The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1550

Chapter 1550 Burned

A while later, Ian replied, “I’m not stuck in the past.”

He wasn’t defending himself because what he said was the truth. Indeed, he wasn’t caught up with the past since he hadn’t thought about Sophia for ages now.

Back then, he would reflect on his past whenever he was free, but it always ended up as an uncomfortable experience.

However, it didn’t happen again recently. Even if he had time on his hands, his mind was no longer filled with memories of her.

Ian couldn’t figure out the reason behind the sudden change. Maybe it was due to his mind suppressing those thoughts or the influence by some external factors.

This was why he was frustrated with himself.

After listening to him, Logan sighed. “When I was talking with Sophia before, I could see that she was blaming herself. She felt that she had wasted a lot of your time, so she really hoped that you could start a new life. Even though I’ve never met your assistant before, if she is a nice girl, I will still give you my blessing. As you can see, all of us are supportive of you two, so why don’t you give it a shot?”

At this point, Logan was being slightly cheeky with his words.

However, Ian immediately furrowed his brows. It’s not as simple as ‘giving it a shot’. This is a serious matter that can’t be casually dealt with.

Suddenly, he fell silent as he didn’t know how to reply to Logan.

It was right at this moment that he heard something outside.

Something had fallen to the floor and shattered into pieces before it was accompanied by Cindy’s groan.

Without realizing what was happening, Ian quickly threw his phone aside and rushed out of the room.

At this moment, she was standing in the kitchen and hopping on the spot with one leg. Beside her on the floor was a shattered cup and a pool of water.

He quickly rushed to Cindy’s side and asked, “What happened?”

Just as she was about to say something, she immediately blushed after looking at him. Then, she instantly averted her gaze.“I-It’s nothing.”

Then, Ian realized that he only had a towel wrapped around his waist and nothing else.

He also felt slightly awkward, but it wasn’t the priority at the moment as he looked at the floor. “Is it hot water?”

Cindy replied in the affirmative, but back was still facing him.

He speedily went to the sink and retrieved some cold water to pour on her foot.

After removing her socks, he could see that the instep of her foot was now burning red.

Then, he poured the cold water on the wound several times before he finally helped her to sit on the couch.

In the meantime, Cindy kept her head down, refusing to look at him.

Actually, Ian had also felt awkward. So, the moment she sat down, he immediately returned to his room and changed into something decent before coming back.

There was a medical kit in the house that had everything but ointment.

Cindy had prepared it, but because she probably hadn’t expected something like this to happen, she didn’t buy a bottle of ointment.

Therefore, Ian took an ice bag from the fridge and handed it to her. “You can use this for now. I’ll go and buy some ointment.”

“No need for that.” She was a little embarrassed. “This will work just fine.”

He immediately furrowed his brows again and warned, “Don’t take this too lightly. It’ll be troublesome if this leaves a permanent scar.”

As he already wasn’t in a good mood today, he couldn’t help but sound a bit irritated when he talked to her, which made him look a tad bit scary.

Therefore, she quickly kept her mouth shut.

After he left the house, he trotted all the way to a pharmacy outside the community and returned home with the ointment.

In the meantime, Cindy was seated on the couch with the ice bag on her foot. The ice bag was so cold that it was able to absorb all the pain on the instep of her foot.

However, she couldn’t help but remember how Ian had rushed over to help her while being merely clad in a towel wrapped around his waist.

That image itself was too much for her mind to handle.

When Ian returned, he quickly squatted on the floor and placed her foot on his knee. Then, he applied the ointment on her bit by bit.

As for Cindy, she felt a little embarrassed by his conduct. I can do this myself. I actually don’t need someone else to take care of me because of this.
