The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 620

Noelle didn't know where she was. All she could see was the vast expanse of white. She didn't know what this place was or why she was here.

Then, she heard Rosie's voice. "Mommy, I'm here. Come find me."

The cheerful voice snapped Noelle out of her confusion. Right... She needed to find Rosie. But where was she?

They had played hide-and-seek many times before. But Rosie never had much patience and would often peek out from her hiding spot to check on Noelle.

Noelle always spotted her immediately. But to play along, she would pretend not to see her, spinning around exaggeratedly while asking, "Where's my little Rosie?" Every time, Rosie would giggle with delight, and when Noelle finally found her, she would laugh and say, "Oh, Mommy, you're so silly! You couldn't even find me!"

But this time, Noelle truly couldn't find her. She kept calling Rosie's name.

She could still hear Rosie's voice. "Mommy, come find me! Hurry!"

"Where are you? Rosie, come out, okay? Don't scare me like this. I can't find you!" Noelle screamed until she was hoarse.

But this time, there was no response from Rosie.

"Rosie! Can you hear me?
