Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 299 - 302 is not the dead, but the living.

Chapter 299: 302 is not the dead, but the living.

A casual sentence halted Tang Xiaohua’s movements.

The Witch slowly sat in front of her, her eyes tender and compassionate.

It was unknown how long one had to practice before they could become like the Witch, able to regard everything in the world with such gentleness.

"Death is irreversible, and that is the law of growth for all things in the world. No one can change that."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua pursed her lips, her gaze fixed intently on the Witch.

"In your past life, you wouldn’t have guarded against me like this, your demeanor... would probably have been like Miss Bai’s, friendly and enthusiastic, cheeky and mischievous."

Tang Xiaohua’s almond eyes widened—she really knew!

"Still on guard?"

"..."

The Witch spoke with a smile, unhurried and calm, but Tang Xiaohua felt somewhat out of control, unsure of how to respond.

Someone really knew she had been reborn, someone truly knew!

That dangerous and lonely heart momentarily felt as if it had been stirred by a torchlight.

"Grandmother..."

Tears welled up in Tang Xiaohua’s eyes...

The Witch stood up, gently caressed her forehead with her hand, which was rough yet warm, and slowly the crumbling emotions were collected back.

"Although the memories of the past life are vivid and profound, I often still feel... might it be a fantasy? The deeper I think, the tighter the knot becomes, and I can’t understand... why I can..."

The Witch sat beside her, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her, leaving Tang Xiaohua momentarily stunned.

"It’s okay, you won’t fall asleep."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua pursed her lips.

The Witch sighed and didn’t press her, knowing she was highly guarded,

"Everyone has secrets, the more and bigger they are, the lonelier one feels, and of course, there is fear and dread of the unknown."

"There are too many things in this world that ordinary people cannot understand and believe. People often fear these, whether they experience them firsthand or hear about them."

"Perhaps it’s because human life is limited, so is our exposure, feelings, understanding, and cognition."

The Witch murmured,

"I know you have many questions, but unfortunately, I can’t answer them for you."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua stared at her, dumbfounded.

The Witch smiled,

"But I can tell you that you are not the only one who has gone through this."

"There are others..."

"According to records, two to three appear every six hundred to a thousand years."

"...You didn’t say that a human lives for hundred years, and their soul lives for a thousand years, then... isn’t that..."

"Rebirth of the soul requires conditions."

Tang Xiaohua tentatively asked, suspecting, "Is it because those who have died have too deep regrets and obsessions, just like in many fantasy stories, because of too heavy resentments, then..."

The Witch looked at her indulgently,

"You’re a bit like your previous self now."

Tang Xiaohua touched her nose and hurriedly asked, "Is it like what I said?"

The Witch said,

"You’re half right."

Tang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows.

"It’s not the deceased, but rather the person most closely related to you who is still alive..."

"..."

"It’s the obsession of the living person about you."

Tang Xiaohua’s chest burst with shock, her heart pounding rapidly and fiercely.

Her mind was flooded with countless thoughts, and she unconsciously picked up the fragrant tea and sipped it, her hand shaking slightly...

She had many questions to ask, just as she was about to speak, her mind became peaceful, and she also fell asleep...

When she woke up, she was in her own room, the sunlight was shining through the window, and there was a knock on the door, "bang bang bang."

"Guard Tang!"

Tang Xiaohua hurriedly got up to open the door, Qu Yu stood at the doorstep with a stern face, "Why aren’t you on duty?"

"...Secretary Qu, the Witch, where’s the Witch!"

"She went back to Ryan Castle early this morning, what’s wrong?"
