Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264 Lilly Is Back

“Uncle Anthony!” Lilly was pleasantly surprised. “Why are you here, Uncle Anthony?”

Anthony shot a glance at Ivan. “He contacted me.”

Ivan knew he couldn’t handle the situation alone, so he contacted Anthony as soon as he found her.

Anthony didn’t know why Lilly didn’t want to “sleep” in the Crawford family residence, but he didn’t ask any questions.

He didn’t want Bettany to worry, so he told her that he was going to his office every day, Instead, he went to the hovel to see if Lilly was awake. Even though Ivan said he would call him if she woke up, he wanted to see her for himself.

“Thank you, Ivan!” Lilly said. “I’ll come and visit you soon!”

Ivan nodded. “Mm!”

Anthony was speechless. Can’t you at least hesitate a little?

“Bye bye then!” Lilly stuck her head out of the window and waved at Ivan.

“Bye!” Ivan said.

Anthony nodded at him as a gesture of thanks, and he drove the car away.

The snowfall was getting heavier. Ivan stood there and watched the car leave. His shoulders. were already dusted white with snow.

“Young Master, you should get in the car,” the driver said.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Mm,” Ivan replied, and they left.

Lilly was anxious to go home. Soon, the car arrived at the family residence.

No one was surprised when they saw Anthony’s car.

“Oh, it’s Anthony”

“He’s home already? Good for him.”

“I’m going upstairs to do something.”

Josh, Zachary, and Lisa were staring at Jean.

“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s just Anthony,” Jean said.

“Yeah, Dad is back,” Josh said.

But Lilly still isn’t home.

Zachary asked, “Aunt Jean, where did Lilly go?”

Lisa nodded vigorously. She also wanted to know the answer.

“I don’t know either,” Jean answered. “I’m still waiting for her, just like you all. Make sure you. don’t give me away. Mom will be more worried if you

do.”

She looked downstairs and saw Bettany sitting next to the window looking out into the blizzard. She was mumbling to herself, “The snow is so heavy outside. Will Jean and Lilly be able to return? Sigh… the sky is getting dark…”

Jean felt tears well up in her eyes. She wanted to tell her, “I’m right here, Mom!”

But she should be showing up with Lilly. If only either of them returned, Christmas would

not be the same.

The car door closed, and the front door of the house opened. Anthony’s coat was especially bulky today. In the dim twilight, it was hard to see what was strange.

He stepped into the house calmly. His briefcase was under his arm instead of holding it in his hand. There was a hint of mischief in his

eyes.

Bettany shot a glance at Anthony, then turned her head back to look out of the window.

In the living room, Anthony opened his coat, and Lilly’s head stuck out from inside.

“Tada! Surprise!”

Bettany’s eyes opened wide. She stood up with delight. “Lilly!”

Lilly ran toward her. “I’m home, Granny!”

Bettany hugged her tightly and said, “Oh, you, why do you always come home so late? Are

you hungry? We’re all hungry because we’re waiting for you!”

Lilly smiled. “You shouldn’t have waited for me. It’s already so late…”

Bettany shook her head. “Wait, where’s your mom?”

Jean had already come downstairs and hid behind Anthony. When she heard that, she stuck her head out and said with a pout, “I’m right here! Not fair, Mom! You hugged Lilly before you hugged me!”

Bettany went over and hugged Jean too. “You’re already a mother. You should at least act like.

one!”

Jean smiled, though she felt like crying. Her mother’s hair was silvery-white, and there were more wrinkles on her face than she remembered. However, Bettany’s hands were just as

warm.

Now, it was time to properly celebrate Christmas.

Matthan was already crawling toward Lilly as soon as she showed herself. “Lillillilli!”

Josh and Hannah ran down the stairs with Zachary following behind. Drake was already in the living room, so he sauntered over and arrived next to Illy first.

“Lilly! You’re finally home!” Josh hugged Lilly tightly, feeling very

relieved.

Hannah, the stronger of the two, picked Josh up and put him aside. It was her turn to hug Lilly. “I miss you so much!”

Josh stamped his foot angrily. Hannah was much taller than him, and she was stronger because of the Energy Elixir.

It was Matthan who clinched the final victory.

Drake brought Matthan over and said, “Lilly, Matthan wants huggies from you.”

“Lilli… Li… lly!” Matthan cooed.

Lilly took him in her hands. Matthan flashed a victorious smile at his elder brothers and

sisters.
