The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 872

John soon wound down the window and stuck his head out to investigate his surroundings. At the same time,

several frustrated drivers directly got out of their cars and stepped forward to find out more about the crash. When

they passed by John’s car, he could notice the helpless look on their faces and their irritated sighs.

John was not a busybody himself, but it seemed that Sophia had rubbed off on him; after all, this time they often

hung around each other. Therefore, he opened the car door and stepped out of his car. After locating the crash,

what came into John’s sight was a victim in a school uniform lying down in a pool of blood. While the traffic was

heavily congested, the ambulance needed some time before arriving.

Meanwhile, John remained still, noticing a car right beside the victim as a man, who seemed to be the driver, was

standing next to the vehicle in bafflement. He was seen instinctively explaining to the bystanders that he was

driving normally when the boy suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. Then, he pointed at the surveillance

camera and vouched for his innocence. “You could take a look at the surveillance footage, and you’ll know that I

didn’t cause this.” Nevertheless, no one seemed to be interested in hearing his defense as they were all desperate

for the victim to be taken to the hospital.

At that moment, John stared at the boy lying motionlessly on the ground, so he wasn’t able to see how injured the

victim was. A few moments later, the traffic began to clear shortly before the ambulance arrived on the scene.

Then, the paramedic team quickly approached the victim to examine his injury.

As the victim was placed on the stretcher and carried away, John managed to catch a glimpse of the boy’s face.

Although there were initially bloodstains on it, they were all wiped off by the paramedic team members. In that

instant, John frowned, finding that face familiar as if he had seen that boy somewhere else. As soon as they entered

the ambulance, the paramedic team quickly set off for the hospital, escorted by the traffic police ahead of them.

Like many other bystanders, John headed back to his car and drove off. The moment he opened the car door and

got in, the face that he had just seen earlier rang a bell. Wait a minute! That boy is Isabelle’s brother, Dexter! I first

saw him back when Isabelle and I were getting engaged. At that time, he looked very much younger.

At that moment, John paused for a short while before he closed the car door, driving off as soon as the traffic

ahead cleared. When he drove past the crash scene, John took a quick glimpse at the traffic police officers taking a

statement from the driver before he moved on.

Soon, John arrived at the rendezvous and began the discussion with his client. However, it didn’t take long for both

parties to come to an agreement, thanks to the client’s easy-going attitude. Then, John gave an excuse that he had

to leave for something urgent and moved along. Upon hesitating briefly outside the café, he decided to call Isabelle

and told her what he saw. Meanwhile, Isabelle, who had no idea what she was going to hear next, felt surprised to

receive John’s call. “John, what’s up? Is there anything you want to tell me?”

John clicked his tongue and answered her question, “I saw a car crash at the junction just now, so you might want to

give Dexter a call and see where he is now.”

As soon as John said that, Isabelle quickly caught on to what he was trying to say, so she instinctively argued back in

denial. “Nah, that’s definitely not Dexter. He is in school right now.”

At the same time, John wasn’t quite sure about what he saw since he hadn’t seen Dexter in a while. Well, I only just

caught a glimpse of the boy’s face. Maybe that wasn’t Dexter but his doppelganger. Then, he responded with an

affirmative hum and said, “Okay, good then.” Without anything much to say, John proceeded to hang up the call.
