The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Zack came quickly with John’s apparel in hand. He went inside the ward, not knowing why Sophia was hospitalized, but he was shocked to see John drenched in blood. “You really go far.” His eyes widened.

John ignored him and took his clothes before going to the restroom to change. Zack then went to look at Sophia. She was asleep and stable, though she was still pale.

After John came out from the restroom, he looked at Zack. “You can take care of her. I’m leaving.”

Zack quickly stopped him. “Hold up a sec. You’re leaving just like that?”

Out of habit, John frowned. “What did you expect?”

Zack looked back at Sophia. “Aren’t you gonna wait until she wakes up? And chat?”

Pivoting, John went outside. “We have nothing to say.” But when he was at the doorstep, he stopped and looked back at Sophia. “Our plan still goes on. If you can’t take care of her, get a caretaker to do it.” Before Zack could say anything, he closed the door and left.

Sophia woke up in the afternoon, still groggy. She looked up at the ceiling for a long while. Zack was sitting on the sofa, now in his fifth match of the game. When Sophia woke up, he quickly went up to her. “You’re awake. Do you feel unwell?”
