When Chen Yu returned upstairs, the mother using her daughter's body and the daughter's soul were crying together, while the boss stood by, wiping away tears.

For this family, it had been over a decade of separation, which meant not only yearning for the daughter but also endless torment for both the boss and his wife.

"Doctor Chen Yu…" Seeing Chen Yu come in, the boss hurriedly wiped his tears, wanting to thank Chen Yu, but he also understood that Chen Yu's arrival meant that it was time for his daughter to leave.

Chen Yu nodded slightly at the boss and looked toward his daughter, Hiromi.

She still looked the same as she did over a decade ago, appearing to be only of high school age, with her short hair brimming with youth. She must have been a very lively and adorable girl when she was alive.

Unfortunately, she had passed away over ten years ago, and even though Chen Yu had summoned her soul, it was merely to allow her one final visit with her parents.

"Miss Hiromi, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Perhaps out of sympathy, Chen Yu asked Hiromi if she had any wishes that she had not accomplished.

"Wishes?" Upon hearing Chen Yu's question, Hiromi thought about whether there was anything left undone, but after having been dead for over a decade, she realized there wasn't much she wanted to do anymore. Nevertheless, she glanced at her parents and said to Chen Yu, "I... I hope that dad and mom can..."

"No! Wait a moment!" Perhaps realizing that once Hiromi stated her wish, Chen Yu would have to let her leave, Hiromi's mother suddenly stepped in front of her, knelt down before Chen Yu, and pleaded, "Doctor! I beg you, I know you must have a way! Please let Hiromi come back! Even if I have to give her my body and die myself! Please, Doctor!"

"Mom!" Hiromi quickly tried to hold back her mother, but being only a soul, she was unable to touch her mother's body.

Seeing this, the boss sincerely begged Chen Yu as well, "Doctor Chen Yu, I know this request is too much, but... but can't Hiromi really stay?"

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just..." Chen Yu turned to look at Hiromi and shook his head slightly, saying, "It's been too long. Her soul has been separated from the body for too long, and now she can't go back. Even if her mother is willing to give back the body, she wouldn't be able to adapt to it."

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Hiromi's mother completely collapsed, crying out in agony, "It's all my fault! If it weren't for me taking over Hiromi's body in the first place, none of this would have happened! It's all my fault! Hiromi!"

Watching his wife cry, both Hiromi and the boss wore expressions of deep distress.

After all, for anyone, to lose a loved one for over a decade, only to have a brief reunion before facing eternal separation again, is the greatest torment and injury for the living.

Seeing her mother in tears, Hiromi fought back her sadness and forced a smile to comfort her, "Mom, don't be sad! Haven't I been dead for over a decade? Even if you give me back my body now, I couldn't possibly adapt to life now, and besides... I don't even know that man who should be my husband by now! Being forced to live with him would make me unhappy too.

So, mom, you go on living well for me! And also take good care of dad. I don't want to see the two of you sad because of me."

At this, Minami also looked toward her father and said, "Daddy, thank you! The fact that you and Mom still remember me already makes me very happy! Don't keep quarreling with Mom, if you're unhappy, I'll be unhappy too."

"Minami..." The boss looked at his sensible daughter and reached out to touch her face, but he couldn't touch her body at all.

Seeing this, Jounouchi Hiromi perhaps couldn't bear it in her heart and raised her hand, casting a spell that gave Minami a physical form.

With this, the boss finally touched his daughter's face once again after more than ten years.

And the boss's wife, originally kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up and hugged her daughter with Minami's body.

Watching the family hugging and crying together, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but feel her eyes moisten and she said to Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, isn't there some way to keep the family together without having to part?"

"Minami has been dead for over a decade. Even if I could forcibly resurrect her, how would you solve her identity issue? Her original identity has already been taken by her mother," Chen Yu felt helpless. Although he sympathized with the boss's family, the modern society was not like ancient times, and the troubles brought about by forcibly resurrecting someone were many.

"What about not resurrecting her and letting her live with the boss in her current state?" Jounouchi Hiromi, as a Blood Knight of the Blood School, naturally could think of many methods to achieve this goal: "Like how you helped Xiao Sanmao before, isn't he living well in the garden of the Necromantic Space now?"

"That's certainly possible, but what about after she has lived through these decades?" Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi say this, Chen Yu also became serious, looking at her earnestly.

Seeing the rare seriousness on Chen Yu's face, Jounouchi Hiromi was taken aback and soon realized that after Xiao Sanmao had been transformed by Chen Yu, he could no longer enter the resting place for the souls of this world, only able to stay forever in Chen Yu's garden.

For Xiao Sanmao, perhaps being a maid and gardener in Chen Yu's garden wasn't bad, but what if time went on for hundreds of years, thousands of years?

If she were alone, she would become more and more lonely and isolated.

This was also why the longer Lost Souls lived, the more eccentric their characters became: because their memories, eroded by time, would only retain what was most important and obsessive to them; everything else would be devoured by the long, extensive years, leaving behind only a lonely soul.

Of course, Jounouchi Hiromi understood what it meant for a soul to drift in this world for thousands of years, but she still put forth this method, leaving the choice to the boss's family.

"Can Minami stay?" In the end, the boss chose the method Jounouchi Hiromi mentioned: "If she's by my side, when I die, I can also keep her company forever. With the two of us, it shouldn't be so lonely, right?"

"No, it'll be three people." At this moment, Minami's mother also made the same choice as the boss.
