John stared at her. "Don't you like me like this? But you always tell me to continue."
Sophia pulled a pillow from the side and threw it at John. "You jerk, shut up!"
The two bickered for a while, then Sophia waved her hand. "I'm gonna sleep. I'm a little tired."
Getting up, John went over to shut the curtains and then closed the door.
Sophia thought he went out, but he didn't. Instead, he came over and lay down on the bed. "I'm tiredtoo. I want to sleep as well." She smiled and snuggled into his arms.
The room was dim, so after the two of them lay down for a while, they both fell asleep.
John was in the hospital for the past two days staying right by the baby, but he couldn't sleep well. Hekept waking up and wanting to take a look at him.
At last, there was nobody other than Sophia beside him, and now he slept peacefully.
However, his phone rang on the bedside table not long after. He quickly took the phone over. He wasafraid that the ringing would wake Sophia, so he picked it up without even looking at it. novelbin
Isabelle's voice was a little low. "John, will you do me a favor?"
John replied, "What's wrong? What happened to your family?"
Taking a deep breath, she uttered, "My grandfather is gone. My dad is now hospitalized again. He isfiling for compassionate release, and I’m currently busy with the procedures. So, I don’t think I canhandle my grandfather’s matters. As for Uncle Ernest and the rest, they’re probably still angry with mygrandfather and refuse to deal with it."
Isabelle paused and then said, "John, will you help me? Just send my grandfather's body to the funeralhome for cremation. There’s no need for anything complicated. Bring the ashes back after it’s done.Can you help me with that?"
At that moment, Sophia had also opened her eyes next to John. As the two of them were close to eachother, she heard everything Isabelle said on the phone.
John agreed and then asked where Elder Mr. Bailey’s body was.
Isabelle sighed. "Still in the hospital. I haven't really done much over there. I called Uncle Ernest, andhe immediately said that he doesn’t care. My dad still doesn't know about my grandfather’s passing. Idon’t dare to tell him yet, so I can’t find an excuse to leave his side. I really have no other options."
Learning that she was in a difficult situation, John asked her to relax and said that he would go over tothe hospital now. After the phone hung up, he got up and put on his clothes.
Sophia also sat up. "Don't worry, take your time."
"I'm not worrying. It's not our family's business anyway. I’m just going over to help out."
John continued flatly, "That old geezer treated you so badly before. To be honest, if it weren't forIsabelle, I really don't wish to help collect his body."
Sophia didn't mind so much. "He’s dead now. All you have to do is throw him into the fire pit.”
Smiling, John turned his head and touched Sophia's face. "You’re really forgiving, aren’t you?"
Sophia found a comfortable position and lay down again. "I really don’t have anything to worry aboutnow. Sometimes I think about the members of the Bailey Family, and I really have no idea what they’refighting for. What's the use of more money at their age?"
John leaned in and kissed her. "It would be nice if everyone could think like you."
He stood up and tidied his clothes. "You should sleep for a while more. I'll go out first."
Sophia nodded, then snuggled under the quilt.
Coming out of the room, John went downstairs quickly and spotted Old Mrs. Constance and Matildachecking on the baby.
Seeing John coming down, Matilda was a little surprised. "What's the matter? Are you going out?”
John nodded. "Elder Mr. Bailey has passed away, and Old Mr. Bailey is now in the hospital. Isabellehas too much on her plate right now, so she asked me to go and help her send Elder Mr. Bailey forcremation."
Old Mrs. Constance was stunned. "Is that old man really gone?"
However, after thinking about it for a while, she thought that it was natural. Elder Mr. Bailey’s healthwas not that great in the first place, so such a big event would have been a big blow to him.
