Chapter 570 Go Offline and Grab Your Lunch
Lilly continued to ask, "Are you trying to steal my father?"
Yena was taken aback for a moment and answered honestly, "Yes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.She could never say that! But she could not control her mouth.
Lilly proceeded with another question, "Are you jealous of all the uncles I have?"
Yena responded, "Yes!"
She wished she could deny it, saying that she was not jealous of Lilly having so many uncles.
Deep down, she envied the fact that so many people liked Lilly, unlike herself, who felt so empty...
Unfortunately, her mouth was brutally honest, admitting everything she should not have said.
Lilly pressed on, "Were you pretending to like me?"
Yena burst into tears and sobbed, "Yes."
Finally, Lilly asked, "Do you want to drive me away and take my place?"
Yena answered with a hoarse voice, "Yes..."
Lilly remained calm, "You also want me to disappear and never return."
Yena choked on her tears, "Yes..."
Blake's expression turned cold.
Yena could not control her tears.
Blake no longer liked her anymore! How could Lilly do this? Lilly has so many uncles, but Yena only yearned for one uncle...
Lilly did not give in and made her look terrible! Everyone was astonished by Yena's answers.
Just moments ago, this child seemed different, well-behaved, and sensible! Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Yena had
mastered the art of pretending to be righteous.
She had learned a lot from her mother, which was quite surprising...
At that moment, Shane entered with an ugly expression on his face! He had rushed over, almost out of breath, and leaned
against the wall by the door to catch his breath.
Shane had not arrived when Lilly was questioning the ghost in red, but he had heard Lilly's question and Yena's answers clearly.
However, Shane was still affected by the black needle in his neck, and the first words he uttered upon meeting them were in
defense of Yena.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's my fault for not disciplining Yena properly.She's still young and doesn't know any better...I've told her not
to bother you before, but she didn't listen!"
Lilly focused her gaze on Shane's arm and suddenly asked, "Mr.Hatcher, do you feel numb in your arm lately? So numb that you
can't lift it?"
Shane was taken aback, wondering why Lilly suddenly showed concern for his physical condition.
In the past few days, his arm had indeed been numb, and he struggled to lift it.
The condition seemed to be worsening.He had visited a doctor, but the doctor said there was nothing wrong.
"Thank you, Little Miss Crawford for your concern...I've been feeling unwell recently, probably due to cervical spondylosis,"
Shane replied.
Lilly shook her head and said, "Not only can you not lift your arms, but you also feel weak and tired after taking just a few steps."
"You often wake up from nightmares at night, drenched in sweat."
"You even have difficulty urinating in the toilet and end up wetting your legs."
Shane's eyes widened in horror, "How did you know?"
These were private and embarrassing issues that he did not tell the doctor! Lilly stated, "Your life force has been sucked out!"
"Do you know what borrowing life is, Mr.Hatcher? You could have lived until you're 80 years old, but now you may only live until
60 years old."
Shane, who was 56 years old, married Mabel and put in great effort to have a child, hoping for a son to inherit the family
property.
Now, upon hearing that he only had four years to live, he was taken aback and became suspicious.
"What? No, it's impossible! Little Miss Crawford, stop talking nonsense!"
He acknowledged his health issues, but living for only four years seemed unfathomable.
What could one accomplish in such a short time? He had worked hard to earn money and had started a family at the age of forty,
welcoming his first daughter at the age of forty-two.
However, his first wife struggled to conceive a son, so he married Mabel.He had hoped for a son even when he crossed the
threshold of fifty, but Yena, another daughter, was born instead.
With his goal of having a son unfulfilled, how could four years be enough? He had not enjoyed life to the fullest yet! Lilly didn't
offer much explanation.
Instead, she asked Mrs.Ferguson to bring a mirror and instructed Shane to squat down while she placed her little hand on the
back of his neck.
As Shane felt a sharp pain in his neck, he watched in disbelief as Lilly extracted a large black needle from his neck.
The needle was large, resembling those used for injecting cattle, and Shane broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of it.
"How...How could something like this be inside my body?"
Lilly stated, "Ask your daughter!"
Shane stared at Yena, demanding an answer, "Did you do this?"
Yena's eyes were filled with terror, but she could not control her words.
"Yes..."
Shane's expression suddenly turned grim.
Now that the influence of the black needle was gone, he returned to his normal state, free from the inexplicable affection he had
felt towards Yena. novelebook.com He recalled that Yena had given him a massage a few days ago.
Shane's arm had indeed started to go numb and became immobile after Yena's massage.
Now, he confronted her as he frowned, demanding an explanation.
Yena tearfully confessed, "Yes, I stuck the needle in when I massaged you..."
It's all over...
Enraged, Shane grabbed Yena's arm and delivered a powerful slap across her face.
"It's not a good thing to follow in your mother's footsteps at such a young age!"
What kind of ungrateful child had he raised! He provided her with food, shelter, and raised her, and this was how she repaid him!
Lilly retrieved the talisman from Yena’s head and burned it.
Yena cried loudly, desperately pleading, "Dad, it's not like that! Yena didn't do it on purpose! Yena was also deceived by the
ghost!"
"The ghost even told me it can give you back your life force..." Shane looked at Lilly.
Lilly shook her head, "There's nothing you can do to get back your stolen life force."
Whether it was borrowing luck, borrowing life, or any other form, they were all deceitful and filthy tricks.
Shane's life had likely been drained by King Libra to recover, taking away twenty years in one go.
How could it be reversed now? Shane grew even angrier, thinking about the pain he had endured in the past few days, and
slapped Yena across the face again.
Yena sobbed uncontrollably.
Mrs.Ferguson sneered, "I thought she would harm other people's families, but I never expected that she would even try to kill her
own father! I underestimated her."
"I don't care about other people's affairs, but she almost killed my son!"
Yena continued to cry, insisting that she had also been deceived by the female ghost in red.
At this moment, how could she recall the joy she felt when her ghostly mother granted her a favor, only to be overcome with
terror as she attributed everything to the ghostly figure.
The female ghost dressed in red with a talisman attached remained silent, leaving an eerie silence in the air.
Indeed, she appeared to be an unfamiliar and malicious figure.
If given the chance, she would undoubtedly be the first to take Yena’'s life tonight, and keeping her alive would serve no purpose
whatsoever.
However, Lilly did not grant her that opportunity.She swiftly raised her hand to strike the ghostly, causing fear to fill the eyes of
the ghost, who let out a shrill cry before disintegrating into ashes.
"Let's leave now," Blake said, picking up Lilly and leaving without looking behind.
From a distance, Yena's cries could be heard...She did not know whether Mrs.Ferguson would chop off her arms and legs.But
Shane would undoubtedly suffer severe consequences.
Lilly grabbed onto her father's neck and asked, "Daddy, isn't she incredibly pitiful?"
Blake responded, "A person consumed by misfortune will harbor resentment.She brought this upon herself, this is her nature.If
she's not corrected at a young age, she will only cause harm to more people as she grows older."
While it was believed humans were born good.
However, Blake was inclined to believe that human nature was inherently wicked.
There was a philosophy that said people were born into this world to face hardships as evil beings.
As they grow, they gradually cleanse their sins and ultimately become good people.He was convinced that the majority of kids do
not grasp the concept of good and evil from the get-go.
In their cluelessness, they might even be cruel to small animals.
It's only through their parents’ guidance and upbringing that they eventually learn right from wrong.
No matter what others might say, he simply did not feel any sympathy for Yena, even though she was just five years old.
