Sophie struggled to pull the phone out of James' pocket, barely maintaining consciousness as she dialed 911. Moments later, she passed out.
The next day, Sophie slowly opened her eyes to find Colt bustling around her. Her voice was hoarse and weak, "Where's James?"
At the sound of Sophie’s voice, a trace of joy crossed Colt's face as he quickly responded, “Ma’am, are you asking for some water?”
Sophie shook her head, "Where is James?"
"Mr. Burke..." Colt looked troubled, "Mr. Burke is seriously injured and currently in the ICU."
Hearing this, Sophie struggled to sit up, but Colt quickly pressed down on her arm, "Ma’am! The doctor said you also have serious injuries. You can’t get up right now."
Sophie lacked the strength to speak. James had been injured trying to save her. She couldn’t rest easy without seeing James with her own eyes.
“Ma’am.”
As Colt tried to stop her, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door.
"Where is Sophie? How is she?!"
Sophie recognized Perry's voice. Colt stepped out to check and indeed, it was Perry and Jessica arriving. Jessica looked around, seemingly searching for Sophie.
"Yeah, how is Sophie?"
Jessica was anxious. Sophie, watching from inside through the window, knew exactly what was on her mind.
Jessica wondered if Sophie had died. Sophie thought back to how the brakes had suddenly failed, a shadow crossing her eyes.
The car had been fine when it arrived at the Russell estate.
Colt spoke from outside the room, "I’m sorry, she is currently resting."
"Let them in," Sophie said calmly, noticing a flicker of disappointment in Jessica’s eyes outside the room.
Sophie was alive, much to Jessica’s dismay.
Perry hurried in, taking in Sophie’s bruised body and bandaged forehead. "What exactly happened? How did you end up like this?"
