Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 591

Cathy sat on the bed in a daze, unsure what had happened.

She only saw her brother cry.

She climbed to the bedside table and plucked out a tissue, climbed off the bed to Sean before getting on her tiptoes and holding out the tissue clumsily.

"Wipey tears, Sean! Don't cry, Sean!" Cathy seemed a little panicked.

Sean turned his face to the side, determined not to make a noise even as tears streamed down his face.

Cathy could only hug her brother's leg, pressing her cheek to his calf.

A long time later, Sean let go of Lilly at last. His voice was hoarse when he croaked out, "Thank you."

Lilly swung Cathy's hand, beaming at Sean. "Don't worry about it, Sean!"

She lifted Cathy's arm into the air, hauling Cathy into her arms in one move.

"Cathy, say thank you to Sean!"

Cathy didn't understand, but obediently chirped, "Thank you, Sean!"

Lilly said, “Say 'You've done well, Sean!”

Cathy said, “Say you've done well, Sean!”

Lilly frowned. "No, say it without the first word."

Cathy said, “It without the first word!”

Sean stifled a laugh, forcing his face to go back to neutral.

Lilly put the rebel ghost into the jar of spirits. She still had to heal Cathy's sickness and get rid of the last of her bad aura, and so Lilly came over everyday to play with Cathy in the next few days.

They were all in the park. Sean had his hands in his pockets, leaning against one of the exercise facilities as he watched Lilly and Cathy play a game of freeze.

"One, two, three… Freeze!"

Lilly and Cathy stopped moving at the same time, contorting into weird poses.

The two girls played together, competing on who could run to Sean first. Every round ended in Cathy charging into Sean's arms in a fit of giggles.

"You lost!" Lilly shouted, running after her from behind. "You're not playing fair!"

Cathy's laughter tinkled through the park like a peal of silver bells.

"Freeze!" She hugged her brother's leg, yelling as she raised her head.

Sean froze posed like a robot, setting Cathy into even harder laughter. Sean picked her up, hauling her into his arms with ease.

"Come on, let's go home," he said.

Cathy was having none of it. "No, more! I'm not going home."

Sean dragged her away by her armpits. "Nope, not letting you."

Cathy struggled in his grasp, and Sean tickled her from the back. "Gotcha gotcha!"

Cathy let out a peal of giggles. Lilly could not help but laugh along.

Not too far away.

Cathy's mother stood rooted to the spot, staring at her children.

She had never seen Sean and Cathy get along so well…

That wasn't right.

Cathy's mother's mind was racing, and she suddenly remembered seeing Sean carrying Cathy in her ward when she was just born, pacing about and cooing at her.

Then during her confinement, she would wake up after her naps to see Cathy lying on the couch with Sean next to her, playing with Cathy with a rattle in hand.

Then after that… Cathy's mother and father thought that Sean hated his sister because she got in his way, and that was why they did their best to get Cathy away from Sean…

Then whenever anything happened, they would avoid Sean as well.

When did this start happening?

Cathy's mother covered her mouth with her hand, tears streaming down her face.

It was all her fault.

She was a bad mother.

She had thought that she would be able to be a good mother to her kids, and fix their relationship.

Only for everything to be screwed up.

It was all her fault…

Cathy's mother could not stop crying, her chest aching. She wanted to sob out loud but was afraid of making a scene, and turned around to walk away at top speed.
