Chapter 584
On her way home, another call came in from that number. This time, Sophia didn’t answer, declining
the call right away. The moment she arrived home, she threw her cell phone aside as soon as she
stepped foot in the house. Then, she went to the bathroom and washed her face.
When she came out after having done so, she stood in the living room with her arms akimbo. Well,
well, I’m no longer hungry now. Instead, both my heart and stomach feel leaden.
After a while, her cell phone rang again. Closing her eyes, she ignored it and let it go to voicemail. This
time, however, the caller was particrly persistent, calling again when the call went unanswered. As
Sophia listened to the incessant ringing of her cell phone, random thoughts crept into her mind, making
her exceedingly irritable.
When it rang for the third time, she strode over in a few strides and picked up the call once more. “How
did you get my phone number?” she demanded before the person on the other end could say anything.

There was a brief silence before the woman replied, “I went back to the vige. An elder in the vige
gave it to me.”
Sophiaughed soundlessly. Oh yes, I left my phone number with a neighbor back when Grandpa
passed away and said to contact me anytime if something happens. She then asked, “Why did you
return when you’ve left for so many years? Are you in the vige now?”
“No, I’m not.” The woman sounded pitiful as she answered, “I’m now elsewhere. I heard about you, so I
went back for a look.”
Sophia licked her posterior mr. “What did you hear about me? Well?”
A brief silence ensued before a voice drifted over from the other end. “I heard that you got married. I’m
ted, yet I’m also sad that I wasn’t by your side. I’m really sorry for not having attended your
wedding.”
At this, Sophia burst outughing. “So? Why are you calling now? My wedding was a year ago. There’s
nothing you can do even if you contact me now.”
The woman seemed to be at a loss for words at this remark, so after catching her breath, Sophia
commented, “You must be living the high life now. The two of you must be rather well off out there all
these years.”
“No, no,” the woman instantly refuted. “I haven’t been living at all. Soph, there isn’t a day that passes
by without me missing you all these years. I actually wanted to go back, but I was embarrassed to do
so. Besides…”
There was a slight hesitation on the other end before she continued, “Your father and I are divorced. If I
returned, I wouldn’t have had any identity to speak of, so I dragged my feet all these years.”
Sophia frowned. “The two of you are divorced?” All at once, she gave a bark ofughter. “When did you
get divorced? Have you remarried, then?” There was no forting reply. Hmm, it means that she has
truly remarried, then. Thus, she nodded. “You have another child?” Again, she was only greeted by
silence.
Finally, she murmured in assent. “That’s good. Spend the rest of your life with your husband well. Don’t
abandon your child again, for that’s your responsibility. Stop trying to foist your child onto someone
else. Irresponsible parents go to hell, you know?”
Sobs came from the other end. Since there was no image whatsoever but merely a voice, it felt as
though the person was rather grief-stricken.
However, Sophia wasn’t at all moved. She merely said, “Alright, now that you know that I’m doing well
and vice versa, it’s enough.
There really isn’t a need for us to keep in contact anymore.” After having said that, she added,
“Actually, you shouldn’t even have contacted me.”
The sobs from the other end of the phone made her feel as though she was the viin here, so after a
moment’s contemtion, she concluded, “Let’s call it a day. I’m hanging up.” An exmation drifted
over the line, but before the woman could say anything, Sophia had already hung up.
Clutching her cell phone, she pursed her lips, her emotions all over the ce. Nevertheless, it wasn’t
grief she felt. Rather, her life seemed to be growing increasingly chaotic, bing a tangled mess with
no way out.
