Since things had turned out in that manner, there was nothing he could do about it but feel distressed. What rights do I have to love her?

Three years ago, Quinton secretly brought Sophia back and hid her from sight because she was pregnant. When she went into labor, the town was still at war and lacked doctors and medicine. In the deserted hospital that was bombed, she delivered to a girl in writhing pain and as a result, both mother and daughter almost died in the process. After that, he hid her in yet another dilapidated town. Sophia had always loved the city, but she was forced to wither away in a small place.

He wanted to give her the best, but still hurt her in the end.

Hence, it was only natural that she did not reciprocate his feelings.

Quinton remained silent as he helplessly pressed his hands on the wall with his head lowered in silence.

When Sophia was about to continue speaking, Cooper reached out and flipped the ‘off’ button while saying, “Okay, time’s up. We’re leaving now. You better leave soon. Otherwise, I’ll definitely turn you into minced meat!”

She grumbled, “Dad—”

However, the audio and visual immediately stopped. When Quinton raised his head again, only the bare wall was in front of him, creating a distance of thousands of miles between him and Sophia.

At that moment, she was still in Meyes and what he saw was a mere projection of her being in that place.

He finally left Michel’s Castle in low spirits while she prepared to leave for Cethos.

 

Cethos was a place that Sophia longed to return to as she was tired of eating mashed potatoes and bread in Europe and America. She much preferred to visit Chinatown there to have Cethosian dishes, but Linus once mentioned that those foods could not be compared to the authentic ones back home.

Once they landed in Cethos, he brought her to have an authentic hotpot.

 

As their car left the airport and passed by the city square, they saw many exhibitions of the Cethosian culture as it was their cultural week. Apart from that, there was an introductory video being screened on the large screens, elaborating on the country’s tasty food, beautiful sceneries and their folk cultures.

As Sophia leaned against the car windows, she observed everything in excitement. As they were caught in a traffic congestion where their car was bumper-to-bumper, she rolled down the windows to watch the video about Cethosian culture on the display screen.
