Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 99

On the way home, Lilly suddenly hugged Anthony and asked, "Uncle Anthony, are you ill?"

Anthony paused. "It's okay." He touched her little head. "I'm fine."

In the past few years, he was exhausted physically and mentally after his sister Jean disappeared. He had tried hard to collect all the information to find Jean, and he could not calm down to make decisions.

On the other side, Crawford Holdings was facing a critical period and needed him to develop it. So he could only work quietly at night. Gradually, he formed a staying-up habit until three or four in the morning.

Until now, he had a severe sleep disorder. He had health problems, and there were often headaches and dizziness.

Lilly asked solemnly, "Uncle Anthony, did you not sleep well at night?"

Anthony was startled. "How did you know it?"

Lilly shook her red bracelet. "Ms. Ugly said it. She would go for a walk at night, and sometimes she likes to lie on the window and watch you."

Facing her most trusted Uncle Anthony, Lilly did not hide anything.

Anthony was speechless. He glanced at the red bracelet on her wrist and imagined the scene. He was concentrating on his work while a female ghost lay on the window staring at him.

Anthony coughed to hide his fear. "Lilly, do you know any charm or spell?"

Lilly nodded. "Yes, what spell do you want?"

Anthony answered, "Exorcise evil spells."

Hearing that, Lilly looked at Anthony inquiringly. "Uncle Anthony, are you afraid of ghosts?"

Anthony did not change his expression, and his tone was calm. "Nope."

Lilly patted Anthony as if understanding him. "Uncle Anthony, it's okay! I understand!"

Anthony felt helpless for Lilly's naughtyness.

...

Back to the Crawford family, Bettany asked them to eat.

After the meal, Hugh looked serious and called Anthony to the study.

Lilly accompanied Bettany to chat while pinching her legs, then ran back to the room. Bettany smiled. She always had the illusion of being very relaxed after Lilly had massaged her legs as if she could stand up in the next moment.

Meanwhile, Lilly returned to the room and lay on the table to draw.

In the first painting, Bettany was sitting in a wheelchair. Lilly muttered, "Granny has bad legs."

In the second painting, Anthony was busy with work, and outside the window were the stars, the moon, and a female ghost. Lilly muttered again, "Uncle Anthony couldn't sleep."

Polly bounced back and forth on the table while shouting, "Caw! Caw!"

With a final high-pitched shout, Polly kicked Tortoise off the table as if bullying it could not speak.

Fortunately, the table was not high, and the floor was covered with carpets, so its shell did not break. Tortoise climbed a few steps and crouched at Lilly's feet.

Pablo closed the booklet with a frown. "This parrot is noisy."

Lilly asked, "Master, is there any way to help Uncle Anthony fall asleep?"

Pablo was lying by the window, then said slowly, "Of course, there must be a way. Listen, you can buy these magical trinkets..."

Pablo thought Lilly could not memorize, so he said eleven magical trinkets in one breath. Anyway, when Lilly went to buy them, he had to repeat those magical trinkets' names.

However, Lilly wrote and recounted it word for word as she wrote on the paper.

Pablo felt surprised. Does this kid have such a good memory? She can even write their names!

He hurriedly looked closely but only to see a mess of scribbles on the paper.

"What's this?" Pablo's mouth twitched.

Lilly pointed to the scribbles on the paper. "Master, you're so stupid! These are magical trinkets!"

Pablo's scalp tingled with shock.

"Are you sure this is a magical trinket?" Pablo pointed at a magic wand.

Magical trinkets had the word magic. Lilly probably thought those magical trinkets had the functions same as a magic wand.

Lilly nodded. "Yes, magical trinket!"

Pablo was speechless.

After Lilly finished drawing all the magical trinkets, she folded the paper and ran outside quickly.

"I'm going to find Uncle Anthony!"

Seeing Lilly leave, Polly flew off the floor and chased after her. Tortoise also followed Polly slowly.
