Chapter 65: The Closest Person

For some inexplicable reason, Sharon's heart skipped a beat. "Do you recognise me?"

Ruby studied her for a while before shaking her head with a smile. 

Sharon frowned and whispered, "Then it must have been my imagination."

"Why do you say so? Do you think we've met before?" Ruby asked, curious. 

Sharon paused and shook her head.

Ruby did not press her further. She turned around and looked at Simon kindly. "Yolanda called. We better hurry, or she'll start worrying." 

Yolanda was Alexandrina's aunt, as well as Simon's mother. 

Simon hesitated and glanced at Sharon. "Sharon..."

"We were just about to leave. Well, goodbye, then." Sharon smiled and waved her hand. She pulled a stupefied Melanie along and headed towards Nick, who was watching them from afar.

Simon watched as Sharon walked away, his eyes flashing with disappointment. 

Ruby reached out to touch his arm and comforted him softly. "You have a long road ahead of you. So what's the rush?"
