Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 324

The warm, thick blood, the cold scalpel, and the smell of disinfectants—she felt as if she had once again brushed shoulders with death.

"Having a nightmare?" Beside her was Colby's deep voice.

Only then did Sophie realize she had been leaning on Colby's shoulder. "I fell asleep," Sophie said, her eyes filled with exhaustion.

"The surgery isn't over yet," Colby said calmly. "I'll take you home. I have people here watching over things."

Sophie shook her head. "I'm worried about Uncle Perry. He's the only family I have left in this world."

Colby tapped Sophie's forehead lightly. Rubbing the spot, she asked, "What’s that for?"

"Go back and rest. I'll bring you back here early in the morning."

"But—"

"You being here won't change anything. Mr. Perry will need rest after the surgery anyway."

"But—"

"No arguing with me."

Colby's tone was firm, and Sophie knew that he was already being gentle with her.

"Okay, let's go back."

Sophie followed Colby to the car, but they didn't head toward the Russell residence. They were on the way to the Costello residence instead. Sophie said, "I can go back to my place."

"My house is closer to the hospital. It'll be more convenient to head back in the morning." Colby gave Sophie a casual excuse.
