Chapter 284 Time to Say Goodbye
In the kitchen, Gilbert took a can of spices out of nowhere, and asked, “Mom, can we even use the spices? I think it’s been around for a year or two,”
Liam was looking for a bamboo basket, “Mom, where did you put the basket?”
Jonas diced the onion, ginger, and garlic for seasoning, but could not find the garlic, “Mom, are we out of garlic?”
Edward said loudly, “Mom, must the chicken bones be peeled off? It’s too difficult to peel them, can I just
chew it?”
Bryson, Max, and Cloud were dumbfounded outside the door.
However, they had not been home all year round and did not know where the things Jonas and the others. were looking for.
Bettany stared, “Get out of here, don’t annoy me anymore,”
Jean laughed.
She took out a basket from the left cabinet and took garlic from the top of it, and said, “You can’t have a spice that’s been here for many years. Mom bought new spices and threw out the old ones,”
Bettany’s back stiffened and stopped chopping.
Her eyes were red, and Lilly, who was holding an onion, raised her head in doubt and asked, “What’s wrong, Grandma?”
Bettany said with a smile, “It’s nothing, the onions are making me cry,”
Lilly picked the onion with her fingers curiously.
Were onions spicy? No!
How could onions make people cry?
Eventually, her nails tore through the onion, and a pungent smell rushed to her and Lilly’s eyes teared up.
“Ah… Onions do make my eyes hurt,” Lilly held the onion far away from her.
Seeing that Bettany was sad, everyone felt a little emotional.
They then heard Lilly crying and scolding the onion, which lightened the atmosphere.
Bettany quickly picked up the onion, “Kids shouldn’t touch onions, don’t touch your eyes after that, okay?”
Lilly said, “I already did!”
She was feeling hot just now, so she rubbed her eyes.
Lilly was now crying loudly.
Hannah ran quickly with a tissue, “Come here, I’ll wipe it for you!”
Josh held the towel, frowned, and said, “You can’t use dry tissue, you need to use a wet towel!”
Jean felt that it was funny. She held Lilly’s hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll help you wash your eyes,”
The atmosphere was wholesome after Jean appeared.
After helping Lilly wash her eyes, the children caused trouble in the kitchen. No, they were helping out in
the kitchen…
Jean stood outside the door and said softly, “Bryson,”
It was great that her daughter was Little Hades and she was able to let her reunite with her family.
She was afraid that Pablo would be held responsible for this. So, she practiced with the old guys in the underworld. Generally speaking, family members who passed away could not reunite with their families.
at all.
However, Pablo was annoyed and turned a blind eye since Hannah and Drake could not see her.
Bryson bit his lips for a moment, then gently touched Jean’s head, and said with a smile, “Long time no see. Jean.”
Jean smiled and said, “It’s been a while, Bryson!”
She looked to the side, “Cloud, are you done with your lithography machine yet? This is a top secret! You have to stay alert, agents seem to be attacked in peaceful times right?”
Cloud hummed, and smiled, “You still remember what I’m doing!”
Jean muttered, “Of course I do!”
Cloud hugged Jean tightly, “I think you’ve gained weight. Jean.”
Jean raised her arms proudly, “Right? I worked hard to keep my body in shape,”
Max laughed out loud.
They were going to have meatballs, buffalo wings, roasted lamb, and chicken feet for
Lilly was sweating and kept gasping for air as she ate.
She drank water while eating.
supper.
No one noticed Blake’s existence until he said speechlessly, “Don’t eat spicy food if you can’t handle the heat,”
Initially, he did not want to disturb the Crawford family’s reunion and felt that his existence was extra in that situation.
Lilly pulled him out.
After Lilly drank half a bottle of water, she looked at Blake strangely, “Why does spicy food hurt when you eat it but it gets better the more you eat it?”
Everyone thought that she was going to love spicy food in the future.
Blake fed her the chicken feet and gave her water. He added, “That’s because spice is a sense of touch and not a sense of taste so, it’s more addictive. Kids shouldn’t have too much spice,”
Lilly gnawed on the chicken feet, and asked again, “What’s wrong with being kids? Why can’t we have more spicy food?”
Bettany said with a smile. “You’ve never had spicy food before, try not to have a stomach ache after eating so much spice all at once,”
Edward chewed on the chicken feet, and added, “Not only does your stomach hurt, but you’ll hurt when you poop tomorrow,”
Lilly was stunned.
How scary!
Even if the spice hurt my mouth and her stomach, why couldn’t it spare my butt?
Lilly quickly put down the chicken feet, I’m not eating it, I don’t wanna eat it anymore!”
After a pause, she added, “I’ll eat it tomorrow!”
If her mother liked to eat them, she would help her enjoy them in the future!
Everyone laughed loudly, and it was already one or two o’clock in the night. All of them were reluctant to leave.
Jean had no regrets about her last farewell, She would have to go back after the clock struck twelve,
Jean stayed in Bettany’s room and talked to her for a long time, knowing that Bettany could not resist falling asleep, she got up quietly.
“Take care, Mom!” Jean said softly, “I’ll always love you,”
She looked at Hugh who had already fallen asleep, “Dad… Take care of your health and make Mom happy. I love you,”
“I’m going to reincarnate… Goodbye, Mom and Dad,”
Jean looked at them one last time and left.
After she left, Bettany cried. At this time, Hugh wiped her tears away.
Hugh murmured, “Everyone is bound to leave anyway,”
Initially, there was no hope of seeing each other again. However, they were able to bid her farewell.
It was good for them.
However, it was a pity that not many people had the time to say goodbye to their loved ones.
Every child has to move away from their parents when they grow up. Just consider Jean gone on a trip somewhere far.
When Jean went out, she saw eight of her brothers sitting silently downstairs.
Lilly was very sleepy, but she held her eyes open with her fingers.
“Uncle Anthony, I need to tape my eyes open,” Lilly’s sleepy voice was cute, and she was so sleepy that she could not keep her eyes open. She even insisted on using tape to stick his eyelids open.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her mother floating down.
Lilly opened her eyes all of a sudden, and threw herself into Jean’s arms, “Mom…are you leaving?”
Jean supported her little head lovingly, “You’d better be a good girl and listen to your Grandma and
Uncles,”
After a pause, she added, “Listen to your father too,”
Blake was leaning behind the door on the second floor. He bit his lips when he heard this.
