The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 134

“I told him to head back first, Sophia replied hesitantly.

Brandon’s frown deepened, “You let him go just like that, and he left you behind?”

Sophia knew he had gotten the wrong idea and hurried to explain, “No, it’s not his fault. I told him my family was coming to take care of me, and that’s why he left.”

“Did he actually see any of your family?”

Sophia was speechless.

“He bailed without seeing anyone? Isn’t that still on him?”

“People don’t owe me their time to stick around.” Sophia couldn’t help but defend Ivan, though her voice faltered under Brandon’s icy stare.

“So, whatever he does, he’s Mr. Perfect in your book, huh?” Brandon said.

Sophia didn’t say anything.

Brandon glanced at the mess on the floor and then at her still somewhat pale face. He hadn’t forgotten the painful expression she had when he first came in and saw her hunched over on the floor. Now sitting by the hospital bed, he reached out to touch her forehead, “How did you end up in such a mess?”

His palm was still slightly cool from the air.

When their skin touched, Sophia didn’t dare move. She just softly told him, “I got a bit dizzy earlier, lost my grip while grabbing the hot water bottle, and it all came crashing down.”

Brandon looked at her, “Still feeling dizzy?”
