The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John soon wound down the window and stuck his head out to investigate his surroundings. At the same time, several frustrated drivers directly got out of their cars and stepped forward to find out more about the crash. When they passed by John’s car, he could notice the helpless look on their faces and their irritated sighs.

John was not a busybody himself, but it seemed that Sophia had rubbed off on him; after all, this time they often hung around each other. Therefore, he opened the car door and stepped out of his car. After locating the crash, what came into John’s sight was a victim in a school uniform lying down in a pool of blood. While the traffic was heavily congested, the ambulance needed some time before arriving.

Meanwhile, John remained still, noticing a car right beside the victim as a man, who seemed to be the driver, was standing next to the vehicle in bafflement. He was seen instinctively explaining to the bystanders that he was driving normally when the boy suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. Then, he pointed at the surveillance camera and vouched for his innocence. “You could take a look at the surveillance footage, and you’ll know that I didn’t cause this.” Nevertheless, no one seemed to be interested in hearing his defense as they were all desperate for the victim to be taken to the hospital.

At that moment, John stared at the boy lying motionlessly on the ground, so he wasn’t able to see how injured the victim was. A few moments later, the traffic began to clear shortly before the ambulance arrived on the scene. Then, the paramedic team quickly approached the victim to examine his injury.

As the victim was placed on the stretcher and carried away, John managed to catch a glimpse of the boy’s face. Although there were initially bloodstains on it, they were all wiped off by the paramedic team members. In that instant, John frowned, finding that face familiar as if he had seen that boy somewhere else. As soon as they entered the ambulance, the paramedic team quickly set off for the hospital, escorted by the traffic police ahead of them.
