Lilly lowered her head and ate quickly while thinking about the elevator. Bettany felt worried and said, "Lilly, we don't have to work so hard." "No, I have to work hard!" Lilly replied while eating. "Granny, I'll go to school later." Bettany was confused for a few seconds. Oh, I almost forgot Lilly had to go to school today.
"It's okay if you don't." Bettany paused for a moment before responding, "Going to school is to gain knowledge and cultivate their qualities, but you are different." Bettany considered Lilly a quick thinker and an outstanding girl. Lilly could remember every lesson Drake had taught her, and she aced the test at home. "We have to be humble in our learning," Lilly replied, shaking her head. Bettany was relieved, but she was speechless after hearing Lilly's words. "Granny, our main goal is to participate!" said Lilly.
Lilly studied the elevator again after eating; she estimated that the studies would take roughly a month and that they were only getting started. After looking for two days, she was fatigued, so she went to school early Monday morning with her siblings to ease her thoughts. Zachary did not return until Monday morning. He seemed exhausted and walked upstairs without saying anything. "Zac, do you want to have breakfast? Are you still attending school?" Bettany asked. Zachary shook his head, stating that he was too tired to go. He still had the strength to attend school, but he didn't want to. Suddenly, he sensed that something was off.
The maid was cleaning Lilly's room. Zachary took a step back and looked inside Lilly's room. He noticed a mirror on her table, which he hadn't seen. The maid was about to wipe the mirror clean. Zachary quickly stopped her and said, "Don't move." The maid stopped and looked confused. "Lilly is back?" questioned Zachary. "Little Miss has been back for two days and just went to school this morning," the maid said. Zachary suddenly became excited. I am going to school!
Zachary said, "You won't have to clean Lilly’s room again. We'll clean things up for her." After hearing what Zachary had to say, the maid set the mirror aside, nodded, and said, "Okay." Little Miss had been in the room for two days. She went to school today, and the maid came into the room to clean according to the rules and habits. The maid locked the door and walked away silently. They had no right to ask questions.
Bettany was about to go to the supermarket with Margaret, but she noticed Zachary coming downstairs with his schoolbag on his back. Bettany asked, "Hmm?" Didn't you say you weren't going to school?" Zachary stated, "I changed my mind." Bettany was stunned, knowing that he was going to find Lilly. She noticed him looking exhausted and purposefully didn't inform him that Lilly had returned, but in the end, he still wanted to go.
