The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 69

Zack went to call Sophia when room service had delivered their meals. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

However, the morning-after pill made her feel unwell.

It could have been a psychological thing, but she was feeling physically weak.

As such, she lay on her bed and weakly told him that she did not really want to eat.

Zack then walked over and opened the door. He panicked when he saw her lying there. “Are you

feeling unwell?”

Sophia disagreed and said that she was merely feeling somewhat sleepy, which indeed she was as

she was feeling quite exhausted.

Zack contemplated for a few seconds before coming over to the side of the bed. “You’ll still have to eat

something. You can’t not eat anything.”

She then closed her eyes, not saying a word.

Feeling helpless, Zack was left with no options and said, “Take a nap then. Let me know later when you

are hungry, and I’ll order some food for you.”

He then left and closed the door.

Meanwhile, John was sitting in a chair and did not look at Zack when he came out. “What’s wrong?

Isn’t she coming out?”

Zack grunted. “She doesn’t look too well, but she said that she was just feeling tired.”

John grunted. “Perhaps that might be it.”

Without giving it any further thought, Zack then sat down and ate with John.

After dinner, they still had not heard from nor seen Sophia.

Feeling slightly uneasy, Zack looked toward her room and asked John, “Should we go and check on

her? I feel like something’s not right with her.”

John gave it some thought before getting up from his seat and walking toward her room.

At this moment, Sophia was still lying in bed in the same posture; she was all curled up.

John stood at the door and called out to her but did not get a response.

As such, he walked in and stood next to the bed, and that was when he saw that Sophia’s face was

somewhat red.

At this moment, her arms were around her shoulder. It was as if she was cold.

John produced an agonized frown, crouched down, and placed his hand on her forehead. It was hot.

Was it fever?

This immediately reminded John of the cold shower that they both had.

He was a man and had a lot of internal heat, so the cold shower probably did not affect him as much as

it affected Sophia.

In addition, Sophia was also tormented by him in bed after that.

Feeling slightly annoyed, John bent over and carried her up in his arms.

He left the room while calling after Zack; Zack was frightened when he saw John come out of the room

with Sophia in his arms. “What’s going on? Is it her gastric problem again?”

“No, it’s fever.” John continued, “Find us a ride to the hospital.”

Zack grunted and quickly ran outside.

In actuality, Sophia did have some consciousness right now as she opened her eyes and looked at

John for a few seconds before closing them again.

When they were in the rental car, Sophia was in John’s arms.

Throughout the entire ride, Sophia was feeling drowsy. She felt that her head was hurting and her

stomach was also feeling unwell.

After they arrived at the hospital, John ran all the way to register for emergency treatment with Sophia

still in his arms—emergency treatment was the only option at night.

Actually, it was only a fever, and she could very well just take some medication, but John did not feel

good about it.

In the meantime, the doctor at the hospital only gave her a prescription for an antipyretic.

When John took her to get the injection, she was somewhat reluctant. She kept on groaning like a

kitten, “Can I just take medication? I don’t want to get the injection.”

John let out a sigh. It was a rare occasion for him to negotiate with her. “Your fever will subside quicker

if you get an injection, and you’ll also feel better. Medication is not quick enough.”

Sophia pursed her lips and did not respond as she was feeling extremely unwell.

She felt weak and her muscles ached.

After getting the medication, Zack headed to the transfusion room where the doctor smoothly

transferred the medication into the syringe.

At this point, Sophia immediately closed her eyes even though this kind of injection would only take a

few seconds.

She clenched her teeth and her hands were quivering, but the nurse attending to her was experienced

and the whole process did not cause her much pain.

After the injection was completed, John came over and carried her out from the room.

John carried her through this entire process.

A somewhat good-looking man carrying an equally good-looking woman—it was quite a pleasant sight.

There were a good number of people in the transfusion room and most of them were here because of

seafood allergies.

Each of them looked extremely frail compared to Sophia, even though she also looked sickly.

For reasons unbeknownst to him, Zack somehow felt proud.
