Matilda didn’t want to go up against Sophia now, so she just winked at John. He didn’t go out by himself, but instead, he took out his phone and sent a message.
Sophia was in so much pain that she was barely conscious. She felt a buzzing in her mind as many chaotic images appeared alternately, and she couldn’t even figure out where she was at a certain moment.
After a wave of pain passed, Sophia gasped for air, and then in a trance, she felt as if she saw someone.
The man stood not far from her, and his slightly rickety figure was clad in old linen clothes. He looked at her and smiled. Seeing him, Sophia felt like she was standing on the ground and slowly walked toward the figure as she whispered, “Grandpa.”
The man didn’t speak; he just looked at her and continued smiling, after which Sophia reflexively held her belly with one hand as she walked a little faster. “Grandpa, are you here to see me?”
After walking forward a few steps, Sophia pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry. She could see the person in front of her very clearly. It was how her grandfather looked before he became very old.
Sophia had already forgotten what her grandfather looked like when he was healthy. In the end, the old man was so tormented by his illness that he had been reduced to a disfigured and frail sack of bones. Sophia’s memory of him, except for what she saw in photos, stayed at that time.
The old man was wearing rubber shoes on his feet. He walked two steps toward Sophia and looked down at her belly.
At the sight of him approaching, Sophia felt her tears threatening to overflow out of her eyes. She didn’t know what else to say, so she repeated, “Grandpa.”
John heard Sophia mutter something next to him. In order to get what she was saying, he hurried over and put his ear to Sophia’s lips.
After hearing what Sophia said, John paused and then let out a long sigh.
Sophia’s hallucinations didn’t last long. The next time the pain struck, the image of her grandfather disappeared.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
