NovelEnglishJosh was frightened until he was numb; he could not speak. He glared at Jannat and muttered, “Y...” Jannat asked, “Aren't you here for me? | went up to get something, and now you've found Miah.” Lilly asked, “Do you know Miah?” Jannat nodded and said, “Yes, we're sick, and we used to live together.” Both of them had leukemia, and they were kept in a special ward; their parents could not simply enter. So they ended up becoming best friends. They disliked the hospital gowns, but they loved them every time that they were discharged. They felt free like the birds. Both of them loved dresses, and they fell in love with each other's dresses one time when we were discharged. “So, we exchanged our dresses!” And the both of them loved their original dresses too. Their parents would bring the dresses to them, and they would take turns wearing them. But they did not expect the end to come so fast. “Miah and | didn’t make it this time.” Jannat said sadly, “She was wearing my dress the last time, and she was sent straight to the emergency room.” She then continued, “And | passed away the following day.” Hence, Miah was wearing Jannat's dress when she was dead. But Jannat still missed her dress when she died, and her parents bought her the same one and changed it for her. Josh commented, “That's why both of you are wearing the same dresses.” He was frightened. He thought that Jannat’s parents cremated the wrong body. Or her body might be switched to sell the internal organs. It seemed like he overthought. “So, is your request related to Miah?” Jannat asked, “Two... Can you do me two favors?” Josh felt that something was not right. Blake reminded him at the side. “First, Miah passed away one day before Jannat; why is she still here while Jannat was already cremated?” And he continued to say, “Secondly, where’s Miah’s soul? How can she talk without her soul here?” There were two mysteries. Josh and Lilly nodded and said, “That's right!” Jannat suddenly said, “Miah’s soul was brought away by a practitioner hired by her parents.” Josh blurted, “Practitioner again?” They had run into evil practitioners a few times. and Leslie even wanted to harm Lilly. Hence, he was upset to hear about them again.
Jannat shook her head and said, “He should be a fraud; | saw Miah’s deformity when he brought her away.” Lilly suddenly recalled something. She took a closer look at Miah and asked, “Master, parts of her soul are still inside her body, right?” There were several fragments in a soul. The evil soul fragment was powered by obsession, and this fragment was still inside Miah. This fragment was the one that spoke.
Everyone looked at Jannat. She said, “I have something very important to do with my parents.” She looked at Miah and said guiltily, “I actually forgot about Miah at the moment.” Josh was speechless, but he was in a mortuary in the middle of the night; he could literally accept everything now. He hoped that Jannat could quickly state her two requests, and hopefully everything would end there! “So, what are your two requests?” he asked.
Jannat answered, “It's almost my mother’s birthday, but she hasn't been happy ever since | got sick. She was always forcing her smile and trying not to cry.” She clenched the thing in her hand as she spoke. “I thought that | could live until her thirtieth birthday.” And she continued to say, “I secretly prepared a surprise for her; | picked a lot of flowers without my parents noticing.” Flowers would become dry, but she thought that dried flowers could be kept even longer. “Yet, most of the flower petals faded. | had been experimenting with them for quite some time. And | found the best way to preserve them.” She picked and preserved a lot of them, and she put them into a beautiful glass bottle. She brought the bottle with her to the hospital before she passed away. She wanted to fold one hundred paper stars and put them in “This would take a lot of time!” She said, “I had to hide it from my Mommy. | didn’t know how to do it, so | was waiting for Miah to do it with me.” But Miah suddenly died. She was devastated and scared that she would not have long to prepare the surprise for her mother. So she secretly woke up at night to fold the paper star. She cried, “But | merely folded nine stars...” There were still ninety-one stars left, but she could not continue to fold them.
