Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 170

Blake sat on the sofa, Lilly squatting in front of him to inspect his foot.

All that could be seen was the purple-green handprint on his ankle had only deepened, as if it was rotting.

Lilly took out the paper amulet and set it on fire. She then filled up half a bucket of water, scattering the ashes into the water and stirring everything together with the wooden sword.

She picked up Blake’s foot, submerging it into the bucket as she washed it with the amulet water. “O’ stinky foot, O’ Daddy’s stinky foot, it’s so stinky and stinks everywhere..”

Blake chuckled lightly.

His feet did not stink!

As the water splashed onto the purple-green handprint, Blake felt a slight stinging pain on his foot as the handprint on his ankle began to fade.

Within no time, the bucket of water had turned black.

“Whoa, this is a big one!” Lilly exclaimed. “You didn’t get pulled down, Dad! You’re awesome!”

Blake was speechless.

He did not know if his darling girl was praising him, or the demon that had tried to harm him.

Lilly headed for the bathroom with the bucket, pouring the water down the toilet. After flushing it down, she filled another half-bucket of water.

After repeating this twice, Blake’s foot finally went back to normal. Lilly took off the robe she was wearing, and tied it to his feet.

Blake took in the sight of his busy little bee. The kid meant serious business, diligent in washing his feet and wiping them dry with the robe.

A strange emotion rose in his chest— he was touched. He had never thought that he would have such a caring, kind daughter one day.

“All done!” Lilly clapped her hands. “You can’t take the robe off all night, Dad.”

Blake nodded, reaching out and hoisting Lilly into his lap. “Thank you, Lilly. That looked hard.”

Lilly hugged Blake’s neck, planting a slobbery kiss on his cheek. “Don’t worry about it!”

Her tone was soft, her eyes big and black as they blinked.

She then hopped out of his grasp to the side, bouncing up and down the bead before landing on her back and patting the space next to her.

“Come on, Daddy! Let’s lie down!” she said.

Blake chuckled to himself, getting up and lying next to Lilly.

Lilly stretched her legs out for a while, raising them into the air and catching her feet with her hands.

After doing this for a while, Blake turned around and saw that she had fallen asleep.

Blake put a blanket over her, tapping her on the nose. “Goodnight, my darling.”

The incident about the three girls drowning in the river had become a hot topic online overnight, especially the middle-aged lady’s line, “I didn’t ask you to save me!”.

“Three girls drowned in the river. Man jumps into the river to save them. The girl’s mom responded, “I didn’t ask you to save me!”

“Young girl drowns in river and body cannot be found, mother curses rescuer, “You should be dead!”

“Three girls drowned at the same time, one of them missing. Mother screams at rescuer, “Why didn’t you save my daughter first!”

The titles were getting more and more scandalous, attracting a flock of onlookers. They all seemed to be angered by the situation, leaving a slew of angry comments cursing out the mother.

The comment section grew, boosting the incident’s popularity and putting it on the radar of national broadcast stations.

Harvard, who had been worrying about how to gain popularity, saw this as a golden opportunity to follow this hot topic.

He made many videos commentating on the matter, criticizing the mother for her skewed values. And yet…

There were too many creators talking about this. He was no match at all.

The likes he got may have been higher compared to other videos, but they never passed a thousand. The playback only reached twenty to thirty thousand.
