When Lisa moved, her speed was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Anthony had used the fastest speed but could only touch her sleeve.
As a result, he threw himself on the ground, and Lisa, who was about to fall, somersaulted.
“Look, I’m fine!” She stood up straight like a gymnast, and her expression was excited.
Anthony pressed his eyebrows. His heart was beating fast, and his head was buzzing.
He said, “Okay, let’s go back overnight.”
It was only four days before Lilly left, which meant that Lisa should have given birth before Monday because Lilly
would not go away on the day of Lisa’s giving birth.
It was better to go back earlier. Anthony felt scared when Lisa moved dangerously.
Knowing that Lilly was home, Lisa probably could not sleep at night. So they took the plane to fly back to Clodston
overnight.
…
Lilly got up in the morning, only to see Lisa squatting at the door, and she was startled.
She was surprised. “Aunt Lisa?”
Lisa wanted to hug Lilly up like always. Lilly quickly stopped Lisa. “Aunt Lisa, you can’t hug me now!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLisa was dissatisfied. “Why!”
Lilly said solemnly, “Because I’ve grown up and become heavier. It’s inconvenient for you to hug me now.”
Lisa pouted. She thought Lilly was not heavy. No matter how old Lilly was, she was still a child.
Why is it inconvenient? I’m convenient anytime.
Bettany shouted from downstairs, “Come down for breakfast!”
Lisa was guarding Lilly’s room early in the morning, and Bettany felt helpless.
I haven’t seen Lisa for three months, but her belly is only that big. It should be nine months now. Although others
have said that pregnancy lasts ten months, pregnant women generally give birth at around nine months.
Bettany felt worried. Lisa’s belly was not up to par!
“Come on! Eat more!” Bettany served Lisa soup. “You’re not at home during pregnancy. I haven’t taken good care
of you.”
Lisa’s belly should get bigger if she stays home the whole pregnancy.
Josh asked, “Granny, Mom’s belly is still small. Is the baby malnourished?”
Lilly said, “Maybe the baby is big.”
Hannah nodded in agreement.
Josh suddenly said, “Lilly, maybe you can bring more souvenirs…”
Zachary interrupted, “I’m speechless. You want to take advantage of Lilly.”
Josh was also speechless. “What are you thinking about? I’m worried about my younger brother!” How can Zac
think of me like that?
Lisa’s belly did not look like nine months, but seven months. Josh wondered whether his younger brother or sister
had grown up.
Hannah interrupted, “Maybe it’s a younger sister! There are so many boys in our family. We should have a younger
sister! Aunt Lisa, give birth to a younger sister!”
Anthony picked up the food in silence. Lilly’s plate was full of food. There was no chance for him to pick food for
her.
So he picked food for Lisa. He chose fish and chicken and even picked out the fishbone, lest it get stuck in her
throat if she ate the fish carelessly. What if she coughed the baby out of her belly when she coughed too hard?
Edward shouted, “I’m full! Lilly, I’m going to work!”
Lilly waved. “Goodbye, Uncle Edward!”
…
On weekends, the Crawford family was intensively preparing supplies for the newborn. They bought things of any
color that both boys and girls could wear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTaking advantage of the sun, Bettany cut off the tags from the newborn’s clothes and washed them. Lilly hung
clothes with Bettany.
Bettany said, “Clothes need to be in the sun to liven.”
Lilly nodded. “That’s right! There’s positive energy and vitality!” She took the clothes hanger to hang the clothes on
the clothesline.
Bettany nagged, “Many wealthy families like to dry clothes with equipment. They dry after washing and then
sterilize. They have a bunch of laundry equipment at home. There are separate laundry rooms, disinfection rooms,
and dry cleaning rooms. It seems shameful for them to dry clothes with the clothes hanger.”
Lilly could not help but laugh. “Granny, do they know you talk about them behind their backs?”
Bettany smiled. “I didn’t say anything bad about them. I was talking about hanging the clothes.”
They talked and laughed, and soon the clothes hangers were full of baby clothes.
“Where’s Aunt Lisa?” Lilly felt strange that Aunt Lisa had not come to her.
Bettany said, “Anthony took her to the hospital to make an appointment for an antenatal ward.”
Lilly nodded. “Alright!”
At this moment, Bettany’s phone suddenly rang.
