My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 1508
Upon returning to the village, Hera fused the little boy's soul with his physical body. His eyes regained their color, and he immediately threw himself into the old man's arms and started crying loudly.
The old man picked up his great-grandson and comforted him with tears streaming down his face, "Peter, don't cry. I'm here!"
"Sir, is it just you and Peter left now?" Hera asked, pressing her lips together.
The old man nodded with a bitter smile. "Yes, this child has had a hard life."
Nash was taking a closer look at the child. Indeed, his life had been harsh. He also had leukemia and was expected to live only until about ten years old. However, with his intervention, that would not pose a problem.
"Miss, can you help me replace my mom? She's not dead. She came to see me yesterday. But I didn't recognize her and got scared. She must be very sad," the little boy said timidly.
Hera was a soft-hearted person. When she heard that, the floodgates opened and tears streamed down her face. She felt even more sympathetic for the ghost now.
Nash put away the Nine Dragons Sword, but the ghost hesitated to approach them. "I can't let him see me like this. I'll scare him!"
Hera looked at Yellow Crane and asked, "Is there any way they can meet?"
He pondered for a bit and then answered, "She carries resentment and spiritual power within her. Her appearance can't be changed, and my illusions won't work on her." Hera's expression was crestfallen.
Just then, Nash said, "I can strip away her ghostly cultivation. Without that power, she would look as she did before her death."
Then, he turned to the ghost and asked, "Are you willing to give up your powers for this?"
"Yes, I am!" The female ghost nodded without hesitation.
"So you'll give up on your revenge too?" Nash asked with a half-smile.
"Geoffrey has powerful talismans on him and in his home. I couldn't have taken my revenge anyway. I just want to protect my child and my grandfather now," the ghost said, her expression sorrowful.
"We'll avenge you," Nash declared. "I'll let you and your son meet." He gestured with his hands, and suddenly, golden light radiated from his body. He touched the ghost's forehead, and a terrifying black mist began to ooze from her as she screamed agonizingly. After a moment, the black mist completely receded from her body. Her eyes lost their red glow, and even her bright red dress turned white. She looked stunningly beautiful, appearing to be 25 years old.
"Peter, would you like to see your mother now?" Hera tousled the boy's hair.
"Yes, yes!" Peter replied. His eyes showed fear, but he was clapping his hands excitedly nonetheless.
Hera took ox tears from her bag and dripped them into his eyes. When Peter saw his mother, he rushed into her arms and sobbed loudly. "Mommy..."
The old man shuddered violently. "Harriet... Harriet, are you here?"
"Grandpa... I'm here... I'm here, Grandpa!"
Harriet held her son, tears streaming down her face as she called out to the old man.
"Drip this into your eyes and you'll be able to see your granddaughter!" Hera dripped the ox tears into the old man's eyes. When he saw Harriet, tears flowed freely as his lips quivered with excitement. Hera took out her phone and dialed Gaspard's number.
"Hello, Ms. Lewis!" Gaspard greeted, sounding extremely excited.
Hera was now the big shot of Jonford. The Hill family had been seeking to cooperate with Southern Heaven Pharmaceutical for a while but could not replace the opportunity. That was why they had been engaging in charity work recently, hoping to catch Hera's attention. Now that Hera was calling, it was likely that their plan had succeeded. If they could collaborate with Southern Heaven Pharmaceutical, the family would surely rise to new heights.
