Although Sophia was slow to react, Ian had better reflexes, so he turned immediately to pull Sophia into an embrace with his back against the incoming projectile. John was standing on her left but slightly further away, so he didn’t manage to react in time.
The shard crashed into Ian’s back before smashing into smithereens on the ground, while Sophia felt a prickling pain on her calf, which might be due to a wound inflicted by the broken shards. Logan seemed to have forgotten about his anger as he stared at Ian and Sophia while the room fell into dead silence for a few seconds.
It was John who first came to his senses. Stepping in, he pulled Ian away from Sophia to check on her while holding both her shoulders. “Are you alright?”
Sophia looked between John and Ian before pouting. “My leg hurts, but I don’t have the courage to look at it. Am I bleeding?”
The suspender shorts she wore left her thighs and calves exposed. John squatted to see that her calf was indeed bleeding due to an injury caused by the shard. There were two or three wounds, which one of them seemed more severe due to the length of it. Sophia was afraid of pain, so she dared not watch whenever she received an injection, nor was she brave enough to look at her wounds.
After a few second’s pause, Logan rushed toward Sally, bellowing, “You scum! How dare you assault her! I hope you have a death wish!” Logan never had a sound moral compass to begin with, as he would threaten to beat his father up whenever they quarreled, so he had no qualms about kicking Sally because he never liked her to begin with.
Simon quickly pulled Sally aside, so he ended up on the receiving end of Logan’s kick, which prompted Leah to pull Sally and Simon behind her while chiding Logan, “What are you doing? You shouldn’t be resorting to violence!”
On the other hand, Sophia dared not lower her gaze while she froze on the spot. She then asked John with a trembling voice, “John, is the wound big? Does it look scary? My leg hurts, and I can barely stand, so please hold me, quick.”

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...
