Chapter 1691
"Are you out of your mind? What are you babbling about?"
Sophie looked at Odie with feigned confusion.
But Odie said, "I'm not a fool, Sophie. Even if I'm not as smart as Colby, I'm not stupid. That day in the valley, when you asked everyone to put on nose plugs, did you already know what the consequences of inhaling too much of that scent would be?" Hearing Odie's question, Sophie just remained silent, not saying a word.
However, this only made Odie more convinced of his thoughts.
"That dream, it really can smooth over all regrets."
Odie looked up at Sophie and said, "I dreamed of my mom, I dreamed that man didn't leave her."
Hearing Odie talk about his dream, Sophie was taken aback.
A bitter smile appeared on Odie's face as he said, "Turns out, at the bottom of my heart, the source of all my suffering is still because of that man."
"Dreams are fake, and the beautiful dreams within them are fake too. Don't overthink it."
"I'll return those exact words to you."
Odie leaned against the bedside and said, "If you really weren't overthinking, you wouldn't have asked Gordon, that sickly guy."
"It seems you know what I wanted to ask. All of you knew, only keeping me in the dark."
"I learned a lesson when I was young."
Odie said lightly, "The truth is never something told by others, but something you have to find out for yourself. If you want to know something, you have to investigate it yourself. Never expect to hear the truth from someone else's mouth." At this point, Odie paused, looked at Sophie, and said, "Unless... you don't want to find out."
Actually, based on Odie's understanding of Sophie.
If Sophie wanted to know something, she would have definitely investigated it already, not wait until now.
But so much time had passed.
And Sophie was still asking others in the most foolish way.
There was only one possibility.
That was, Sophie, knew better than anyone else in her heart.
She didn't dare to investigate because she was afraid of discovering some truths that she couldn't accept or predict.
"Stop speculating wildly. This has nothing to do with you; I'll investigate it myself."
After saying that, Sophie picked up the pieces of the water bowl from the ground and said, "Since you're awake, you should take care of yourself. I have work at the company and need to leave first."
Sophie held the fragments in her hands and walked out, silent all the way.
Elodie saw Sophie walking out of Odie's room and asked, "Did Odie say he's going back to Summerfield?" Sophie shook her head.
Hearing this, Elodie asked with some surprise, "Then what were you two talking about inside?"novelbin
"About dreams."
Sophie casually threw the fragments of the water bowl into the trash can.
"Dreams? What's there to talk about dreams?"
Elodie looked puzzled.
"Sophie."
Sandy came out of Jenna's room and interrupted their conversation. "What's up?"
"My brother just called; he wants me to go back overseas. My dad woke up, and the Pollard family has a ton of things waiting for the family to handle, I need to go back and see if I can help with anything, so... might not be able to stay with you all for a While."
Sandy walked up to Sophie with her head
took Sophie's hands and said, "We'll still all be friends in the future, right?"
took a bit awkwardly. She
"Of course."
"My brother, his behavior towards you all before, he had his reasons, I..."
