The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 283

Sophia was momentarily stunned, then looked at the elderly person with concern.

The old lady's smile was still graceful and kind, tears glistening in her eyes. She affectionately took Sophia's hand, sizing her up and down while incessantly muttering "Pretty good." If she hadn't mistaken Sophia for someone else, she didn't seem at all like she was ill.

"Madam," Sophia softened her voice, gently asking, "Did you come out here by yourself?"

A look of confusion crossed the old lady's face.

She looked around blankly, then back at Sophia, and asked, "Where is this?"

"We're at the Children's Park," Sophia said softly.

The old lady looked befuddled. "Children's Park? Where's that? Nonsense, this is clearly the textile factory."

She looked around again as if searching for something, but her grip on Sophia's hand never loosened. She kept on reminding Sophia, "Yoli, hold on tight to my hand, don't get lost, okay?"

While advising, she began to pull Sophia along.

Sophia guessed that the old lady might really have Alzheimer's and didn't dare let her wander off alone. As she let herself be pulled, she took out her phone and comforted the lady, "Alright, madam. Let's wait here for a bit. I'll call your family and have them come pick you up, okay?"

The old lady waved her hands dismissively, "No need, no need, I know the way home. Come on, Yoli, come home with me. You haven't seen us in so long, you must have given your grandpa and I quite the scare."

As she spoke, she tugged Sophia forward.

Ahead was a dead end with no exit, thick with trees and featuring an abandoned house and railway tracks, rarely visited by anyone.
