Chương 109: Her Gaze Vacant and Lifeless

With each step, Sophia's heart weighed heavier in her chest, the weight of the lifeless infant in her arms a crushing burden.

The corridor seemed to stretch on endlessly, echoing the hollow ache within her soul.

Every footfall echoed in the silent halls, a somber cadence that matched the rhythm of her grief-stricken heart. Each moment felt like an eternity, filled with the unbearable weight of loss and despair.

As she walked, Sophia's thoughts swirled in a tumultuous whirlwind of emotion.

She couldn't comprehend the cruelty of fate, nor could she fathom the depths of her own anguish. All she knew was the overwhelming sense of emptiness that consumed her.

The journey to the communal bath felt interminable, every passing second stretching into infinity. Yet, Sophia pressed on, driven by a sense of duty and a desperate need for closure.
