Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 623

Burke International had always been the major investor in the downtown hospital, ensuring not just top-notch medical equipment but also a plentiful supply of Type A blood to guarantee the safety of Sophie's unborn child. It was unthinkable that anything could go wrong.

Nichole... It was Nichole.

James felt as though an invisible hand had yanked him back from the brink of a nightmare. He woke with a start in the hospital bed, his eyes gradually darkening with a cold, ominous light.

"Mr. Burke, you should rest. I've found out that Colby and Adler are over in Duskhaven and are on it. Ms. Sophie will be safe," Colt's voice rang out beside him.

The smell of the hospital's disinfectant seemed to remind him of Sophie, bleeding out on the operating table, dead.

He finally understood why Sophie was so afraid of him, and why there was resentment and disgust for him in her eyes.

His past self had caused all of it.

He had orchestrated it all.

"Mr. Burke? Are you alright? Please, don't scare me..."

Colt was frightened by James' reaction and was about to call for a doctor when James put on a strange expression and asked, "Who is Sophie?"

Colt stood frozen in place upon hearing James' question. "Mr. Burke? You... don't remember Ms. Sophie?"

James got up, his demeanor back to normal, and casually asked, "How's everything going at Eastwood College? Have Nichole’s exam results come out yet?"

"Mr. Burke..." Colt, taken aback, responded, "Mr. Burke, Ms. Nichole graduated a long time ago, and she's now the daughter of the Freeman family. Ms. Sophie is your wife... don't you remember?"

"What are you talking about? I remember there's a meeting tomorrow, but I promised to celebrate Nichole's academic advancement. Cancel the meeting."
