“Yes, I am,”
Cindy nodded.
“I’m Noah’s cousin.” Sophia softened her voice.
As soon as she said that, Cindy’s expression changed dramatically.
Her eyes trembled, darting in all directions, and her already frail body began shaking like it might fall apart at any moment.
Panic, fear, sorrow—an onslaught of emotions overwhelmed her like a demon overtaking her senses.
“W-why did you come find me…?”
“I’ve told the police everything… I really… I don’t know anything… I didn’t see anything… Please don’t ask me anymore… Just don’t ask…”
She hugged herself and crouched down, burying her head in her knees.
The rest of her words were inaudible—soft murmurs to herself.
Candice shook her head at Sophia.
Not now.
Just hearing the boy’s name had pushed this girl to a total emotional breakdown.
