The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 768

Having undergone all that suffering, he still needs to tell us everything. That’s just sad.

Sophia stood at the entrance of the warehouse and looked inside. The man had been pushed off his chair and was

now lying huddled on the ground, his body covered in blood. A cigarette dangled from the side of John’s mouth as

he stepped down hard on the man’s thigh wound. “And then?”

Seeing that the man refused to speak further, John applied more strength to his foot. The man screamed and then

groaned. “Okay, okay. I’ll tell you!”

Sophia stood at the door listening to him. The man said hesitantly that the person who instructed him to do this job

would often ask him to do this kind of thing, but the previous jobs he had done were more complicated than this

one. This job was much simpler; all he had to do was to hit a woman in the belly with a hard object. He originally

thought that it was so simple that there was no need for him to spend much effort on it, but he didn’t expect things

to end up this way.

When John asked who hired him, the man yelled, “Old Leopard! It’s Old Leopard. All I know is this nickname. His real

name is no longer in use. Everybody now calls him that.”

John laughed. “It’s him again? I’ve already had him tailed, yet he is still able to act up. It seems that I need to

discard some of my subordinates too.”

Sophia felt bored. Now, she no longer needed to do anything, so there was no room for her to perform any further.

Thus, she found a place to sit down by the door and took out her phone to call Matilda. She mainly wanted to ask

the latter if she felt any discomfort, and to tell her to go to the hospital quickly if something felt wrong. After all,

Matilda was no spring chicken anymore, so there might be some bad effects.

From the other end of the phone, Matilda said that she was fine, and she didn’t need to go to the hospital. Sophia

could vaguely hear William’s voice asking Matilda if the water was too hot and if she wanted to drink it now.

Laughing, Sophia thought to herself that sometimes, things might look bad on the surface, but it would turn out to

be a blessing in disguise. Some of the best surprises were hidden within the worst situations.

Sophia waited at the door for a while. Shortly after, John and Fabian came out, saying that they had asked

everything that they needed to ask. Sophia nodded. “Let’s go then. Why don’t we go and eat something first? I was

upset just now and didn’t eat much. Now I’m hungry.”

Fabian laughed out loud. “You still have an appetite after all that? Wow, I really admire you.” Most women would be

nauseous after witnessing the gory scene just now, but Sophia seemed to have a better appetite after watching it.

Not taking him seriously, Sophia just said, “That’s not my blood anyway, so who cares? Come, let’s go and grab a

bite.”

Hence, John and Fabian brought her to a restaurant to have some food. The two men hadn’t eaten much earlier as

well, so now, they accompanied Sophia to eat. Halfway through the meal, John made a call and asked a doctor to

go over to tend to the man’s wounds. Sophia had struck so violently that John found that the wounds were too

serious for simple dressing to work. He was certain that they had to be stitched up by a doctor.

Meanwhile, Sophia didn’t care about what John was saying on the phone. She simply ate her fill without saying a

word. Then, she took the time to ask Fabian how he was doing.

Fabian replied thoughtfully, “Well, I’m fine. Not much has happened. I just spend my days relaxing and time passes

quickly.”

Sophia sighed. “This morning, Old Mrs. Blackwell and your mother came for lunch.”

Realization dawned on Fabian upon hearing her words. “They must have said something, or else you won’t be

looking at me like this.”

Sophia did not beat around the bush either. “They did, but they were pretty vague about it, so I don’t know much.

But after listening to them talk, I think that they were sorry and regretted their actions. They just don’t know how to
