The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 187

Louis finally caught his breath and glanced back at Sophia with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"

It was only after he finished speaking that he got a good look at Sophia's face, and he froze for a moment.

Sophia came back to her senses, "I'm fine."

Then she looked at him, "Are you okay?"

"I'm good, I'm good, just got a bit dizzy for a second there, didn't take a fall."

Louis brushed off the dust from his clothes with a chuckle, still a bit unsteady on his feet, and bent down to pick up his cane from the ground.

"Let me get that."

Sophia stopped him and bent down to pick up the cane for him, handing it to him.

Louis thanked her as he took it, but his gaze involuntarily glued itself to Sophia's face again, sizing her up with a puzzled and vexed expression.

"Miss, have we met somewhere before?" After a while, Louis voiced the confusion in his heart.

Sophia remembered that she had locked eyes with Louis when she had entered the classroom, but at that time his gaze had swept over her and landed on Marian next to her.

She figured Louis's sense of familiarity came from that random eye contact two years ago.

She politely smiled and shook her head, "No, we haven't."

She didn't want to use this incident to get tangled up with Marian and the Frost family.

Louis let out a disappointed "Oh," but his eyes still couldn't help but study Sophia with confusion.

Sophia wasn't too comfortable being stared at like this.

She glanced around and then back at him, "Aren't your family members around?"

Seeing him in a hospital gown and considering his age, she was a bit worried about him being alone, "How about I walk you back to your room?"

"No need." Louis waved his hands to refuse, "I've got family with me. I just sent him to get me some food."

Just as he said this, a short, stocky man in his sixties approached quickly with a food tray.

Louis waved at him, "Leo."

The man named Leo walked up to them and gave Sophia a puzzled look.

Louis introduced them with a grin, "This is Leo, who's been taking good care of me."

"And this is," He began to introduce Sophia, but then realized he hadn't asked for her name, and turned to Sophia, "Oh, what's your name? You saved me just now, and I haven't even thanked you yet."

He looked at Leo as he explained, "I was feeling cooped up lying down all day and wanted to stretch my legs. Almost took a nasty spill, but this young lady here caught me. She even took the fall for me, saving my old bones."

Upon hearing this, Leo gratefully looked at Sophia, "Miss, I really can't thank you enough."

His thanks also paused when he saw Sophia's face.

Sophia felt their reactions were both a bit odd.

She gave an awkward smile, "It was nothing, just lending a hand."

Seeing that Louis was well looked after, she felt relieved and politely said
