Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Blake stated, “We didn’t come here today to ask about this.”

Softly, Lilly expressed, “Tracy has been missing for such a long time. You must miss her a lot!”

Upon hearing this, the girl’s mother burst into tears and said, “Even if she passes away, I hope I can dream of her… I have nothing else to ask for now.”

Swiftly, the girl’s father intervened to prevent her from saying more.

Lilly inquired suspiciously, “What’s the matter?”

The girl’s father shook his head and replied with a wry smile, “Since Tracy went missing, we have received numerous calls. Some offered to help us investigate, while others sought more details. Even a practitioner gave us instructions.”

“At first, we would share details and our speculations with them. Consequently, her mother cried for a long time.”

“To our surprise, these words quickly made their way onto the internet, with the title being Missing girl’s parents confirmed…’”

The man, whose hair had turned gray due to his daughter’s disappearance, sighed, “We genuinely believed they would assist us in finding her. However, we soon realized that the only ones truly helping were our neighbors, relatives, friends, and a few kind strangers.”

“When most people called to ask about the situation, they were merely eager to hear if we had any sensational information. If there wasn’t, they’d create a headline to shock others.”

“People from all over the world offered advice, analyzed the case, and even invited us to do live broadcasts in search of our child.”

“It turns out they don’t truly care about us. They’re more interested in seeking excitement.” Wrinkles formed on the girl’s father’s face as he took a puff from his cigarette and sighed heavily.

Lilly pressed her lips together, choosing not to speak. She assumed those people were merely visiting the coffee shop, but she never expected them to approach the girl’s parents.

The girl’s father continued, “Initially, her mother and I intended to search for Tracy in Alfornada, but we couldn’t stay there any longer. Numerous people would come to us, asking about how we felt.”

Tracy’s father shook his head and shared, “That’s when we decided to come back.”

They were forced to go back.

They could not find anyone, and they were physically and mentally exhausted.

They were occupied with numerous interviews, it left them no time to search.
