Lilly slowed down when she was about to pounce on Bettany, and she hugged her. She said, "Granny! I am back!" with joy.
Bettany teared up immediately, "Granny misses you!" She patted Lilly’s head and asked, "Have you been taking good care of yourself? Are you hurt anywhere?" She noticed Lilly had grown up; she looked plump and healthy, but she was still worried about her.
Lilly shook her head and said, "I am all good, granny! Look at me!" She stretched out her arm.
Bettany stared at her gently. You are finally home. Even though it took you longer than last time, I am glad you are back safe and sound.
"How about your father?" Bettany asked. Everyone knew Blake was powerful, and they subconsciously weren't that worried about him.
Lilly replied, "Daddy and mummy are sleeping down there."
Bettany exclaimed with disbelief, "Oh no! Your father…" Did he die? Jean had already passed away, and Lilly claimed that they were sleeping together. It means they were buried together! Bettany didn’t know how to react now. She was overjoyed when Lilly was back, but now she was depressed. Hugh embraced her shoulders, saying, "This is life... We can only accept it."
Lilly quickly said, "It was a misunderstanding! Daddy is alive! He is not dead! We met Mummy, and we had a barbecue together!"
