Chapter 260: Chapter 51: The Cruel Choice

Two murder cases plunged Blue Island into an unprecedented panic.

The islanders began to feel fearful, and some rumors started to spread.

And Dai Lin soon discovered...

The police were not conducting further investigations into these murders.

It was as if some mysterious force was influencing them, causing them to hastily wrap up the cases, ending with no formal proceedings.

Dai Lin quickly realized...

This was Han Ming’s doing.

He seemed to effortlessly enslave people’s minds and implant a part of his own consciousness into others’ brains. However, there must have been significant limitations; otherwise, he wouldn’t have always been unable to defeat Yin Wuque.

Ji Danshu ultimately personally took care of the mortuary makeup for her two relatives... For a mortician, handling the funeral arrangements for one’s own family was clearly the most painful task.

In the end, she decided to bury them in the ground.

There were no gravestones on the island because all the deceased were ultimately given a sea burial.

So, she found a stonemason on the island to create gravestones for her deceased father and brother.

When the stonemason asked how to engrave the birth and death years of the father, Ji Danshu was at a loss for words... Ultimately, she started with the year of her father’s birth and ended with this year, which was 2022.

The next issue was the coffins. Although she worked in the funeral industry, coffins were not needed on this island. Therefore, she had no choice but to order two high-quality coffins from off the island.

...

On the day of the funeral.

It was raining.

The shrouds for her father and brother were all made by her own hands. For Ji Danshu, who had helped her father handle bodies since she was young, embalming her father and brother was not a difficult task.

What was truly difficult was watching them get nailed into coffins and buried in the ground.

It is strange to say...

At that moment, Ji Danshu, on the contrary, couldn’t cry at all.

Despite the immense grief, she just couldn’t shed a tear.

Even Hai Yin felt the same as herself.

On the contrary, it was Hai Han who cried the hardest at the funeral.

Ji Danshu looked at Hai Han, weeping and hugging Ji Danyang’s coffin, and she felt a bout of dizziness.

Ji Danshu knew...

She would come back.

The Paranormal Doctor couldn’t protect her forever.

Next time, she would come to kill her! And she might even harm her children!

After the funeral was over...

Ji Danshu called all the relevant people to her house.

Including Dai Lin, Dai Ming, and Pan Yizhen.

"Dr. Dai, I have made up my mind,"

holding the card from Hospital 444, Ji Danshu said, "Let my children be hospitalized. First, have them checked to make sure there are no soul-related issues. I will cover all the Spiritual Therapy Points."

Hai Jian Shi was about to say that he would cover the Spiritual Therapy Points when she took out another file bag.

"Jian Shi, since everyone is here today, I might as well speak openly,"

Ji Danshu placed the file bag on the table, saying, "I have consulted a lawyer... This is the divorce agreement drafted by the lawyer. I can give you everything, but the children... I hope they stay by my side."

"You..." Hai Jian Shi never expected Ji Danshu to pull out a divorce agreement!

"Mom, you..." Hai Han immediately took Ji Danshu’s hand, saying, "Mom, why do you want to divorce Dad?"

"The person your father wanted to marry from the start wasn’t me. And that person, no... that ghost, killed your grandfather and your uncle. I can’t lose you two as well."

And Hai Han, looking at his sister Hai Yin’s expression, suddenly understood something: "Sister, did you know all along?"

Hai Yin nodded woodenly.

"I know everything."

Ji Danshu then looked at Hai Jian Shi and said, "Sign it, the divorce papers. Compared to my child’s life, sacrificing my marriage with you is completely acceptable to me."

Hai Jian Shi shook his head and said, "Danshu, listen to me..."

"The child is my final bottom line!" Ji Danshu yelled with all her might, "That day! I already knelt down and begged her! I begged her! To let my brother go! Marrying you was a mistake, Jian Shi! You should have recognized that she was the reincarnation of Mei Hanyin!"

Hai Han’s face turned deathly pale.

And then...

Pan Yizhen walked behind Hai Han and Hai Yin, covering their ears.

"How about I take you out to play for a bit?"

Afterward, Pan Yizhen took the two children and left the room.

"Pan... Sister Pan," in these past two days, Hai Han and Pan Yizhen had become quite close as well, "Will daddy and mommy really get a divorce?"

Pan Yizhen looked at the brother and sister before her as if she were looking at herself from the past.

She remembered... the day her parents took her to the amusement park.

Between daddy and mommy... whom should she choose?

They forced Pan Yizhen to make the cruelest of choices.

At that moment, the door of the room behind her opened, and Dai Ming came out.

"I hadn’t expected things to escalate to this extent." Dai Ming said, joining Pan Yizhen, the only one who knew why Pan Yizhen’s reaction was so intense.

But, both Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen could completely understand Ji Danshu’s feelings.

She could not endure seeing her children facing life-threatening danger anymore.

The evil spirit’s killings had driven her to the verge of collapse.

And this evil spirit was none other than her husband’s lover from his past life. So, Ji Danshu’s proposal for a divorce didn’t surprise Dai Ming at all.

"If, if your dad and mom asked you to choose whom to stay with, what would you say?"

Pan Yizhen had never imagined that one day she would ask someone else this question.

Hai Yin, seemingly much more mature than Hai Han, didn’t hesitate and said, "I’ll go with daddy."

Pan Yizhen didn’t ask why, she could tell Hai Yin had been mentally prepared for this day’s arrival for a long time.

"What about you, Hai Han?"

Hai Han’s face grew even more pallid.

He didn’t know how to answer the question.

"Must I answer? Do I have to choose one?"

"Yes. You must choose one."

"How can this be! How can you be so cruel! Why must you force me to make such a choice? Sister Pan, if your dad and mom asked you such a question, could you truly answer it?"

Could I answer it?

Could I answer it?

Now, Pan Yizhen found it very hard to recall how she had thought and answered at the amusement park that day.

After all, the choice was too cruel.

Dai Ming quickly said to Hai Han, "I understand how you feel, but..."

"No." Pan Yizhen interjected, "No one can understand what he’s feeling right now. Including me. But, Hai Han, life is like this sometimes, you’re forced to make choices, whether you like it or not."

Pan Yizhen had often resented her parents, but now she felt a bit of regret.

If she were to die like this, at least... she should have said a proper goodbye to her father.

"I can’t choose..." Hai Han began to cry.

Pan Yizhen embraced the young boy in her arms.

Even for a boy, crying in such a situation is understandable.

It was a cruel choice that had thrust a young child... prematurely into the world of adults.
