelet..."

As everyone gazed at Lilly, who was incredibly exhausted and tears welled up in their eyes.

Their precious little one...

They wanted nothing more than to shield her from harm.

But they felt utterly helpless.
