Chapter 283 I Wanna Have Meatballs and Chicken Feet


After the meal, the children were in the living room, and the eight brothers of the Crawford family chatted on the first floor while watching Lilly play with Hannah.


Bettany looked around, then went upstairs silently.


All of her children were here except for Jean. Lilly was also new to the family.


It was as if nothing had changed, the Crawford family had been quiet for five years, and they were as happy as before.


Jean must have visited them since the 14th of July was right around the corner.


Her children were making delicious food for Jean, and the table was Jean’s favorite dish. Everyone would follow Lilly and pray before eating.


She wondered if she could see Jean again in her lifetime.


Bettany returned to her room and stood in front of the window silently. She stared outside.


Hugh put down his glasses and asked, “What’s wrong?”


Bettany said silently, “It’s nothing,”


Hugh grinned, he never understood her.


Girls were sentimental, but he did not expect girls could be sentimental at that age.


At that moment, there was a knock on the door.


Bettany thought it was one of Anthony and the others knocking on the door.


She fixed her expression and returned to the nagging old woman she was before.


“Who is it?” She asked as she walked out, “Aren’t you downstairs? What’s wrong, did something happen?‘


When the door opened, Bettany’s pupils shrank and she was completely stunned!


Hugh noticed that Bettany was silent and she was standing at the door in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.


He stood up, frowned, and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you lose your soul?”


He did not dare to say that she saw a ghost.


But when he walked out and saw the figure outside the door, he was also stunned.


Jean?


Hugh froze, his fingers were stiff, and he did not dare to move.


He must be dazzled.

However, if could see Jean in a daze, he wanted to see her for a little longer…


Bettany’s lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.

She stretched out her hand that was trembling and caressed Jean’s cheek.


Jean grabbed Bettany’s hand, she choked, and said, “Mom…”


Bettany could not hold back any longer, she shed a tear, she was afraid that she would lose sight of Jean, so she quickly wiped it away.


“Jean… You’re back?” Bettany touched Jean’s cheek, she could not hide her concern as her voice was trembling, “Jean…have you eaten yet?”


Bettany talked to her like she was alive and nagged her, “Are you doing good over there…”


“What do you usually eat? Did you dress well? Is it cold?”


Jean was in tears and she replied softly, “I’m doing good, Mom. I’ve eaten all the food Lilly offers to me… The gates of hell opened and I came up. I had shrimp noodles, grilled honeycomb, and corndogs made by Jonas and the others,”


“The corndog was good and I’ve never had salmon before…”


Bettany laughed and cried, “What else do you want to eat, I’ll make it for you,”


Initially, Jean wanted to refuse as she was full.


But after thinking about it, she acted coquettishly and said, “Mom, I wanna eat your meatballs, make it extra spicy!”


“I also wanna have chicken feet! Make it so that toothless people can eat them too!”


Bettany was taken aback for a moment, and could not help but snorted. She smiled with tears in her eyes.


She still remembered when Jean was a kid and said she wanted to have chicken feet. She told her that it was no good for her and the reason why they were boneless was because some toothless people gnawed


them out.


She did not expect Jean to remember it!


Bettany wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll make them for you right now. I knew you wanted to eat spicy food, but you weren’t allowed to have them when you were receiving medical treatment. You must be craving for them!”


Jean hugged Bettany’s arm like a little girl. She nodded obediently, “Yeah, I’ve been dreaming of having those in my dreams! I’ve been craving them for so long!”


Bettany’s heart was sore, but she finally had another chance to cook a meal for her beloved daughter.


She was satisfied and would not ask for anything else.


Hugh still stood there.


Jean turned her head and waved, “Dad, don’t just stay in the room! Hurry up and come down!”


Hugh opened his mouth and managed to say a few words, “Yeah… Okay,”


He followed closely behind, looking at Jean without blinking.

He never dreamed when he was asleep.


For a moment, he could not tell whether he was dreaming.


If it was a dream, he was afraid that he would walk too fast and make too much noise, which would wake him up.


Jean hugged Bettany’s arm, while Hugh followed behind and went downstairs together.


The first floor was lively and became silent all of a sudden.


Anthony took his tablet and stopped looking at the data and emails on it.


Liam was checking Hannah’s homework and covered it immediately.


The brothers who met Jean last night did not feel shocked, they were just reluctant to race against time.


On the other hand…


Bryson’s mouth widened in shock and let go of the fruit he was holding.


Max rubbed his eyes vigorously, while Cloud stood up abruptly, looking at Jean like a ghost.


The adults were silent, and Josh could not help but look up, only to see his aunt, whom he could only see in photos, floating down the stairs.


He was so frightened that he sat down without looking. He ended up sitting on a building block that caused him to jolt up in pain.


Zachary stared blankly at the white shadow. He felt that Jean was familiar but could not think of who it was. His limbs were stiff.


Hannah and Drake looked puzzled.


What’s the matter?


What happened?


Did all of them get hit by a bat?


Lilly put down the toy and ran over. She said happily, “Where are you going, Grandma?”


Bettany held her hand and said, “I’m making meatballs and chicken feet for your mom,”


Lilly raised her hand and looked at her with bright eyes, “I wanna eat them too!”


Anthony came over and asked, “Can you handle spice?”


Lilly replied, “Yes, I can!”


She wanted to try what her mother liked to eat, so she could eat them in the future.


The siblings who were done eating stood up and walked to the kitchen.


One of them minced meat, one processed chicken feet, and the other looked for spices.


scissors.


Bryson, Max, and Cloud stood at the door of the kitchen dumbfoundedly. At that moment, their minds were struck by lightning. They were in a new world.


Are there ghosts in this world?


“Jean…” Bryson murmured in a low voice.


They did not care if they were in a new world if they could see their sister.
