Anthony closed his computer and entered the room.
Just then, Lisa emerged wearing pajamas, her hair still damp and hanging from her shoulders.
He set the computer aside and picked up a hairdryer, saying, "Come here, let me blow-dry your hair."
Lisa stubbornly replied, "I can do it myself!"
She grabbed the hairdryer.
The contraption seemed somewhat amusing for a young child, but just right for her.
Anthony still wanted to insist, but he saw her snatch the hairdryer and dash off in a puff of smoke.
The hairdryer sound echoed from the bathroom.
Anthony stood at the doorway, leaning against the doorframe as he watched her.
He saw Lisa holding a hairdryer and blowing it wildly against her own face.
Then she turned to her hair, spinning it around like a spinning washing machine drum.
Her hair was instantly blown into a messy tangle, resembling a chicken coop. When it dried, it formed clumps of knots...
Lisa, with her frizzy hair, innocently looked at Anthony.
Blowing her hair was something she enjoyed, but she didn't like combing it.
Anthony, feeling helpless, took the comb and stood behind her, slowly helping her untangle it.
He never knew that Lisa couldn't comb her hair until one day when he saw her battling with a comb.
She ended up pulling chunks of hair out, which was terrifying.
Anthony had combed Lilly's hair before, and under the nagging guidance of Old Mrs. Crawford, he already knew that tangled hair should not be combed from the roots downward.
Instead, the ends should be combed first, then slowly worked your way up.
That way, it wouldn't hurt.
Lisa stood obediently as Anthony moved gently, and she closed her eyes, feeling very comfortable.
As she kept her eyes closed, she gradually grew sleepy and, surprisingly, fell asleep while standing!
What a strange sight!
Anthony sighed, set the comb down, and lifted her horizontally, carrying her towards the bedroom.
Lisa, with tired eyes, glanced at him and spoke softly with a sleepy tone, "I like it ❤"
Anthony replied, "Hmm?"
Lisa nuzzled her face against his chest and said, "I like being held."
So, after Anthony put her down, she refused to let go and held onto him as they both drifted into deep sleep.
It was no longer possible for her to live a normal life as a living person.
But it was also good, just staying by his side.
If one day he wanted to live a normal life and find a normal woman, a living woman...
Then she would peacefully and obediently depart.
He would definitely not make it difficult for him.
Lisa held Anthony in her arms, a satisfied grin on her lips, immersed in a dream.
Anthony remained silent, his gaze lowered as he watched her. After a while, he raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers.
"Goodnight."
It was nice like this.
Anthony enjoyed this companionship, feeling deep tranquility. Without realizing it, Lisa had already become a part of his family.
Being together, supporting each other, it was a pleasure like this.

At this moment, Blake was still soaking in the bathwater.
Lilly said she had something good for him, and with a wave of her hand, the bathtub instantly filled with water, surprising him secretly.
Upon hearing Lilly's frank account of her experience in the ice pond, he realized the extraordinary nature of the ice pond water.
Of course, he couldn't just soak in it like that!
Blake took a spoon and asked Margaret for a bucket, then divided it into a bucket.
When he took out a bucket, he calculated and realized the tub was already too full to accommodate his body volume.
Lilly filled it up too much!
