Chapter 237 Then, thats my wish... (1/2)

Upon hearing her last remarks, Lexi bit her trembling lower lip as hard as she could. Droplets of tears started to fall from her eyes one after another. She could feel her heart thump in a painful way as saliva choked her throat.

”No, you can't... ” Were the only words that escaped her mouth as Lexi once again attempted to hold her. Yet, every failed attempt broke her heart. She was still in front of her, the adorable, cheerful dumpling but why… why was her heart aching as if she lost her already?

”No, no, you can't— you can't, Churu.” Despite the striking pain piercing her heart, Lexi didn't stop from trying to hold her. ”Please… why can't I— don't do this…” Choking, Lexi sobbed as her desperation grew stronger and stronger.

”My last wish, yes that's it! I don't want you to go— just stay with me forever. I will make you tons of facial masks and gift you all the skincare you ever want! You like them right? I will also make you loads of good dresses, right?! Sissy, quick unmute the system so I can make my last wish! You can't leave me.” Recalling her sliver of hope, Lexi clasped her hands together as her eyes slightly brightened while she proposed all the things that Churu loved in this world.

”You can't…”

”Churu! This is my wish and stop saying nonsense! Just do what I tell you, okay?” Furious, Lexi gritted her teeth as she felt like smacking this dumpling's little head by her stubbornness. Even so, Lexi was more hurt that Churu was saying this stuff to her.

Doesn't she want to stay with her just like what Lexi desired? Did she grow tired of her drama and hence she didn't want to stay longer? Were the memories they shared together, their happy giggles, their not so fun facts, the scrubbing each other's back while bathing sessions, and most importantly, the heartwarming hugs they exchanged— did Churu not value them?

”Sissy, can you just stay and let's just live happily together? Have you grown tired of me?” With this said note, Lexi covered her mouth as a muffled sob was released as an overwhelming void marked itself on her heart— leaving it empty and lonely.

”Lexi, Morris Liu is dying at this moment— it's all over the news. Use your wish to help him live— you still love him right?” Slowly flying in front of her, Churu rubbed the back of her hand that was on the surface of the table. Alas, although it seemed she was touching her, Churu could not feel the warmth of her host's hand and if she pushed her hand a little more— it will pass through like a spirit that she originally was.

”Your love for him might not be just like it is for Ethan Lu, but, I know… you still love him as a big brother.” Raising her welling gaze, Churu gently smiled as she finally understood Lexi's faithful heart.

”One way or another, whether it is today or the next few decades, we will have to bid our farewell. Lexi, you will grow old and eventually leave this world but I won't. Also, I will be alone and lonely if I have to witness you die again— I might end up committing a crime again.” Pursing her white lips, Churu leaned her cheeks on the back of her hand hoping to feel her for the last time. Alas, this situation was truly cruel to her as Churu felt her soul slowly fade and lighten.

”So, please, let me be selfish and save me from going through all that— use your wish as my last wish as well.” Tears dripped down on Churu's eyes that passed through Lexi's hand.

Lexi did not respond as the hand she used to cover her mouth gently lowered— attempting to pat the dumpling's back. But the moment she did, Lexi sobbed even more as her shoulders trembled because she could only pretend to pat her back.

”Is that... what you really want?” In between her hiccups, Lexi's heart clenched— stopping her heartbeat for a second. ”Can you just ask God not to let you go and stay with me? Can't you... do that?”

”Mhmm, I can't.” Churu's voice sounded weak and muffled. Her glow grew dim as she slowly turning transparent. Seeing this, Lexi's back uncontrollably trembled as she bit her lower lip even harder— suppressing her hysterical cries.
