But she couldn’t help but feel excited. She really wanted to see her mother here…
All of a sudden, Hugh’s eyes filled with tears.
The other brothers were also silent, their heads turned to look outside, their fists clenched tightly.
Gilbert cradled Lilly in his arms and whispered softly, “Lilly, it’s time to sleep. You can see your mother in your dreams when you fall asleep…”
Lilly murmured in agreement, her tears silently streaming down her cheeks as she nestled in Gilbert’s embrace.
Uncle Gilbert is lying too.
She had fallen asleep countless times, but she had never dreamt of her mother even once.
Unbeknownst to Lilly, she had drifted off to sleep. A faint glow emanated from the red string encircling her wrist, barely noticeable unless one paid close attention.
In her dream, Lilly felt a warm sensation enveloping her body, as if basking in the sunlight. She felt incredibly light, almost as if she could soar through the air…
Surrounded by fluffy white clouds resembling cotton candy, Lilly cautiously reached out, plucked a small piece, and placed it in her mouth. Her eyes sparkled with delight.
It was also sweet!
A gentle and familiar voice called out from behind her, “Lilly…”
Lilly’s eyes widened, and she turned around to see her mother standing not far away. Her mother gazed at her with teary eyes.
“Mommy!”
Lilly rushed over and was embraced tightly by her mother.
Jean tenderly caressed her little head and whispered, “From now on, Lilly, Grandpa and all your uncles will be your family. You must live a happy life, alright?”
Tears streamed down Lilly’s cheeks as she obediently replied, “Yes, Mommy. I will.”
Jean continued, “Grandma is also in poor health. Can you help me take care of Grandma?”
Lilly nodded vigorously, struggling to hold back her tears.
I will. I will definitely take care of Grandma.
Jean smiled. She was about to say more, but her figure began to glow faintly and fade away.
“I love you, Lilly. I will always love you!”
Lilly called out to her mother in her slumber, her face drenched in tears…
Hugh and the Crawford brothers stood around Lilly’s bed, filled with sorrow as they witnessed the little girl crying for her mother in her sleep.
Unbeknownst to them, another presence, Pablo, was also there with Lilly. Pablo gently touched her forehead and the red string on her wrist.
In an instant, Lilly’s face brightened with a small smile.
“Hey, I’ve fulfilled my debt to your mother now…”
…
The plane landed at Clodston International Airport.
Hugh exchanged a meaningful glance with Gilbert when he noticed that Lilly was still asleep. Gilbert carefully picked her up and prepared to leave, maintaining a bent posture to avoid waking her.
The parrot swayed and cried out, “Kidnapper! Kidnapper!”
Lilly’s eyes immediately opened.
The Crawfords were left speechless.
They stood in silence, their gaze fixed on the beautiful parrot with its vibrant green feathers.
Finally, they understood why it had learned the phrase “bird stew.”
Lilly blinked her glazed eyes, her hair slightly disheveled, and clutched a small stuffed rabbit in her arms. She looked incredibly adorable.
The strongest bond was between Gilbert and Jean. Seeing Lilly in this state reminded him of Jean as a child.
His heartstrings were tugged. He embraced Lilly, gently rubbing her head, and said, “Darling, we have arrived in Clodston. We are heading home now.”
Lilly, still dazed, nodded blankly.
The Crawfords’ car was already waiting outside the airport, and the four neatly parked Rolls-Royce Extended cars caught the attention of passers-by.
“Oh my God! Take a picture now, hurry!”
“Who is this car picking up? Such a grand display!”
Eight tall men, led by an elderly gentleman, emerged as the crowd buzzed with excitement.
One of the men held a small child in his arms. The young child clutched a small stuffed rabbit while wearing a white princess dress.
A green parrot perched on the shoulder of the man next to her.
The parrot sang loudly, “Uh-oh. I couldn’t help myself; I’m almost at your house again, again!”
Everyone fell silent.
Something seemed… a little off!
The eight men’s faces darkened as they quickly climbed into the long, luxurious car that slowly pulled away from the airport, carrying the adorable little girl.
“Wow! Who is this precious princess?”
“I’m so envious! I am also a human like her. How did she get so lucky to be reincarnated into a wealthy family?”
While taking pictures with her phone, a woman who appeared to be an internet celebrity exclaimed, “Fans! Today, we have learned so much! Four Rolls-Royces Extended! Do you have any idea how much one of these cars costs? It’s at least eight million dollars! What kind of family is this…”
Lilly leaned against the window of the luxury car, her gaze fixed on the skyscrapers outside.
Her father had brought her there before when it was still called South Town. There were many tall buildings, but none as tall as the skyscrapers in front of her.
“Uncle Gilbert, is this Mommy’s princess castle?” Lilly asked, turning her head and leaning closer to Gilbert.
Gilbert became emotional as he nodded and said, “Yes, this is your Mommy’s princess castle.”
They had once wanted to buy an island and build a private castle for their beloved sister.
However, those opportunities were lost.
However…
Gilbert gazed at Lilly for a long moment, and the pain in his heart began to subside.
The car soon arrived at Crawford Mansion.
This mansion was located in a picturesque lake area in the city center, surrounded by beautiful scenery and nestled in a tranquil neighborhood.
Lilly, still a three-and-a-half-year-old child, no matter how intelligent she was, couldn’t help but show shock on her little face as she looked at the mansion before her.
Is this where Mommy grew up?
The expansive lawn was adorned with numerous flowers. Would she be able to catch a glimpse of her mother if she ran as fast as she could across the lawn?
Two rows of servants stood on either side of the mansion, smiling. “Little Missy, welcome home!”
Hugh and Anthony walked ahead, speaking softly.
