**Chapter 32**

For the next five minutes, he bombarded her with a flurry of questions, each one aimed at gauging her feelings and state of mind. His eyes roamed over her, assessing her condition with a practiced gaze. He gently examined her head, performed a few routine checks, and finally nodded with a satisfied smile. “All right, Sophie. I believe you are free to go. Just make sure to take your time easing back into things,” he advised, his tone both professional and warm. “I want you to check in with your primary doctor in three days. If you experience any neck pain, tingling, numbness, or vomiting, please come right back to the hospital.”

Sophie nodded, relief flooding through her. The doctor stood, straightening his coat with a slight rustle before announcing, “I’ll have the nurse start the discharge process.”

“Thank you,” Sophie replied, her voice a mixture of gratitude and lingering anxiety.

With a nod, he exited the room, leaving her alone for a moment. A deep sigh escaped her lips; she was finally free to leave this sterile environment.

Madison approached her with a bright smile. “That’s fantastic! You can finally get out of here,” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious.

Sophie glanced down at the hospital gown that felt more like a prison than a garment. “Do you think I could take a shower?” she asked, her brow furrowing slightly in uncertainty.

“I don’t see why not. Let me just check with the nurse,” Madison replied, her voice laced with reassurance.

“I’ll handle it,” Kyle interjected, already striding out of the room with purpose.

Sophie perched on the edge of the bed, her heart racing with anticipation. She didn’t have to wait long; Kyle returned almost immediately, a triumphant grin on his face. “Nurse said it’s all clear,” he announced.

With a deep breath, Sophie pushed herself up, momentarily swaying as she steadied herself. “Do you need help?” Madison asked, concern etched on her features.

Sophie shook her head, a hint of determination in her eyes. “No, I’m okay,” she assured them. “Everything you need is already in the shower. I brought some of my clothes for you to wear for now. I figured we were about the same size. I hope that’s alright,” Madison added, a note of uncertainty creeping into her voice.

“That’s perfect. Thank you so much,” Sophie replied, her heart swelling with appreciation. She made her way to the bathroom, feeling a flicker of excitement at the prospect of washing away the remnants of her hospital stay.

Once inside, she found everything she needed, thanks to Madison’s thoughtful gesture. The hot water cascaded over her, and as she scrubbed away the grime of the past few days, she began to feel more like herself. Even though it was just a simple outfit of leggings and a sweatshirt, it felt luxurious compared to the hospital gown. She quickly braided her hair, feeling a sense of normalcy return.

Stepping out of the bathroom, she was greeted by the arrival of a nurse, who was there to assist with her discharge. A few moments later, she found herself being wheeled through the hospital corridors in a wheelchair, Kyle at her side. “I still don’t understand why I have to be in a wheelchair,” Sophie mumbled, her frustration evident.

“It’s hospital rules,” the nurse replied, overhearing her grumbling.

As they rolled outside, a chill swept over her, and she shivered involuntarily. Kyle halted the wheelchair and helped her to her feet. He guided her toward the waiting vehicle, a sleek black Land Rover where Levi was stationed behind the wheel. He assisted her into the backseat, and Madison slid in beside her. Kyle took his place in the front passenger seat, his demeanor calm yet watchful.

Levi turned to look back at her, concern etched across his features. “How are you holding up, Sophie?” he inquired gently.

“I’m fine,” she replied, trying to sound more confident than she felt. “Thank you, both of you, for saving me from those men. I really appreciate it,” she said sincerely, her heart full of gratitude. Both men nodded in acknowledgment, and Levi shifted the car into gear, pulling away from the hospital.

“You’re taking me to Sip and Drip, right?” she asked eagerly, leaning forward in her seat.
