Hospital No. 444

"Yes."

What surprised Chris was that the other party answered his question without hesitation.

"We met when we watched the same movie. We were both fans of Bruce Lee. We watched the Chinese movie "Ip Man 4" because Bruce Lee appeared in it."

When he heard her answer this question, Chris was in a trance.

After a long time, he said, "Are you newlyweds?"

In his impression, the movie seemed to be released in recent years.

"Not really..."

Then, she suddenly said, "Maybe what I'm going to say next will make you feel very abrupt and weird, but I still want to ask you. Do you... believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

Chris never thought that the other party would ask such a question.

"Why do you ask this?"

"From an intuitive point of view, what do you think of this question?"

Intuition?

Chris has never thought about this question seriously.

"Ghosts, of course, don't exist. But since you asked this, I guess you have a different opinion?"

"The United States is the country with the most people who believe in the existence of God on this planet. Since you think God exists, why do you think ghosts don't exist?"

Chris was stunned.

"Sir, I tell you clearly that ghosts do exist in this world."

Chris slowly closed the book in his hand.

"Have you ever seen a ghost? If so, you can tell me about it."

"Specifically... even if I tell you, you won't believe it. This kind of thing is very absurd."

Chris is not a very curious person. Since the other party is unwilling to say more, then he naturally won't say more.

"Anyway, thank you very much, ma'am."

"It's okay. It's just a small matter."

Then, Chris continued to read the book in his hand.

The train continued to run overnight.

After a long time, Chris began to feel a little sleepy.

For him, there will still be a lot of things to worry about when he arrives in Washington tomorrow.

For him now, his marriage with his wife is no longer possible. Although he knew this intellectually, Chris still found it hard to accept emotionally.

But if things really develop to the worst, the key is the custody of his daughter.

His daughter is only five years old now.

When the court awards custody of a child to one parent in a divorce case, 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... his wife doesn't let him see the child at all. She moved out of the house and only arranged for a lawyer to contact him. He came to Atlanta to meet with a very experienced divorce lawyer who was on a business trip here in person, and wanted to hire him personally. After all, he used to be a university professor. Even if he temporarily lost his job because of his son, with his resume, as long as he can find a job as soon as possible and get custody of his daughter, he should still have a good chance of winning.

Of course, it would be best if they could avoid divorce.

Before getting married, Chris and his wife Anna both felt that they were each other's soulmates.

At least, that's what Anna said to Chris at the time.

At the time, both of them firmly believed that only death could separate them. Just like the wedding vows said.

The reason why they met each other was because they watched the same movie, which was called "Casablanca". In this movie, there is a line: There are so many cities in the world, and so many bars in the cities, but she just walked into mine.

Both of them can almost recite this line. Even as a science professor, Chris deeply felt the romance of this line.

But everything is over after all.

Reality is so ironic and distorted. There is no imagined romance, only the bloody reality.

It has been several years since John's death, but Anna can't get over it. She can't accept the reality, and finally put all the responsibility on Chris.

"Ghost...?"

He really hopes that ghosts exist.

In that case, he can see his son coming back to find him.

He hoped that everything could go back to the past, maybe he could have educated him better in time, so that he would not get addicted to drugs, so that he would not run away from home for rebellion and hang out with drug addicts, which would lead to what he is now.

Suddenly, he put down the book.

"Madam. Are you asleep?"

"No," the other party said immediately: "I am not asleep."

"You just told me about ghosts... Is that right? Can you tell me more about it?"

Chris was halfway through his words when he felt that he seemed a little abrupt.

However, even if he felt abrupt, he wanted to finish his words.

He didn't know what the meaning of what he was doing now was.

Hearing this, the other party showed a hesitant look.

"Just forget what I said just now..."

"I..."

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an awkward state.

Chris was about to say "Okay then", but the other party suddenly spoke.

"Forget it, I'll tell you. Anyway, I can't find anyone else to talk to."

"Okay..."

Chris could see that she was filled with sadness.

"My name is Melty...I am going to Washington, D.C., to meet my husband Alex. However, I know very well that I will not be able to see him at all."

"What?"

About fifteen minutes later.

After listening to Melty's story, Chris stared 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.

"Ma'am, with all due respect, this is really a bit..."

"Which part don't you believe? The ghost part, or the supernatural hospital part that cures curses?"

"Even if I believe in the existence of God, it's hard to believe in a supernatural hospital..."

"See, even if I tell you, you can't believe what I say. Isn't it?"

This made Chris feel a little embarrassed. However, he really couldn't believe her words.

"Sorry, I, I'm going to have a cigarette."

He left the seat in front of him and walked towards the car behind him.

After arriving at a relatively remote corner, he took out his cigarette and quickly lit it.

Somehow, he always felt that the woman named Melty didn't seem to be lying.

Her expression, tone of voice... all seemed to be telling the truth.

But what he said was unbelievable and unbelievable.

"How can there be ghosts and monsters in this world?"

Suddenly, he found that the cigarette was suddenly extinguished.

Chris was stunned.

A cold feeling began to hit his back...
