Richie was in a trance. He took some time to confirm that Lilly was in front of him. His wife, Valentine and Blake gathered around him. There were no signs of the Ruler of Hell. It seemed that he was really sick and confused.
“I'm sorry...” Richie muttered, “Hallucinations...” Lilly asked, “Uncle Richie, should | help you to catch the rich spirit now?” Previously, when he was in good health, he did not believe it when Lilly told him he would not live more than five years. Now, when he found out he had cancer. He delayed for a long time before coming for surgery. Richie should have learned his lesson.
Richie said hesitantly, “Let’s just wait until I'm better. My life will end within 5 years, right?” Lilly was speechless.
“Uncle Richie, a year or a few days is also considered within 5 years, right?” “It's not that serious... right?” Richie asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRichie's wife was puzzled, “Five years? What is it all about?” Blake said casually at the side, “We are fortune tellers. There's a spirit leeching on him. He doesn’t want to remove the spirit.” “Another fortune teller?” Richie had sought fortune tellers before. The one he met was powerful. He made them turn rich. When she heard that they were fortune tellers, she agreed, “Then hurry up and drive the spirit away now. Why don’t you proceed? Why aren't you believing them?” “The spirit on him is called the rich spirit. The rich spirit helped him earn money. After the exorcism, your family will no longer earn money.” Richie was in a trance. He took some time to confirm that Lilly was in front of him. His wife, Valentine and Blake gathered around him. There were no signs of the Ruler of Hell. It seemed that he was really sick and confused.
Richie's wife did not hesitate, “Drive it away. We have enough money to spend now.” Richie's wife did not hesitate, “Drive it away. We have enough money to spend now.” The rich spirit glared at her. | worked hard to help you guys earn money, now you're abandoning me so easily? Richie struggled to interrupt, “Just wait until I'm well again...” “If you don’t remove it, you will not be able to get well,” Lilly said.
“I recuperate well. As long as | don’t work, | will be fine.” Richie's wife shouted, “You only want money and not your life, huh? This is a spirit! What are you waiting for? Just remove it!” She did not care that she would offend the ghost.
Richie didn’t know his condition. The doctor told him to get the surgery done before the cancer cells spread half a month ago. He dragged the surgery for half a month. In the meantime, he stayed up late to work hard. He did earn the money but the cancer had spread. His survival rate was only 20% to 30% after removing the lymph nodes. Richie couldn't give up the rich spirit. He quarreled with his wife.
Valentine looked at them and shook his head. “Miss Lilly, eat ice cream! It's in the freezer!” He said while helping Lilly to the ice cream.
“If you're lying on the hospital bed, everything around you is like a dream. Why still think about the money? You couldn't even enjoy the money you had earned,” Valentine lamented.
Lilly nodded.
Valentine smiled, “When is Miss Lilly going to visit our company? Jonas is recently filming in the company’s studio.” Lilly remembered that she had to find the soul flower, so she said, “I'm not sure yet.” Valentine nodded, “It's okay, | just simply mentioned Jonas...” “Huh?” “Nothing,” Valentine smiled. He remembered when they first met, she was like a doll. She grew up smart and had the demeanor of Mr. Crawford.
Richie and his wife had been arguing until he coughed violently. His wife knew she couldn't win the argument and promised to give him 2 days to consider it.
Two days had passed and Richie looked a little better.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Lilly was here to visit him, he was still hesitant. He felt better without working for two days and he promised to take care of his health in the future. He thought there would be no problem.
After two more days, Richie was able to sit up. Lilly asked again if he wanted to catch the spirit. This time Richie was confident that after he got well, he could live to see a miracle. He thought he was definitely one of the people with a 20% to 30% survival rate to live up to 5 years.
“I saw an old man come for a check-up yesterday. He lived for 13 years after surgery,” Richie said.
In the hallway, Lilly asked, “Dad, are we going to watch him die? Or should we just catch the spirit?” “Does that change the date of his death in the Book of Life?” Lilly had never thought of that.
“Daddy, these are two different concepts!” Lilly said.
However, Richie died a week later after being discharged from the hospital.
