Doesn’t he read the news at all? Why does he seem like he doesn’t know the situation John and I are in?
Upon finishing his words, Dr. Holt passed the medical card and prescription slip to Ian. “Alright. Get the cream from the pharmacist and apply it every day. Also, don’t eat
anything spicy. Your bruise should fade in a few days.”
Ian thanked Dr. Holt, who then turned to Sophia and flashed a smile at her. “You can leave with him now.”
Sophia was already upset when Dr. Holt said those things to her, which made her feel even more distressed, even though she didn’t understand why she was feeling this way.
After leaving the hospital, they headed for Logan’s place. Seeing Ian in such a state, Logan misunderstood that it was the Morgans who hurt him. Therefore, he jumped to his
feet and wanted to go to the Morgans’ place to get even with the Morgans.
Seated on the couch, Sophia quickly stopped him, saying, “It was John who hit him.”
The news stunned Logan. “Y-Y-You mean it was John who did it?” He then turned to Ian. “Why did John punch you?”
It was a difficult question to answer as both Sophia and Ian didn’t want to talk about it. After remaining silent for a while, Ian asked Logan what happened to Simon and Sally.
As a simple-minded man, Logan was successfully distracted and he soon bragged about how he schemed against Sally. Then, he talked about how Leah gave her daughter a
piece of her mind. Now, Sally was grounded at her house and wasn’t allowed to go to the company. Logan talked a lot, but Sophia and Ian weren’t paying attention to him.
Sophia took a look at Ian and asked in a lowered voice, “Last night, why did you—” She then halted her words with an embarrassed expression.

Sophia’s room intentionally. Last night, he had wanted to look for the guest room, but for some reason, he ended up in her room.
When he woke up in the morning, he was flabbergasted as well. Fortunately, other than his jacket, he still had his clothes on. Also, he was spared the embarrassing moment
since Sophia wasn’t beside him at that time.
Sophia scratched her head and thought of John. Since he could enter the house directly, the door was supposedly not locked. Sophia was glad that he didn’t go upstairs and
catch them in the bed. Otherwise, it would be utterly mortifying.
Sophia sighed. “Just forget about it and don’t mention it again.”
Ian pressed his lips together and stared at her for a moment before giving an affirmative grunt.
After staying at Logan’s place for a while, Sophia said that she was feeling unwell and went home. It wasn’t an excuse, as her stomach was really churning, and her head was
dizzy due to the hangover. Moreover, she was distressed after what happened between John and her.
Knowing nothing, Logan offered by asking, “Why don’t I send you home?”
Sophia waved her hand. “There’s no need. I’ll hail a taxi.”
Rising from the couch, she left the place without even bidding farewell to Ian.
When she reached home, she stayed in the living room for a while and wailed suddenly. Why do I feel so upset?
Since then, John never contacted Sophia nor came to her house. It seemed like they were in a cold war at the moment. Or perhaps, it couldn’t be considered a cold war at all.
After all, without the restraint of marriage, the cold war could simply be interpreted as a fall out between them.
However, Sophia was thankful that she was able to have some quiet for a few days.
Two days later, when she was taking a class at the driving school, she received a call from Old Mrs. Constance, who spoke in an oddly passionate tone and invited Sophia to
her home to have a meal.
Sophia was shocked by her hospitality. Why is she inviting me to have a meal at her home all of a sudden?
