Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Lilly's uncles were dumbfounded.

When Lilly uttered the words "I'm hungry," the old lady's eyes fluttered open! For a brief moment, the uncles could not discern their own emotions, but their astonishment was palpable.

Edward rushed off in a panic to find a doctor.

Gilbert stepped examined Bettany, while Anthony hastily ordered someone to fetch some food, just in case.

Hugh grasped the old lady's other hand firmly, stopping her from trying to get up.

"Don't move! Lie down!"

"Mom, please don’t try to get up."

Gilbert pressed down on Bettany's shoulders urgently.She took a deep breath and spoke in a slower tone, "You're injured and shouldn't exert yourself."

Bettany's gaze appeared clouded as she looked at her surroundings, realizing that she was in a hospital.

Suddenly, a sharp pain surged from her chest, causing her brows to furrow and making it difficult to catch her breath.

Enduring the pain, she took a deep breath, even breathing caused her discomfort.

Yet she did not forget that Lilly said she was hungry.

"There's so many people around...you should...prepare food for the children..." Bettany's voice was feeble.

"Children are ignorant...adults should know better..."

Gilbert's eyes welled up with tears as he responded in a gentle tone, "Mom, don't worry.Lilly was just playing for too long, and we've already prepared food.I'll feed her right away."

He did not dare to mention that Lilly had also been in a coma for two days as they were afraid Bettany would be furious.

To his surprise, the old lady refused to let it slide.

"You should...keep an eye out for them...even if they're playing..."

"And you...why are you grinning?"

The old lady glanced at Hugh.

"They forgot about it and you didn't remind them...You're so old...!"

Upon hearing her nagging, Hugh could not help but burst into laughter.

Although Lilly's master said that the old lady's life force had not been depleted, lying down and not getting up could also be considered as such.He was truly afraid, afraid that he would never have the chance to hear his wife's scolding again...
