The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 230

Upon turning around, John saw Sophia sitting in the car with an aggrieved look on her face. He roughly understood what she meant. After letting out a breath of air, he decided to go back to her to carry her out of the car, into the house, and straight to bed.

It was almost noon after all the commotion, but even if they were both hungry, it was nigh impossible for her to cook with an injury. She thus took out her phone while offering, “I’ll order some takeaway. What would you like to eat?”

While he was about to leave, he stopped in his tracks as soon as Sophia said so. He then sat down on her bed before taking her phone from her. The choice of food on the takeaway app was similar to each other, so he handed her phone back after browsing through a few of them. “I’ll have someone bring us some food, so you don’t need to order these.”

She gave him a nod in response. “Okay.”

Remaining seated at his spot, he settled his gaze on the door as if hesitating on something. Sophia thus started a conversation with him. “I met Dylan a while ago, and he told me Uncle Owen will soon be celebrating his birthday. Do I need to show up during the occasion?”

There was a moment’s pause before John turned to look at her. “How did he word it?”

A look of surprise crossed her features. “There’s nothing special about the wording. All he did was told me that Uncle Owen’s birthday is coming soon, so they might be hosting a celebration in the house. He also had me help pick out a present for Uncle Owen.”

John arched his brow. “You did what?”

Sophia lowered her gaze to look at her leg. Perhaps due to the doctor’s attentiveness in bandaging her up, she didn’t feel much pain, aside from a soothing coolness when he was cleaning her wounds. Now that the wounds were covered, she felt much better upon knowing that she wouldn’t be seeing them.

She figured it was because the year she spent living with the Constances made her somewhat delicate, as she used to knock herself all over. After lying down slowly, she extended her legs, then she dozed off after some time in bed.

Meanwhile, John went downstairs to give Zack a call, telling the latter to buy some nutritious food. It came as a surprise to Zack, thus he asked, “Where are you? Are you not at home?”
