Female Novel
Chapter 595
Raking a hand through his hair, Zack chortled. “I’m really anxious when I see the two of you at such animpasse.” Then, he left the room with the documents.
John chuckled lightly. Who isn’t anxious? I myself am anxious, but some things can’t be resolved inhaste. I’ve done a few foolish things in the past, which is why I end up boxing myself into a passivestate of affairs now. Sighing, he then lowered his head and started perusing the documents.
Meanwhile, Sophia plopped onto the chair for a rest after having bustled around. She was feelingcrummy, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly was ailing her. My head seems to be spinning, butit then feels as though it’s gastric reflux, and at the same time, it also feels like a stomachache.Anyway, it feels complicated.
Robin was sitting beside her, but her exuberance earlier had all but vanished. Instead, she appeared atad distracted. After a while, Sophia turned and looked at her. “If it’s too busy in the afternoon, you canjust close up. I’m going home first. I don’t feel quite good.”
Robin was startled, making it glaringly obvious that she’d zoned out just now. Staring at Sophia, sheasked, “What’s wrong?”
Thumping her chest, Sophia answered, “I can’t quite explain it, but I just feel worn out. I probably didn’tget enough rest yesterday, so I’ll just go home and catch some Zs.”
Her remark of not getting enough rest had Robin’s imagination running wild. John stayed overnight atSophia’s place last night, and she didn’t get enough rest… Robin pursed her lips. “Did you and John—”
Truly bone-tired, Sophia didn’t catch what she said. Getting to her feet, she waved at Robin. “I’m goinghome first. Just close up if you can’t handle things. It’s fine.” Thus, Robin couldn’t do anything else butnod.
Sophia then left and hailed a taxi, but her head felt heavy throughout the ride. Even when she arrivedhome, she had no idea how she made it into the house. Anyhow, the moment she caught sight of thesofa, she staggered over and lay down. Then, she slumbered until someone tried waking her. Whileshe was feeling woozy, she felt someone helping her up before touching her forehead. Disgruntled, shereached out and slapped the hand away. “Go away.”
After a moment’s contemplation, John scooped Sophia up and went upstairs with her in his arms in afew strides. Her temperature feels normal to me. He then placed her on the bed. “What’s wrong? Areyou not feeling well?” However, she merely turned over without responding at all. Subsequently, he satdown beside her. It truly seems as though something’s wrong with her. She didn’t even notice it when Ientered the house, nor did she respond even after I’d called her name several times. After sitting for awhile, he glanced at the time and went downstairs again.
Meanwhile, Sophia had a truly good sleep. When she next woke up, it was already afternoon. My mindfeels much clearer now. She got up and stretched before going downstairs, only to be greeted by thesight of John standing downstairs with another man. Shocked, she demanded, “Why are you hereagain, John?”
John merely turned and glanced at her. Then, he said to the person in front of him, “Thank you.” Theperson then waved at him and left with a box in his hand. At long last, John pivoted and hurried over toher. Staring at her, he suggested, “Go back up. I’ve boiled some soup, so I’ll bring you a bowl later.”
At this, Sophia frowned. “What are you doing? And who was that man earlier?”
John looked at her thoughtfully. “That was a doctor friend of mine. I asked him to come and check youover. You must have been deeply asleep just now since you didn’t sense anything at all.” novelbin
Sophia had indeed slept like a log earlier, for she had absolutely no idea that someone entered herhouse.
Climbing a few steps further, John wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her back to her room.“You were near comatose in your sleep just now, so I asked someone to come and check you over.Fortunately, nothing’s wrong with you.”
