All the way back, Nicholas Croft seemed to be talking to himself the whole time, because no matter what he said, Sophie Foster didn't respond. She only lifted her hand, her slender finger pressing in the code.
When he saw Sophie press the keypad, the corner of Nicholas Croft's lips curved. Her face might have changed, her personality might be different too, but the one thing that hadn't changed was her essence; no matter what she became, she was still his Lara.
Xiao Mei had long been waiting at the door. When she saw the two come in, she hurried over warmly, grabbing Sophie Foster's hands, her eyes reddening as she pursed her lips. "Madam… you're finally back," that one sentence wrapped up all her guilt and excitement.
Nicholas Croft had instructed Assistant Tang to get in touch with Xiao Mei and invite her back to continue taking care of his wife, and he had also briefly explained that in the car accident Sophie Foster's face had been ruined, so she'd had to change to a new one.
