Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 43

Pablo smirked and speechlessly asked, “Did you really stay there and wait the whole time?”

Lilly bobbed her head. “Yeah.”

She was a good girl and stood on the boxy bricked floor without wandering off.

Nevertheless, Daddy had forgotten about her in the end…

With the smile on her face fading, Lilly softly asked, “Daddy was trying to get rid of me, right?”

She knew the moment Daddy walked around without looking back that she was ditched.

Daddy did not want her anymore.

She stood there for a long time. Although there were people all around, Lilly had no idea where to go.

Pablo had no words.

Heh… She’s a fool.

“Next time, just write the person out of your life if they don’t want you. Tulip, just keep in mind that the people who abandon you don’t deserve forgiveness. He isn’t worth your tears.”

Lilly innocently nodded her head, and a smile soon lit her face.

The child’s emotions were like temperamental weather.

Maybe Lilly was stronger than before. She had the love of her uncles and grandparents, so the hurt and pain in the past did not matter anymore.

“Master, please teach me medicine! I know doctors don’t get taken away. They even go on TV.”

Pablo had a facepalm moment. Did everything to her involve getting taken away?

“Go on TV?” He casually remarked.

Lilly immediately imitated an advertisement she had seen on TV.

“After careful consideration, I made an unthinkable decision. I plan to reveal the secret of my family…

“I am the descendant of the miracle healer, the great-grandson of a famous doctor. I hold the key to my single family secret that could heal and cure everything and anything.

“Here I have a drug that does wonders to your headache, toothache, backache, leg ache, indigestion, stomachache, loss of appetite, chesty cough, asthma, kidney failure, and impotence. You name it, I got the drug for it.”

Pablo had no words, to say the least.

Lilly asked, “Isn’t it awesome? It was on TV. By the way, what’s impotence?”

Speechless, Pablo made something up. “Impotence is when you can’t get up in the morning.”

Lilly had an aha moment.

She got it. The drug must be an extra something to help people get up in the morning.

“That’s awesome!” Lilly gave a look of aspiration.

Pablo was at a loss for words.

What’s with that look on your face? What do you know?

He remarked, “Yeah, right. Do you know these people will be put away too?”

Lilly was dumbstruck.

Huh?

Was this a cause to be locked up too?

What was Pablo trying to teach her? Why was everything a reason to be taken away?

Nevertheless, she was ready to do it… for Granny!

Pablo could already tell by the look on her face what was going through her head.

He gave up on explaining further.

“Talking about medicine, the practice goes way back…” Pablo started his lesson.

Lilly listened intently as Pablo blabbered on.

He cocked his head back to find Lilly asleep.

“Snore… Snore…”

Pablo was lost for words.

He was talking to himself the whole time.

Sitting not too far away, Bettany cheerfully took in the scenery and looked at Lilly.

The little sweetheart chatted with the parrot for a long time until she dozed off.

Feeling for the young child, she whispered and got someone to carry Lilly into the tent.

Gilbert tiptoed his way over and asked in disbelief, “Is she asleep?”

The girl had a lot of fun. She was so alive and bubbly a moment ago, and now she was out.

Bettany said with a smile, “She must be tired from all that running around.”

On the other corner, Hannah was watching the barbecue grill with her father, Liam.
