Next One Is a Babe

His movements were so swift that it even shocked her, and she giggled. “Your reaction is lightning quick!”

“Yeah,” John murmured and cast her a concerned look. “Are you going to the bathroom?”

Sophia nodded. “I would like to wash my face.”

In the end, he helped her all the way to the bathroom and left the bathroom door open so he could watch over her.

After washing her face, Sophia was startled when she turned and saw him staring fixedly at her, unblinking. “What’s wrong?”

Pursing his lips, it took him a while before he answered, “Nothing.”

Then, he helped her out of the bathroom all the way until she returned to the bed and asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat.”

Sophia nodded and thanked him, but he went downstairs straightaway without another word.

As she stared at him leaving, she frowned. There’s something off about him. In the past, if she had thanked him, he would have replied, telling her no thanks. However, it was as though he hadn’t heard anything earlier.

Logan and the rest had already left a long time ago, and John prepared some food for her downstairs. When he went upstairs again, he placed the food on the bedside table and took a seat at the side silently.

With her head lowered, Sophia took a couple of bites from the food as she looked at him from the corner of her eye, unable to fathom what was going on. While she was eating, he watched her intently with a solemn look on his face and appeared incredibly weird.

Did Matilda tell him something? she pondered suddenly.

After she finished her meal under an oppressive atmosphere, he came over and took the dishes downstairs. “Would you like to go out for a walk? Let’s take a walk around the area,” he suggested afterward. “You’ve slept for a long time, so it’s about time to get up and flex your body a little.”

Sophia gazed outside and saw that the sky was already dark, but after some contemplation, her body did feel sore after laying down for a long time.

Hence, she nodded, thinking that it wouldn’t be an issue if it was just around the area. John then went over to help her downstairs, and they took a walk back and forth on the lane next to the house.

The air around them was incredibly odd as John was quiet the whole while. Finally, Sophia couldn’t take it anymore and broke the silence first. “John, I can stay by myself at night, actually. I’ll just keep the doors and windows properly locked, so you don’t have to...”
