Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Chapter 523: Erasing memories.



Phoebe did not have the time to respond to Arrow's question and even if she did, she lacked the desire to talk about herself. She was not asking him about his ice magic and spells so there was no need for him to ask her about her magic.

Aside from Arrow, another curious person in the cave was Maureen. She knew Phoebe was really great with magic, but she had not seen her heal a person before. If she had known that her niece could insta-heal like a gaming character, they could have hunted more than they did.

She was literally a walking hospital so what did they have to fear?

"Hey, what's the deal with her?" Arrow took his question to Maureen.

Blinking rapidly, Maureen stretched her hands towards Arrow and shook them, gesturing that she had no clue what was going on. "Do not ask me, I do not know what is happening either, my niece has her secrets like the rest of us." Her voice came laced with curiosity, suddenly her eyes lit up like a bulb in a dark room when she remembered the baby. "Its Star is it not?" She carelessly uttered.

She folded her lips quickly and suddenly found something interesting in her bag that she needed to find.

"Aunt, prepare some memory erasers." Phoebe shouted out.

Meanwhile, David was in a daze. "Star?" He whispered. Phoebe had told him about the baby being named Star, but she had not told him that she could bring a person back from the brink of death. David shook his head, maybe he was thinking too much, he figured.

There was something else even more puzzling and it was that Phoebe did not need him to provide energy at this moment, yet he was her charger. Insecurity flickered within him momentarily, what did this mean for him? Was he useless to her now? The only reason why she had ever allowed him to come back into his life was because he was useful. She had made it clear that she did not want to marry ever again. David pulled his brows closely together.

David's worry pushed him to approach Phoebe, and he put a hand on her waist, replenishing the energy that she had used.

"Arrow, can you start clearing the way?" Maureen asked.

Arrow was glad to have something to do so he started working on clearing the path. Magic was not predictable, even if Phoebe healed Cassie, there was no guarantee that she would heal completely. It was best to get the child to a hospital.

"How are you doing this?" David asked Phoebe.

Phoebe lifted his hand and placed it on her tummy. "It's her David, we named her Star, I told you about it. She is a very special kid." She covered her hand over his.

Suddenly David jerked his hand back as if it had been burned. "Ouch! What was that?" He stared at her quizzically, the feeling of current shock tingling in his hand.

Arrow had not gone far, and he returned at the speed of light, worried about his friend. He was in time to hear about the baby.

"Daddy-daughter bonding I guess or maybe you did something to piss her off because she did not shock the rest of us." Maureen let out a measured laugh. "Your baby has quite the temper for a tiny human."

"Woah! your girlfriend is pregnant. I have a lot of questions but congratulations man." Arrow met his fist with that of David, grinning. "Drinks are on me tonight."

"I am having a daughter; I am so frightened. Girls are very tender and cute and cuddly. You do know that I intend to name you godfather, right?" David laughed.

"Awesome." Arrow shot a fist out. "Roman and Thomas are going to sulk."

Collin who had been tending to his mother and sister lifted his eyes to Phoebe's stomach. "You are pregnant!" He seemed stunned, the element of surprise coated in his tone. He still harbored that perhaps Phoebe would leave Saxon and run into his waiting arms, this was the nail in the coffin that confirmed that he had no chance with her, ever.

"A lot has happened during your absence Baltimore." Maureen responded, her tone nonchalant. "Back to our business, I hope you understand that we have to erase all your memories starting from the day you met Connie, maybe even before. Your sister Cassie is unrepentant, reconciliation and forgiveness between the two is impossible it seems." She informed him. "Moreover, you all seem not to care much about Connie and more about Cassie. I understand that you want to move on with your lives and that is exactly what is going to be done."

A groan left Lydia's lips as she regained consciousness, then panic set in. "What__ where_Connie?" Her eyes moved to Cassie who was laying in her brother's arms. "Is she__she dead?" The question trembled out of her quivering lips.

"You missed all the fun Lydia but that aside, you should know that this is not really over. These girls will never get along and Connie will not stop tormenting Cassie and there are other girls whose lives are at stake. So that means that we have to erase all the memories of Connie ever existing in your lives." Maureen relayed to them, it was the only plausible solution.

Lydia tucked in breath like she had been punched. "What do you mean erase her from our memories? She is my daughter; how can you make me forget her? Listen if Cassie asks Connie for forgiveness sincerely then everything will be okay. We are her family; how do you expect us to live like she never existed? How?" Tears spewed out of her eyes.

Walking up to Lydia, Phoebe took hold of her hands. "While you were unconscious, Connie almost killed Cassie and Cassie said that she would rather die than apologize. She was willing to give up her life rather than admit that she was wrong. The two cannot co-exist especially not if Connie still remembers what Cassie did because she will always be out to get her. We cannot risk this happening again. I am sorry but for Cassie and Connie's sakes, you need to forget some things. You do not have to worry because Connie has a new family with us already." She squeezed her fingers a little. "We will take care of her until she moves one."

Lydia's lips parted to say something, but her son tapped her shoulder and nodded. "Mother if you saw how resentful and angry Connie was, you would not object. If Phoebe says that this is the only way then it probably is. I don't like it either, but we have lost a lot. What if we lose Cassie too? What if I lose you? Let's keep the childhood memories, maybe it will be better if we just think that Connie died young." A sob tore through him, tears following like an afterthought.

Phoebe got a pen and notebook; she wrote down a spell that baby Star gave her and then she passed it out. "Let's use this spell, it will erase all the pictures, records and memories of her in existence everywhere."

"You can do that!" Collin exclaimed.

Phoebe did not answer him; she prepared the materials needed for the spell like a drop of water from fountain in the space. A shard of a mirror that had been bathed in moonlight, a piece of Connie's memories and an hourglass. Maureen and David placed the physical objects at cardinal points.

The guardians and Phoebe placed their hands on the Baltimore's heads and got rid of all memories that had a link to Connie, ending at the age of four when she drowned in a pond.

Over and over, they chanted, "Weave into oblivion, erase the name, let shadows be all that remain. Eclipse the life."
