Blake brought Lilly back to the Crawford Family.
This was the first time Bettany saw Lilly coming back crying. The little girl's face was red from crying, her eyes were swollen, she could not stop crying and was still hiccupping between sobs.
"What's wrong?!" Bettany hurried over and reached out to take Lilly in her arms.
Everyone in the Crawford family gathered around. It was the weekend, Lilly’s siblings had come back after finishing their classes. Hannah, upon hearing Lilly crying, abandoned her homework and ran over.
Everyone looked at Lilly with concern.
Josh frowned and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears. He was inwardly annoyed and asked in a deep voice, "Who let you down?"
Josh checked Lilly's hands and feet, examining her from top to bottom. "Did you get hurt? Was it that Master Dale? Did he hurt you?"
Hannah clenched her fists angrily. "I'll go beat him up!"
Gilbert, who had just returned from the night shift, was awakened by Lilly's crying in his sleep. He hurried over in his pajamas and asked, "Where did you get hurt?"
He carefully examined her but didn't see any injuries.
Hugh was heart ached, and he asked with a stern expression, "Blake, what's going on?"
Lilly was crying so sadly that she couldn't speak. Bettany shed tears along with her and comforted her, "Good girl, don't cry! Here is some candy!"
Edward was already thinking about how to beat someone up. Who was this Master Dale? If he could not beat him up alone, he would certainly bring a group of people with him.
The more anxious Liam was, the clumsier his words became. He just could not come up with a comforting sentence.
Seeing all the family members around her, Lilly thought of what her master had said to her. There is only one choice to be made between him and his family members
It was as if Lilly were a sailboat adrift in the vast ocean, not knowing which way to go home or which direction to follow.
She felt completely lost...
Upon hearing Lilly cry, Anthony abandoned the meeting halfway and hurried out, accompanied by Lisa.
As he walked into the house, Bettany was sitting on the couch, holding Lilly in her arms. Everyone was in a state of shock.
A shiver ran down Anthony's spine, "What happened?"
Blake remained silent and said softly, "Pablo is gone."
Anthony was shocked. "How did that happen?"
Blake shook his head.
Anthony glanced discreetly at Bettany and Hugh and said, "Mom, why don't you make something for Lilly to eat."
As he said that, he took Lilly from Bettany's arms.
Bettany stood up and repeated, "Yeah, Lilly must be hungry right now. Grandma will make something to eat..."
Bettany was feeling unsettled and walking unsteadily as Anthony glanced at her..
Hugh immediately stood up and went to help out Bettany.
In the kitchen, Bettany slowly sat down on a chair, feeling very worried, “There must have been a lot of danger involved in the process, otherwise Anthony wouldn't have sent us away.”
Hugh Replied, "Don't worry, they will handle their own matters..."
...
In the living room, Anthony held Lilly gently and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"
A blank expression appeared on Lilly's face, and tears fell as soon as the matter was brought up.
Her tightly gripped bottle caught Anthony's attention. It looked like a bulb, emitting a faint light.
"What is this...?"
Lilly choked up, "Here’s Master’s soul, and I put it inside here."
Anthony asked, "How did your master's soul disperse?"
