The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 284

Chapter 284

Sure enough, as soon as the video call connected, before Sophia even saw Theresa's face, she could hear the little munchkin's anxious voice coming through the phone.

"I ran into an old lady when I was making a call earlier. She couldn't find her way home, so I'm taking her to find the police."

Sophia spoke gently to Theresa on the other side of the video.

Theresa's little face popped up on the screen, she nodded sensibly after hearing the explanation. "Oh."

Then she asked, puzzled, "Why can't she find her home?"

"She is sick," Sophia said softly.

"Does it hurt?" Theresa asked.

"She's not in pain, Theresa, don't worry," Sophia reassured with a smile. "Why don't you play with Grace there for a bit longer, and I will come find you soon, okay?"

Theresa shook her head. "I wanna go find you, Mommy."

Sophia gauged the distance between the amusement park and the police station —it wasn't far-so she nodded, "Alright. Give the phone to Grace."

Theresa handed the phone over to Grace obediently.

Sophia looked at Grace on the other end. "Grace, I'm at the police station to the left of the main entrance, the same one we came through. Bring Theresa out, I'll wait for you guys here."

"Got it."

Grace hung up the phone, and soon arrived, holding Theresa.

As soon as Theresa walked in and saw Sophia, she called out "Mommy" with a mix of distress and relief. But then, seeing Sophia's hand firmly grasped by the old lady, she became anxious and wary, silently sidling up to Sophia and hugging her thigh. Only then did she look up at the old lady in confusion.

The old lady looked back at Theresa, equally baffled.

Sophia immediately noticed Theresa's unease, gave the granny an apologetic smile, pulled out one hand to scoop Theresa up into her arms, gave her a kiss, and whispered, "I'm here, don't worry, Theresa."

After calming down her nerves, Sophia introduced her to the old lady. "Theresa, say hi to this lady."

Theresa glanced at the old woman, then obediently called out, "Hello, madam."

The old lady seemed to be stirred by something, her expression even more perplexed as she mumbled, "How is Yoli getting smaller as she grows?"
