Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Lisa grew increasingly pale, to the point of appearing blue, and her blood flow slowed down to a near halt.

Lilly had to take her back to the desolate mountain every few days to ‘recharge.” Each time the “battery” was sufficiently replenished, her aunt’s blue complexion would revert to a cold and pale state. However, Lilly knew that this could not go on forever.

Her Master had been urging her, pushing her towards a decision.

The weather grew colder, and the first snowfall of winter arrived late. Darkness enveloped the surroundings rapidly. Anthony’s car awaited them at the foot of the desolate mountain, its headlights illuminating the snowflakes that danced like elves in the night.

The interior of the car offered comforting warmth. Josh leaned against the window, gazing at the desolate mountain, and inquired, “What if my mother accidentally slips and falls in the snow?”

Lilly reassured him, saying, “Don’t worry, Aunt Lisa can bend her knees, she can walk steadily,”

Drake’s expression remained blank as he stared down at the tablet in his hands.

Suddenly, Anthony spoke up, breaking the silence. “Lilly, we can’t keep Lisa any longer, can we?”

Lilly felt disheartened and replied, “Uncle Anthony, how did you know?”

Anthony looked at her, realizing that everything was written on her face. It was not just him; everyone could see it.

Lately, the old lady had been doing her best to stuff Lisa with food, afraid that she wouldn’t have a meal on her journey.

Lilly held the heat pad tightly in her arms and spoke in a hushed tone, “Master said that Aunt Lisa is already dead, but she’s still here. So, we can only send her away or kill her,”
