Filed To Story: A Little Princess's Journey from Darkness to Light Novel
Blake followed Lilly slowly. Even though Lilly was running ahead, he could follow her closely with his long legs.
Behind them was the female ghost holding her head. She turned her head around. When she saw the luxurious Crawford Mansion, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. Then, she made some strange sound from her throat.
Inside the mansion, Bettany hurriedly controlled the wheelchair to go downstairs, and Josh, who was in the mini-library, also dropped his arithmetic book.
Polly flew out of nowhere, landed on the slippery handrail, and slipped downstairs.
Anthony was sitting on the sofa on the first floor working when he heard Lilly’s voice. He stood calmly and muttered, “Lilly is finally back. They should rest a*sured now.”
The next second, he saw Lilly running in. Her forehead was shockingly red and seemed bleeding.
Bettany exclaimed, “Lilly!”
Josh hurried forward. “Lilly, what’s wrong with your head? Are you okay? Does it hurt?”
Gilbert asked Liam to get the medicine box and hurried forward to check on Lilly.
Edward stared at Lilly, and even Jonas put away his foolish look and frowned.
Hugh was angry and impatient, then scolded Anthony, “Didn’t you say she wouldn’t get hurt?”
Anthony looked at the whole family staring at him and dared not to say anything. He glared dangerously at Blake, who had just walked in. Blake was so tall that his head almost reached the door frame and blocked the door.
The Crawford family followed Anthony’s gaze.
Blake felt about eight gazes glaring at him like knives when he entered the mansion.
He had seen Hugh, who stared at him gloomily. He had also seen Anthony, who showed a cold and sharp expression.
There were a few others that Blake had not seen before. One of them was dark-skinned and looked grumpy as if wishing to come up to fight Blake immediately.
There was even a parrot flapping its wings and shouting, “Caw! Caw!”
Blake looked around without changing his expression, then asked, “What happened?”
Bettany gritted her teeth and scolded, “What’s wrong with Lilly’s forehead? You should protect her!”
Blake paused for a moment.
Bettany nagged endlessly. Although they met for the first time, she still scolded Blake unceremoniously without alienation. It made Blake involuntarily think of his mother’s nagging look. After a long time, he never expected to hear similar complaints again.
Blake pursed his lips and apologized, “Sorry.”
Bettany snorted and did not accept it. She would not forgive anyone who made Lilly get hurt!
Seeing that everyone misunderstood, Lilly hurriedly explained, “Granny, it’s not Daddy’s fault!”
When everyone heard it, they felt upset. It was only one night, but Lilly was already familiar with Blake and even helped Blake.
After careful inspection, Gilbert found Lilly’s forehead was only scratched and swollen. It was nothing serious. It was just that the dyed red medicated ointment shocked them.
He asked softly, “Lilly, tell me, how did you get knocked on the head?”
Lilly said in detail, “Daddy took me to give flowers to Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, and Grandma. I imitated Daddy and saluted but accidentally hit the ground.”
Everyone was speechless when knowing the truth.
Blake raised an eyebrow. “Look, it’s not my fault.”
Bettany glanced at him with an indescribable emotion. As Hugh described, Blake, who tempted Jean and Lilly, was like a crime boss.
Gilbert smiled and asked, “Lilly, why did you return late? Where did your daddy take you to play?”
Lilly recalled seriously and answered, “We didn’t go anywhere! Daddy only took me to greet Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, and Grandma.”
Josh did not believe Lilly to greet her great-grandpa and grandparents for so long. So he asked, “And then?”
Lilly responded, “Then Daddy taught me how to smash enemies’ brains.”
The Crawford family was stunned, while Blake was speechless.
The Crawford family members looked at Blake with sharp gazes.
Blake’s lips twitched, “You don’t have to say that, little girl.”
Bettany got angrier when she saw Blake admitted to it.
What did he teach Lilly?
She was suspicious that the injuries on Lilly’s forehead were due to Blake teaching her to use the forehead to split the brick.
Bettany looked at Blake from the head to toe.
This “criminal” is too tall. He had a nice posture and black hair with slight curls. He also looked mysterious with his dark eyes.
“Have a seat since you’re here.” Bettany pointed to the sofa.
Gilbert ruffles Lilly’s hair, “Lilly, go and have fun with Josh first. We’ll have a chat with your dad, okay?”
Josh held Lilly’s hand and said, “Come on. I’ll show you something cool!”
“Okay!” Lily answered happily and went off with Josh.
In Lilly’s point of view, her grandparents, uncle, and daddy were nice people. There was nothing she needed to be worried about.
Blake watched her run up the stairs excitedly with a parrot following her. He was just abandoned by his daughter?
Blake looked around and saw Old Mr. Crawford, Old Mrs. Crawford, and the Crawford brothers.
They make Lilly leave because they are going to interrogate him about what happened that year.
It was understandable, Jean was their precious daughter.
If Lilly was taken away by some brat for no reason, he would act more aggressively.
Although Blake sat properly on the sofa, he still looked wild as ever.
“Just ask whatever you wanted to ask.”
Blake was not afraid of the interrogations as he had countless experiences of it.
Josh dragged Lilly to his room and introduced Lilly to his inventions in the past few days.
“Look at this!” Josh excitedly picked up a digital HD video recorder.
Lilly took it and turned it around curiously. “I modified this video recorder. I enhanced the infrared night vision function. It could search for its target using infrared light and form an image from the refracted light…”
Maybe it could photograph a spirit.
“Oh I see,” Lilly said with a blank face. She actually didn’t understand anything at all.
Josh left the video recorder casually on the table. Then, he took out a large and round object that looked like an iron bowl. It was covered with a piece of cloth.
Lilly asked, “Josh, what is this?”
Josh untied the straps and lifted the black cloth. A large iron bowl was revealed.
“After my tireless efforts and calculations, I found out that there is a close relationship between magnetic fields and spirits sightings. It took me days to figure out the closest formula and engraved it here.
Josh explained, “This iron bowl might look normal, but underneath I put two NdFeB magnets. Assumed the magnetic surface density is σ, then…”
Lilly was confused, “Josh, what are you talking about?”
Josh paused for a moment and said, “I think spirits are a specific substance that can interfere with the magnetic field. There’s a regular pattern of the magnetic field in my iron bowl. However, when a spirit is close, it changes the magnetic field ……”
“The needle is set with very small magnetic fluctuations, which means the needle is very sensitive. Whenever a spirit appears nearby, the needle will rotate quickly until it points to a certain direction…”
Lilly was silent and after she thought for a moment, she asked, “Josh, isn’t it a compa*s then?”
Josh was speechless.
He was stunned.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He spent a few days making this. How could there be a prototype in reality?
Lilly comforted Josh, “Josh, you had made a compa*s! You are very cool!”
Josh was upset.
Lilly added, “Josh, your compa*s is different. Others have words on it, yours had formulas.”
“Formulas are cooler than words!”
“That’s right!” Josh’s eyes lit up.
The calculations would be more accurate using formulas!
“Josh, what are all these for?” Lilly asked.
Josh turned on his laptop and opened a website.
“I’ve created a website and published two dissertations but I got mocked in the comments.”
Ever since his spirit sightings theories videos were posted on Twitter by the public, a lot of people watched them.
However, those people watched for the jokes and his cuteness.
He must prove that his spirit sightings theory was true.
“Erm…” Lilly was unsure.
