Lilly heard Matthan crying and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
Matthan reached out to Lilly with tears and shouted, "Lillillilli!"
Lilly took him and held him in her arms.
"Matt doesn't want to leave!" Lilly looked at Drake. "Drake, can Matt sleep with me?"
Drake, Josh, and Zachary said in unison, "No!"
Matthan choked.
Lilly was confused. "Why not? He cried and didn't want to leave..."
There were tears on Matthan's soft and tender face, and his eyes were reddish from crying. Lilly had never cared for a baby before, and Matthan was her little brother. She was naturally reluctant to let him go.
Drake looked calm. "He's a boy. How can he sleep with you?"
Josh echoed, "That's right! There are differences between boys and girls!"
Zachary nodded. “Agree!”
Hannah followed suit. "That's right. It's better not to sleep together."
She was a girl and wanted to sneak over and sleep with Lilly at night. Matthan would block her way!
Matthan suddenly felt aggrieved and burst into tears. He was only a baby. There was no difference between boys and girls! Babies had no gender!
The poor baby looked at Lilly whimpering. Lilly did not know what to do for a while.
Drake narrowed his eyes and told Matthan, "You can keep crying, but Granny will be here later."
As expected, Bettany was at the top of the Crawford family. As soon as Drake mentioned Bettany, Matthan stopped crying.
Lilly searched the ring and found a wind chime with a doll hanging underneath.
With a gentle shake, the wind chimes tinkled, crisp and pleasant.
Matthan's eyes lit up. His gift! Lilly's ring was indeed a treasure chest!
Lilly put the wind chime in his hand. "This is for you. Go to bed now! Don't cry!"
She kissed Matthan's face affectionately and rubbed it. Matthan held up the wind chime and smiled happily, the tears on his face not drying yet.
Drake hugged Matthan and said, "Lilly, go to sleep too!"
Everyone said good night to each other and went back to their rooms.
After Zachary and Josh returned to the room, they still compared each other on WhatsApp.
Josh took various photos of the bag of holding and sent them to Zachary. "Mine looks better! Bright blue is so lively! Your dark green is ugly!"
Zachary also took a photo and sent it to Josh. "Mature boys like this color. You're different."
Josh changed the topic. "Drake got two gifts! Vision Eye Drops and a necklace! That necklace isn't ordinary. I feel a strange pressure!"
Zachary replied, "That pressure is indeed different. I feel it's mysterious."
Josh said, "Drake looked happy when he received the necklace but still pretended to be calm! I want to see him be embarrassed! I even want to see his reaction when he sees ghosts! Drake has seen ghosts before, but he hasn't seen them afterward. It's strange. Is it because he has grown up? Others say that children only can see ghosts when they're young. I want to see Drake make a fool of himself! Hahaha, he looks calm but must be panicking!"
"I took a screenshot."
"Hey, you cheat! Do you dare to fight with me?"
"I sent the screenshot to Drake."
Josh was speechless.
Crawford Mansion fell silent while Hannah's door suddenly opened.
