Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 1517

"Lilly! Lilly!" A familiar voice echoed in Lilly's ears.

Who is that? Why did they keep calling me, yet I couldn't remember it at all?

She opened her tired eyes, and the iron gate that had been keeping her imprisoned was still within her sight.

Outside the iron gate, the leaves had turned yellow and fell from the tree.

She looked down at herself, and her discovery surprised her. She was unaware that she had changed into the clothes of the children's home, and her arms were covered in scars.

Somewhat confused, she took her time to recall the events that had transpired.

Her family had abandoned her, and the man in black from the police station had put her in the car that brought her to her welfare institution.

Then, a season had passed in the blink of an eye. She vaguely remembered being bullied by the other children in the institution.

The older children would steal her food and make her do their laundry. Yet, she refused to back down. Unwilling to endure the treatment, she fought back.

"You're just a kid! How could you fight with others at the age of four?" The director slammed the table in anger. "Besides, you're a girl! Why can't you behave?"

She hung her head low and kept her lips sealed when the director questioned her in the director's office.

In the end, the director had no choice but to let the teacher take her away with the older children. To teach her a lesson, she was made to stand in punishment with them.

Spring and summer passed uneventfully, and the autumn leaves fell abundantly. At the same time, new scars could be found on her arms, face, and the corners of her eyes.

Lilly sat on the stairs with her arms crossed as she watched the falling leaves in the distance.

She remembered the dream she had in the snow when she was on the verge of death.

In her dream, she was so powerful. Not only could she catch ghosts and fight them, but she could even chase away the beasts several times her size.

Those beasts cried out in fear at the sight of her, and in the end, she made them her food.

The aroma… Lilly took a deep breath as if she could smell the delicious food.

But with a blink of her eyes, she was thrown back to reality. All she saw were the falling leaves, and she was still alone.

Of course the imaginary me would be powerful. But sadly, I'm not powerful at all…

Her parents, her eight uncles, her grandparents, and her master were never there.

She had never met her cousins, Polly, Bellflower, Squeaky, and Speedy.

Grace, Ivan, Fortune, and Lucky, whom she met along the way, were also her imaginary friends.

Nobody. She had nobody at all.

She felt her eyes dry, and it was stinging.
