Chapter 234 Jinx, Please Don’t Die.

Nancy had thought that Symon was just sick and would soon be cured, but today she realized that he was going to die.

Nancy hugged Symon tightly and cried badly, an overwhelming sense of panic hitting her.

She had experienced other’s death before when she was even younger than now.

Grandmother was her only family member in Stream Village. At that time, she hadn’t understood what death meant. grandmother closed her eyes and her hand which had been holding Nancy just now fell, Nancy was panicked and empty in heart, crying and shouting “Grandmom”, but grandmother would never come back.

That was the first time she faced death, and after her grandmother died, she was all alone and had no home.

So, Nancy had always been very afraid that people around her would die. She was particularly concerned about her brothers’ physical health and always urged them to have meals on time.

Now when she knew that Jinx had not much time, Nancy was really terrified and cried almost out of breath.

“Don’t cry.”

Symon squatted down and hugged Nancy. He was much thinner than before. His face and hands were thin, pale and sickly. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

He wiped the tears off Nancy’s face gently with his hands. The blessing band given by Nancy endowing him with security was still tied around his thin wrist. Although it was not much useful,

Symon didn’t take it off.

“Do you know where people go after they die?”

Nancy stared at the frail boy in front of her with her watery eyes, her face flushed with tears. She grabbed his palms with her two small hands in a hurry.

“The world where people are alive is called the Upperworld, while, after people die, they go to a world called the Underworld, which is invisible to our eyes. After I die, my soul will go to the Underworld where I will meet the souls of many people who have died, including my relatives and even your relatives.” Symon said in a gentle voice.

As Nancy listened to him, she unknowingly turned quiet, with her face full of pitiful teras which made people feel heartbroken.

Symon pulled her over to sit down and continued, “So death doesn’t mean I disappear forever. I will just live in another place in a different way.”

“Re… really? But the books say… The books say it is not true.” Nancy held his hand tightly and asked.

“Of course, it is true. What the books tell you is not necessarily true. The world after death is invisible to us and who can guarantee that it does not exist?” Symon said seriously.

Nancy closed her mouth tightly and didn’t speak, her big eyes focusing on him.

Symon smiled and continued, “So, see, death is not so terrible, right? And if I have had enough of playing in the Underworld and do not want to stay there, then my soul will be reincarnated to return to this world in a new way.”

“Jinx, will you come back?” Nancy wiped the tears from her face with her little hand and asked.

“Sure, but the next time I don’t want to become a human being. Being a human being is so tiring. When people are young, they have no survival ability and have to depend on others. If I come back, I want to be a wolf.” Symon rubbed her head and answered.

“Why?”

“Because animals have a very short growth period. After a few months or maybe a year, they can grow up to hunt and feed themselves. As for why I want to be a wolf, it's because that I have promised that I want to be a wolf to protect you.” Symon smiled and told her.

“I don’t want you to protect me. I want you to live well.” Nancy said in a gloomy voice.

She didn’t know if the other world that he said really existed, but she knew that he must have been comforting her to keep her from worrying.

She also tried to restrain herself from crying to make sure he wouldn’t worry her.

He was not well now. It would be even worse if he worried her.

“But…but I am so sad…” Nancy thought.

After a long time, the ward door was opened and Shawn, Ivan, Adam and Sean ran in breathlessly, all of whom were with an anxious expression. Not until they saw Nancy, they were eased.

But what was going on now?

Shawn immediately sensed that Nancy knew it.

He sighed in his heart and walked over to rub his little cousin’s head.

“Shawn.”

Nancy pursed her lips and tears swelled up in her eyes. She didn’t want to cry but she couldn’t control it with her nose twitching.

“Do you want to go out to play?” Picking her up, Shawn wiped off his tears and asked.

“Why?”

Nancy was confused and asked in a cheerless voice as she had cried.

“You, Jinx and I will go to see the outside world, will you?”

Symon looked at Shawn with a little astonishment.

“But… but I have to go to school.” Nancy answered.

“Do you get what all the teachers have taught you?”

Nancy nodded her head as she hugged his neck.

Shawn pinched the back of her neck with his slightly cold fingers. “Then it’s fine to take a few days off, and you can study even outside.”

“Okay.”

Nancy obediently nodded her head and agreed.

Shawn immediately asked for a few days off for Nancy.

Nancy’s headteacher was a little unwilling but agreed.

Concerning why the teachers were a little unwilling, their classes were active and they were all energetic when Nancy was in the class.

At night, Marcus and others knew that Nancy would take a few days off when Nancy was taken by Neil to go to bed.

“Nancy accompanies Symon to go out to play? Are you crazy?” Martin frowned and scold.

“She knew that Symon doesn’t have much time and cried badly.” Shawn said in a cold and emotionless voice.

Others were silent.

They had thought that they kept it secret as long as possible and hadn’t imagined that she would know it finally.

At this time, Adam exclaimed. “I want to go too! I can take a few days off and accompany Nancy.”

“No way.” Marcus refused.

“Why?” Adam shouted with his eyes opening wide.

“Have you finished all your courses?” Marcus asked in a cold tone.

Adam thought,

“It’s unbelievable that I have finished all my winter holiday homework. You would expect that I can review the lessons I haven’t taken in advance? No way!” Adam thought,

Sitting straight, Shawn casually read a book on the chair. He was distant and elegant.

“I proposed it because Nancy has reviewed her second-grade courses.”

Adam was wordless and was suddenly dejected.

“I can review them when I am back.”

“No!” His brothers said in unison.

Adam thought,

"You guys just bully me because I am the youngest boy in the family."

He was sad and angry, but he could not resist.

When Marcus and Martin knew that Shawn will go with Nancy, they felt much relieved. Well, Ivan would go with them too.

Given Ivan’s character, it meant that Shawn had to take care of two kids.

The thing was settled. The next day Shawn went to the hospital to ask for a leave although the director of the hospital was so unwilling to let him go and almost grabbed Shawn’s hands and cried as if he was sending his son away.

Of course, in the end, Shawn still managed to take a leave.
