The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 2014

Chapter 2014 Good Girl

Cindy was putting herself in lan's shoes. She could tell that it was already hard for lan to be so nice to Gary. While they were on the way to the hospital, Cindy was mentally preparing herself to bring up the topic. However, she couldn't seem to find the right time to talk about it. Everything that she wanted to say had been mentioned in her text, and she didn't want to repeat the contents of her message. But at the same time, she couldn't seem to find a new way to explain herself. So, she was caught in a rather awkward position where she felt like she couldn't do much.

When the car stopped in the parking lot of the hospital, Cindy unbuckled her seat belt to get out of the car. Gary didn't seem like he had any intention to leave his car. "Do you have anything to say to me?" He turned to look at Cindy. She froze for a moment before she looked up to meet his gaze. He was looking at her with a sincere expression-she had never seen him looking at her that way in the past. For some reason, she felt herself panicking a little.

"What do you want me to say, Mr. Frye?" she asked.

He chuckled before looking away and tapping his fingers on his steering wheel. "Forget it. It's nothing. You should go."

Cindy herself felt like she had something to tell Gary too, but at that moment, she couldn't seem to find the words. So, after hesitating for a while, she ended up stepping out of the car. After waving at him and reminding him to drive safe, she strode toward the inpatient wards. Ian had been waiting for Cindy to come over. He had already prepared dinner in his room, but he hadn't started eating yet.

Aurora wasn't in the hospital as she already headed home a while earlier, and lan's driver was sitting on the empty bed beside him. When Cindy let herself into the room, she immediately noticed that lan looked like he was waiting for someone. "Who are you waiting for?" She hadn't told lan that she was going to visit him in the evening.

lan's driver immediately jumped off the bed when Cindy walked in. "Okay! She's here. You guys can eat now. I'll leave you guys alone."

Cindy turned to look at the driver. "We can eat together. Where are you going?"

The driver sauntered toward the door. "I'm not interested in having a meal with you lovebirds. I'd rather eat on my own." Upon hearing that, she looked away and smiled before placing her bag on lan's bed and washing her hands.

lan didn't injure his limbs, so he could still get out of bed to walk around. Instead of eating on the bed, he led Cindy to the couch by the side, where the dishes had been set up on the coffee table. Cindy raised her cutleries to scoop up some vegetables. "By the way, Mr. Frye was the one who sent me here."

lan's movements came to a halt. "Did you bump into him on the way here?" Cindy shook her head before giving him an honest answer. "No. He came to my company. But we didn't talk much-he simply sent me over and left after I got out of the car."

"Why are you telling me all these details? Are you afraid that I might get angry?" lan asked. She thought about his question for a while. "I just wanted to tell you the truth so that there won't be any misunderstandings between us."

lan reached over to pinch Cindy's cheek. "That's a good girl." Since Cindy was being so transparent about her actions, lan didn't hold anything against her. "Okay, I got it. I know there's nothing going on between you guys." He scooped some more food onto her plate. "I've booked the flight tickets. You can start packing, and we'll leave next week."

Cindy was stunned. "Are you even fit to travel?"

He felt the bump on the back of his head. "The doctor said that he'll monitor my condition for another two days and that I'll just have to be a little more cautious after he decides that I'm fine. There shouldn't be much of a problem."

Furthermore, Logan was in charge of organizing the engagement party, so lan didn't need to worry much about that. Cindy nodded. "You know yourself best. Your health should be your priority, okay?"

They didn't say much after that and simply ate dinner in silence. Ian's driver didn't come back even after lan and Cindy had finished their meal. After that, Cindy stayed in the room to accompany him.
