Chapter 39: Call ….Sophie
“I…I don’t understand!” Sui ng stamred as she hurriedly tried to explain.
“When I arrived in this body…did…did we not fuse into one persona?”
She had always thought that Sophie’s mories and personality had combined with her own during the first day of her sudden transmigration. The only reason that she felt so comfortable living this new life was because she felt that there was no difference between the original host and herself.
If that was a lie…she dared not even entertain the thought for a mont.
Had she been living the lie of an innocent child?
Stolen her identity, parents and even the very essence of her existence.
A short peal of laughter burst out from the little girl standing in front of her which was tinged with a faint trace of bitterness.
“No, you were right…. Sophie no longer exists in this world,” the child spoke with a contorted grin.
“I am nothing more than an echo. The faintest trace of a life that has been slowly disappearing with the passage of ti.”
Sui ng gasped in disbelief, she had been so distracted by the shocking turn of events that she failed to notice the changes in the little girl.
Sophie’s form began to flicker and sway like a mirage about to vanish.
She dashed forward and tried to hold young Sophie, but her hands passed through the figure that gazed at her with a sorrowful and heart wrenching look.
“Please tell how can I help you?” Sui ng desperately cried.
The child peered deeply into her face as if searching for sothing and softly spoke,
“You have absorbed most of my mories and soul…. you are basically the entire person that I was.”
“I am simply the parts you chose not to take.”
Sui ng felt a pang of guilt in her chest and her hands fell lifelessly to the ground.
It was true.
Back when she had chosen to assimilate Sophie’s personality, she had intentionally not absorbed the parts that she had deed harmful to her ntal state.
The original host was naïve, helpless, and fiercely loyal even to people that did not deserve it. Sui ng saw no need to take in these traits, so she simply ignored them.
But this might be the reason that caused her personality to split into two parts…
She had only absorbed part of the mories of the original host so that Sui ng would remain the dominate personality after the fusion. This caused the child before her to be created and live in a dream like state in the recesses of her mind.
She knew in her heart what was the right thing to do but a little voice in her head kept telling her to let the child disappear. Sui ng squatted down to the level of Sophie and made a serious promise,
“I promise that I will fully accept everything that you are and will ever be.”
“The day I woke up in your body was a complete surprise to as well but I…. I was wrong to not accept all aspects of your personality.”
“Unlike … you have kindness. Unlike … you can forgive. I don’t know who we will beco after the fusion, but I promise you to keep your family safe with all my power.”
Sophie looked at the big sister who had mysteriously entered her life and fell into a contemplative silence. She had hated this an lady who had stolen everything from her on that fateful day but through the influx of mories…she had co to realise that it was a mystery to Sui ng as well.
Sophie could feel that in a few more minutes…the last vestiges of her forgotten personality would vanish permanently.
She was scared and frightened of the darkness but still mustered up her courage to earnestly warn Sui ng.
“If you full absorb then both of us will no longer exist separately but as one entity,” the child said with a solemn tone.
“What if Sui ng no longer exists?”
Truthfully, there was a shaful part of Sui ng’s heart that wanted to just abandon the girl to oblivion and just continue living as she had before.
Sophie’s loved ones would not be able to tell the difference as she had the majority of the original host’s mories and could maintain the disguise.
The act of transmigration was an accident but to reject the original host was a conscious choice that Sui ng refused to make. The experience of being a passenger in her own body scarred her deeply and she if the decision was made to abandon Sophie…what right did she have to live her life?
“I understand,” she replied.
Sophie nodded and soon vanished into sparkles of blue light that floated rrily around the empty space before entering into Sui ng’s head.
Sui ng did not know what would happen once she opened her eyes but strangely felt a warm sense of relief and gratitude from the remnant soul of Sophie.
Who would be the person that woke up?
(Arena Hospital Ward)
The nurse was doing the daily rounds of patrolling the hospital wards when she noticed that the patient at the far end of the room had awoken.
The class evaluation typically led to so students being heavily injured, so the workload of the doctors was greatly increased.
Fortunately, none of the injuries so far were fatal and most simply suffered from qi exhaustion.
She walked up to the patient and saw a beautiful hybrid girl lazily sitting up on the bed with a hazy look of confusion in her eyes. The student was peering out of the windows of the ward to observe the flower garden planted outside.
“Glad to see that you are up and awake miss!” the nurse called out.
She fumbled around and brought up her tablet to check the identity of the patient.
Darn it!
One of the interns in charge of the data entry had ssed up the registration of the patients in this particular ward so all the students’ nas were just question marks.
“My apologies miss but the data record has a bit of a malfunction. Would you mind telling your na?” the nurse asked cheerfully.
The girl turned around and the nurse could not help but be captivated by her stunning appearance and seductive gaze that seed to see into the depths of her very soul.
“My na?” she called out hesitantly.
A radiant smile blossod from the sides of her mouth and she replied after a short minute of thinking,
“You can call Sophie!”
Underneath the bright appearance of the teenager…. the nurse failed to recognise the small teardrops falling gently down the sides of her cheek.
