Seeing all this, Andrew smiled warmly. Then he looked down at the girl who was restless in his arms
and sighed slightly.
Wearing the thin pajamas, Andrew was afraid that she would catch a cold. He carefully picked her up
and whispered to Tina, "Aunt Tina, I take her to the bedroom."
Tina nodded, "Take her to my bedroom."
"Okay." Andrew held Lily and went upstairs.
Feeling that his body was moving, Lily suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw the person whom
she was familiar with, she closed her eyes again and even shrank into the arms of Andrew
Andrew smiled silently with doting eyes. He could feel that she was vigilant and she also depended on
him.
When they walked into the bedroom to the bedside, Andrew bent over and gently placed her on the
bed. When he was about to stand up, she grabbed his hand. "No..."
"I won't go." Patting her on the back with the other hand, he explained softly, "I just want to cover quilt."
"No, don't do that..." The dazed Lily didn't know what she was talking about or what she was doing.
She just didn't want the harbor which gave her a sense of security to leave, so she turned her body to
hold Andrew's whole arm.
Seeing her like this, Andrew felt sorry for her. He reached out to brush the hair in front of her face and
sighed slightly. Her frail appearance made people want to protect her under the wings.
After thinking for a while, he took off his shoes and lay beside her. Then he pulled the quilt over to
cover them.
Andrew lay on his side. As soon as he lay down, Lily, who was still sleepy, slipped into his arms. She
wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and buried her head in his chest.
He smiled and suddenly felt that it was good to have someone to rely on him like this.
He was so sleepy that he didn't sleep last night. Today he had just taken a nap, and then her condition
became like this. Fortunately, she was now relieved.
When Lily woke up again, it was already in the evening. What she saw when she opened her eyes was
a chest, and her hands were holding someone else's waist!
She was startled and let go of him immediately and sat up.
"You woke up?" Andrew was waken up by her action, and his voice was somewhat sleepy.
"Yes." Lily nodded and looked at them subconsciously. Then she found that their clothes were all right.
Andrew saw all her moves. He wanted to laugh, but he controlled himself.
"Are you feeling better?" He sat up and smoothed his hair.
Hearing that, Lily lowered her head and blushed. She finally remembered what had happened.
"Thank you." She thanked him in a low voice.
"Nothing." "You didn't let me go just now, so I had to sleep here with you," he said, patting her head
Andrew got out of bed as he spoke. "I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth. And my clothes is
not clean."
"Yes." Lily felt a little embarrassed and nodded.
He stood by the bed and looked at her for a while. He frowned unconsciously when he saw the red
mark on her neck and chest. But in order not to let her find him, he looked away immediately and then
turned and left.
After he left, Lily felt relieved. She felt embarrassed because she cried in his arms until she fell asleep.
Lily felt much better after venting her emotions. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom. The
bathroom was clean. The broken mirror had been moved away.
At this time, Tina came in with a dress in her hand.
"Mom." Lily asked when she saw her.
Tina smiled and handed the dress to her. "I bought it with Uncle Kerr in the afternoon. And I have put
the toiletries in the bathroom. Get familiar with it and have dinner downstairs."
"Okay." As soon as Lily took the clothes and saw the wound on Tina's hand, she felt guilty. "I'm sorry,
mom."
"Nothing." Tina smiled and caressed her face lovingly, "I'm happy to see you all right."
"Yes." Lily nodded with red eyes.
"I'm going downstairs first. Kerr is cooking porridge in the kitchen. You haven't eaten anything for a day.
It's good for your stomach."
Lily's eyes were filled with tears. The happiest thing in her life was to feel her mother's selfless and
fearless love.
After washing herself simply and changing her clothes, Lily went downstairs. As soon as she came to
the living room, she saw Kerr come out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge in his hands.
"That's good. Come here and have some porridge first."
She smiled and walked over, "Thank you, uncle Kerr."
"I've told you that you don't have to be so polite. Every time you say thanks to me, I feel very
embarrassed." He joked as he put the bowl of porridge in front of her.
"Sizz..." Lily couldn't help laughing. She liked his sense of humor very much. "Well, I'll say thank you
later, uncle."
"You naughty girl." He patted her head with a smile. "Have some porridge now. We'll have dinner when
Andrew come back."
"Is he out?" Lily asked.
"Yes." Kerr nodded, "I don't know why he went out. He said he would be back soon."
Lily nodded and then had porridge. She gave Kerr a thumbs up after she finished the congee and said,
"Nice cooking, uncle Kerr."
"Of course!" "This is specially made for you. I know you're a good cooker. If I cooked badly I won't cook
for you."
