Cindy went to the bathroom and drenched a towel before coming back to wipe Aurora up.
The cool sensation of the towel sobered Aurora up a little. She was no longer a child anymore, so she knew she had fallen sick at that moment. Aurora pushed herself up to get out of bed. “I’ll take some paracetamol. That should patch me up just fine.”
They did have some paracetamol at home, since Cindy had kept some after she moved in. Despite that, she said, “I think you should go to the hospital. We need to get you checked just in case.”
Aurora forced a weak smile. “I don’t need to make a trip to the hospital. I know my body better than anyone. It’ll be fine after I take some pills.” She wobbled out of the room to get the paracetamol. Aurora knew where the medicines were, and she went straight for it.
Cindy went and stopped her. “You should wash your face for now. Get something to eat before you take the pills, or it’ll hurt your stomach.”
Aurora had no strength to resist at all. She nodded at Cindy and acquiesced, “Fine, I’ll do as you say.” She went to the bathroom and washed her face quickly before wobbling back to the dining table.
Cindy and Ian quickly sat down, and Cindy filled Aurora’s bowl with food. “You can’t heal without a full belly.”
Aurora picked her cutlery up and stuffed the food into her mouth quietly.
Ian had a frown on his forehead. He didn’t eat anything and only stared at his mother.
Aurora was eating a lot, and she was eating fast. It was obvious that she was gobbling everything up without even chewing.
Cindy said nothing. After all, it was good enough that Aurora could work up an appetite.
Aurora finished her meal before Cindy and Ian even started, gobbling up half the food all by herself.
Cindy came back with some pills, then she poured a glass of water.
Aurora took all the pills Cindy gave her without even looking. After that, she pushed herself up and told the couple, “You guys go ahead. I’ll get some sleep. Just leave me alone, and I’ll be fine in a jiffy.”
Ian and Cindy said nothing to that. After Aurora went back to her room and closed the door, they looked at each other and sighed.
It was obvious that Aurora’s condition was linked to the earlier visit. They wondered what they had talked about, since it caused Aurora to act weird the whole day.
Ian told Cindy, “You go first. You must be tired.”
Again with the sex talk? She glared at him and pursed her lips. A while later, she shot back, “Hey, you were the one doing all the work earlier, so you should be the one eating. I’m fine, really.”
Ian laughed, and he pinched her face. “Well, someone’s improving.”
Cindy snorted. She was actually blushing, but she tried to look as calm as possible. “Thanks to you.” She popped a piece of meat into her mouth.
Ian’s lips curled into a smile, and he went back to his meal. Halfway through, they started talking about the news online.
Cindy was curious about it. She wanted to know what happened to Leah after she went to the hospital and argued with Bryce.
Ian had no idea either. He actually wanted to call Sean and ask about it, but it would feel like he was just trying to get a kick out of the situation. It would not look good on him, so he didn’t make the call in the end.
Judging by how aggressive Leah and her children were looking in the car park earlier, Ian guessed that they had probably caused a big commotion in the ward. Bryce had always been the lynchpin in the household, and Leah had always allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Bryce was already used to the status quo, so Leah’s sudden demands would most probably infuriate him. However, that was not a smart move by Leah. Instead of being so aggressive, she should have chosen to lay low while she was in the heat of the matter.

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...
