Huh? The photo on the right used to be a solo portrait of Mom, but now how has it turned into a picture of Mom and Uncle Jonathan together? They both look very young, in their twenties, and their poses are very intimate—they look just like a couple deeply in love.
Opening the last memento Mom left her, this letter felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, yet at the same time, it resolved all the doubts that had been weighing on her heart.
Sophie:
By the time you read this letter, I believe Mom has already left you forever. I can't bear to part with you!
Please forgive Mom's selfishness—I can't go to America with you anymore. But you must leave this place of trouble, whether it's America or some other country. You have to stay far away from here.
