The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 644

Theresa hesitated for a second but then nodded and wrapped her arms around Sophia once more.

Sophia clung to her too, her arms trembling slightly, with a lingering sense of bewilderment and lost still at the bottom of her heart.

She hadn't missed the look in Theresa's eyes when she heard "It doesn't hurt anymore," that timid desire to be close yet the fear to do so. It was a mix of emotions, feeling like she was her mom but also not really.

The memories that had been wiped clean meant she couldn't for the life of her remember what she used to be like, nor how she used to vibe with Theresa. That just sent her into a tailspin of panic and confusion.

She tried her darnedest not to let Theresa see her freaking out, holding onto her with a grip that meant business.

Theresa's sobs started to quiet down in the midst of their tight embrace, but her little hands were still clamped onto Sophia, not letting go.

Sophia held her just as tightly, her cheek unintentionally brushing against Theresa's, and it was only when she looked up that she saw Susan, eyes red and swollen, giving her this accusatory glance.

Susan was still crying, her eyes puffed up like walnuts, totally unable to rein in her emotions, just standing there with a look that was both relieved and reproachful, like Sophia had left them high and dry.

Sophia couldn't remember Susan either, but for some reason, seeing that look in her eyes stirred up all her emotions again, and her eyes quickly reddened as a sob caught in her throat.

When Susan finally saw Sophia look her way, she choked up and blurted out, "Where the heck have you been? Do you have any idea we thought you were... If you were still kicking, why didn't you give us a ring?"
