Despite the old lady’s disapproval, Lilly was determined to watch the typhoon. In a surprising turn of events, Blake swiftly took Lilly and snuck out.

Bettany called out angrily, “Blake, bring the children back! Why are you bringing them to watch the typhoon? Aren’t you afraid the typhoon will blow everyone away!”

Blake pretended to be confused and replied, “Watch a typhoon? What are you talking about? We’re not going to see the typhoon, we’re visiting Lilly’s Uncle Max!”

Their next mode of transportation was by car.

“Woohoo! I’m finally going to see Uncle Max!” Lilly joyfully exclaimed as she lay against the window, watching the rain outside.

The rain was not too heavy, as the car drove by.
