Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 523

It was snowing when Lilly was leaving home, and she told everyone that she would be back for food. Bettany’s eyes reddened and she said, "Alright, let’s have your favourite food! Everyone is eating it tonight! Margaret, bring the waffles out!" Before she went missing, she asked everyone to eat waffles with her. And this had become Bettany’s obsession, she was making waffles daily and insisted Lilly wanted to have it. She was always making waffles; and she would heat up and finish the leftovers the following day. And she would make it again and again. She had been eating waffles for the past three months; and Lilly was finally back.

Blake carried her and said, "Let’s go, I’ll bring you to wash your hands!" Bettany snatched Lilly and said, "You should go kill the chicken, kill two!" Blake said, "Margerat can do it." She replied, "No, you’re faster." Blake gave in and went to kill chickens.

Lilly sat at the dining table, and she instantly finished a plate of waffles. She licked her lips and felt like she had not been eating for long. She did not feel hungry underground, but she was starving once she was back up. Bettany was cooking in the kitchen, and she blamed herself for not preparing the food earlier. Margaret and the other maids were also assisting her in the kitchen, and some food was ready in just a few minutes. And some took longer than the others.

The children were gathered around Lilly, and stared at her eating. Lisa was not hungry, and she sat at the side and looked at Lilly eating. "Slow down." Josh filled up the bowls with food and gave it to Lilly and Lisa. Drake quietly peeled the shrimps and gave them to Lilly and Lisa… Hannah kept on putting food into Lilly’s bowl and said, "Eat this! And that! Hurry up and eat!" Zachary was ready with a napkin at the side, and he would wipe away the grease on her mouth from time to time.

Anthony looked at them when he was back, everyone was serving Lilly as if she was a queen. Everyone was worried that she starved, and they all wanted to stuff her with all the food. Anthony felt like he might cry, and he said in a lowered voice, "Lilly…" She looked at him and dashed towards him. "Uncle Anthony!" He looked at her; her clothes were torn, and she must be hungry so she did not change and started to eat. His heart pained seeing her, and he hugged her tight. "Lilly…" He wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he did not know what to say at the moment. Lilly hugged him tight and said, "Uncle Anthony, I’m fine! Don’t be sad!" Anthony muttered, "Sorry…" It’s my fault for not protecting you…

Anthony and Blake blamed themselves the most for the past three months; Lilly disappeared right in front of them along with the avalanche. They brought her out, but did not manage to bring her back. God knew how much suffering they had been through! All Lilly’s uncles came back after Anthony was back. Bryson was on leave; and Gilbert did not dare to conduct the operation, he was worried that he might be distracted. He merely diagnosed the patients and did rounds in the wards. All of them were worried that this was just a dream, they stared at Lilly in silence. They were worried like Bettany; they were afraid that they might shatter this dream.
