Watching the jade token in Colby's hand, Sophie finally faced reality.
Everything that happened today was still vivid in her mind; she had only slept, but upon waking, she had to confront the fact that Jonah was gone.
"It's my fault. If he hadn't gone in with me, he wouldn't have experienced this. Maybe he would still be alive."
"Everyone has their own choices. It's nobody's fault. If we must blame someone, it would be The Silent Shadows."
Colby gently touched Sophie's cheek, saying, "This time, you really scared me, you know?"
"I just had this feeling, this belief that you were right by my side, not far from me."
Sophie leaned into Colby's embrace and said earnestly, "The Silent Shadows, those who hurt Odie and killed Jonah, I will make them pay with their lives."
"Alright."
Colby said, "No matter what happens, we will always be together."
Sophie closed her eyes, utterly exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep in Colby's arms.
A night of peaceful rest.
The next day, when Sophie opened her eyes, it was already noon. Due to her injuries, she was less mobile.
Everyone was outside Sophie's bedroom, while William was inside, carefully examining Sophie's wounds.
"Hmm, it's not a big issue, just needs a change of dressing."
William packed up his medical kit and called out to the people at the door, "You all can come in now!"
Outside, Jenna and others entered.
Sophie adjusted her clothes and said, propped up in bed, "Thank you all for coming over specially."

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.
