Chapter 620


    However, John didn’t think much of her reaction while he said, “Your stomach must be acting up


    because you have been overexerting yourself. I’ll go buy you some medicer on. You’ll feel better


    after taking them.”


    Waving him down, Sophia told him, “You don’t have to. I’m not going to take them.”


    With a sigh, John tried to persuade her otherwise. “That nausea will persist if you don’t take the


    medicine. You have been suffering from it for years, and you know how excruciating it can be, so you


    should take the meds.”


    Without a word, Sophia rinsed her mouth with some water in the kitchen before telling John, “You


    should eat up while I take a short rest.” Her nausea faded as soon as it came, so she was feeling better


    after a few moments, after which she returned to the house. There was no dining room in her house,


    except for a table in the kitchen. She walked up to the table while instructing, “I can’t stand the smell of


    pickled cucumbers, so take them away.”


    With a grunt of assent, John left the pickled cucumbers on the shelf by the door. Sophia felt better after


    taking a deep breath, so she went over to the table to start eating her bowl of noodles. After they were


    both done eating, John washed the dishes before leaving the house once again, as he wasn’t


    ustomed to doing nothing.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    He probably went out to meet the other vigers, Sophia thought. The meal left Sophia feeling drowsy,


    so she took a nap in her room since she could leave everything to John now that he was here with her.


    In the meantime, John was strolling in the vige while examining it. He realized it was an


    underdeveloped area with not even a hundred families, and all the houses looked the same. Now that


    everybody had had their meal, there were some who came out to chat with each other in front of their


    houses. Sure enough, their topics revolved around John and Sophia.


    Due to the fact that they hailed from a poor vige, when they noticed that John was dressed nicely


    and drove a car, they surmised that John was in fact a wealthy man. He even promised to donate some


    money so that the vigers could pave their roads. Therefore, the vigers began eximing, “Sophia


    is in luck to have found herself such a rich husband despite hailing from a vige in the mountains. It


    must be because of her grandfather’s blessings!”


    When John passed them by, they quickly greeted him before asking if he had had his meal. With a


    smile on his face, John approached them. “I already had my meal, sir. By the way, I’d like to pay my


    respects to Sophia’s grandfather. Do you know where he is buried? I don’t want to wake Sophia up as


    she is asleep.”


    The vigers looked at him while replying, “You sure are a nice youngd.”


    Almost all of the vigers knew where Sophia’s grandfather was buried, as she was at a loss as to what


    to do when he passed away. Hence, it was up to them to help her with the proceedings of the funeral;


    even the grave was dug by the men in the vige.


    Therefore, one of the old men told John, “I know where it is, but you’ll have to prepare some offerings if


    you want to pay your respects. It’s impolite to go empty-handed. In the meantime, I will find someone to


    show you the way, as well as keep youpany.”


    Upon hearing what the old man said, John thanked him while retrieving a packet of cigarettes to be


    handed out to everyone. Never had they everid eyes on such quality cigarettes, so they examined it


    curiously.


    The guide that the old man found for John was none other than Buddy, who had an attitude about him


    while in Sophia’s house. However, despite his brash demeanor, he was a kind-hearted man. When


    Sophia’s grandfather passed away, he provided much needed help, going as far as to help dig the


    grave. Buddy took John to where thetter could buy some flowers before both of them went uphill.


    As they were both young, they managed to travel a lot faster. While on their way, John asked about


    Sophia’s life while living with her grandfather in the vige. Buddy heaved a sigh before replying,


    “Sophia led such a harsh life. When she was young, both her parents ran away, which left her alone in


    her grandfather’s care.


    As she came from a poor family, she was forced to help out with chores ever since a young age, so she


    learned early on how to handle all of them. During the harvest seasons, she also had to help with


    harvesting. It was a pity that she had to go through all that during such a young age.”
