WantNovelChapter 1802
Suddenly, Odie reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. It was as if this was the only way he
could find even a bit of calm. The suddenness of it left Sophie momentarily stunned.
"What's up with you?" Sophie asked, a bit baffled. "Did you get out of bed on the wrong side this morning?"
Odie kept holding onto her, not letting go. "Seriously, what's going on? Do you needto take you to the
nurse?"
"Just don't talk," Odie murmured in a low voice. "Lethold you for a little while."
Sophie could feel her legs starting to ache. Odie was a good head taller than her, and if she wasn't standing on
tiptoe, her whole head would probably be buried in his chest. "Could you ease up a bit? | can hardly breathe
here," Sophie gasped.
Who wakes up and feels the need to hug a near-stranger like this, she wondered. Maybe sensing she was about
to pass out, Odie suddenly let her go, looking a bit surprised at himself. Sophie instinctively stepped back,
almost stumbling.
Odie was a bit shocked by his own behavior. He'd felt a sudden panic, worried he might be stuck in this dream
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtforever. But when Sophie appeared, she seemed to be the anchor of this world for him. Holding her was the only
the felt grounded, felt real.
"Are you running a fever? You look a bit flushed," Sophie said, reaching out to check his forehead. But Odie
quickly swatted her hand away.
"What does it matter to you if I'm sick?" Odie said, his face a bit stern. "Don't sneak up onlike that again, or
you'll regret it."
Sophie was puzzled. "I said hi right to your face earlier, and you ignored me. Or maybe your family has a history
of mental illness, which.

get it, it's not something you an control, so you don't have to-"
"You're the one with mental issues," Odie said, rolling his eyes. What was Sophie thinking? Her thoughts
seemed to jump from one thing to another, all kinds of wild ideas
popping into her head.
"I didn't mean you're mentally ill, just that lots of people have a family history of it. It's not worth jumping off a
building over."
Odie rubbed his temples, feeling a bit exasperated. He didn't want to keep talking to Sophie right now.
“First, | don't have a family history of mental illness. Second, that's not why I'd jump off a building. Third, | have
no plans to jump off a building," Odie clarified. "Got it?"
"Yes!" Sophie nodded earnestly. "I get it!"
With one sentence, Odie felt like everything he'd said had gone to waste. He stepped aside, making a path. "Go
to class, stay away from me. | don't want to see you right now."
"We're in the sclass. If | go to class, what are you going to do?" Sophie asked.
Odie felt like he was wrapped up in an octopus's grip. After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Mind your
own business."
Right now, his main focus was
figuring out how to get out of this
dream, not wasting twith a

became. Instinctively, he reached for a cigarette, only to find his pockets empty.
