Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chatper 1067

Chatper 1067

Josh felt that Chloe’s character was still somewhat stubborn.

Based on what he observed over the past few days, Chloe acted completely differently when she was outside compared to when she was in front of Simon.

Outside, she was assertive and unafraid to challenge her boss at work. If someone secretly took pictures of her or acted inappropriately, she would confront them and even resort to physical force.

She would not back down!

But in front of Simon, it was as if she became submissive.

Josh believed that if they could catch the clingy dog, maybe Chloe would find her backbone again!

“Humans catch human ghosts, cats catch dog ghosts, let’s put an end to it!” Josh muttered indignantly, “Catch this clingy dog, Bellflower!”

At that moment, Bellflower, who had been crawling forward, finally made a move. It rushed forward, extending its paws to grab the dog’s head!

The dog’s head, being a formidable entity, possessed a powerful evil spirit. Its head resembled that of a lion.

Seeing Bellflower suddenly charge at it, the dog’s head attempted to flee. However, Bellflower’s claws caught hold of it, preventing it from escaping. In desperation, the dog’s head opened its mouth wide, attempting to “swallow” Chloe’s head!

But Bellflower would not let that happen!

After being constantly belittled by the phantom cats recently, Bellflower’s potential had been unleashed. After training with the dead black cat, it developed its skills.

A low growl emanated from Bellflower’s throat as it engaged in a fierce battle with the dog head.

This sudden turn of events disrupted the love-hate dynamic between Simon, Elsa, and Chloe!

Upon seeing the “wild cat” suddenly attack, Elsa cried out in panic and sought refuge in Simon’s arms.

Simon instinctively hugged Elsa, his gaze fixed on the wild cat defensively…

However, in the midst of all this, Chloe was the one suffering the most.

The dog’s head was now perched on her head, and in their attempt to catch the dog’s head, Bellflower, who was inexperienced accidentally kicked Chloe.

Chloe instinctively shielded herself with her hands, resulting in scratches and bloodstains on her arms. Two claw marks on her face also began to ooze blood.

“Ah…”

Panicked, Chloe felt the weight of the cat on her head and quickly tried to push it away.

Witnessing this, Simon could not help but feel anxious. He rushed to help Chloe, but Elsa held him back.

Seeing Simon’s concern for Chloe, and how his attention seemed to be focused on her, Elsa seethed with hatred.

She hugged Simon’s waist, pretending to be scared. “Simon, don’t go! I’m afraid. This cat is crazy. What if it scratches my face?”

Simon had always doted on Elsa, considering her the most beautiful. However, now that Chloe had been hurt by the wild cat, he felt an inexplicable sense of worry and the urge to help her.

“It’s alright, don’t be afraid. Just move aside for now,” Simon reassured Elsa, trying to shake her off. But unfortunately, she clung to him tightly. Meanwhile, Bellflower successfully subdued the dog’s head, forcefully peeling it away from Chloe’s body.

Bellflower held the dog’s head firmly and dragged it away. Simon, preoccupied with Chloe’s wellbeing, did not notice that there was nothing in Bellflower’s mouth.

Finally, Elsa released her grip when Simon quickly approached Chloe and asked, “Are you okay?”

Coming back to her senses, Chloe saw Simon protecting Elsa, their bodies intertwined.

The cat was no longer on either of them. They had distanced themselves, but she…

The sharp pain in her arm intensified, and Chloe felt an even deeper pain in her heart.

Simon had protected Elsa in such a way, yet she was the one who had been bitten by a cat. He did not even come over to check on her.

“Why bother asking this now?” Chloe fought back tears, clenched her lips, and gazed at Simon.

Observing Chloe’s flushed eyes, two streaks of blood on her face, and scratched arms from a cat, Simon lashed out in anger. “Are you foolish? Don’t you know how to dodge it?”

Driven by instinct, he reached out and tried to take Chloe inside to tend to her wounds.

Unexpectedly, Chloe shrugged off his hand.

“Yeah, I don’t know how to dodge it. I’m foolish,” Chloe replied with a smile that disconcerted Simon. “I should have dodged it a long time ago…”

Simon furrowed his brow, struggling to explain the mix of emotions within him, but he suppressed his anger and said, “Fine, don’t take advantage of this to throw a tantrum! Hurry up and come with me to treat your wounds?”

Taking a couple of steps back, Chloe responded, “There’s no need. Go and protect Elsa.”

She felt weary and disheartened.

Without hesitation, she rushed to his wedding to salvage the situation, but when the cat attacked her, he turned a blind eye to her…

He never cared about her.

She felt like a joke…

Suddenly, Simon’s heart throbbed with a sharp pain, as if it had been cut.

He took a deep breath and said, “Stop causing a scene, okay? It’s my fault today, I…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Elsa exclaimed, “Oh no, my hand… The cat scratched me earlier… It’s bleeding…”

She cast a resentful look at Simon but spoke with authority, “Simon, I’m in pain. Go get me some medicine!”

Josh, secretly enjoying the drama, was seething with anger.

He wanted to see how Simon would react this time, but more importantly…

What would Chloe do?
