The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 645

Sophia took a nasty spill and banged her head, totally blanking on who she was and the life she had.

Brandon filled in for her, indirectly answering Susan's burning question about why Sophia had been MIA.

Susan was stunned for a sec, her eyes clouded with concern as she looked at Sophia, "You forgot everything?"

The worry in Susan's eyes got Sophia feeling all down, but she nodded anyway, "Yeah."

"So..." Susan furrowed her brow, "Is there a chance you'll remember? What's the doc saying?"

"It's up in the air," Brandon chimed in.

A flicker of disappointment passed through Susan's eyes, but she perked up quick and gave Sophia an encouraging smile, "No worries, the main thing is you're back."

Sophia smiled back.

But to her, "you're back" didn't even feel real.

She was genuinely sad, sure, and the warmth was real, but so was her sense of being utterly lost.

This was the first time since coming to that she felt this punch-in-the-gut fear about not remembering her past.

Maybe 'cause there was no real love lost between her, Harvey Ferber, and Amanda, she wasn't too shaken up about her memory wipe.

But now, with everyone in the room showing mega-surprise at seeing her, with all these strong emotional ties but no memories to back them up, Sophia just felt all kinds of unease and panic.

Brandon didn't miss the worry in her eyes and shot her a reassuring smile, his eyes softly comforting without making a sound.
