Chapter 253 - 253: I’m Here For The Dead

Sophia spent most of the afternoon lining up and just over an hour practicing. The other items were more accessible. When the coach demonstrated once, she could remember it, which made the coach suspect that she had learned it. How could a novice learn so quickly?

"Well… There's an exam in five days. Shall I make an appointment for you?" The coach asked.

"Yeah," said Sophia.

If she had taken the test earlier, she would have got the license earlier. After all, the car sent by Andy had been parked downstairs. What a waste! Even if the car wasn't used, all kinds of insurance should be paid.

These days, she was busy studying locks and getting her driving license. The license didn't take her much time. After course two, she went to practice course three for half a day and soon passed the exam. Course four was easy as course one that she remembered the knowledge after reading the book once.

The next day after exam four, she got a call from the driving school that she could get her license.

When the coach handed her the license, he sighed, "If only my students were like you. You know, a man stepped on the accelerator, then the car rushed to the wall! Oh, god! I was in the passenger seat then. I thought I would die!"

It seemed that the coach was a high-risk occupation, Sophia thought.

Sophia had got her license but was still a little nervous about her driving skills. It was her first trip, and she wanted someone to be with her.

The first person she thought of was Albert.

"You want me to guide?" Albert laughed, "I didn't know you thought so highly of me. All right. Let's go."

He went downstairs with Sophia, got into her car, and sat in the passenger seat.

As he expected, Sophia drove quite well, and he didn't need to say anything. She was a steady and well-behaved driver. Even where there was no camera, she would follow traffic rules.

"Where do you want to go?" Sophia asked, "I'll drive you there."

"Anywhere I want to go?"

"Yeah."

Albert thought about it and said. "Let's go to the movies. There are some good movies. I heard they're quite good."

Sophia agreed and drove to the cinema. Then she stopped the car and got out with Albert.

It was Sunday, and there were lots of people in the cinema. They had to wait in line to buy tickets. Albert let Sophia sit and wait, and he lined up to buy tickets.

Sophia went to get popcorn and coke. When she finished, Albert was still in the middle of the line. Seeing that the movie was about to start, she went to him, intending to enter directly after buying tickets.

When they lined up, someone recognized Sophia as well as Albert. Then a lot of people gathered them around and asked for Sophia's photos and autographs.

"How about this?" Albert stood in front of Sophia, "All of your movies are on me. Please let her go. If she takes photos with all of you and signs all of you, we'll miss the movie."

The fans were quite understanding and were glad to watch movies with their idol.

Sophia was embarrassed, "They're my fans. I'll treat them."

Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "As a gentleman, how could I make the lady pay?"

They were so in love, the fans thought but were happy to see that.

When the movie started, Sophia and Albert went in with the fans. But she soon found that her fans weren't even watching the movie. They were watching Albert and her!

It was dark in the cinema, but others kept looking at them. No one watched the movie.

Were Albert and her so attractive?

When they got back home, Sophia noticed that she and Albert were on the news for watching movies together.

Was it that easy to get online?

"I ran into Sophia today. Mr. Pearson generously said that he would treat her fans to the movies. What a good boyfriend!"

"Mr. Pearson had been protecting Sophia from the fans. He is our fans' rival, isn't he?"

"I think these two are a good match. I have been watching them in the cinema. They look better than the stars. Too bad Sophia doesn't act. Otherwise, I'd have to watch every movie of hers."

"When will they get married? No, no. Sophia isn't old enough to get married. It may take a few more years."

"I have a strange thought. What will their kids look like? Smart and clever! Oh, god! How could other kids compare with theirs."

***

Reading the comments, Sophia blushed.

What? Kids? They were true, imaginative.

She was recognized a lot recently, for example, at the driving school. If things continued like this, she would have to wear a mask when she went out.

Fortunately, her fans were well behaved and never did anything to upset her. Like this day, her fans had been watching Albert and her, but no one made a sound for fear of disturbing them.

She felt happy to have these fans.

The next day, Sophia wanted to visit her past parents. She did that on the day of every year.

The cemetery was quiet. From time to time, some people came to pay their respects. No one talked loudly here.

Sophia's parents were buried together here. When she arrived, she found Kevin. She put the flowers in front of her parents' graves. The two graves were next to each other. Her father bought the two plots after her mother died. So, when her father passed away, she just buried them together.

In front of both graves lay identical packages of lilies, apparently bought together.

"You are here, sister," Kevin whispered.

Sophia nodded, placing the two bouquets she had bought in front of the graves. Then she suddenly realized something.

Wasn't Kevin surprised at her coming? Did he find anything?

She did not speak.

After a moment's silence, she rose and left with Kevin.

As Sophia passed by the front row of graves, she thought of that… her last body was buried here.

Her grave was not far ahead. It was weird for her, a living person, to see her own grave.

She walked there, only to find her grave empty and without flowers.

She turned to look at Kevin, "No flowers for your sister?"

Kevin looked at her and said, "I'm here for the dead."

Then he said nothing more and turned away.

He knew it. After all, he was her brother.

But didn't she seem pitiful? No one came to worship her. Albert knew she was still alive and would not come to her grave. But… why did she think of him? He was not her family.

Forgot about it, no matter what, she had now was the most precious life.

As she turned to leave, she noticed that a man came from the other side and stopped at her grave.

She retreated hastily and hid.

She knew the man, and it was Professor Thompson.

He placed a bunch of flowers on Sophia's grave.. He said nothing, but sighed, made a low bow, and turned away.
