Chapter 605 She Grew Up Quickly, and Did Not Have Much Time Together
The old man could not believe what he saw, and rubbed his eyes like a child!
Nancy…?!
Was he dreaming?
Or did he not wake up from the dream just now?
Then this dream was too real!
The old man pinched his thigh hard, it hurt!
It was true!
The old man stood up involuntarily, his stooped back trembling slightly, “Nancy…?”
Nancy was still the same as when she was young, she sat quietly on the chair, tightly clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands.
Hearing the familiar voice, she still could not help it, her eyes filled with tears!
He was old and his hair was all white.
However, she still recognized him at a glance.
Lilly said that he was never married and had no son or daughter.
She also said that he took care of her parents, supported them until they were old, and had been waiting for her…
The Ghost Town was very big, she died accidentally, and she did not obey the rules, she did not go to reincarnation, so the place she stayed in was naturally different.
Her parents died naturally, so she did not see her relatives, or even a familiar person, in the Ghost Town.
She didn’t even know that he had really waited for her all his life…
Nancy choked with sobs, unable to cry, “Ernie…!”
The old man’s back trembled, was it really her?
She was really in front of his eyes, was it a dream?
Nancy cried and said, “Ernie, why are you so stupid! Why have you lived your whole life by yourself, how hard it is…”
The old man’s tears suddenly blurred his vision, and he quickly wiped away the tears, for fear that he would lose sight of her.
“Then what about you..,” He said in a reproachful tone, “Why are you still waiting for me?”
The two looked at each other for a long time, and could not help crying and laughing.
She could laugh at him for being stupid.
He could laugh at her for being stubborn.
How could there really be such a person in this world? Really, he was a dead-brained person who did not know how to change things at all…
The old man walked over tremblingly, and Nancy also stood up. The moment they finally met, they didn’t know how to express it. They wanted to hold her hand but they didn’t dare.
“You are still the same as before, and you are still so beautiful,” The old man’s eyes were cloudy and his voice was sad.
To die so young…
Nancy smiled and said, “However, you are old.”
The old man felt disappointed, “Yes…”
However, she said, “It’s what I imagined. Ernie…”
She reached out and hugged the old man.
The old man’s tears started to fall like rain, and he could not stop no matter what.
……
Lilly closed the door.
Standing in the corridor, she could not help but let out a sigh and stretched herself.
“That’s great, it’s always a joy to reunite, wow, don’t you think so!”
Blake hummed, “Go to sleep!”
Lilly, “Okay! However, grandma should be asleep, I’ll be with dad tonight~”
Blake picked her up, “Well, let’s go!”
The father and daughter went back to the room and closed the door.
The room on the other side.
Old Mrs. Crawford stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the night outside.
“That’s great…” she murmured.
It was hard to have an old companion.
It was already a blessing that he was still by her side at this old age.
Old Mrs. Crawford’s eyes were soft, and she turned to look at old Mr. Crawford on the bed.
Old Mr. Crawford kicked his legs in his sleep, and the quilt fell. He was snoring loudly. Hoo… Hoo…
Old Mrs. Crawford, “…”
The next day Lilly woke up very early, she was concerned about the old man, and quietly opened the door to look.
The old man and Nancy were sitting on the sofa, cuddling together and watching the sunrise outside.
They did not sleep all night.
The old man’s voice could be heard, “I’m sorry… I promised to take you to the Bondee Beach for rafting, but it can’t be realized.”
Nancy smiled and said, “It’s okay, this is already very good.”
Lilly thought for a while, pushed the door open and said, “We can do it.”
The old man looked over in surprise.
Lilly said, “I’ll ask the boss for a black umbrella!”
After she finished speaking, she ran out and came in with an umbrella after a while.
“Hey! Just take this!”
The old man worriedly asked, “Nancy would not be able to go back once it’s dawn… Is that okay?”
Lilly shook her head, “It’s fine.”
The old man said again; “I heard that the government of the underworld is very strict, if the Ruler of Hell finds out…”
Lilly said that she was the Ruler of Hell.
“I said it’s okay!” She stuffed the black umbrella into the old man’s hand, “Grandpa, take Grandma Nancy to play, you can go outside all day today. However, you can’t dump the umbrella, but you can close the umbrella.”
“When closing the umbrella, the tip of the umbrella should face up, don’t let someone take the umbrella!”
Lilly opened the black umbrella, drew a few strokes on it, and then put it away again.
“My father just booked a boat with the boss, let’s go!”
She took the old man’s hand and led him out.
The old man was stunned.
Is it really possible?
The regret of a lifetime has actually come true…
He looked at Lilly, touched by the vicissitudes of life on his wrinkled face, and he didn’t know how to thank Lilly.
Lilly didn’t give him a chance to speak, and opened the umbrella when he reached the door. She said sweetly, “Go, go! Be careful!”
The old man subconsciously took the black umbrella, and Nancy stood under the umbrella, looking back at Lilly.
Then he bowed deeply and said, “Thank you…”
Lilly smiled and waved at them, “You’re welcome!”
She watched the old man go away holding an umbrella.
The owner of the homestay didn’t know when he came out, and said with emotion, “Hey, the old man is alone…”
He could not see Nancy’s ghost, only the old man holding an umbrella alone.
Blake also explained the reason when he booked a boat with him just now, saying that the old man came alone to fulfill the promise he made to his lover when he was young.
“I hope he can feel more at ease when he comes back,” The boss said.
Lilly nodded, “Yes!”
From afar, she saw the old man getting on the boat, holding a black umbrella, and Grandma Nancy leaning on his shoulder.
Pablo sighed and said, “His lifespan is about to expire.”
Even if he did not jump into the sea, he only had a few days left.
Lilly, “Yeah.”
So she asked Grandma Nancy to come and pick him up.
“Let’s go, do you want to go back to sleep?” Blake picked up Lilly.
Lilly said, “Father, I’m five years old, I can walk by myself.”
Blake hummed, but did not let her go.
He knew that she was five years old, so there were not many times when he could carry her away.
When she was six or seven years old, went to elementary school, and had classmates and friends of her own, if she was carried away like this, she would be laughed at by her classmates.
Even older, twelve, thirteen… As a father, it would be difficult to carry her.
His little girl would eventually grow up too.
She would grow old and pass away like this old man…
At that time, he would also rebel against the rules of the underworld, to stay and wait for her, at least to see her sit safely in the throne of the Ruler of Hell before leaving…
A short life would hurry by like this.
In such a short life, a little bastard would abduct her in the future and take away his time with her…
Thinking of this, Blake could not help hugging Lilly even tighter.
At this moment, a little brat’s voice could be heard, “…Lilly.”
Lilly snorted, looked up and saw a large and a small figure standing outside the door of the homestay.
The older one was Aunt Melody.
The younger one was Ivan.
“Ivan! Wow, you guys are here for vacation too?” Lilly said happily.
Ivan nodded, “Yes.”
Blake, “…”
