Odie chimed in, “She’s burning up with a fever. Can you get one of your doctors to check her out and maybe give her something to bring it down?”
“A fever?” Rick raised an eyebrow, reaching to feel Sophie’s forehead. “Wow, she’s really hot. I’ll call William over to give her something.”
“No need for all that; I’ll be fine after a nap,” Sophie insisted.
Hearing this, Odie frowned, “So, without Colby around, you’re acting up, huh?”
“I’m not…”
“Then call Colby, let him handle it.”
With that, Odie started pulling out his phone.
Sophie quickly stopped him, saying, “No! I’ll take the medicine.”
Odie glanced at Sophie’s hand, which halted his call. Clearly, Colby was the only one who could keep Sophie in check.
“Alright then, back to your room for the meds.”
With a no-nonsense look, Odie headed downstairs. Sophie, keen to explore the third-floor attic soon, decided to cooperate and followed Odie back to her room.
Meanwhile, William, looking a bit on edge, slipped out of Gordon’s room and peeked at Rick, asking, “Did she see me?”
Rick, staying poker-faced, nudged William back in, “Get the fever reducer ready. Make sure she gets some extra rest.”
“Don’t worry! I know my way around a fever reducer!” William assured, brimming with confidence.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
