The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 879

John had no idea about Dexter’s personal struggles and was at a loss for words to comfort Isabelle. She sobbed quietly for a while before wiping her tears away in a hurry. She asked him in a whisper, “Are you here alone?”

Not knowing what she meant by this, he explained, “My dad is in your dad’s room.” She nodded and lowered her voice further. “John, you need to be careful. Be careful, got it?”

He still didn’t get what she meant by that, so he stared at her intently without a word. However, she didn’t want to elaborate and merely added, “Tell Sophia to look out too.”

Then, the two sat there in silence before someone came knocking at the door, informing them that Mrs. Bailey wanted to jump out of the window to take her life. The servants could not seem to stop her. She must have been triggered to an extreme, which caused her to act out violently; she had knocked down a few servants who were there to help.

Isabelle was calm upon hearing that. She tidied her shirt and opened the door without a word to walk to a room on the other side of the corridor.

John stepped out after her and immediately heard some crying mixed in with the commotion on the other side, which reminded him of the scene at Old Mr. Constance’s passing. The memories that flooded his mind also included a sudden recollection of Sophia’s family issues. Farewells in life and death are definitely an inevitable challenge for every mortal.

Consumed by the agony of losing her child, Mrs. Bailey screamed at the top of her lungs about wanting to meet Dexter. At that moment, her thoughts were nothing but muddled. But sadly, Old Mr. Bailey had no time to care for her; he didn’t even bother to walk out of his room to check on her.

John briefly went over to check on the situation before heading to Old Mr. Bailey’s room. William was still there to comfort Old Mr. Bailey, who was silent but appeared to be an empty husk even if he did not break down like his wife.

Looking at the mess, John felt that he had nothing to contribute anymore. Since he had not had lunch, he excused himself to get some food and return to the company.

John never thought that Husky was dumb. The guy simply was not utilized fully. Look, Husky has now proven his smarts!
