Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 907

Sophia shut her eyes in panic as she sat in the accelerating car. Finally, when the yellow light was about to turn red, their car dashed past the intersection. Right when the car crossed the line, the lights at the intersection turned red.

The two cars chasing after them appeared tempted to run the red light. Thankfully, the traffic in the other direction at the intersection started to move at their green light and blocked off the road, forcing the two cars to stop in front of the red light.

Sophia sensed that the driver let out a sigh of relief after the ordeal, his cold sweat visible on his sideburns, which clearly showed the level of danger they had faced just now.

Sophia turned around and stared at the back, confirming that the two cars were not following them anymore. After that, she informed John that they were safe for the time being. However, he was still worried, so he ordered the driver to pull over so that they could get out of the car and hide somewhere else.

The driver scanned the surroundings and chose to pull over in front of a small grocery store on the street. Then, he asked Sophia to head out and wait at the entrance of the store. She heeded his advice and thought to herself, No matter how psychopathic those stalkers are, they likely won’t have the guts to publicly harm me at the grocery store’s entrance that’s full of people. Thus, she hurried over and hid herself well in a corner.

Soon, John arrived there, running as he called her name. Hearing that, she shuffled out from her hiding spot. He looked like he was in great shock. After all, he had been on the phone throughout the situation just now, so he knew about their brush with danger. After checking her from head to toe, he even caressed her belly. “Are you hurt?”

She shook her head. “I consider myself lucky that I’m safe.” Then, she took out her phone to show him photos she took of the two cars during the car chase. He took a quick look and noticed that the car plates were clearly legible, but they were probably fake. Anyway, he transferred the photos from her phone to his and gave her another hug. “You must have been scared. I’m sorry for arriving late. It’s all my fault.”

Indeed, Sophia was scared out of her mind; even her body was still shaking uncontrollably. Just now, in the car, she had prepared herself for the worst—that she’d die with the baby in her.

In the midst of the danger, she wondered how John would handle that tragic outcome. A tragedy like that would likely crush his world. Putting that thought aside, she took a deep breath and said, “I’m not scared about anything else. I only worry about the baby.”

John pursed his lips, cupped her face in his palms and gave her a light peck at the corner of her lips. His voice was soft, tinged with a hint of self-blame. “I’ll send you home now. Let’s not leave the house for the time being. I’ll find the mastermind behind this. Trust me.”

Of course she trusted him, so she nodded. “Okay.”

Then, John brought some men with him. They stayed in their cars that were parked in front of the small grocery store. After that, he ordered the rest of the men to follow the previous driver in search of the two cars just now. As for him, he’d drive Sophia back home.

During the trip, they sat beside each other, silent. When they arrived at the Constance Residence, Old Mrs. Constance was sunbathing at the entrance. When she saw them home, she was surprised. “Didn’t you just leave home? Why are you back so soon? And John, you’re back as well. Is there anything?”

John chuckled. “Yeah, I left a file at home so I have to pick it up. Mom is not at home, so she wanted Sophia to head home first. She’ll drop by later.”

He purposely kept the incident just now from Old Mrs. Constance for fear of agitating her. The old lady didn’t think much about it and nodded. “Alright. What a surprise! I thought something had happened.”

Sophia flashed a smile at her. “We’re good! What could happen to us? Everything’s fine.”

Then, John helped Sophia back to their room. The moment they stepped into the room, they immediately received a call from Matilda, who asked about Sophia’s delayed arrival. She had been waiting for Sophia but no one showed up.
