Chapter 666
Spoiled (Lily)
Lilly gazed vacantly at the available options as if each one posed a fatal question and selecting any of them would be deemed wrong.
âWhy must there be blame?â Lilly whispered. âWhy are we compelled to divide ourselves into right and wrong?â
Considering this perspective, a clear stream of thought rushed into her mind instantly.
The clear stream flowed, jolting her racing mind awake in an instant.
Wait⦠Lilly was perplexed.
Was there a limit to whatâs right and wrong?
Doesnât that contradict cause and effect?
Cause and effect are cyclical and boundless.
So why must there be boundaries between right and wrong, and why must we label someone as wrong?
Lilly experienced a sudden enlightenment, and her eyes became crystal clear as the few options in front of her vanished without a trace.
She gazed ahead as if overlooking everything.
She saw life, each one was a shining star, converging into a vast sea of stars that now filled her vision.
Lilly smiled, and with a flick of her wrist, she put away the pen.
The pen of judgment merged with her mind, suspended before the sea of stars in her eyes.
The sea of stars and the pen of judgment moved and rotated slowly, following invisible rules.
âSo, thatâs how it is,â Lilly suddenly realized. âItâs so simple, just look at the sea of stars, look right in frontâ¦â
Hearing her muttering, Blake questioned, âWhat?â
No, it couldnât be that simple.
Lillyâs eyes refocused, and she exclaimed cheerfully, âI know now, Daddy!â
Blake was astonished. âWell⦠you truly are my daughter!â
Donât worry about it, praise her first!
Lilly wore a smile.
She stepped out of the car once again and stood in front of Tracyâs parents.
Tracyâs parents had seen her suddenly freeze earlier, and in a panic, Blake had hurriedly carried her into the car, thinking she had fallen sick.
They stopped crying, and awkwardly stood up, grabbing each otherâs hands, their gazes fixed on the black SUV.
It turned out that Lilly had stepped out of the car again as if nothing had happenedâ¦
She ushered them both inside and reassured them, saying, âSir, Maâam, you havenât done anything wrong. Donât worry about what those bad people say.â
âLetâs focus on honoring Tracy! Thatâs what matters, right?â
Tracyâs parents looked at each other with complex emotions and walked slowly as if they had come to a realization.
Then, Lilly brought Tracyâs soul up, and in the front hall, there was a table with incense and talismans for burning, to send Tracy off. They bid their farewells, and there was no regret or tears as they parted this time.
Gradually, they began to feel a sense of relief.
Tracy smiled mischievously. âMom and Dad, Iâm leaving! I heard I can be reincarnated into a very wealthy family! How great is that?â
Tracyâs parents wiped their tears and nodded. âYes, Tracy, youâre the best.â
Tracy laughed again. âBut Iâll miss you too much! Youâre still young, you can have a second child! Iâll come back in three years.â
Tracyâs parents stammered, âHuh?â
Tracy waved at them. âSo you must take care of your health! Live well, because, after all, Iâll be reincarnated into a very, very rich and influential family, and itâll depend on you.â
Tracyâs parents felt a mix of terror, surprise, apprehension, and heartache.
Will we be able to meet again?
Tracy raised her arm and pointed to a birthmark. âHey, remember this birthmark. I wonât recognize you when the time comes, but youâll know itâs me.â
There was a black mark on her arm.
Tracyâs parents nodded repeatedly. âOkay.â
âMom, remember, donât worry, Tracyâ¦â
As Tracy vanished once again, Tracyâs mother, unable to recognize her, took a few steps forward, wiping her tears and saying, âRemember to come back⦠you must come backâ¦â
The figure disappeared completely, and the vibrant yellow flames in front of their eyes extinguished.
Lilly stood up, clapped her hands, and said, âAlright, you two take care!â
âLive well.â
âIn this vast world, even after parting, there will always be reunions, so stay strong!â
Lilly smiled and waved goodbye to them, got into the car, and drove away.
Tracyâs parents regained their composure.
Lilly was right. They will meet again.
Tracy would return, without a doubt.
âHoney, letâs quickly tidy up and workâ¦â
Tracyâs dad added, âLetâs change our phone number too. Those people might come looking for us here.
Letâs leaveâ¦â
Even if they had to leave their hometown, they needed to find a place where nobody knew them, so no one could bother them.
They would work hard. Even though theyâre in their middle age, they could still strive.
Tracy said she would be reincarnated into a wealthy family, and they would surely become prosperousâ¦
âLetâs go!â
The two of them swiftly packed their belongings and left their home that very day, venturing far awayâ¦
Perhaps when they returned, it would be a time when everyone had forgotten about the past.
By then, they might have saved up enough money to renovate their home and start a small business in town.
They did not desire wealth and power. They simply longed to be reunited with Tracy.
Three years later, Tracyâs parents welcomed a new daughter into their lives, and the baby girl had a black birthmark on her arm.
They knew that Tracy had returned.
This was a story for another time.
â¦
As Lilly settled into the car, she lay down behind the driverâs seat and watched her father drive.
Blake was still concerned and asked, âWhatâs on your mind, Lilly?â
Lilly replied, âDaddy, itâs better to have money!â
Blake was puzzled.
