Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Lilly held onto Bettany's hand tightly, refusing to leave her side until her grandmother woke up.She drew a circle around her bed
so that no ghosts or monsters could get close to Bettany.She was busy making protective charms, charms that repel malignant
spirits, and amulets every day.She made sure that everyone she loved had their pockets and clothes filled with protective
charms.
However, she regretted not making more amulets for her grandmother.
Feeling that her amulets were not strong enough, Lilly decided to use the piece of jade she had brought back to the Crawford
Mansion.She carefully cut it into large-sized pieces and ground the beads to create strings of jade beads for protection.
The creation of spiritual tools is distinct from amulets, belonging to a separate realm of spiritual objects.
The scarcity of spiritual tools stemmed from the demanding requirements of their materials.
For instance, crafting a spiritual tool might need extremely cold iron that has been frozen for thousands of years.
This extraordinary iron possessed a chilling essence, allowing it to maintain its coldness even in the hottest of environments.
In certain cases, spiritual tools may require the roots of a thousand- year-old tree or the skin of a snake that lived for thousands
of years.
The jade she had was of the purest quality.
It could only be made into the lowest level of protection, but Lilly knew it was the best she could work with.
She gave everyone the jade bracelets, including Anthony.He looked at the pure purple jade bead on his wrist and asked, "What's
this?"
Lilly, who was looking down, focused on making more jade beads, and replied, "It's a spiritual tool to keep you safe.Uncle
Anthony, please take care of it, and don't take it off even when you bathe or sleep."
Anthony nodded solemnly, "Alright."
However, he noticed Lilly's trembling fingertips and frowned, "Lilly, are you okay?"
Lilly looked up, her lips trembling as she tried to force a smile.

She responded, "Uncle Anthony, Lilly is fine.I just didn't sleep well."
Anthony felt that this was not the case, so he firmly gripped her hand from grinding the jade beads.
Only then did he notice that there were multiple talismans wrapped around her hands.
One of the talismans fell off, revealing Lilly's bloody fingers.
It turned out that when Lilly rubbed those jade beads, not only did she grind her fingers to pieces, but she also exhausted herself
mentally because the making of spiritual tools required her blood so it would be effective.
She was afraid of her father and uncles knowing about this and hid her bloody fingers using talismans.
Feeling overwhelmed, Anthony removed the talisman.
Anthony's heart raced, and he hastily grabbed her hand, pleading, "Lilly, please stop!"
Lilly's complexion was pale, and it was only after the talisman fell off that Anthony and the others noticed her bloodless lips.
Struggling to muster a reassuring smile, she whispered, "I'm alright, don't worry..."
Before losing consciousness, she repeatedly whispered to Anthony, "Lilly drew circles around Granny's room..."
"also drew a circle around the Crawford Mansion..."
"Around Uncle Anthony's office, the car..."
"Please don't remove the bracelet..."
As everyone gazed at Lilly, who was incredibly exhausted and tears welled up in their eyes.
Their precious little one...
They wanted nothing more than to shield her from harm.
But they felt utterly helpless.
At times, they contemplated taking Edward's advice by ending their lives.
Perhaps they could help Lilly if they became ghosts.

However, after thinking about it, they realized that if they were to die, they might not be able to remain by Lilly's side, just like
what happened to Jean...
They were going to be reincarnated.
The first bracelet for protection and the initial batch of amulets made by Lilly were intended for Blake.
After receiving them, Blake looked for Cloud in a hurry.
Lilly had used up too much energy and ended up sleeping for two days after losing consciousness, and Bettany had remained
unconscious during this time as well.
As the sky darkened, the lights were switched on.
When Lilly regained consciousness, she felt dizzy.
She glanced outside, then at the ceiling lights, and shielded her eyes with her hands.
Anthony entered the room and greeted her with a warm tone, "Lilly, are you awake?"
The doctor recommended keeping the lights on in order to make it look like it was daytime as Lilly had not gotten up for two days
and it would help her wake up.
Lilly had gone without eating for two days and had received nutrition through injections, but the first words she uttered upon
waking up were, "Is Granny awake?"
Anthony could not bear it, yet he still shook his head.
Gilbert and Edward, who had rushed over, felt distressed upon hearing Lilly's words.
She had been in a coma for two days, yet her thoughts remained focused on her grandmother! Lilly got out of bed and staggered
towards Bettany.
Anthony supported her without hesitation.
Both of them were in the same hospital, sharing the same wards.
Lilly quickly lay down beside Bettany, softly calling out, "Granny..."

Bettany remained motionless.
Lilly sniffled, then pouted, and said with a sense of grievance, "Granny, Lilly's hungry..."
Upon hearing these words, all her uncles could not help but turn their faces away and cried.
However, nobody expected they would hear Bettany's voice, "Hungry? Lilly's...hungry?"
it was as faint as a mosquito's buzz! Everyone heard it! Gilbert and the others turned their heads in astonishment, their gaze
fixed on the hospital bed.
Lilly, too, was taken aback for a moment before urgently exclaiming, "Granny? Granny!"
Bettany's eyelashes quivered as she used every ounce of her strength.
Finally, with a tremendous effort, she managed to open her eyes.
"Lilly's hungry...Granny will...make...delicious food for...Lilly..."
Bettany's lips trembled.
Having spent several days bedridden without food or water, relying solely on nutrient solutions, her lips were often moistened
with water by Margaret, yet the thirst persisted, leaving her voice unbelievably hoarse.
She struggled, still unaware of her condition, simply thinking that she had overslept and failed to prepare food, and struggled to
get up as if she was going to cook for Lilly...
Lilly burst into tears instantaneously, crying out, "Granny!"
