Chapter 773
Steven's soul followed Stephanie back to the mountaintop villa. It was the place they once dreamed of calling home, one they would live out the rest of their lives together.
He was actually fond of quiet places like this. He would be able to watch the scenery and the long, winding mountain road just by sitting in the courtyard.
"Stephie," he softly called her name as he followed her around.
Stephanie couldn't hear or see him.
Steven felt at a loss. He failed to hug her multiple times and could only resort to following her around, watching her. He couldn't do anything else other than that.
However, this was more than enough for him.
Perhaps he had known that his soul would continue to exist in a different form after he died, so he wasn't afraid of death.
Steven figured that Stephanie must have experienced the same thing when she died back then.
"You're right by my side, right, Steven?" she softly asked as she sat on a swing in the courtyard.
"I am." Steven smiled and sat beside her.
"I know you're here. You can hear me, right? But you can't touch me, and I can't hear you either," Stephanie mumbled.
Steven reached out to try and hug her. Even though he couldn't do it, he still wanted to hug her.
He said, "I'm here, Stephie. I'm always here."
Steven stayed right by Stephanie's side from that day onward. He figured that he would be happy as long as she was happy and living freely.
However, he was also worried that she might do something rash. She was being too calm now.
As expected, Stephanie submerged herself in the bathtub. He couldn't do anything other than scream at her and watch her helplessly.
"Please, Stephie. Please don't do it," Steven crouched beside the bathtub and pleaded for her to stop.
He wanted to pull her out of the water, yet he couldn't do anything without a physical body.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Just as Steven was about to lose it, he suddenly felt Stephanie's soul sitting up from the water.
He looked at her with reddening eyes, their eyes met. Within a split second, he hurriedly pushed her soul back under the water.
Fortunately, Stephanie sat up from the water out of the sudden, chest heaving as she took deep breaths.
"Live your life well, Stephie," Steven said softly.
Stephanie seemed a little different after she got up. She sat in the water for the longest time, her mind wandering.
"Stephie?" Steven tried to talk to her, but no response came.
How could two people from two different dimensions possibly communicate with each other?
"Steven wouldn't want you to continue being so stubborn, Stephanie"
Stephanie and Joel had a fight one day. Steven was concerned for Joel.
If he was still there, he could still stop her, but now, Joel could only fend for himself.
As expected, Stephanie's knife went to his neck, almost piercing his throat.
Joel took in a sharp breath, while Steven was also nervous for him.
The Stephanie now had clearly regained all her memories.
"I" Before Joel could continue speaking, Stephanie had knocked him unconscious in one smooth motion, showing no signs of hesitation.
Steven bit on his fingers anxiously. He found it terrifying and was worried that Joel might be dead just like that.
Stephanie said, "Would you believe me if I said I'm not doing it on purpose?"
Steven nodded fearfully. He dared not doubt her.
