It felt like they had been together for a long time… It was hard not to be moved by it.
These “brothers” of hers loved her so much.
And her ‘daughter’…
Jean took a deep breath and said with a smile, “Well, let’s go together!”
She wanted to quickly become a part of this wonderful family.
Suddenly, she chuckled and looked at the soft and adorable Lilly, saying, “Hey, I thought there was only one extra daughter, but I didn’t expect there to be three more brothers…”
Edward corrected her, “No, there are actually eight brothers.”
Gilbert emphasized, “And don’t forget the parents.”
Lilly immediately raised her hand, “And the Master!”
After a pause, she added, “And Polly! And Tortoise!”
Jean was speechless.
Pablo looked at the lively group of people and was momentarily at a loss for words.
He opened his notebook and muttered as he wrote a few words.
On the side, Josh peeked at his notebook and fumbled through it, clearly more interested in xy.
There were so many supernatural beings just now… Could my sister’s jar of souls be halfway filled this time?
Blake, who felt out of place in this situation, rubbed his nose and said, “You guys go ahead.”
He left and quietly closed the door.
Searching for soul fragments…
It seemed like he might have to become a priest in order to help his beloved sister when she needed it.
Blake took out his cellphone, made a call, and casually said, “Hello… I would like to resign from my position.”
The person on the other end seemed stunned and immediately started talking excitedly, with faintly audible words like ‘what do you want to do now’.
Blake murmured, “Boss, I’m going to become a priest.”
The other party, “…”
Well, go to hell then!
In Lilly’s room, with everyone in silence, Josh hesitantly raised his hand and said, “I still have a question…”
All eyes turned to him.
Josh asked, “Um, why were there so many ghosts by Jean’s side?”
Edward and Gilbert’s minds buzzed, many ghosts?
They quickly glanced at the camera – none?
Then Pablo explained, “Because Jean was blessed with a golden light, these ghosts are all drawn to her as blessings. It can also be said that they are attracted by her merits and virtue.”
“If these ghosts possess the golden light, they will be wealthy and powerful in their next life if they are reincarnated, so they all desire it.”
Lilly chimed in, “They are not only following mother, but also following Sister Gemma. That’s why Master said not to let Sister Gemma go back.”
Suddenly, everyone understood the situation.
Josh then inquired, “So, where are they now?”
Pablo replied, “They should be wandering around the mansion. They are thirsty for the golden light and are searching for Jean’s soul fragment.”
“As more and more ghosts are attracted by the golden light, their numbers will continue to increase.”
“But don’t worry, I have set up a soul-absorbing streamer in the house, so they won’t be able to enter.”
“I will go to the underworld later to see if I can find anything.”
Edward and the others were taken aback – was this really alright?
(Ghosts: So they were a group of laborers?)
**
It was already very late in the middle of the night, and Lilly had already fallen asleep.
Josh had also been sent to bed, but his camera was left behind.
Gilbert was in the room.
Edward approached with a large box and opened it.
Jean asked curiously, “What is this?”
Anthony took out a doll from the box and said softly, “This was your favorite doll when you were three years old, remember?”
Jean shook her head.
Gilbert and Edward also began to take out items.
“This was your favorite little bag and flower ring when you were five years old. You looked so beautiful then…”
“This was the puppet rabbit you hugged since you were diagnosed with leukemia at seven years old.”
Since then, Jean had to undergo many treatments, and to prevent infection, she had to isolate many things.
She could only observe the outside world through the glass window of the ward.
They wanted to bring the best things in the world to her, but all she wanted was to regain her health, the one thing they couldn’t give her…
Anthony’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said softly, “This was the first time Jean completed her entire chemotherapy. When she was discharged from the hospital, she was so happy that she held onto the sunflower tightly.”
A dried sunflower lay quietly in the photo frame.
“At that time, everyone was overjoyed, thinking that we had finally overcome the illness, so we took a group photo at the mansion’s entrance.”
He placed the photo on the table.
Jean stared at the photo in a daze and saw a smiling girl. Her hair was short and looked like it had just started to grow.
Beside her were her eight older brothers and her parents.
Anthony took out many things, most of which were not valuable, but each held great significance.
The photos of the little girl gradually transitioned from when she was seven or eight years old to her teenage years and twenties, capturing every birthday.
However, most of the photos were taken in the ward. She had lost all her hair and refused to be photographed proudly. Her brothers even customized many wigs for her…
Jean could truly see the growth of the girl in the photos.
“Is this really me…?” Jean gently touched the photo, feeling both familiar and strange.
It’s as if I’m looking at my past life, but I can’t remember any of it.
Anthony put down the items and said softly, “It’s okay if you can’t remember. Take your time.”
