2 Bai Chen

Bai Chen

"Your son has no pulse again. He is dead. I am wholeheartedly sorry for your loss" the physician said with unhappiness.

The boy's father was quiet for sometime before he spoke in a tone that radiated off sorrow. "Thank you physician. You have done your best. I can only say it's his fate" the physician nodded. Then he spread a large cloth over the boy's body to cover his lifeless body and began to pack his instruments.

Abruptly, the boy's mom who was held out by some people rushed in and so did a few others. These other people that rushed in were the boy's two older sisters, Bai Meixue and Bai Yun. "Physician, please tell me. Would my son be okay?" she asked.

The physician looked at the boy's father who understood what the gaze meant. He went to meet his wife and tried to hold her in his arms.

But before he could so, she pushed him away and rushed to where her son lay. Flinging the cloth spread over him away, she saw the cold, lifeless body of her son.

Her mind shook, then she fell to the ground. Her husband, Bai Ming and the two girls who were the boy's sisters rushed over to their mom. They helped her up and made her sit on the bed.

She broke into tears. Her husband came over and tried to console her as she was extremely sad. Her only son was now dead and this made her very sorrowful. If possible, she would exchange her life for her son to give him that chance to live again.

She had always believed her five-year old son would scale through his illness but this was reality in front of her. She cried so much her tears seemed to be never ending.

She drew closer to the boy and touched his face which she began to rub affectionately. She recalled those smiles of his and the cute way he called her mom. This made her heart grieve the more as more tear beads rapidly formed and rolled down her cheeks.

Her husband who held the other girls back left her to cry. Letting her cry would lessen the pain in her heart. It was best to let her cry all the grief away, he thought.

Suddenly, the air became turbulent for many seconds before an extremely blinding flash of resplendent light appeared. Everyone in the room had to close their eyes or the brilliant colorful light that appeared would ruin their eyes.

When their eyes opened, they shone with strangeness. There was no thunderstorm that could have caused the flash. Besides, it didn't reflect from outside. It manifested in the room they were in.

While they were wondering where the light had had come from. They suddenly heard a sneeze.

Atchu!

Everyone looked towards the source of that sneeze and their minds were sent reeling in great shock.

They all saw as color slowly return to the face of the boy that they all thought was dead. The mother of the boy was the most impacted. With great, unbounded joy in her heart, she carried him off from bed and spun around with him.

Tears still streamed down her face. But this time, these were not tears of sorrow but tears of joy.

The father of the boy too felt a surging emotion of happiness. His sisters were not left out. Their eyes glowed with amazement and elation. The gods heard their prayers. They brought him back to life.

While the mother of the boy happily spun around with her little kid. The boy who they were happy had revived, looked around in shock. Where the hell was he? Who were these people? what was he doing in the body of a kid? And was he not supposed to be dead?

Then he recalled that earth-trembling blast and and a bright blue light and nothing else. That was the point at which he was killed off by the great explosion. Those bastards delivered a nuclear bomb package. He cursed them greatly in his heart.

The father was approached by the physician who congratulated him. But mystification shone in his eyes and radiated off the way he spoke. He couldn't understand how the boy came back to life. He was supposed to be dead. There was no pulse or anything at all to indicate he had vitality or life. He was dumbfounded. This wasn't normal, this was paranormal. But it was great to witness such a spectacular supernatural scene.

After expressing his congratulatory words to the father of the boy. He made his way for the door and then left this place. There was no point in being here anymore. He had done his part and it was time to go.

After sometime, the mother dropped the boy. "Bai Chen, are you okay? Do you still feel any pain? Tell me if you still feel anything?" she asked. The little boy spoking too first felt confused, then he realized that was the name of the little boy's body he was in.

He nodded his head, then said. "Mom, I am fine. I don't feel anything any more". He managed to say this as calling this woman his mom felt very odd to him but he just had to ride with the flow.

Bai Chen's mother and the others were shocked at the way he spoke. It was like he was a stranger to them. But they took it with the reason that he just recovered.

His mother nodded her head and kissed him on the forehead. Then she left him with his sisters and went to prepare what they would eat.

The atmosphere had been gloomy since. But now that he had revived, the atmosphere had returned to normal.
