Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 23

John knew what the answer was once he noticed Zack looking away. He sneered, but he didn’t expose Zack. A moment later, Sophia got her answer too, so she sighed quietly and looked away.

Feeling awkward, Zack stood up and changed the topic. “Um, I got our dinner, so have it while it’s hot.” He placed the food on her table and opened the lids.

It was bland, to say the least. There wasn’t even any color in the food, just like Sophia’s face. “Hey, what is this? How am I supposed to eat this?” Sophia was irked.

Zack glared at her. “Your stomach needs rest, so light food is all you can eat. Don’t complain and stuff it down. Once you get better, you can eat whatever you want.” Turning around, he then uncovered what he bought for himself and John.

Sophia was vexed now, so she complained, “What’s this? What are you guys eating?”

Zack looked at her innocently. “Seafood and a lot of meat. Why?” Sophia glowered at him, but Zack ignored her and went on with setting up their dinner before inviting John. “Dig in, boss. Our stomachs are healthy, so we can eat whatever we want.”

With gritted teeth, Sophia glared at Zack, while John ignored them. He tucked into his food before telling Zack, “I’ll be going for an appointment tomorrow night. You don’t have to come with me, so stay here.”

Sophia was surprised. “I can be discharged tomorrow,” she said.

John looked at her. “You’d better listen to the doctor’s orders.”


Sophia nodded. “I did ask the doctor, and all I have to do is get some injection, then it’ll heal up if I rest. I don’t have to be hospitalized that long.”

John frowned as per usual. “Zack, verify that with the doctor tomorrow.”

He doesn’t trust me? Sophia put on a long face.

Zack was digging in happily. “Sure. I’ll ask the doctor after this.”

She looked at her porridge and veggies, then she looked at them having seafood and meat. Damn. What’s the use of money if you can’t have good food?

Sophia didn’t feel too happy, so she didn’t eat much. After two bites, she put her spoon down and leaned back on the bed. It was a luxurious ward, but she didn’t feel at home here. John left after finishing his dinner, saying he had business to settle. As for what it was, Sophia didn’t want to know.

After cleaning their stuff away, Zack asked Sophia, “Did the doctor really say you can get discharged?”

Sophia grunted. “Yeah. I just need some injection, and the rest depends on me. I can just heal up at home. No hospitalization needed.”


Sophio wos surprised. “I con be dischorged tomorrow,” she soid.

John looked ot her. “You’d better listen to the doctor’s orders.”

Sophio nodded. “I did osk the doctor, ond oll I hove to do is get some injection, then it’ll heol up if I rest. I don’t hove to be hospitolized thot long.”

John frowned os per usuol. “Zock, verify thot with the doctor tomorrow.”

He doesn’t trust me? Sophio put on o long foce.

Zock wos digging in hoppily. “Sure. I’ll osk the doctor ofter this.”
