Chapter 53 Night Shadow
In the dim room, the man was typing on the keyboard in front of the computer, concentrating on making a report that was not urgently needed.He knew he couldn't sleep even if he went to bed now.Those memories that he deliberately didn't think about would strike in the dark, gnawing at his battered soul.

Arlene, Arlene.

On the street outside the window, a car passed by, and a familiar slender figure was projected from behind onto the wall in front of him, and was quickly elongated under the light of the distant car lights, drawing a strange arc.The man was startled and turned his head suddenly——

But there was no one behind, nor anything else, only the bleak walls.Things are different, last year's wedding photos are still hanging on the wall.He turned around and the shadow disappeared again.

But he was sure that he saw it right, it was the shadow of his wife, he could recognize her figure and outline, and even seemed to recognize her fluttering long hair and dress.And this is not the first time. Over the past month or so, he has often been able to see his wife's shadow in a half-dream and half-awake state, and hear faint footsteps, but he can't see anyone.He was not afraid, on the contrary, he longed to see his wife.

"A Lin, is it really you? You... are you coming to see me?" He was very excited, but he didn't hear the answer.He didn't turn on the light, for fear of scaring away his wife's soul, but he looked around the room, looking for clues.

He didn't find anything, but when he walked back to the table, he suddenly saw something new in front of him.

There is a pair of glasses in front of the computer, a new pair of thin-rimmed half-rim glasses, the streamlined frame shape is very unique, and the lenses reflect a faint light under the computer screen.

Of course he remembered that pair of glasses was bought by Arlene for his birthday. The style was very beautiful, but it was not easy to wear firmly.While driving on the road that day, the temples of his glasses somehow slipped off his ears and fell under the driver's seat, blurring his vision.Arlene in the co-pilot said, "I'll pick it up for you." But she couldn't reach it, so he bent down by himself, and when he raised his head, he saw a large truck rushing from the opposite side... His life was shattered in an instant.

The car was destroyed, he was fine, not even the glasses were broken, but his wife left him forever, left this world, and was separated from him forever.

He once wanted to destroy the glasses that caused tragedy, but it was also the last connection between him and Arlene. He was really reluctant to destroy it, so he didn't know where to put it in a corner—but why did it appear on the table again?
Arlene, are you trying to tell me something?He thought, picked up his glasses and looked at it carefully.He soon discovered that the lens not only reflected the light from the computer, but also glowed by itself like a night pearl, and a strange light faintly seeped out from the lens.

Could it be that Arlene's soul is attached to this pair of glasses?His heart was beating wildly, and he put on his glasses, only to feel that his eyes became extremely dazzling, and he couldn't keep his eyes open.

After he got used to the light, he saw the whole room changed.The room was lit with a floor lamp, bathed in warm light, many photos and relics of his wife that he put away appeared in the room, and he also heard the violin music that his wife loved to listen to...

Under the light, the shadow appeared again, this time staying steadily on the wall in front of him.The man took a deep breath and turned his head.

He saw his beloved wife standing in front of him with tears streaming down her face and her beautiful face reduced.

"Husband, I miss you so much..." he heard his wife murmur.He reached out tremblingly, wanting to touch her.Before he could react, Arlene took a few steps forward, walked straight through his body, sat down on the chair, picked up something on the table, and gently stroked it.He managed to recognize that it was a pair of spectacles, a pair of spectacles that had been charred black, leaving only the frame, the streamlined frame was still eye-catching.

"This...is this pair of glasses?" He looked at his wife in surprise, but is there something missing?
Her slender shadow is reflected on the wall under the light, and she looks very lonely.He suddenly understood that he was clearly behind Arlene, but there was only her shadow, not his, not at all.