Hearing that, Lily smiled happily. She lowered her head and continued to eat the porridge. She ate the
porridge very seriously and felt very satisfied. She felt warm in her heart. Although they were not family,
they gave her a kind of warmth than the warmth at home. She even felt father's love.
Yes, she had never experienced such thing as father's love on her own father. Even if she had, it was
only superficial.
But he was different. He cared about her sincerely, and she saw what he had done.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Lily felt warm in her stomach and she became much more energetic.
In the kitchen, Kerr, wearing an apron, was cooking the last dish. In the living room, Tina was chatting
with Lily.
Because of her injured hand, she was carried out of the kitchen by Kerr and was not allowed to do
anything. Lily was deeply moved by his behavior.
After she removed the misunderstandings, she really thought Kerr was the perfect man in the world.
When Kerr put the last dish on the table, Andrew walked into the house. It seemed as if they had made
an agreement.
"You are back? Go wash your hands and come here for dinner. " Kerr set the table and said to Andrew.
"Okay." After saying that, Andrew walked in front of Lily and handed something in his hand to her. "Put
it on before you go to bed. You can wear it every morning and evening."
Lily was stunned. She looked at the little square bottle in front of her, and then looked at Andrew. "You
Are you going out to buy this for me?"
"Yes." "I asked someone to make this for me. It's good."
"Thank you." Lily accepted with a smile. She was deeply touched.
"Don't say that. It's his duty to help you." Kerr said and waved at her and Tina, "Come and have
dinner."
Andrew took a look at his father and seemed dissatisfied with him. After that, he went to the washroom
to wash his hands, and then returned to the dinner table.
Because of her right hand injury, Kerr had been taking care of her during the meal. During that time,
Kerr had been taking care of her and kept picking up food for her. If he was not worried about feeding
her, she would be very embarrassed. He would have done it himself, instead of fetching a spoon for
her.
The atmosphere between them was harmonious,.
After the dinner, Lily was about to clear the table but she was stopped by Kerr. "Put it down, Lily.
Andrew will do it. Go to rest."
"Uncle Kerr, I'm fine now." Lily said with a smile.
However, Kerr pulled her to the living room and pressed her against the sofa. "Listen to me, have a
good rest. Your brother Andrew has done it before."
Then he went back to the dinner table, took off his apron and threw it to Andrew, "Wash the dishes."
Putting on a helpless look, Andrew took the apron around his waist, and then started to put the table
away. He did it so expertly as if he often did it before.
Seeing their interaction, Lily smiled. She thought, 'Kerr taught Andrew well and brother Andrew It
seemed to be a good name.
After thinking for a while, Lily walked into the kitchen. Seeing that Andrew was bending over to wash
the dishes, Lily walked up to him with a smile and looked at him with her head tilted. "I'll call you brother
Andrew. Okay?"
Hearing her words, Andrew looked at her. When his eyes met her smile, he blurted out, "Okay."
"Brother Andrew." She called him sweetly.
"Yes." Replied Andrew with a deep smile on his face.
"Go ahead with your work. I'm leaving now." Lily gave him a playful smile, and then shook the small
bottle in her hand, "I'll apply the ointment you brought on time."
"Yes."
Before going to bed, Lily put the ointment on the marks on her neck and chest. The ointment felt cool
and comfortable when it touched the skin.
"Mom." After applying the ointment, Lily climbed onto the bed and lay down beside Tina. She held her
arm and said, "It's so good to sleep with you."
"You are an adult now. Stop acting like a spoiled child." Tina gave her a reproachful look, and pulled the
quilt to cover her.
"No matter how old I am, I'm always your daughter. I can act like a spoiled child if I want."
Tina laughed silently, looking at her full pampering in her eyebrows.
"Mom, I think uncle Kerr is a nice person. What do you think?" Lily turned to look at her mother.
An unnatural gleam flashed through her eyes. Tina thought, 'yes, he is a good man. He treats me well,
and he treats Lily well. But...'
Seeing that her mother didn't say a word, Lily continued, "Mom, as a person who had the experience,
you know better than me about love. But I think that there is someone who can take care of you and
take care of me. As a man, he is also meticulous and considerate enough to. All that is all I want. Mom,
I really don't want you to miss it."
"I know what you mean," Tina sighed slightly, "I know what to do, but it needs time. It takes time to
forget someone and accept someone."
"Well, I only hope that you can forget the past and open your heart to accept the man who loves you
wholeheartedly. Don't miss the past, and don't expect a future. What I want is just a simple life."
Tina agreed with her. She smiled and said, "It seems that my daughter knows more than I do."
"Life should be peaceful and quiet." Lily smiled, but she added in her heart, 'But I'm destined to be hard
in my life.'
"Alright, sleep."
"Yes."
