Chapter 219
Anna Ross walked for a while.
She couldn't help but look back.
The space behind her was empty.
That person was already gone.
Her heart felt like a heavy boulder was pressing on it.
The weight was immense.
She could barely breathe.
"Sis!"
Sophia Roscente's cheerful voice called out.
Anna hurriedly wiped her tears away.
She forced a smile.
Sophia ran up to her.
She was panting.
When she looked up, she noticed Anna's reddened eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Sophia's smile faded.
She examined Anna with concern.
Anna quickly shook her head.
"It's nothing."
"The wind was strong just now."
"Something got in my eye."
Sophia sighed in relief.
Then she grew tense again.
She glanced around nervously.
"My cousin didn't come, did he?"
She was worried about running into her cousin.
Even though he had said he wouldn't interfere.
She still felt her habitual fear.
Anna reassured her softly.
"He already left."
But her heart felt hollow.
Sophia immediately cheered up.
She linked arms with Anna and walked home.
Watching Sophia's lively figure.
Anna felt a pang of envy.
She wished she could be that carefree too.
They arrived home.
Sophia eagerly poured water.
She even offered to massage Anna's shoulders.
Anna stopped her.
"Go on."
"What is it this time?"
Sophia sat down with a grin.
"You always know me so well!"
She hesitated for a moment.
Then spoke in a low voice.
"Sis."
"Can you come with me to see my mom?"
Anna was stunned.
She almost choked on her water.
She coughed violently.
Sophia quickly handed her tissues.
Gently patting her back.
