come back to life?
Everyone held their breath and briefly stared at Ivan, but he did not wake up.
Melody slumped onto the ground and silently cried.
Sable sighed and sneered. “See? I’m speechless that you all believed in a child. It’s clearly a waste of time! If you had let my master continue with his spells, he could have saved him!”
Master Sullivan scolded with a stern face, “Sable! Stop talking!”
Standing outside the door, Karen overheard Sable and burst into the room, crying, “It’s your fault! This is what happens when you don’t listen to me! You killed my grandson!”
As she screamed, she threw her walking cane at Lilly. “You pay for my grandson’s life! You killed him! If he dies, then so should you!”
Lilly instinctively raised her leg and kicked the walking cane back with a thump. The walking cane immediately hit Karen’s head…and she cried and yelled even louder.
Anthony’s face turned gloomy, and he was about to have the bodyguards escort Karen out of the house!
Then, Colton shouted fiercely, “Shut up!”
Karen was startled before crying even louder. “You dare to raise your voice at me! Oh, how terrible my life is! I’ve lost my grandson, and now my son is being disrespectful…”
Master Sullivan stood at the side, listening to the squabble, and felt satisfied in his heart!
This is what you get for not trusting me!
It’s ridiculous to think that a mere child could save someone that even I can’t save!
If word gets out that Lilly was the one who saved Ivan, it’s going to damage my image!
Suddenly, a weak voice sounded. “Keep it down…”
Master Sullivan’s proud face immediately froze, and he looked to the side…
Ivan weakly propped up his body and sat up!
Lilly happily exclaimed, “You’re alive!”
Wow, I actually saved him!
Lilly suddenly thought of how powerful her master was. Some of his teachings are useful, after all!
Melody was stunned. Her body trembled as she widened her eyes, fearing that it was her imagination…
“Ivan… Ivan!” In a shaky voice, Melody exclaimed and went forward to caress Ivan’s face.
Ivan moved his head to the side. The boy was not fond of physical touch, even if it was from his own mother.
His calm expression gave him a cold yet adorable aura, similar to his father.
Ivan pursed his lips and looked around, finally locking his gaze on Lilly.
“Who are you?” he asked.
Lilly smiled widely. “I’m Lilly.”
Ivan discreetly remembered her name from then on – Lilly.
Melody choked back her tears as she thanked, “Lilly, thank you so much. Thank you…”
Karen also snapped back to her senses from the shock and crawled toward Ivan, trembling. “Oh, my grandson! Ivan, you’re awake! Oh, it must be because you’re blessed by the heavens…”
Upon hearing that, the Crawford family scoffed.
If her grandson dies, it’s Lilly’s fault; if he lives, it’s because he’s blessed!
Anthony ordered indifferently, “Jack, see them out.”
Colton glanced at Karen before apologizing to Anthony, “My apologies. Once I leave, I shall take care of my family’s business.”
He kept his words short, knowing that it would be useless to explain further.
The Crawford family was already angered by his family’s actions.
Colton was often working on the front lines of battlefields and needed help paying attention to what was happening at home.
He was unaware that his mother would be such a troublesome person, and at the same time, he also thought of the times Melody gave him the cold shoulder, making him feel troubled.
“I shall visit your family another time to express my gratitude!” Colton finished simply and turned to look at Lilly.
His gaze turned somewhat gentle as he patted her head.
“Lilly, if you need help, you can always find me.” Colton paused before emphasizing his words, “Anything at all!”
Melody wiped her tears and added, “Thank you, Lilly…”
However, little did the child know that she had accomplished something incredible and even gained the favor of the Shaw family.
She was simply happy to help as she waved her hands. “You don’t have to thank me! Besides, saving someone’s life is more important than building a seven-story tower!”
The little girl might not even understand the meaning of the idiom, but her serious face was adorable!
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh. Even Anthony, who had a stern face, softened at the sight.
Colton then took his family and left.
Master Sullivan felt extremely embarrassed and remained silent throughout.
Seeing the Shaw family leaving, the others naturally wanted to leave as well.
However, Lilly suddenly exclaimed, “I thought I heard someone say he will eat ten pounds of stinky…”
Sable was embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into!
Master Sullivan’s face darkened as he glared at Lilly and scolded, “You’re quite unreasonable for someone so young. Do you think you’re the one who saved Young Master Shaw? I advise you to cultivate more virtue!”
He huffed and walked away, frustrated.
Lilly looked confused after being scolded.
But I saved him! Who said it was them?
Lilly finally understood why the police wanted to capture them.
Meanwhile, the sky gradually cleared up, and the cold atmosphere in the living room dissipated.
Anthony stared at Lilly with a worried expression…
**
Ivan was still weak, so Colton held him in one arm before placing him in the car.
Karen hurriedly pushed Melody aside to catch up with them, but Colton unexpectedly slammed his hand against the car door while staring coldly at her.
“You look healthy, mother. Pack your belongings tomorrow and return home immediately!”
Karen was taken aback.
Colton gently placed his hand around Melody’s waist and guided her into the car before closing the door.
The car swiftly drove away, leaving Karen, who was glaring angrily in place.
“What did I do wrong…” Karen seethed, but upon noticing Master Sullivan standing behind her, she quickly stammered, “Uh… I apologize for subjecting you to such a chaotic scene!”
