Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 616

“Aaron is gone. The passionate spirit said bitterly, “Linda ran out of milk, Aaron’s just a few months old; he’s hungry, and he’s innocent. He cried even louder as he was hungry, and he almost gave everyone away with his crying. Linda hugged him tightly and covered his mouth to prevent him from crying, and she accidentally suffocated him to death. “Before I could grieve, I had to piggyback on my mother and drag Linda to run for our lives.”

He lost count of the people coming after them, and he forgot how long they did not have a good sleep. His father and Linda’s parents lost their lives in the village; when they were running away, his mother was killed on the way. Linda was shot in the leg, and he piggybacked her, and he ran and ran for miles. “I was dizzy because I was starving.” The passionate spirit said, “Linda hit me and asked me to leave her; I wasn’t willing to.” He did not describe it in detail, but it could be heard that he was helpless and suffering a lot back then.

They all went back to the village once the enemies were gone. “Life goes on. We buried our families, and we planted the crops on the ruined field. When we were starving, we even resorted to eating tree roots. After three years, our second child was born.” It was better this time around; his kid did not eat much, and Linda was recovering from her past traumas.

Yet the foreigners came back, and they were even crueler. “You guys can’t possibly imagine what happened back then; a lot of events aren’t recorded in the books.” His second child died; he was cooked by the foreigners. Linda was losing it, and she wanted to fight with them. Yet she was pinned down on the ground. “Her life was slowly losing meaning; my limbs were all broken. But how could I let her go through all of these?” He was recalling the carefree days he had with Linda when they were young; they used to play in the river and gather fruits in the mountains.

There was once a time she was trapped in the mountain with heavy rain, and he piggybacked her when she was crying all the way. He could never leave her alone to die.
