The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 765

Fabian agreed. “Take me with you. I wanna go and see who’s so bold to mess with you.”

William, who had rushed upstairs, barged into Matilda’s room.

When Sophia and Ms. Cannon saw this, they packed up and left the room tactfully.

Matilda originally wanted to get up, but she realized that it wasn’t her injury that hurt; it was her entire back. She grunted with pain and lay back down again. Chuckling bitterly to herself, she said to William, “Forget it. I’m not gonna be courteous and get up. I’ll just lie here like this.”

William went over, checked her injury and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Matilda shrugged. “How can it not hurt? But it’s tolerable.”

William sat down next to her. “You used to be so delicate, but now you don’t care so much anymore.”

In the past, if Matilda bumped into something ever so slightly, she would complain about it for a long time.

Matilda laughed at his words, her body shaking with the force of her laughter. “Indeed, I used to be really delicate.”

When had she changed? Matilda herself too wondered about it before. Her change seemed to come at that very moment when she found out that Sophia was pregnant.

Long ago, she used to be a little princess. After marriage, she had turned into an old princess, and she hadn’t found the right place for herself.

When she knew that Sophia was pregnant, she had a sudden flash of realization. She was going to be a grandmother soon, yet she still acted so senselessly.

Perhaps she had started to change then. Even though human growth was a slow process, she felt that she had literally grown up mentally at that split second.

Letting out a breath, William looked at the back of Matilda’s head and said, “It would’ve been great if you were like this in the past.”

Matilda paused; she didn’t quite know what to say.

A brief silence enveloped the room as awkwardness descended upon them. Then, William said, “Do you need to go to the hospital? Are you certain it’s just a superficial wound?”

Matilda thought for a moment before saying, “I think so. It was just a brief impact, so I don’t think it’ll be a big deal.”
