After being inspected by professionals, the photos, videos, etc. brought by Edith and others from the island were judged to be authentic.This conclusion caused a sensation in the scientific community and also received great attention from the police.

In order to avoid further tragedies, various newspapers, radio, and television have released news, claiming that the island is in great danger. The police have sent professionals to investigate, and the public must not go to the island without authorization.If someone privately drives a boat to send others to the island, regardless of the reason, they will be severely punished.

At the same time, scientific research teams from all over the world rushed to the island under the protection of fully armed police.

To open a new century of science is the lifelong wish of many scientists.Even if they need to risk their lives for this, they are willing to do so.In the process of research, their understanding of ghosts has gradually changed.

After all, they are all human beings.Perhaps compared to ordinary people, they lack a part of reason, and they look terrifying.But they still have the seven emotions and six desires, they still know how to love and hate, and some even retain a kind heart, which cannot be summed up by the simple word "devil".

Victoria and Pete returned to school quietly.Out of protection for them and to avoid causing panic, the news of the death of Jack and others was covered up by the police, and they were all declared missing.

One day a month later, Edith accompanied Victoria to school.At the school gate, she saw Jack (the one who was burned to death) hugging and saying goodbye to his mother. "Jack" also saw Victoria, gave her a friendly smile, and walked into the school.

Victoria looked at Edith blankly.

"He is the dog named Sandy." Edith said, "Jack's mother is terminally ill and can only live for six months at most. She once took care of Sandy and his baby, so Sandy wants to repay the favor." , spend the last years with her."

"Does the police know?" Victoria asked.

"Of course I know," Edith said, "the police set a lot of rules for her. For example, she must call the police when going to other places except school and home. Another example is to go every weekend. The police station, make a report. She is also secretly followed by someone, and if she has any hurtful behavior or intention, the police will take immediate action."

Victoria frowned, feeling a little displeased.Is Sandy being treated as a prisoner?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the police doing this.For one thing, compared to weak humans, the lethality of ghosts is really terrifying.Second, it is human nature to fear the unknown.Don't talk about others, just say Victoria.Didn't Edith, who had raised Victoria for so many years, be terrified of her for a long time after she put on her glasses?Not to mention these people who have never come into contact with ghosts.

Only now, the balance in Victoria's heart has gradually tilted to the other side.Especially after experiencing the crisis of life and death on the small island.As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend.Whether it was Sandy's gratitude or Edith's several rescues, she was shocked.

"Okay, Victoria, let's go to school." After that, Edith kissed Victoria, turned and left.

Before stepping into the school gate, Victoria turned her head and watched Edith's back intently.

Ever since she left the island, there was one scene she could never forget in her mind, that is, the scene where Angela poured holy water on Edith.At that moment, her world seemed to be a slow-moving movie. Whether it was the scene of holy water pouring on Edith or the scene of Edith falling down, they were all decomposed into countless slow motions in her eyes.

She didn't know what words to use to describe her mood.She also didn't know what gave her the courage to directly raise the cross and rush towards the opponent she couldn't defeat without any thought.

"It's love!" Victoria was shocked when she heard such a sentence suddenly.

Following the voice, she looked over and saw not far away, Tina looked at Angela's back and shouted emotionally: "It is my love for you that gave me courage, determination and patience. Ann Qila, I really don't understand. In your heart, why can't I be compared to a so-called illusory future when I get along day and night?"

"I also really want to ask the you she was talking about," Angela said with a long sigh of relief, "why our relationship for so many years is not as good as a Caddy who just popped up out of nowhere? Why have we been lovers for so many years?" , suddenly became a younger sister."

That "Angela" died with resentment.She hated Tina, and she hated Caddy.But after she died, she did not become a ghost, but returned to Angela, who had just entered her freshman year, in the state of a soul.She used the ability she had after becoming a soul to let Angela see everything in the future.

At first, Angela was naturally dubious.But when she found out that all the plots were going according to what she saw, especially when she found out that Caddy really liked Tina, her heart was broken all of a sudden.It was also because of this that her attitude towards Tina was suddenly turned upside down, and she did not believe her no matter what.

"But I'm not that person." Tina felt aggrieved, "Why should I suffer such punishment for a crime committed by a person I don't know?"

"That's right!" Victoria said suddenly.

Tina and Angela were taken aback for a moment, and looked at her at the same time.

"That's right, it's because of love!" Victoria felt suddenly enlightened, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened, "Hahaha, I finally figured it out!"

She ran over with a smile and gnawed on Tina's head: "Tina, you are so right, it is because of love!"

"What?" Tina was stunned. Is the child sleepy?

"That's right, it's because of love!" Victoria smiled happily as she ran into the school gate, "I did it because of love!"

Tina and Angela looked at each other, wondering what happened to Victoria today.

When Tina was in a daze, Angela suddenly stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and repeatedly wiped the spot where Victoria had gnawed.

"Angela?" Tina was taken aback.

