The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 638

John came out from the restaurant to crouch beside her before starting to pat her on the back in an attempt to soothe her. “Is your stomach acting up again? Is it because of the food you ate while on the train?”

While on their journey back home, Sophia didn’t eat a lot, so John figured there might be some problems with her stomach. After taking a few deep breaths, Sophia told him, “It might be a relapse of gastritis as I hadn’t been eating on time.”

Heaving a sigh, John helped her up. “You should drink some hot water to help warm your stomach. After the meal, you will have to take some medicine.”

Meanwhile, Fabian was leaning back in his chair while turning to observe Sophia. There was a smirk on his face, and there was a shrewd look in his eyes. Zack smacked his lips before lamenting, “This recent trip was such a hassle! Back when we were in the car, Sophia was also retching as she was suffering from motion sickness.”

Logan gave some thought to the situation before commenting, “I couldn’t exactly remember what the trip was about, but I remember going on a trip by train when I was a kid. It swayed so much that I nearly puked. I never suffered from motion sickness, but that journey on the train was exceptionally uncomfortable.”

These few men were somewhat lacking in experience of such matters, so they assumed that Sophia was indeed suffering from motion sickness.

Meanwhile, Fabian wore a smile while saying, “You guys… Ah well, let’s just eat.” He had something to say, but he decided against speaking up as he deemed the timing somewhat inappropriate.

Upon Sophia’s return, John had the waiter serve her some warm water, which seemed to have a soothing effect after she drank it. Glancing at her, Fabian said, “Pick out and eat whatever your stomach can take. I understand that this can be frustrating.”

Sophia looked him in the eye, but all he did was smile despite the knowing look in his eyes, which prompted her to avert her gaze without replying to him. She managed to ingest some food, as she couldn’t possibly go without eating at all, but she still felt nauseous upon consuming the food. After a while, Fabian asked for some fruits to be served, which he pushed toward Sophia. “Here you go. Eating some fruits might help you regain your appetite.”

John glanced at Fabian in suspicion, but he chose to say nothing, whereas Sophia thanked the latter before nibbling on the fruits. After their meal, Sophia was planning to go check out her shop, whereas the rest of them also had things that they needed to do.

Fabian looked at Sophia before telling her, “Since I will be passing by your shop, please let me send you there.”
