The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 1752

Chapter 1752 Aurora's Illness

Cindy was still shy, and she kept covering herself up so he wouldn't see her naked. However, she did not understand that covering up was useless when they had gotten to that point. Ian leaned against the door and crossed his arms, his lips curling into a smile. Love was a magical thing. Even though they were doing and saying nothing, and even though Cindy didn't know he was there, he still felt happy just seeing her.

The delivery came a while later. Ian took it and placed it on the table. After he set the table, he went to wake Cindy up. He sat down beside her, turned her around, and kissed her cheeks loudly. "Lunchtime. You can sleep after you eat."

Cindy grunted and hugged lan all of a sudden. "I don't feel good."

Shocked, lan asked, "What happened?"

Cindy answered weakly, "It still hurts a little."

It still hurts? What does she... Oh, I get it. He heaved a sigh and huddled closer to her. "I'll go softer next time," he whispered.

Cindy closed her eyes and pinched lan's waist. "You dirty pervert."

lan chuckled quietly. "But you might not like it if I go soft."

"Oh, get off you. Shoo. Right away." Cindy was getting embarrassed about the dirty jokes. She pushed him away and sat up.

lan lay down on the bed. "Don't be shy. It's too late for that at this point."

Cindy didn't want to listen to him. She got out of bed and quickly went to the restroom to look in the mirror. Alright. I don't think the hickeys are too obvious. Then, she went to Aurora's room and knocked on the door. "The food's here, Aurora."

Cindy called out to her again before Aurora answered, but she sounded weak. "I don't have any appetite. You guys go ahead without me, alright?"

A frown appeared on Cindy's face. "Aurora, you sound unwell.”

Aurora did feel unwell. Her head felt light, and everything was spinning. She had fallen asleep earlier, but it was a fitful sleep filled with dreams. Her past came back to haunt her in those dreams, and she felt restless because of them. Even after she woke up, she still felt dizzy, and the past was still vivid in her mind. Aurora rolled over and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. "I feel fine. You guys just go ahead without me. I'll get some sleep. Don't worry, I'll eat once I wake up."

lan came out from his bedroom and stood behind Cindy. "What is it? Is my mom still sleeping?"

Cindy turned back and shook her head. "Aurora doesn't sound too good."

lan quickly knocked on the door, and it was loud. "Mom, come out if you're awake. You can go back to sleep after you eat." No response? Aurora's silence worried him, and he knocked on the door loudly again "I'm coming in, mom." When Aurora said nothing again, lan twisted the doorknob. Luckily, it was not locked, and he opened it with ease.

Aurora was lying on the bed. The curtains were drawn and the room was dark, but they could still see her curling up in her blanket.

Cindy went over first. She stood beside the bed and stared at Aurora for a moment before putting her hand on Aurora's forehead, but what she felt shocked her. "She's really hot. It's a fever."

lan went to check on his mother too, then he pulled the blanket away and propped her up. "Get up, mom. We're taking you to the hospital."

Aurora turned around and squinted to have a better look, then she waved him off. "I'm fine. It's probably because I covered myself up with too many blankets." She turned around in an attempt to go back to sleep, but lan pulled her back. "That is one lousy excuse. You're practically burning up! Mom, you're sweating all over!"
