The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2022

Chapter 2022 Interesting Girl

Yulia claimed that she was there to visit him, yet she only uttered a few sentences before she left in a hurry. Perhaps she was worried that someone might capture images of her in the hospital, which would be detrimental to her reputation. Ian laughed when he realized that she had shown up even though she seemed so afraid. "Are you sure she really changed, and not just to put on a show in front of us?"

Ian didn't know if he was overthinking this matter, but he felt like Yulia wasn't someone who would rush over with flowers and fruits just to chat for a few minutes before leaving. Logically, she wouldn't have shown up if she were truly afraid. Furthermore, she had told Hannah that she would try to avoid Ian. She had to have a reason for taking the risk to visit him.

Ian's driver froze and stared at Ian, only to find an arrogant smirk on Ian's face. The driver finally realized what was going on after a short while. "It seems like I was too careless," the driver said.

After that, Ian no longer responded to his driver. He was lost in his thoughts as he stared at the ceiling. The driver thought about Ian's words for a moment before he lay down on the bed and began to zone out himself. Both men had nothing much to say to each other.

After a while, Ian's phone rang. He picked his phone up to see the caller ID before tossing his phone away. The driver was rather puzzled by Ian's actions. "Wasn't that Cindy?" he asked.

"No," Ian replied. However, he didn't clarify who the caller was. The driver stared at Ian for a while before looking away. After working with Ian for so long, the driver knew what Ian was like, and he knew that Ian didn't want to tell him any more details regarding the matter. But the driver couldn't think of anyone who would make Ian dismiss the call. Yulia would have been the driver's first guess in the past, but since Yulia had visited earlier that day, it didn't make sense for her to call him again at night. If it wasn't Yulia who called, the driver couldn't think of anyone else.

They stayed silent until the doctor came to give Ian a routine check-up. The doctor found everything to be normal. Since Ian's injury hadn't been too serious, and since he had recovered quite a bit as compared to when he first entered the hospital, Ian asked the doctor if he could be discharged the next day.

The doctor was scribbling on her notepad while speaking. "Sure. You can get yourself discharged in the morning. Your body check-up didn't indicate any issues. We're a little busy here, so if you can't find the primary doctor, just get one of my trainees to sign your documents. You'll be out by noon."

Ian nodded. "Okay. Thank you." The doctor looked up and gave him a smile. "You look different in real life." Ian didn't bother to ask her what was different and simply gave her a smile in return. The doctor was a girl, so Ian's driver began gossiping after she left. "Do you think she's paying extra attention to you?" he asked.

"I'd rather she doesn't do that. Is it a good thing for a doctor to pay extra attention to a patient?" Ian uttered.

His driver chuckled upon hearing his words. "That's true." After a while, Ian felt like sleeping. He pulled his phone close to send Cindy a text before bed. Cindy didn't respond, probably because she had fallen asleep before him. In the end, Ian placed this phone down before turning off the lamp beside his bed.

For some reason, he still couldn't fall asleep. He found himself recalling how Cindy had been when she first entered his field. Since then, Ian had realized how strong Cindy was—she managed to carry all his luggage and vanity case around while still walking with an attitude.

Furthermore, Cindy's gaze had always been calm and steadfast when she looked at him. When they talked to each other, Ian didn't see a hint of admiration in her eyes. She probably didn't fancy me at the start, and she probably isn't charmed by celebrities. Ian was sure of this when Cindy picked fights with him. He knew then that she didn't care how famous he was. At that thought, Ian laughed to himself. What an interesting girl.
