Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 I Can Fly

The nurse’s hands were trembling as she administered the shots as she tried to hold back her laughter,

Hannah tearfully covered her arms. The pain was excruciating!

Why do injections hurt so much?

It hurt even more than the previous ones!

Bettany, Blake, and Lilly raced out and fled home once everything had been settled. All of them felt the second-hand embarrassment set in.

Back in the car. Lilly muttered, “That was so embarrassing!”

She shouldn’t have told Hannah to scream “I can do it

“Oh, Granny. I want to get the kitty a collar as a present for it!”

Η

“Of course,” Bettany said dotingly.

Blake then drove them to Central Mall.

Hannah was still caught in a daze and had yet to come to her senses after experiencing the worst pain of

her life.

She would usually take off on her own when they went shopping but this time she remained by Lilly’s side.

They found a pet store and selected a red collar with a bow on the front and a bell-shaped ornament made of pure gold that hung from it.

The price came up to eighty-eight thousand. The female clerk, afraid they would back out of the deal, began a long-winded explanation about the lambskin collar, the several grams of gold, and it being a handmade design produced by a famous designer… Bettany didn’t blink an eye as she handed the woman

her card.

The clerk was dumbfounded. The “treasure of the store hadn’t been sold in over two years. Many gave up on it after learning the price. To think it would finally find an owner today.

The tabby cat took a tentative approach when Lilly returned to the Crawford home. It peeked out from behind the bushes to observe them in secret.

Lilly waved. “Come here, kitty! Look, I got you a presen!”

The cat bounded over.

She slung the collar around its neck but failed to secure it in place.

“Daddy…” She gave her father a pleading look.

Blake plucked the cat up by the back of its neck and seled it on his lap.

The tabby cat was confused. It was the most ferocious beast in existence. Why was this man overpowering

it?

1/4

He fitted the collar on the cat and deposited it back in front of Lilly. “There.”

The cat poked out his tongue, rolled its eyes to the back of its head, and fell to the floor in a heap.

Lilly was taken aback. “Is the collar too tight, Daddy?”

Blake checked the cat over again to see that it was inddell the case.

The collar was choking it but it didn’t change how dramatic the cat was being.

He got it fixed. “Done.”

This time, it scampered under the magnolia tree Polly frequented out of fear for Blake.

Polly, who was still in the pet carrier, was ready to wage war. “It’s on!”

That’s my spot!

I refuse to give it up!

Cats had the natural tendency for attacking birds. Polly was going to beat some sense into it and show it

who’s boss!

Round 1.

Everyone gathered to name the cat after dinner.

“The adults shouldn’t get involved in this. Have the young ones think of something.” Bettany said.

She turned to the aloof Drake and silent Zachary. “You two should offer suggestions too.”

“Hah.” Drake snorted.

Who wants to name a cat?

Hannah, who was flopped weakly against a chair, said weakly, “Let’s call it a poison walker…”

Josh barked a laugh. “Why don’t we just call it ‘Injection?”

She glared at him.

Polly squawked at the top of her lungs. “Rookie! Rookie”

My name is Polly. The newbie should be named Rookie. I ran above it!

The tabby cat let out a throaty snarl at the green parrot
