Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 1271

Chapter 1271 His Spirit Returned

Cloud looked at his family in front of him. His parents were concerned about him, and his brothers had a hint of mischief in their eyes.

It was like they were saying, “You’re finally grown up now, and you’ve grown to be a fine. young man!”

Tears welled up in Cloud’s eyes.

He stood in attention and saluted his parents.

He owned his parents too much. Fortunately for him, his brothers were at home to accompany them.

“Thank you, Dad, Mom,” he choked.

He turned to his brothers and said, “Thank you, my elder brothers, for taking care of Mom

and Dad.”

Gilbert said, “Tsk, you missed me!”

Cloud put his saluting hand down and smiled. “No, I haven’t missed you. It’s just that you’re the youngest, and we’re used to taking care of you.”

“Don’t look down on me, heh,” Gilbert said.

Hugh was moved. It was the first time he saw his son in uniform. Tears were threatening to spill from his eyes, but he didn’t want to show his soft side in front of his children. He assumed a stern face and said, “Don’t worry about us, Cloud. You’ve already devoted yourself to the country. You should take care of yourself.”

“Yes, you don’t have to worry about us. We’re all fine. You should take care of yourself,” Bettany said. “Didn’t you say you’re only coming home after Christmas? Why did suddenly come back? Anthony could’ve picked you up at the airport.”

Cloud took the hot towel and wiped his face. “It’s fine, I can come back myself.”

He wanted to say, “Anthony is always busy with his wife. I don’t have the heart to disturb. them, but he noticed Anthony and Lisa glaring at him.

“Things are pretty bad there. They wanted to bring us back after Christmas, but luckily we made it in time,” he said, changing the topic.

Cloud handed the hot towel to Zachary. “Alright, I’m going to eat! I’m so hungry!”

“I hope you ate something on your way back here,” Bettany said. She patted the stray snowflakes on Cloud’s hair. “You must’ve been so cold outside. Why didn’t you come in straight away? You’re not a child anymore.”

She took Cloud’s hand. It was slightly warm to the touch.

Bettany breathed a sigh of relief.

Cloud had wrapped his hands with the hot towel earlier. The warmth was not going to last for very long, but it was long enough to fool his mother.

He patted the back of Bettany’s hand while his palm was still warm.

Zachary held the towel in his hands tightly.

It was already as cold as the snow outside.

Without showing any reaction, he walked away with the towel.

Anthony pressed his lips together. He understood…

Cloud sacrificed himself. Only his noble spirit returned…

He tried his best to suppress his emotions and held Jean’s hand tightly with trembling fingers.

Lilly gave Jean the power. She should also know that Cloud is…

Bettany brought a bowl of chicken soup for Cloud. “Here, have a bowl of chicken soup to warm the body!”

Lilly returned to her chair and said, “Granny, you should let Uncle Cloud taste the chicken I brought!”

The King of Styx nodded and said, “That’s right! That’s no regular chicken. You don’t get to eat something so exquisite every day!”

He grabbed the drumstick on his plate and gave it a huge bite.

The free-range chicken in the underworld is delicious, but the chicken in the Human Realm tastes really good too!

Bettany nodded. “That’s right.”

Cloud’s appetite was half of Lilly’s. If she fed him too much food, he wouldn’t be able to eat dessert.

Margaret took a bowl from the cabinet and handed it to Bettany, who filled it halfway with

soup.

Cloud gulped down the soup made from underworld chicken, then finished the other bowl of soup made from normal chicken.

“Phew! That was amazing!” he said.

The normal chicken soup tasted like home, but the underworld chicken soup seemed to bring warmth to his ice-cold body, as though something was recovering.

“Mm, can I have seconds?” Cloud said.

Bettany took the bowl and said, “You shouldn’t drink so much soup. Have some meat first!”

Liquids should go in last. It was best to fill the stomach with solids first.

Bettany put a “chicken drumstick” the size of a lamb shank on his plate.

“Eat up! If it’s not enough, let me know!” she said.

Suddenly, she noticed that Jean seemed to be crying. She said, “Huh? What’s wrong, Jean?”

Several people in the dining hall became nervous when they heard that.