Angela didn't say a word, but focused on wiping.After a while, she stuffed the handkerchief into Tina's hand and said, "Wash it and return it to me." Although there was disgust in her eyes, there was a bit of arrogance in her demeanor.

It had been many years since Tina had seen Angela speak to her in this manner, and she was suddenly a little lost.But she woke up very quickly. Although Angela's words were still so aggressive, her expression... clearly meant to be intimate!

Tina hurriedly folded the handkerchief carefully, then wrapped it with her own handkerchief, and put it in the handbag, as if it was some kind of rare treasure.As a result, the action was too flustered, and the contents of the bag spilled out again.

Seeing her flustered look, Angela couldn't help turning her head to the side, and laughed quietly.

"I solemnly announce that starting today you will be placed on probation." Angela said, "The company implements a point deduction system with a full score of [-] points. Since you were kissed by Victoria just now, [-] points will be deducted. If you fail the score , Suspended for inspection. Score zero, expulsion." After finishing speaking, she turned and left.

That's right, because of love, and because Tina in this life didn't make any mistakes.Therefore, she was willing to give Tina a chance.

Tina had been bending over to pick something up.Upon hearing this, her movements stopped.

After a while, she threw the thing in her hand into the air, and she jumped up: "Oye!"

"Angela, I will definitely return to my post!"

Victoria had never looked forward to leaving school so much.She couldn't wait to get home and tell Edith how she felt.But it was her turn to be on duty today, so she had to stay.After finally sweeping the floor, wiping the windows, and returning the tables and benches, she flew home with her satchel on her back.

When she stepped through the door, Lily was already home, along with her boyfriend Eddie.

"Victoria is back?" Annabelle said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, we'll be eating right away."

"Annabelle, where is Edith?" Victoria couldn't wait to see her.

"Mom just came back from get off work and went upstairs to rest." Lily said, "It looks very tired."

"Lily, are you baking a cake?" Eddie asked.

"Yes, my mother loves the cakes I bake the most." Lily smiled confidently, "I baked them for my mother, she must be very happy."

"It's not fair, I want to eat too," Eddie yelled.

"Then you can only ask my mother," Lily shrugged, "see if she is willing to give it to you."

"You are eccentric!!!"

Victoria ignored Lily's flirting with her boyfriend as she hurried upstairs.She wants to find Edith, and she wants to tell her how she feels.

"Edith!" Victoria pushed open the door, "I..."

She was stunned.

In the room, Edith was hiding her hands in her sleeves in a panic: "Victoria, why are you here?" Although it was only for a moment, Victoria was very sure that Edith's hand was translucent just now.

"Edith, you?"

Edith sighed and looked at Victoria: "Don't tell Lily, okay?" She originally wanted to find a chance to leave secretly, but was bumped into by Victoria.

"What's wrong with you, Edith?" Victoria asked.

Edith leaned against the head of the bed, his face extremely relieved: "You know, the reason why we ghosts can exist is because of the obsession in our hearts. The reason why I stayed in that forest was to find My son's body. I searched for it day and night, day and night...but then, for you and Lily, I left."

In the original play, after hearing Lily's "Mom", Edith threw the body of his son into the cliff without hesitation.At this moment, it was very obvious what was more important in her heart.

The obsession in her heart is no longer her son, but Lily and Victoria.

Especially Lily.Because facing Lucas back then, Victoria chose to stay, and Lily followed her unswervingly.

But now, Lily has grown up and has a boyfriend.Although she still loves her mother in her heart, the distance between the two has inevitably become farther.

Someone once said that the greatness of parental love lies in its ultimate goal of separation.

When Lily was a child, she was willing to go anywhere with her mother, even willing to accompany her mother to become a moth.But now, she has a boyfriend and studies.In a few years, she will have a family, a career, and children...

At that time, will she still accompany Edith without hesitation like in the original drama, turning into a moth?

"You're all grown up," Edith sighed. "Not long from now, you'll be married and have a happy family. Then you'll move out and have your own lives. By that time, I'll stay in There is no meaning in the human world. It’s just that I didn’t expect that this day would come so soon. After being splashed with holy water by Angela that day, my body began to gradually become translucent..."

"No, Edith!" Victoria rushed forward, hugged her, and cried bitterly, "Who said it's meaningless for you to stay in this world? I need you, and Lily needs you too!"

"Children always leave their mothers when they grow up." Edith gently embraced Victoria, "Don't tell Lily, okay? I hope she will always be happy."

"What about me?" Victoria looked up at Edith, "Is there no place for me in your heart?"

"Victoria," Edith held Victoria's face, "Of course I love you too. But I know that you have grown up. You are stronger, more independent, and braver than Lily..."

"No, Edith!" Victoria interrupted, "I'm not strong and I'm not brave. On the island before, I wasn't afraid because you were by my side. You gave me courage, It was you who gave me confidence. If you weren't here, I would have been so scared that my legs were weak and I couldn't even walk!"

"Edith, please, don't leave."

"because I love you."
