A soft, elegant female voice was heard over the public address system at the airport, informing passengers to begin boarding. Calvin took a look at Sophia, shook off her hand, greeted with Vincent, and turned to leave.
Sophia sat on the ground, looking at Calvin left with a pale face.
Vincent held her up, “Sophia, Come on. Calvin was impulsive, don’t take it seriously. What happened to your mother is none of your business."
Sophia nodded and then walked out like a walking dead with the support of Vincent. After two steps, Sophia suddenly pushed Vincent away and ran out.
"Sophia!” Vincent immediately went after her.
Sophia did not go anywhere else but to the ST cemetery. She wanted to see what Calvin said was true. In fact, she thought: Calvin must tell a joke! Her mother had told her when she was in prison that she should behave well in prison and that when she came out in five years, she would come and pick her up.
Running too fast, Sophia stumbled, fell to the ground and got her foot sprained. Sophia ignored the pain in the foot, got up and continued to run.
Vincent drove to follow her. Seeing that she was limping, he stretched out his hand to embrace her.
"What are you doing, Vincent?!" Sophia's eyes were fierce and severe. At this time she was like a evil spirit.
Vincent had palpitations in his heart and picked her up in his arms, “It is impossible for you to get there till morning if you run to cemetery. I'll drive you there!"
He seemed to feel Sophia was anxious, Vincent drove fast. Originally it was more than two hours of journey, but he only cost an hour.
It was dark and there was cool breeze, which was scary.
Before the car stopped, Sophia opened the door and got off. She ran to the cemetery with the fastest speed.
This was the largest cemetery in ST, and almost all the people who died in ST were buried here. Sophia did not know which tombstone belonged to her mother, so she started from the first tombstone and looked for it one by one.
Vincent followed her. He wanted to take Sophia there, but seeing that she gave a smile when she did not see her mother’s tombstone when looking for it one by one, he changed his idea.
Perhaps she didn't want to find her mother's tombstone so quickly. One by one, when she found it, she would be very tired and had no energy to be too sad.
From the first row of the cemetery, Sophia looked for it and Vincent silently followed her, watching her alternately sad and happy.
After some time, it was completely dark, and the cemetery could not be seen at a little distance. Sophia still did not give up finding it.
And after some time, Sophia lost one of her shoes and got her broken, exposing her toes.
