Female Novel
Chapter 764
Sophia nodded. “Madam Flintstone is upstairs. He hit her at the small of her back.” Then, she pointedat the item lying on the coffee table. “This was the weapon.”
John went over, picked up the brick and took a close look at it, noting how well-prepared it was.Sneering, he then patted Sophia’s head before turning around and going upstairs.
Sophia followed him into Matilda’s room. The door was not closed, and Matilda was lying on the bed.Her clothes were lifted up, exposing her back with a small bruise on it which was bleeding slightly.
John stared at the injured area for a moment before saying, “My men are chasing the guy, so restassured that he will not escape.”
Matilda replied, “It’s fine as long as Sophia isn’t hurt. That guy is too audacious to have done that.”
John went over to sit on the side of the bed. Watching Ms. Cannon placing an ice pack on Matilda’swound, he said, “It was my mistake. I should have expected it, but I didn’t.”
No one could have expected this to happen, so the truth was that John could not be blamed at all.
Matilda smiled. “It’s okay. We’re considered very lucky that nothing terrible has happened.”
John nodded without a word.
Then, Sophia looked at John sitting next to her. He had probably never encountered such a situationbefore, so he didn’t know how to comfort Matilda. Except for being shameless in front of me, he’s stillthe same as before.
Sophia told Matilda to get some rest, then she asked John, “Does your father know that you came backhere?”
Looking up at Sophia, John answered, “I saw him near the elevator, so I told him briefly about it. I’m notsure if he’ll come over later though.”
Matilda said forlornly, “You two don’t need to help me so much. I know how to handle my ownproblems.”
Sophia stood by the bed. “We’re not trying to assist you in anything. It’s just that you got hurt, so it’sonly right that he comes and visits you.”
After staying here for a while, John’s phone rang. Glancing at it briefly, he went out to answer the call.
Sophia thought that it was probably his subordinate who had called. So, she sat down where John hadbeen sitting and checked Matilda’s injury. It wasn’t too severe; Sophia had suffered quite a few of suchinjuries when she was younger. novelbin
After all, she had lived with a rural family whose life was rougher. It was natural to get into minoraccidents and suffer small injuries like this one.
However, since Matilda and the others were from the upper echelons, they rarely got injured, so justabout any injury was upsetting enough to them.
Lying on her stomach, Matilda said quietly, “You need to be careful. These people are really sick in thehead. We really should teach every one of them a hard lesson.”
William came by after work. He reached the house about the same time as Fabian. Looking a littleanxious, he strode into the living room.
John was on the phone in the living room. Seeing his father here, he hung up the phone.
On the other hand, Fabian had a rather leisurely attitude as he jokingly commented, “Where’s Sophia?I’m already here, so why didn’t she come to greet me at the door?”
He still had no idea about what happened earlier, so there was a silly smile on his face.
John stood up and faced the two of them. “Sophia and my mother are both upstairs.”
Hearing this, William hurriedly rushed upstairs.
Surprised, Fabian looked at John. “What’s the matter? Mr. Constance is looking rather anxious.”
John sighed and briefly told him about what had happened in the afternoon.
The smile on Fabian’s face faded. Frowning, he said, “Are you serious? Did you manage to catch theguy?”
John nodded. “Yes. I have him locked up right now. I’ll go take a look after dinner later.”
