Chapter 251 Meeting or Not Is a Choice, Not a Result

The water bed broke, and water spurted from a hole. Lilly’s paints on the bedside table were all swept

off, and there were all kinds of colors in an instant, and the carpet on the floor was all wet and a mess.

Lilly, Hannah, Zachary, and Josh lay on the bed with dazed faces. They were all wet. The quilts and the

pillows were also wet.

The wire socket was short–circuited, and smoke burst out instantly.

Polly woke up from sleeping. It fluttered about in fright and yelled, “Help, it’s on fire!”

The Crawford Mansion was plunged into darkness.

Drake was speechless.

Half a minute later, the backup power supply was activated, and the electrician rushed to repair it.

Bettany caught up and felt her blood pressure rise when she saw the mess in the room.

“Who did this?” Bettany was pissed off. Several children lowered their heads. They dared not to speak.

Lilly raised her hand cautiously. “Granny, it’s my idea.”

Hannah quickly said, “I also did it!”

Josh stood up. “I did these.”

“I got involved,” Zachary said.

Drake was silent, then said, “Granny, I made the water bed. It’s my fault.”

Drake, who did nothing, admitted the mistake for his younger siblings.

Bettany stared at them. “Go to stand outside! Wait, change your clothes first!”

The children changed their clothes and stood obediently against the wall while holding the water basin

on their heads.

When Anthony and Blake came over, they saw the children standing pitifully in the corridor with basins

on their heads.

Jean could not help but laugh when she saw that. She recalled the scene when Bettany punished her

for standing. All her brothers accompanied her.

She did not expect that she could see such a scene again. Mom is the most powerful!

Blake asked amusedly, “What’s wrong? Did you all take the circuit board apart?”

-Lilly answered honestly, “No! We only made a water bed. We rolled on it, and it broke…”

Hannah said innocently, “Then, the water poured into the socket…”

Zachary looked indifferent. “Then, the whole circuit short–circuited and burned.”

Josh said, “The water bed I made isn’t strong enough… I know it! I might use the wrong material.”

Hannah said,

think the seal ish

Lilly said, “I think I’m too heavy! And we shouldn’t be rolling around.”

A few children discussed why the water bed broke and concluded their experience. Even if standing

with basins, the punishments could not make their mouths shut.

Bettany gritted her teeth and glared at Anthony and Blake. “What water bed? What rolls around? How

do they know these?”

Anthony and Blake froze.

Bettany scolded, “What have you guys taught Lilly outside? Go stand there!”

Anthony and Blake did not dare to speak. As a result, two tall figures appeared in the group of children.

The children blinked and looked at Blake and Anthony curiously. They felt strange. Why did Blake and

Anthony get punishments too?

Jean almost lost her breath from laughing, and Pablo’s mouth never stopped twitching.

Polly stood by the window while shaking its head. “Caw…”

Afterward, Bettany promised to buy the children a water bed. But the children could only play during the

day to avoid catching a cold.

Lilly learned another lesson from this incident. If she made a mistake, she would be punished. It would

not work if Blake or Anthony came. Bettany had the highest status in this family, and no one could

mess with Bettany!

Jean looked at the scenes and felt warm. It was full of happiness and joy. It was too bad that she could

no longer participate in it!

The children had the summer vacation, and All Souls Day was less than two months away.

Jean had been hesitating whether to see Bettany or to live with them for a while.

Jean wished to bid farewell to them, but she was even more afraid that after getting along, Bettany

would face parting again, and the life that had finally calmed down would be turbulent again.

“Maybe it’s the best,” Jean murmured.

The happier the Crawford family was, the less she should have met them. So she kept trying to

separate herself and make them no longer remember her.

At night, Lilly temporarily shared a room with Hannah. Bettany came over to check and found Hannah

was asleep, but Lilly’s eyes were still open.

Bettany asked, “What are you thinking?” She began to regret if the punishments she gave were too

severe.

However, she heard Lilly ask, “Granny, do you miss Mommy?”

Just now, she saw Jean smiling but looked a little lost.

Lilly knew that Jean did not want Bettany to be sad, so she did not dare to see Bettany again. Will

Granny want to see Mommy again?

Bettany stroked Lilly’s head and felt distressed. “Do you miss your mommy? I miss your mommy too,

but. it’s okay. Your mommy will always live in our hearts…”

Lilly looked at Bettany. “Granny, do you want to see Mommy?”

Bettany smiled. She did not answer whether she wanted to see Jean. “Let’s sleep.”

Bettany was getting old. When she died, she should be able to see Jean. So it did not matter whether

to see Jean. It was more important to make Lilly have a good life.

Lilly pursed her lips. Jean was about to go to reincarnation. No one would see Jean in the future, but

Jean only met Anthony. Mommy and Granny seem to be terrified of seeing each other. I wonder why.

Lilly could not understand the complex emotions of the adults, so she gradually closed her eyes and fell

asleep. Hannah also turned around while snoring.

Bettany smiled. She covered the children with a thin quilt, adjusted the air conditioner, and went out.

Jean stood at the door and could not help but murmur, “Mom…”

Bettany did not see anything but got a strange feeling again. She murmured, “Jean, I know you must

be here. You’ve been here all along, right? As long as I know this, that’s enough.”

She did not expect to see Jean. She only hoped that everyone was well. That was enough.

Looking at Bettany, Jean suddenly figured it out. Meeting or not was a choice, not a result.
