Matilda sighed. “I wasn’t even this nervous when I was pregnant with John.”
Sophia held her hand. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
Until now, Matilda could still feel chills running down her spine when she thought of what she saw earlier. “How can I not? I was worried sick. It’d be bad if you fell down.”
Now, John was also reminded of what Isabelle said earlier. She said she was innocent and knew nothing, and she only shoved Sophia because of what she said. However, John didn’t care what Sophia said, even though he knew she had a sharp tongue. All he cared about was whether Isabelle knew she was pregnant.
Isabelle stubbornly denied it at first, but when he pressed on, she kept quiet. And her silence was the answer for John. In the end, he told her to stay away from Sophia, then Isabelle cried. What a pain. He hated it when she cried. It was annoying.
Sophia took her phone out and played the recording while they waited for the report. Nothing much could be captured, for the hospital was rowdy. And since her phone was in her pocket, she didn’t manage to catch anything. Isabelle lowered her voice when she shoved her, so nothing was recorded. Sophia knew that would happen, so she was only scaring Isabelle earlier.
John said, “Don’t butt heads with her next time you guys meet. I don’t want her to hurt you.”
John said, “Don’t butt heads with her next time you guys meet. I don’t want her to hurt you.”
Sophia nodded. “I know. I’m not an idiot, so I’ll back off once things start going awry.”
Matilda sighed. “Why did she turn out like this? I thought she was just stubborn, but now she’s downright obsessed.”
Sophia didn’t comment much. All along, she knew Isabelle was an obsessed woman, though that was every woman’s trait. Most women were nostalgic, and once they fell in love, it would be hard for them to love someone new with all their heart. Besides, now that Sophia was divorced, Isabelle thought she had a chance, so she naturally wouldn’t let go.
After a short while of waiting, John went to take the report, and they went back home. On their way back, John called his men and told them to see if Isabelle had brought or sent anyone to the hospital.
He knew Sophia was right; Isabelle couldn’t have come alone. Earlier, once he was done talking to her, Isabelle drove away.
He wasn’t sure if she left because she wasn’t here to have a checkup in the first place, or that she was angered because of their argument. No matter what, he thought Isabelle should be investigated.
Sophia heard his phone call, and she smiled, for John finally took in her advice. At least that was much better than how he used to be.
He sent Sophia back home before going to his company. Before he left, he looked at the report and folded it carefully before keeping it.
Ms. Cannon had prepared lunch and was waiting for them at home. Since Sophia didn’t have breakfast, she went to feast on her lunch in the dining room.
John didn’t have anything for breakfast either, but he had no time, so delivery it was. When he was on the way to his company, Isabelle texted him.
