Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 591 Some People Just Want To Hear An Apology Or A Thank You

Cathy sat on the bed in a daze, unsure what had happened.

She only saw her brother cry.

She climbed to the bedside table and plucked out a tissue, climbed off the bed to Sean before getting on her tiptoes and holding out the tissue clumsily.

“Wipey tears, Sean! Don’t cry, Sean!” Cathy seemed a little panicked.

Sean turned his face to the side, determined not to make a noise even as tears streamed down his face.

Cathy could only hug her brother’s leg, pressing her cheek to his calf.

A long time later, Sean let go of Lilly at last. His voice was hoarse when he croaked out, “Thank you.”

Lilly swung Cathy’s hand, beaming at Sean. “Don’t worry about it, Sean!”

She lifted Cathy’s arm into the air, hauling Cathy into her arms in one move.

“Cathy, say thank you to Sean!”

Cathy didn’t understand, but obediently chirped, “Thank you, Sean!”

Lilly said, “Say ‘You’ve done well, Sean!”

Cathy said, “Say you’ve done well, Sean!”

Lilly frowned. “No, say it without the first word.”

Cathy said, “It without the first word!”

Sean stifled a laugh, forcing his face to go back to neutral.

Lilly put the rebel ghost into the jar of spirits. She still had to heal Cathy’s sickness and get rid of the last of her bad aura, and so Lilly came over everyday to play with Cathy in the next few days.

They were all in the park. Sean had his hands in his pockets, leaning against one of the exercise facilities as he watched Lilly and Cathy play a game of freeze.

“One, two, three… Freeze!”

Lilly and Cathy stopped moving at the same time, contorting into weird poses.

The two girls played together, competing on who could run to Sean first. Every round ended in Cathy charging into Sean’s arms in a fit of giggles.

“You lost!” Lilly shouted, running after her from behind. “You’re not playing fair!”
