Sophia Wood's words plunged Theodore Holmes into a long silence. Staring down at the teacup in front of him, he didn't make a sound for a very long time.
Seeing him like this, Sophia knew that what she had just said had not only gone into his ears, but also into his heart.
She didn't continue talking, letting him slowly digest what she had just said. She believed he wasn't the kind of child who was utterly beyond redemption.
The only reason he had done those things was because of his mother. In his stubbornness, he believed his mother's death had been caused by Amelia Linton.
Thinking of this, Sophia felt she should add something: "Fabian! If your mother were still alive, she wouldn't want to see you like this either. You living a happy, joyful life is what she would most want to see."
As a mother herself, she understood the feelings of mothers everywhere. Every mother hopes her child can live happily, can live well.
