After making sure that Sabrina had gone to the toilet alone, Aino turned to look at Yvonne and Ruth. With a troubled expression, she suddenly said to the two of them, "Aunt Yvonne, Aunt Ruth, I think my mother has something on her mind."
Yvonne immediately replied with a serious tone," What's the matter, baby?"
"When Mommy left our house this morning, she accidentally ran into a grandma who was wearing very dirty and shabby clothes, but it was the grandma herself who had run into our car. Without asking Mommy for compensation, she immediately ran away. Ever since that happened, Mommy has seemed quite unhappy.
"I even called out to her several times on the way here, but she didn't hear me."
Yvonne and Ruth both remained silent.
This was a serious issue indeed.
After two or three seconds, Yvonne tried to comfort Aino, "It's okay baby, if your Mommy runs into any problems, Aunt Ruth and I will definitely help her. We'll find a way to resolve it together, so please don't worry, Little Princess!"
Aino nodded, her worry turning into joy instantly.
At that moment, Sabrina also returned from the bathroom. When she saw the three people looking at her at the same time, she couldn't help but smile.
"For some reason, when I look at your expressions now, I feel like you guys are going to slaughter me like a fat pig. After buying a whole trunk's worth of clothes and shoes, so much that I can't even fit them i n the car, what more do you want from me?"
Despite her words, Sabrina was actually feeling delighted.
Nothing could bring down her mood.
After all, Sebastian had given her a full million, just for her to splurge on clothes today.
On top of that, Sabrina had never shopped in a mall like this before. Since she never had much money back then, she would only window shop, unable to afford the items on display.
Now that she had the chance to come here with her daughter and girlfriends, she finally knew what it felt like to be served. Wherever the four women went, the sales assistants would welcome them like queens.
As such, the three girls and a five-year-old little girl enjoyed themselves immensely in this dazzling shopping mall.
What else are you afraid of?"
Seeing how concerned her two girlfriends were about her, Sabrina couldn’t help but laugh.
"Hey, it's nothing. On the way here, I ran into an old lady. Somehow, from behind, she resembled my dead mother. The scene kept lingering on my mind for a long time, especially since I’ve been planning to go back to my hometown recently, where my mother is buried. When I go back to work on Monday, I’ll request for leave from the director to do so." i
Sabrina started to sound dejected. "I... Since I went to university, and then jail, it has been... nine years. I haven't returned to my hometown in nine years. I still don't know where my mother is buried. Is she buried with my father? Does anyone tend to their graves?
"I have no idea."
By the end, Sabrina's voice had become incredibly soft.
Yvonne and Ruth didn't know how to comfort her either.
Luckily, at that moment, Sabrina’s phone suddenly rang. When she picked it up to look, she saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Despite some hesitation, Sarina answered anyway. "Hello, who is this?"
