Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 556

Lilly's uncles were dumbfounded.

When Lilly uttered the words "I'm hungry," the old lady's eyes fluttered open!

For a brief moment, the uncles could not discern their own emotions, but their astonishment was palpable. Edward rushed off in a panic to find a doctor. Gilbert stepped examined Bettany, while Anthony hastily ordered someone to fetch some food, just in case.

Hugh grasped the old lady's other hand firmly, stopping her from trying to get up. "Don't move! Lie down!"

"Mom, please don't try to get up." Gilbert pressed down on Bettany's shoulders urgently. She took a deep breath and spoke in a slower tone, "You're injured and shouldn't exert yourself."

Bettany's gaze appeared clouded as she looked at her surroundings, realizing that she was in a hospital.

Suddenly, a sharp pain surged from her chest, causing her brows to furrow and making it difficult to catch her breath.

Enduring the pain, she took a deep breath, even breathing caused her discomfort.

Yet she did not forget that Lilly said she was hungry.

"There's so many people around... you should... prepare food for the children..." Bettany's voice was feeble. "Children are ignorant... adults should know better..."

Gilbert's eyes welled up with tears as he responded in a gentle tone, "Mom, don't worry. Lilly was just playing for too long, and we've already prepared food. I'll feed her right away."

He did not dare to mention that Lilly had also been in a coma for two days as they were afraid Bettany would be furious.

To his surprise, the old lady refused to let it slide. "You should… keep an eye out for them… even if they're playing…"

"And you... why are you grinning?" The old lady glanced at Hugh. "They forgot about it and you didn't remind them... You're so old...!"

Upon hearing her nagging, Hugh could not help but burst into laughter.

Although Lilly's master said that the old lady's life force had not been depleted, lying down and not getting up could also be considered as such.

He was truly afraid, afraid that he would never have the chance to hear his wife's scolding again...

"I was wrong, I was wrong." The old man held Bettany's hand tightly. "I'll be more careful next time."

Bettany let out a snort and spoke after regaining consciousness, but she now felt exhausted.

She also recollected what happened before she collapsed. A group of thieves had invaded the house, and she had fallen down after being shot in the heart.

Before losing consciousness, she heard Lilly's cries.

It felt as if Lilly was still crying beside her.

Bettany's heart ached once again, and she forcefully turned her wrist to hold onto Lilly's little hand. "Granny's fine... Lilly, don't worry.."

Her voice was weak, but she did her best to console Lilly.

Lilly sniffled, visibly torn. She should have been overjoyed when her Granny woke up, but for some reason, she could not help but cry.

"Get better soon, Granny." Lilly clung to Bettany's arm. "I want Granny to hug me."

Bettany desperately wanted to nod her head, but she could only manage a slight movement. She said, "Okay..."

Granny wants to hug you too.

Bettany's cloudy eyes welled up with tears. In truth, she was frightened. If she were to die, who would cook for her little girl in the future?

There were many men in the family, but they were all unreliable, and as for the only daughter-in-law... Well, one could not expect much from her culinary skills.

And as for Margaret... Though Margaret was good, she could not be compared to Lilly's biological grandmother.

Therefore, Bettany vowed to live her life to the fullest!

…

Blake breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Bettany had regained consciousness. He listened as Anthony explained that Lilly had exhausted herself and fainted while making the jade bracelets.

After ending the call, Blake could not help but touch the bracelet on his wrist.

He thought it was just an ordinary bracelet for protection, but little did he know that it had been infused with Lilly's energy.
