Chapter 541

The little face from his memory had long been a blur, but the image of Yolanda gazing up, her big round eyes filled with worry as she looked at him, along with the quietness and gentleness hidden within those eyes, felt like it was still right before him.

Those eyes slowly began to merge with seventeen-year-old Sophia, slowly layering upon the Sophia of the present, making that once fuzzy face from him memory crystal clear.

The same look in the eyes, the same smile, the same tender serenity, even the way she looked up at him, the clarity and softness in her eyes, it was all exactly the same.

Brandon's throat felt tight, his trembling fingers slowly reached out for the white jade necklace. The necklace was taken out, dangling from his fingertips.

Though it had been twenty years since he last saw it, the design, the material, all were just as he remembered. Every carved line on it was just as what he recalled.

"Grandma says that when people die, they're not really gone. They just head to another world first to wait for us. After many, many years, we'll go there too, and then we can see them again. So don't be sad, we'll definitely meet your mom again one day.

If you don't like being alone, can I keep you company? I'll stay with you forever and ever, until we go to that world where your mom is, and I'll help you find her before I leave, okay?"

Her childlike words still rang in his ears, but she didn't remember them. She didn't remember the little promise she once made, nor did she remember anything about him or even herself.

Brandon recalled the first time he saw Sophia during his senior year of high school when she walked up to the podium following the teacher, wearing a slightly faded school uniform, quiet and well-behaved.
