Sophie bit her lip, tightening her clothes around her as she said, "I... I can't."
Odie scoffed, "What? Can't move after a little scuffle?"
Sophie glared at Odie, her voice filled with a hint of anger. "My shoulder is dislocated!"
At that, Odie paused.
He stepped forward and lifted the coat off Sophie's body. Sophie quickly covered her chest with one arm, "What are you doing!"
"Stay still." Odie frowned, his tone growing stern.
Sophie obediently sat down, and Odie lifted her right arm, indeed finding Sophie's right shoulder dislocated.
Without looking up, he asked, "How did it happen?"
"Who else but Gattlin, your right-hand man?" Sophie's voice dripped with sarcasm. "He's held a grudge since I reported him to you. He deliberately dislocated my shoulder and even tried to force himself on Polly, threatening to throw her into the sea if she didn't comply! When I stood up for Polly, he turned his attention to me. Tsk, I must say, Mr. Odie, you have a unique way of choosing your associates. They perfectly match your own style."
Hearing Sophie's direct mockery, Odie coldly glanced at her. "I think it's fine to leave your arm dislocated. No need for treatment."
As Odie turned to leave, Sophie quickly reached out with her left hand to stop him, "Odie! This is all due to your lack of control, and yet you want to punish me?"
"You have a clever tongue, which also doesn't help my temper. What should I do about that?"
Sophie realized Odie was angry and bit her lip on purpose, "Alright, I take back what I said just now. Please, call a doctor to fix my shoulder! If we wait too long, it might not be possible to fix it!"
For the first time, Odie saw a look of panic in Sophie's eyes. He raised an eyebrow and turned back to her. "You are not afraid of death but afraid of losing an arm?"
