Hospital No. 444.

Chapter 627 Unbelievable

"Yes."

What surprised Chris was that the other party answered his question without hesitation.

"We met when we watched the same movie. We were both fans of Bruce Lee. We watched the Chinese movie Ip Man 4 because Bruce Lee appeared in it."

When Chris heard her answer this question, he was suddenly in a trance.

After a long while, he finally said, "Are you newlyweds?"

He had the impression that the movie seemed to have been released in recent years.

"It's not..."

Then, she suddenly said, "Maybe what I'm going to say next will make you feel very abrupt and strange, but I still want to ask you. Do you... believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

Chris never expected that the other party would ask such a question.

"Why do you ask?"

"Intuitively, what do you think of this problem?"

intuition?

Chris never really thought about it.

"Ghosts, of course, don't exist. But since you asked, I guess you have a different opinion?"

"The United States is the country with the most people who believe in the existence of God on this planet. If you think God exists, why do you think ghosts don't exist?"

Chris was stunned.

"Sir, I tell you clearly that there are ghosts in this world."

Chris slowly closed the book in his hand.

"Have you ever seen a ghost? If so, tell me about it."

"Specifically... even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. This kind of thing is extremely absurd."

Chris is not a very curious person. Since the other party is unwilling to say more, he naturally won't say anything more.

"Anyway, thank you very much, ma'am."

"It's nothing. It's just a small matter."

Then, Chris continued reading the book in his hand.

The trains continued to run overnight.

After a long time, Chris also began to feel a little sleepy.

For him, when he arrives in Washington tomorrow, there will still be a lot of things to worry about.

For him now, his marriage with his wife is no longer salvageable. Although he knows this intellectually, emotionally, Chris still finds it hard to accept it.

But if things really develop to the worst possible point, the key will be the custody of my daughter.

My daughter is only five years old now.

When the court awards child custody to one parent in a divorce case, it generally considers the financial situation of both parties. If both parties are equally qualified, it will generally tend to award custody to the mother. Of course, the child's own wishes will also be taken into consideration.

But the problem now is... his wife won't let him see the child. She moved out of the house and only arranged for a lawyer to contact him. He came to Atlanta to meet with a very experienced divorce lawyer who was on a business trip here and wanted to hire him personally. After all, he was a university professor. Even if he lost his job temporarily because of his son, with his resume, as long as he can find a job as soon as possible and get custody of his daughter, he should still have a good chance of winning.

Of course, if divorce is avoided, that would be best.

Before getting married, Chris and his wife Anna both felt that they were each other's soul mates.

At least, that's what Anna told Chris at the time.

At that time, both of them firmly believed that only death could separate them, just as their wedding vows said.

The two of them knew each other because they watched the same movie, Casablanca. There is a line in the movie: There are so many cities in the world, and so many bars in the cities, but she just walked into mine.

They both knew this line by heart, and even though Chris was a science professor, he could still feel the romance of this line.

But it's all over in the end.

Reality is so ironic and distorted. There is no romance as imagined, only the bloody reality.

It has been several years since John's death, but Anna can't get over it. She can't accept the reality and finally puts all the blame on Chris.

"Ghosts...?" He really hoped that ghosts existed.

That way, he would be able to see his son coming back to him.

He hoped that everything could go back to the past. Maybe he would have had time to educate him better, so that he would not get addicted to drugs, run away from home out of rebellion and hang out with drug addicts, which would lead to his current situation.

Suddenly, he put down the book.

"Ma'am. Are you asleep?"

"No," the other party said immediately, "I didn't sleep."

"You just told me about ghosts...really? Can you tell me more about them?"

Chris was halfway through his speech when he realized that he seemed a little abrupt.

However, even if he felt it was abrupt, he still wanted to finish what he was saying.

He also doesn't know the meaning of what he is doing now.

Hearing this, the other party showed a hesitant look.

"Just forget what I just said..."

"I……"

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an awkward state.

Chris was just about to say "Okay then", but the other party suddenly spoke.

"Forget it, I'll tell you. Anyway, I can't find anyone else to talk to."

"it is good……"

Chris could see that she was filled with sorrow.

"My name is Melty... I'm going to Washington, D.C. to see my husband Alex. But I know very well that I won't be able to see him at all."

"what?"

About fifteen minutes later.

After listening to Melty's story, Chris stared at Melty in a daze, unable to believe his ears.

“Are you kidding me???”

At this moment, his expression was exactly the standard black question mark face.

"Ma'am, with all due respect, this is a bit..."

"Which part don't you believe? The part about ghosts, or the part about the paranormal hospital that cures curses?"

"Even if I believe in the existence of God, it's hard for me to believe in the existence of a supernatural hospital..."

"See, even if I tell you, you won't believe me. Right?"

This made Chris feel somewhat embarrassed, but he really couldn't believe her words.

"Excuse me, I, I'm going to go smoke a cigarette."

He left the seat in front of him and walked towards the back carriage.

After arriving at a more secluded corner, he took out a cigarette and quickly lit it.

For some reason, he always felt that the woman named Melty didn't seem to be lying.

Her expression, tone of voice...it all seemed like she was telling the truth.

But what came out were bizarre and unbelievable words.

"How could there be ghosts...monsters in this world..."

Suddenly, he found that the cigarette went out suddenly.

Chris was stunned.

A chilly feeling began to attack his back...
