Anthony descended the stairs, his expression fixed and his gaze straight ahead. He seemed as if he had just experienced a sudden bout of weakness in his legs.

Lilly looked at him in confusion and asked, “Uncle Anthony, why did your legs give out just now?”

Curiosity swelled within the inquisitive little one, pushing her into the highest stage of relentless questioning.

“Uncle Anthony, were you so hungry from oversleeping?” she pondered.

“In the past, when Uncle Anthony was hungry, his legs didn’t go weak,” she continued, perplexed. “Could it be that you have a calcium deficiency? Granny said weak bones are caused by a lack of calcium.”

“No, that’s not it,” she corrected herself. “Uncle Anthony is an adult, not a child…”

“So, what could it be?”

“Oh, and Uncle Anthony, did you and Aunt Lisa play hide-and-seek in the room yesterday?”

Josh burst into a fit of coughing, and Gilbert nearly sprayed the food from his mouth.

Bettany stuffed a chicken leg into Lilly’s mouth and said, “Here, Lilly, have a chicken leg. Granny roasted it to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It’s delicious.”

Lilly mumbled with a mouthful of food, “Mmff… Uncle Anthony…”

Lisa looked up, puzzled, and glanced at Bettany. But as soon as her gaze met Anthony’s, she quickly lowered her head.

Taking a big bite of his meal, Anthony calmly said, “Let’s eat, shall we? Why are you all staring?”

Drake, Josh, and Gilbert immediately averted their gaze, pretending to engage in conversation.

“Nice weather today, isn’t it?” Gilbert suggested. “Anyone up for some outdoor activities?”
