Chapter 1875: Please Don’t Separate Them
Grandma rushed forward, trying to hug her friend.
But instead of a hug, she embraced emptiness.
Everything in front of her seemed illusory. She tried to wipe away the tears on her friend’s face, but it was still empty.
"What..."
She muttered to herself, her voice mocking: "Is it me, seeing illusions..."
"Grandma, this is not an illusion." Little Taotie stood by her side, also looking in the direction of her friend.
"You... Little Taotie, can you also... see her?"
"I can see her, the beautiful big sister in the cheongsam!"
The Ghost in Cheongsam chuckled, tears still on her face, but her smile was gentle and sweet: "I, ah, if you count by age, could be your grandma."
"Are you talking?" Grandma asked hoarsely.
She could see the shape of her friend’s lips moving, but could not hear what her friend was saying.
Little Taotie acted as a temporary translator.
Grandma and her friend talked for a long time, the Epiphyllum flower withered, and Grandma sat on the deck chair and closed her eyes, softly saying: "You’ve waited so long, I’ll accompany you on this journey of reincarnation..."
"Grandma, Grandma?"
Little Taotie called her several times, but she could no longer wake her.
"Why so long? Old Chen, why did you bring Xiao Zaizai here? Did your Epiphyllum flower bloom?" The Grandma with a failed cosmetic surgery ran over, seeing Old Chen with his eyes closed, she said irritably: "Why did you fall asleep! You took Xiao Zaizai away, and you’re sleeping soundly yourself!"
Little Taotie stood silently aside, her gaze directed to the distance, where Grandma and the cheongsam beauty’s silhouette was retreating. Grandma’s back gradually straightened, her white hair turned black, seemingly reverting to her youthful appearance from the back.
She suddenly turned around, and the cheongsam beauty beside her also turned her head. Both were wearing the exact attire as in the photo, and on their faces was the same radiant, sunny smile as in the photo.
"Old Chen! Old Chen! Ah—" The Grandma with a failed cosmetic surgery extended her hand under Grandma’s nose and suddenly screamed.
Little Taotie, seeing her frightened, said softly: "Grandma is gone..."
"Old Chen is dead! Ah!" This strange scream drew in a lot of elderly people.
At this moment, some people had an expression of numbness on their faces.
In the nursing home, death didn’t seem to be something novel, even used to, especially for those who had lived in the nursing home for a very long time.
Chen Zi heard that an old person had died here, and it happened in front of Little Taotie, so he hurried over.
Seeing that Little Taotie’s expression was calm and she wasn’t scared, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shall we... head back?" Chen Zi suggested.
Little Taotie shook her head: "I want to see Grandma and them off for the last time."
"Them?" Chen Zi was surprised.
Little Taotie handed him the eye drops, and Chen Zi shook his head: "I have some too."
Little Taotie almost forgot that Chen Zi was not only her assistant brother but also a new colleague in the Special Department.
Chen Zi applied the eye drops and saw the two young apparitions in the distance.
Little Taotie pointed at one of them: "That’s Grandma."
"How do you plan to help them?" Chen Zi asked, puzzled.
When someone dies, naturally, a Ghost Enforcer comes to take them away.
He didn’t understand why Little Taotie wanted to intervene.
Little Taotie pouted and muttered: "The Ghost Enforcer is here."
The Ghost Enforcer came to take only Grandma, upon seeing the Ghost in Cheongsam, he didn’t intend to interfere; she was someone from another colleague’s file, not within his purview.
But Little Taotie suddenly rushed forward, saying to the Ghost Enforcer: "Please don’t separate them!"
