Chapter 7 Unbelievable
"yes."
What surprised Chris was that the other party answered his question without hesitation.
"We met when we watched the same movie because we were all fans of Bruce Lee. When we went to watch the Chinese movie "Ip Man 4", it was because we had Bruce Lee's appearance."
When she heard her answer this question, Christ was stunned.
After a long time, he said, "Are you newly married?"
In his impression, the movie seemed to have been released in recent years.
“Not…”
Then, she suddenly said, "Maybe my next words will make you feel abrupt and weird, but I still want to ask you. Do you... believe there are ghosts in this world?"
Chris never expected that the other party would ask such a question.
"Why did you ask that?"
“Intuitively, how do you think about this problem?”
intuition?
Chris never thought about this issue seriously.
"Of course, ghosts don't exist. But since you ask this, you think you have a different opinion?"
"The United States is the country with the most people who believe in God's existence on this planet. Since you think God exists, why do you think ghosts do not exist?"
Chris was stunned.
"Sir, I'll tell you clearly that there are ghosts in this world."
Chris slowly closed the book in his hand.
"Have you seen a ghost? If so, you can tell me."
"Specific... even if I say it, you won't believe it. Such a thing is very ridiculous."
Chris is not a very curious person. Since the other party refuses to say more, he naturally won't say anything more.
"Anyway, thank you very much, ma'am."
"It's nothing. It's just a trivial matter."
Then, Chris began to continue reading the book in his hand.
The train continued to drive overnight.
After a long time, Chris began to feel a little sleepy.
For him, there are still a lot of things to worry about when he arrives in Washington tomorrow.
For him now, there is no possibility of regaining his marriage with his wife. He knows this rationally, but Chris still finds it difficult to accept emotionally.
But if things really go to the worst step, the key is the custody of your daughter.
My daughter is only five years old now.
When a court awards custody of a child to one of the parents in a divorce lawsuit, it generally considers the economic situation of both parties. When the conditions of both parties are equal, it is generally inclined to award it to the mother. Of course, the child's own wishes will also be taken into consideration.
But the problem now is... the wife doesn't let her see the child at all. She moved out of the house and only arranged for a lawyer to contact him. He came to Atlanta and also came here to meet a very experienced divorce lawsuit lawyer who was on a business trip here, and wanted to hire the other party in person. After all, he was a university professor. Even though he temporarily lost his career because of his son, with his resume, as long as he could find a job as soon as possible and obtain custody of his daughter, he should still have a lot of chance of winning.
Of course, it is of course the best if you can avoid divorce.
Before getting married, Chris and his wife Anna felt that each other was each other's soul mate, Soulmate.
At least, that's what Anna said to Chris at the time.
At that time, both of them believed extremely strongly that death could separate them. Just as the marriage oath said.
The reason why the two of them met was because they watched the same movie, the name of the movie was "Casablanca". In this movie, there was a line: There are so many cities in the world and so many taverns in the city, but she just walked into mine.
Both of them could almost recite this line. Even a science professor, Chris deeply felt the romance of this line.
But in the end it's all over.
Reality is so ironic and distorted. There is no imagined romance, only reality is full of blood.
Several years have passed since John's death, but Anna cannot pass. She cannot accept the reality and in the end she pushes all the blame on Chris.
"Ghost...?"
He really hopes that ghosts exist.
In that way, he could see his son come back to find him.
He hopes that everything can go back to the past, and maybe he has time to educate him better so that he will not get infected with drugs, and that he will not run away from home and hang out with addicts for rebellion, so that he will become what he is now.
Suddenly, he put down the book.
"Ms. Have you slept?"
"No," the other party immediately said, "I didn't sleep."
"You just told me the ghost...yes? Can you tell me more about it?"
When Chris was halfway through speaking, he felt that he seemed a little abrupt.
However, even if he felt abrupt, he wanted to finish this.
He didn't know what the meaning of what he was doing now was.
Hearing this, the other party showed a hesitant look.
"You just forgot what I said..."
"I……"
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an awkward state.
Chris was just about to say "Okay," but suddenly the other party spoke.
"Forget it, let me tell you. Anyway, I can't find anyone to talk to you."
"good……"
Chris could see that she was filled with sorrow.
"My name is Melty...I am now going to Washington, D.C. to meet my husband Alex. But I know very well that I can't see him at all."
"What?"
About fifteen minutes later.
After listening to Melty's words, Chris looked at Melty blankly, unable to believe his ears.
"Are you kidding me?"
At this time, his expression was completely the standard black question mark face.
"Ms., IMHO, this is really a bit..."
"Which part do you don't believe in? The part of the ghost, or the part of the supernatural hospital that curses the curse?"
"Even if I believe in God's existence, it's hard to believe that there is a supernatural hospital..."
"Look, even if you tell you, you can't believe me. Isn't it?"
This made Chris feel a little embarrassed. However, he really couldn't believe her.
"I'm sorry, I'll go smoke a cigarette."
He left the seat in front of him and walked towards the car behind him.
After reaching a relatively remote corner, he took out the cigarette and lit it quickly.
For some reason, he always felt that the woman named Melty didn't seem to be lying.
Her expression and voice... seemed to be telling the truth.
But what they say is incredible and incredible.
"How could there be ghosts in this world... monsters..."
Suddenly, he found that the cigarette had suddenly gone out.
Chris was stunned.
