Chapter 1504: Chapter 1504: Very Envious
The translator softly conveyed Cherry’s words to Mrs. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson became emotional after hearing the words: "Is he here?"
She looked around herself, tears welling up in her eyes, and held the translator’s hand, speaking rapidly.
"Mrs. Wilson said that at the funeral, she personally placed a bouquet of forget-me-nots in his front pocket, and she wants to ask you if her husband is here now, how he looks, if he can hear her speaking. Mrs. Wilson asks you to please help her."
Cherry couldn’t help but mutter, "So many questions..."
Mr. Ghost Hayes lowered his voice to remind her: "One billion."
"Ahem, ahem." Cherry cleared her throat and adopted a serious demeanor, "Tell her, to see her husband, there are now two methods."
Cherry used her fingers to make a "one", and said, "Her husband’s soul is very weak, and normal people can’t see it. I can make his soul strong enough to be seen, but in doing so, everyone would find a ghost following her, which might cause some trouble."
She paused slightly and then used her fingers to make a "two".
"I can also adjust the yin energy in her body, allowing her to see all spirits and ghosts, but this method might harm her body, and she’ll need to recuperate for a while afterwards."
Finally, she made a "three".
Mr. Ghost Hayes was surprised: "There’s a third method?"
"No," Cherry said, "Both of the above methods can only last for three days."
The translator conversed with Mrs. Wilson for a long time and told Cherry: "Use the second method."
Cherry’s eyes widened: "Are you sure? The second method can affect her health, are you sure you translated it clearly? At such an old age, even a minor illness can be quite suffering for her."
The translator nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Wilson insists on using the second method."
"But her husband disagrees." Cherry raised her hand, pointing at the air behind Mrs. Wilson, "Her husband is shaking his head."
The translator whispered a few words to the elderly lady and then told Cherry again: "Mrs. Wilson said to ignore him, as when he was alive, she was always the one in charge of all the matters at home."
Cherry was momentarily stunned: "...Fine then."
She stood up, asked the elderly lady to close her eyes, gently touched her forehead with one hand, and then covered it—
A person’s soul is interesting, growing towards the sun, fading towards the shadows. Each alternation of yin and yang is a cycle of life.
In reality, there’s no such thing as birth or death; in the universe of trillion of years, we remain who we are, sometimes dust, sometimes air, sometimes mist, sometimes a fleeting moment of light...
Cherry withdrew her hand, silently watching the elderly lady in front of her alternating between crying and laughing, and couldn’t help thinking: what she considers a monotonous day might have been a whole tumultuous lifetime for the tiny microorganisms within her body.
An instant is eternity.
Therefore, every moment must be cherished. Time is too precious.
Mrs. Wilson expressed gratitude to Cherry and slowly wheeled herself out of the room. In the short distance from the door, she initially laughed with joy, then cried with sadness, and finally cursed loudly with a vibrant voice full of energy.
"Wasn’t she supposed to be weakened?" Mr. Ghost Hayes watched in disbelief, "Why does she seem to have become more spirited instead? What is she cursing about?"
Cherry, having only picked up some English, lazily rested her cheek on her hand, "Seems like she’s saying... did you think shaking your head could stop me, are you afraid that I’ll hinder you from making ghost girlfriends, did any old hag ghost come to flirt with you... something like that."
"Ah..." Mr. Ghost Hayes opened his mouth, unsure of what to feel, having spent most of his life as a loner, finding it hard to comprehend the sentiments of an elderly couple.
Cherry looked into the distance, feeling envious.
As she envied, she also felt puzzled: "Doesn’t she find ghosts frightening? She’s so old, with so many wrinkles and not beautiful, why would her husband still choose to stay with her even after death?"
