Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

The Crawford House.

Bettany sat in the foyer of the main building. She was almost done crocheting the purse in her hands.

She glanced at the garden from time to time, but the headache she had from a sudden immense pressure gave her a lingering fear, so she did not dare to take a look again.

Yet, when she looked this time, Lilly was not there anymore.

“Where’s Lilly?” she appallingly asked.

Josh hid behind the wall holding his phone. He only dared to observe the whole situation through the lens of his phone.

He saw Lilly disappear with his own eyes!

“That was unbelievable. Will I ever be that powerful one day…” Zachary murmured to himself.

Josh was at a total loss. “So teleportation does exist in the world…”

As soon as the murmurs died down, a glimmer flashed near the garden pavilion. And Lilly was there again, just like she never left.

“Ah… I must be getting old. These eyes can’t see the way they used to anymore,” Bettany sighed. “I don’t think this old grandma will be able to catch up all of y’all young people soon.”

As the kids grow older, they walk faster and faster too. Bettany could only watch from afar, and genuinely hope that her grandkids will someday find their place in the world.

“Please, Granny. You’re not old all,” Zachary disagreed.

“Exactly. You’re the most glamorous one out all of the old ladies in town, Granny! If you’re old, then all of the others would be ancient!” Josh chimed in.

Bettany remained silent.

Lilly then hurried over excitedly, no longer examining her mirror.

“Granny! I did it!” Lilly’s heart was still pounding like a drum. Her cheeks were flushed red, her eyes wide and bright.
