The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 764

Sophia nodded. “Madam Flintstone is upstairs. He hit her at the small of her back.” Then, she pointed at the item lying on the coffee table. “This was the weapon.”

John went over, picked up the brick and took a close look at it, noting how well-prepared it was. Sneering, he then patted Sophia’s head before turning around and going upstairs.

Sophia followed him into Matilda’s room. The door was not closed, and Matilda was lying on the bed. Her clothes were lifted up, exposing her back with a small bruise on it which was bleeding slightly.

John stared at the injured area for a moment before saying, “My men are chasing the guy, so rest assured that he will not escape.”

Matilda replied, “It’s fine as long as Sophia isn’t hurt. That guy is too audacious to have done that.”

John went over to sit on the side of the bed. Watching Ms. Cannon placing an ice pack on Matilda’s wound, he said, “It was my mistake. I should have expected it, but I didn’t.”

No one could have expected this to happen, so the truth was that John could not be blamed at all.

Matilda smiled. “It’s okay. We’re considered very lucky that nothing terrible has happened.”

John nodded without a word.

Then, Sophia looked at John sitting next to her. He had probably never encountered such a situation before, so he didn’t know how to comfort Matilda. Except for being shameless in front of me, he’s still the same as before.

Sophia told Matilda to get some rest, then she asked John, “Does your father know that you came back here?”

Looking up at Sophia, John answered, “I saw him near the elevator, so I told him briefly about it. I’m not sure if he’ll come over later though.”

Matilda said forlornly, “You two don’t need to help me so much. I know how to handle my own problems.”

Sophia stood by the bed. “We’re not trying to assist you in anything. It’s just that you got hurt, so it’s only right that he comes and visits you.”
