Sophie watched James hold the car keys and didn't say a word before taking them. She then turned to Marian and said, "Marian, take care of him. I'll go get the car."
"Yes, ma'am."
Marian carefully supported James, and seeing this, Bea immediately grabbed Sophie. "Sophie! You stop right there! What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm taking your grandson to the hospital!"
Sophie shrugged off Bea, but Bea advanced again, clinging to Sophie. "You think you can save James? I think you just want to hurt him! James isn't going anywhere. We'll wait for the doctor to save him here!"
Bea clearly hadn't forgotten the grudge from when Sophie reminded Calla to sign the document.
"Let go!"
Sophie forcefully shook off Bea, who stepped back angrily and said, "Sophie! This is my home..."
"Don't forget, I am still the lady of the Burke family! This is my home, too. If you don't want your grandson's arm to be useless, you'd better not stop me! Or you'll face consequences you can't bear!"
"You!"
"Marian! You don't need to support him anymore! Take Bea back to rest!"
Sophie's authority momentarily silenced Bea.
Sophie used to be a meek girl. Bea did not know when she had become so articulate and imposing.
After Marian took Bea away, Sophie glanced at James. "I'm going to get the car. You make your way over."
James responded softly, "Okay."
Sophie went to the garage and drove the car out. James' arm bandage was already soaked with blood. Sophie got out to open the car door for James. She noticed he didn't get in right away and said, "Sit in the back. It'll be easier without having to deal with the seatbelt."
"…Okay." James responded faintly. The pain in his arm was not as intense as the agony in his heart.

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....
