Meanwhile, Lilly cheerfully sang a hand-washing song.
Gilbert smiled. “Who taught you that song?”
Lilly replied, “Hannah taught me! Kindergarten is amazing!”
Lilly smiled cutely as she looked at Gilbert through the mirror.
Gilbert nodded. “Yes, you’re fantastic!”
She’s doing so well. Lilly has become cheerful and lively.
He still remembered the first time he saw her. She was buried under a snowdrift, covered in injuries. She appeared lifeless and numb, like an emotionless robot.
After Lilly finished washing her hands, she carefully dried them with a towel before running off to the dining room.
Suddenly, she stopped and returned to hold Gilbert’s hand. “Uncle Gilbert, hurry up! I’m hungry!”
Gilbert chuckled and followed her into the dining room.
Bettany returned to the kitchen, where she had prepared a variety of delicious dishes.
She cooked the pepper pork in a pressure cooker before deep-frying it to achieve a crispy texture. She added a layer of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
For the barbecued chicken, she selected the best cuts of meat and applied just the right amount of sauce, resulting in a non-greasy dish.
She even shaped the beef into delicate flowers. The thin slices of meat were baked in the oven until crispy, resembling petals of a blooming flower.
Lilly exclaimed, “Granny, did you make all of this?”
Bettany proudly replied, “Of course! My cooking is certified by a five-star chef!”
Lilly praised Bettany. “Granny, you’re amazing! Thumbs up!”
Hearing this, Bettany couldn’t help but laugh.
Hannah, Josh, and Drake focused on their meal. In the past, they had often complained about the food at home. But now, for some reason, every bite was delicious.
Anthony suddenly spoke up, “Lilly has adjusted well here. We can send her to kindergarten in a few days.”
Ever since Lilly accompanied Josh to school, she had expressed a desire to study as well. With Hannah starting kindergarten, it seemed like the perfect time to enroll Lilly.
Hugh pursed his lips, appearing somewhat unhappy. “Why rush? Lilly is still young…”
Lilly interrupted, “Grandpa, I’m not young anymore! I’m four years old!”
Hannah looked up from her plate and mumbled while eating, “Yes… Lilly can come with me…”
Gilbert chuckled. “Dad, let Lilly go! Hannah just started school, and Lilly can catch up.”
Hugh remained silent. How did time pass by so quickly? Lilly just returned, and now it’s time for her to go to school.
After a family discussion, it was decided that Lilly would start kindergarten after Labor
Day. Excited by the news, Lilly happily continued eating her pepper pork.
Later that night, after taking a shower, Lilly climbed into bed feeling drowsy. Exhausted from a day of play, she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
In another room, Josh turned on his computer, with a programming book sitting nearby.
He had independently created a website called “The Theory of Ghosts.” He had already published two articles on the website, exploring the magnetic field and theories surrounding the existence of ghosts.
Satisfied with his masterpiece, Josh admired it for a moment. After some consideration, he condensed the main points into a video and posted it on Instagram.
With that done, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
At midnight, someone stumbled upon Josh’s video.
They watched as Josh faced the camera, earnestly explaining and popularizing the theory of ghost existence and magnetic field speculation.
The video ended with the words, “My Sister Is Amazing!”
The viewer couldn’t help but comment, “Haha… is this for real? Are you serious?”
Finding it amusing, they decided to share it. This kid is so funny and serious. I almost believed it.
The following day, Drake and Josh attended their hobby class, while Hannah remained asleep. Since Zachary had played the game all night, he was also currently sleeping.
Anthony managed to locate Rebecca’s address and took Lilly out. As the car traveled down Emerald Street, it passed another black car.
Blake seemed to have a sense of their presence and glanced up from Lilly’s photo. However, he ultimately failed to spot Anthony’s car.
The subordinate driving the car inquired, “Mr. MacNeil, would you like to greet them ahead of time?”
Blake responded in a monotone voice, “There’s no need.”
Hugh was attending to some matters in the study when Jack informed him that someone was looking for him.
“Who is it?” Hugh inquired.
Jack replied, “I’m not sure, but he claims to be from the military department and said it concerns Little Miss.”
Hugh furrowed his brow. Someone from the military department?
He immediately thought of Lilly’s supernatural power, which allowed her to break the railing with her bare hands and swing a sledgehammer.
Could it be that the military department has discovered Lilly’s power?
Hugh’s expression darkened, but he said, “Let him in.”
After a while, Jack entered the room
accompanied by Blake, dressed in black. Blake’s subordinate, who exuded a tough military temperament, followed closely behind.
In contrast, Blake gave Hugh an indescribable feeling. With his slightly curly black hair and naturally indifferent eyes, Blake appeared somewhat sinister. Even if he tried to conceal it, Hugh couldn’t ignore his bloody and fierce aura, reminiscent of a crime boss.
“Hello, Mr. Crawford. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Blake greeted with a slight smile, extending his hand.
Hugh glanced at his hand and asked, “If I shake your hand, will my granddaughter be safe?”
Blake paused, then withdrew his hand with a low chuckle.
“Mr. Crawford, you have a sense of humor,” he replied.
Hugh forced a stiff smile. “According to my butler, you’re here to find my granddaughter. Why are you looking for her?”
Observing Hugh’s wariness and reluctance, Blake realized that Hugh saw him as a potential kidnapper.
Therefore, Blake decided to reveal his true identity. “I am Blake MacNeil, the first commander of the frontier battlefield.”
Hugh was slightly taken aback. Blake MacNeil? This man is the renowned God of Battle who recently caused turmoil in Clodston!
If Blake’s purpose wasn’t related to Lilly’s power, Hugh couldn’t fathom why he would be searching for her.
“Oh, you’re Chief MacNeil!” Hugh greeted, trying to appear more amiable. “Nice to meet you.”
Blake raised an eyebrow, noticing Hugh’s increased wariness. Blake smiled and explained, “I’m looking for Lilly because…”
Blake produced a DNA report. “Your granddaughter is also my daughter.”
Hugh was stunned. Daughter? When did he conduct a DNA test?
“You…” Hugh stammered. He took the DNA report and spent half an hour carefully reading it before recovering from the shock.
