The Witch (Lisrene)

Chapter 111

At noon of the next day, Irene made a trip to the villa during her afternoon break.

She picked up Winter and started to check it from all angles. She then patted the doll's head with satisfaction, and commended, "Not bad. You were very obedient and did not recklessly eat things."

"Winter, obedient." The complimented Winter beamed so widely that its eyes were almost invisible.

"If you were really truly obedient, you would not head out unless I'm the one bringing you out." Irene added.

Winter's eyes, which were initially closed as the doll was smiling brightly, instantly widened. The doll then struggled from Irene's hold, jumped down from its owner's hands, and quickly ran to hide behind Ghost Gentleman. Unfortunately, Ghost Gentleman's figurine body was unable to completely cover Winter's 'tall and hefty' delicate body.

Irene clicked her tongue. The feeling of her own child being abducted by another person suddenly struck her. "Winter break is coming soon. During that time, I must seek another suitable malicious ghost for Winter to devour. Otherwise, Winter would truly transform into your younger sister."

Ever since Ghost Gentleman had shared his memories with Winter, the relationship between the doll and the ghost had become extremely close. There were even a few occasions whereby Winter could not bear to part from Ghost Gentleman when Irene and Lisa came to pick it up on the weekends.

The moment Ghost Gentleman heard Irene's words, his smiling expression instantly turned solemn. "Winter is my younger sister."

Irene's brows creased. It was the first time Ghost Gentleman used such an expression and tone to speak to her. Did this guy become too absorbed in his own act?

"You should know that the reason why Winter is now intimate with you is due to the shared memories you provided with it these days. In your memories, your emotions towards your younger sister and family were too intense and had influenced Winter to treat you differently from others. However, Winter is currently just a fragmented soul, so its own emotional foundation has yet to be completely established. It still needs to grow. When your memories are no longer able to help to boost its emotional growth, I will seek new memories and emotions for it. After it gets injected with new memories and emotions, its personality would change." Irene reminded the ghost.

The reason why she reminded Ghost Gentleman was because she was concerned that the ghost would invest too much of his own emotions on Winter. Winter was only a fragmented soul now, so its character and emotions would change at any time. She was afraid that Ghost Gentleman would sink into his obsession due to the disparity from his expectations should Winter change its character abruptly. Every malicious ghost had an obsession deep within. According to Irene's observation, Ghost Gentleman's obsession was his family and the affection he harboured for them.

Ghost Gentleman was a being that had powers nearly that of a ghost general's. She did not want the ghost's finally appeased obsession to once again be shaken due to Winter.

"Lady boss, I know what you are trying to say, and I fully understand thus." Ghost Gentleman said in a composed manner. "Winter is a fragmented soul, and still has defects in its emotional foundation. Its character is still undeveloped. In addition, once its emotional foundation is fully developed, and its soul is whole, you would immediately send it to reincarnate. At that time, Winter would also lose all of its current memories. It would not only forget about me, it would even forget about you."

"But so what if that happens? After one's death, one would also forget one's former life after entering the reincarnation cycle. Regardless of how deep one's emotions are, one would completely forget about everything after drinking a bowl of Meng Po's soup[1]. Does that mean that we should not treat the people around us well?"
