Isabelle knew what her dad was implying. Two days ago, they got into an argument because of Dexter. It was not a grave problem; she merely thought that the Bailey Family had been putting too much pressure on her brother. During the exchange, she only advised Old Mr. Bailey to give Dexter some freedom.
Old Mr. Bailey probably took it the wrong way, thinking that she didn’t want to see Dexter succeed and was unwilling to hand over the company leadership. Nobody wanted the incident to happen. Am I at fault now? She stared at him incredulously. “Am I such a vile person in your eyes?”
His eyes were red, and one could tell that he would collapse at any moment. When Isabelle closed her eyes, she felt the world spinning around her as well.
When John reached home that evening, he told Sophia about Dexter’s car accident. She was shocked by the sudden news. Even though she did not know Dexter personally, she heard of the guy a few times from her conversation with Isabelle.
In the past, when Isabelle walked past the entrance of Sophia’s place, she always told Sophia that she was sending Dexter to cram school, which proved that they had a good relationship. Sophia quickly asked, “How’s he doing? Is he safe?”
John personally felt that Dexter would be alright. Even though Dexter’s injuries appeared serious and he lost a lot of blood, his car was likely moving at a slow speed at the intersection. Therefore, John replied with his assumption, “He should be fine.”
At dinner, William returned to the Constance Residence. John recalled that Old Mr. Bailey had a dinner appointment with William tonight. However, now that Dexter was involved in an accident, it made sense that the dinner had to be canceled.
William heard about Dexter’s situation as well. He said that he wanted to wait until Dexter was discharged, and he would arrange for Dylan to make a visit with some gifts. Even though the two families did not have an amicable relationship in private, the Constances had to fake the appearance due to their business relationship.
After everything had been arranged, John woke up the next morning only to be hit by unexpected news. He received a call, informing him that the hospital had failed to resuscitate Dexter, leaving him frozen in disbelief for some time before mumbling into his phone, “Alright. I got it.”
When he hung up, he was still paralyzed and fazed.

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...
