It was already evening. The skies were now covered with a blanket of blackness, no moonlight visible. Looking at his phone, Clem Shi's hands still trembled vigorously. With each passing mont, he found himself embarrassing the silence.
His breathing sawed in and out in knee-deep silence that stole his breath away.
Clem Shi lowered his head and ran his hands through his head excessively.
It has been 6 more days since that fateful encounter in the alley. Today, Clem Shi kept staring at his phone constantly, finding he was never able to put it down. 'Can they really do it?'
He looked like a mad man when murmuring to himself with unfocused eyes. 'I just hope the help she said will co tonight.' It wouldn't be a scam, right?
Clem Shi suddenly felt panicked. According to the strange woman, his matter would require the help of soone she called the Grandmaster. He will co with others, exactly for today's matter. Sotis, Clem Shi would slap himself in the face, staring at the mirror to hypnotize himself to wake up from the nightmare he was currently living. Although Liana was still adamant about divorcing him, he still discreetly told her about his plans for revenge. Today, she suddenly changed her mind, agreeing not to divorce him. Those people said that tonight is the night he was destined to die. Perhaps it was because of his current haggard bone-like appearance and the fact that he was dying tonight, that made Liana change her mind. Liana also planned herself, for not being strong enough or convincing enough. Rather than telling, she should have tried her best to 'show' him just how evil that baby truly was. This way, he would have long believed in him and worked together to save their child. But now, it was too late. Their boy was gone. However, they must still work hard to free what those people called his soul. Only in this way can their boy rest in peace and reincarnate into a happy ho. Reincarnation? Soul freeing? Why didn't Clem Shi understand any of these things? To be honest, they all believe that when you die, you just die. Science says your body turns to decay, and that's the end of it. There's nothing more, nothing less. No afterlife or anything of that sort. Do you ask a mosquito about its afterlife? Do you think a Rose plant has an afterlife?
What about a Jaguar? A whale? A toad? For them, they all saw themselves just like the other living beings in this world. Everything was in the hands of Mother Nature. They live on her land, die and eventually return to the dust.
That's it. So what's this about Souls and afterlives?
Clem Shi still didn't get it. Feeling the ball on his throat roll up, he suddenly found himself very dehydrated and sweaty. In the span of a few days, he turned skeletal, thanks to his dear 'son'.
Once you open your eyes to the strangeness of that boy you start realizing that everything he did was bizarre. The strange noises running through the walls, the shadows that didn't reflect anything, the green eyes, the child's systematic and thoughtful cries. When you sit to analyze it all, there was indeed sothing very fishy about his son. ….
"Mr. Shi, how are you doing?" How are you holding up? The company guard stared at the frightfully bony Mr. Shi, and felt a pang of pain in his heart. 'Alas, won are just terrible creatures. How can a woman make a man go so thin because of her wickedness?' Hmph! The guard sneered, 'They keep saying they want a good man, but after getting him, what do they do? They turn him into bones!' The guard inwardly cursed all won while pushing the button to open the company gates. Everyone had already left except for Mr. Shi and the cleaning staff.
"Have a good day, Mr. Shi! See you in a month!"
Looking at Mr. Shi's disappearing vehicle, the guard frowned, confusion very evident in his eyes. Ever since the incident, the company has been trying to get Mr. Shi to take a paid ti off for as long as he needed, even if it's for 3 or 6 months. With how massive the case was, the company was also in the spotlight. So if they don't offer such a generous paid ti off, it would look like they were heartless. They could already see the headlines now.
Why? Because Job didn't give him ti to recover or take care of his child. No matter what, the company must show its support for Clem Shi. Even the CEO and big bosses gave Clem Shi a fat boys. One would think that Clem Shi would agree to stop working, but he has been refusing and delaying his ti off. It was almost as though sothing was pursuing him at ho, making him dread returning. Well, maybe his ho reminded him too much of his wife. That it makes him depressed every ti he stares at his ho. The guard also heard that the child is typically with his mother in law during his working ti. They had been begging him for a while to just stop work, go ho and rest. Not just for his sake, but for the sake of the company's reputation. However, Mr. Shi often postponed his paid ti off.
That was until yesterday, when he suddenly had a change of heart, saying that today would be his last day at work. Instantly, the managers, leaders, superiors and even big company bosses were so happy that they almost jumped out of their chairs in glee. Good! Good! Good! (>0
