The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 129

Sophia pursed her lips slightly, choosing not to speak.

After a while, Brandon heard a soft apology from her. “Sorry.”

“There’s no need to apologize,” Brandon said, looking at her. “You’re the one who has to go through childbirth, you have every right to make decisions. I just thought...”

He chuckled, letting the sentence trail off.

Sophia didn’t pick up the conversation, her hand fidgeting with the bedsheet, hesitating and conflicted, without looking at Brandon.

Brandon stuffed the hospital summary back into her bag and helped her get her phone out, handing it to her.

“Thanks.”

Sophia whispered her thanks.

Brandon let out a sigh, looking at her. “I’ll go grab some dinner for you, what are you in the mood for?”

“I’m easy,” Sophia replied softly, hesitating again as she looked at him, “Or you can go do your thing first. I’m feeling a lot better now. I can manage on my own.”

She then added, “Really, thank you for today.”

She was genuinely grateful and touched.

Especially in those woozy, awfully uncomfortable moments, Brandon’s sudden appearance was like a burst of relief. The moment she saw him, Sophia felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry. All her discomfort and worries seemed to vanish, replaced by a sense of peace.

She didn’t know what she would have done if Brandon hadn’t been there.

But with Brandon’s presence, Sophia felt an overwhelming sense of calm.

Brandon always had a way of making people feel incredibly safe.

However, this gratitude only seemed to feed a growing sense of guilt inside her.

Sophia was a bit at a loss about how to face Brandon.

But Brandon didn’t leave. To her thanks, he simply responded with a nonchalant “No worries.”

“I’ll go get your food. Rest up and don’t wander off,” he said, his voice as calm as ever.

Sophia nodded gently, “Okay.”

Brandon left, closing the door of the hospital room behind him.
