Chapter 361 Living In Humiliation? No Thank You

Polly fiew from tree to tree. No matter how quickly Bellflower could move, it was still a four-legged

creature!

Bellflower’s whiskers were twitching with irritation.

Meow’ I rather die than live on in humiliation!

Polly continued to dodge cach lunge and sent Bellflower crashing into the bushes.

“MeowITT

The parrot returned to the second floor once it got tired of playing and made sure to fasten the window

latches.

Polly admired the sight of the cat scratching frantically at the glass while happily enjoying her food.

The cat had caught her off guard the last time. It was a shame that would stick with the bird for the rest of

her life.

She finally got her revenge!

Lilly had just arrived at the hospital alongside Bettany when an ambulance whizzed by,

A child was wheeled out accompanied by a woman crying Johnny! My Johnny!”

Lilly turned to look.

A closer look made her wonder why the crying woman seemed so familiar. It then occurred to her that she had met her yesterday…

“That’s Ruby’s cousin, Pablo helpfully supplied.

Lilly was shocked. She had only seen signs of Huxley having one foot in the grave and failed to notice the boy who was also present.

She would’ve offered up a warning if she did but it was now too late.

“Let’s go,” Pablo said.

His expression was placid. The sight of life and death was par for the course. He’d seen a lot but could not interfere with others’ fates. It hardened him.

Lilly silently trailed after Bettany but kept turning back to steal glances.

If we can’t stop it even if we see it, then why do we catch ghosts, Master?” She asked.

Pablo looked at her with downcast eyes and said warmly. “You can stop it but do you know what butterfly

effects are?

“By changing one’s fate, you are also affecting the destinies of a million others connected to them.”

Let’s say Mike grew up to be a criminal. He murders and commits arson. Ten people will die because of

1/4

him. Mike, however, should’ve died in an accident as a child. Those ten people would’ve survived if fate ran its course.”

“But by saving him today, he would grow up to become a murderer with the blood of ten people on his

hands.”

“It’s fate.”

It wasn’t as if he were indifferent to it. There was just no way for him to guarantee that his decision to interfere would be right or wrong.

Lilly pursed her lips. “What if Mike was a hero?”

What if Mike grew up to be someone who saved ten people? Wouldn’t she be condemning ten people to their graves if she chose not to save him?

Pablo nodded. “Indeed but the reason boils down to how we cannot predict where Mike would turn out to be a good or bad person. We don’t know if he’s a hero or a murderer.”

“It’s exactly because we don’t know that we don’t intervene. We can’t recklessly interfere with someone’s fate just because we’re more powerful than the average person.”

Lilly couldn’t fully understand him.

There were some truths she couldn’t grasp as a child. Perhaps she’d understand with experience.

Bettany was used to Lilly talking to herself and chose not to interrupt. It was Zachary who spoke up. “You should just call the cat Fortune Cat, Lilly.”

You like money. The more the merrier.

Lilly was taken aback. “…”
