Nicole bade Sophia goodbye too.

“Nicole, have a safe trip. I’ll visit you once I’ve recovered.” Sophia’s murky eyes were blind now, and so she could only locate Nicole’s position by listening to her voice. She reached out her hand, which was filled with scars, to hold onto Nicole’s.

Nicole replied, “Mm-hmm, I’ll be waiting for you.”

As they were about to part ways, Sophia asked her suddenly, “Nicole, what kind of person was I in the past?”

Nicole turned to look at Cooper, who was standing by the side, reflexively. He was shooting daggers at her, looking almost menacing. Therefore, Nicole smiled bitterly as she answered Sophia, “You were a good person. Once upon a time, I only worked some walk-on parts, and my younger sister was extremely ill. She needed urgent treatment, but I didn’t have the money to save her. You paid her medical bills for me. Besides, after finding out that my younger sister and I opened up an orphanage, you forked out money to build a new building for our orphanage.”

Sophia chuckled. I have no idea about my past right now, but at least I know that I was a good person. I think that’s not bad at all.

After Nicole left, Cooper was about to speak with Sophia when Linus came rushing toward him. He whispered into Cooper’s ear, and the latter’s expression soured immediately while his aura became intimidating straight away.

However, he switched swiftly into a gentle and happy expression when he turned to his daughter. He grabbed onto her hand when he said, “Sophia, I need to attend to some matters. I’ll get Linus to send you home.”

Sophia nodded. “Go ahead with your work, dad.”

Cooper glanced at Linus while nodding at him. Then, he said to Sophia, “Linus has a gift for you.”

 

Sophia broke into a happy grin at the mention of a gift. Therefore, she asked hastily, “Uncle Linus, what is it?”

Linus was still not used to Sophia addressing him as such. We were born on the exact same date. Previously, I used to be her older brother, but now, I have ended up as her uncle for no reason.
