Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

The hospital director wiped the sweat from his forehead, terrified that Odie might take out his anger on him. Over half of the Central City Hospital's funding came from Minton International, and with just one word from Odie, his job could be on the line.

Inside the hospital room, Sophie slowly

forehead was bandaged. Suddenly, Odie i

m her coma. She was propped up in bed, covered in bruises and cuts, even her ugh the door, startling the nurse. "The patient is resting. You can't just-*

"Out!" Odie roared, and the hospital director quickly gestured for the nurse to leave, Recognizing the powerful man, the nurse turned pale and hurried out.

"Mr. Odie, I'm still lying here. Can't you let me have a moment of peace?" Sophie's voice was weak and tinged with impatience.

Odie frowned. "I need an explanation for what happened today."

"Explanation? What explanation? I'm lying here injured. If you want answers, ask Miss Leticia Gibbs!" Sophie shot back.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

At the mention of Leticia, Odie's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying Leticia did this?"

"Leticia had someone ram our car and then doused it with gasoline. If another car hadn't passed by, I wouldn't have escaped. I might have ended up like Wayne, killed by Leticia," Sophie said, her voice shaking. Leticia's method of staging an accident was too precise, too practiced.

This wasn't Leticia's first time. The Gibbs family was definitely not just a regular business family.

As Sophie waited for Odie's response, he suddenly grabbed her arm. Instinctively, she tried to pull away, but Odie's grip was strong. He examined her arm, then flipped back the covers. Sophie instinctively slapped him. "What are you doing!"

The room fell silent for a moment. Odie touched his reddened cheek, and Sophie realized she'd acted rashly. "It's not my fault. You started touching me and flipping my covers without a word. What are you trying to do?"

Odie coldly replied, "If it weren't for your injuries, I would have hit back."

"Mr. Odie, this was an unprovoked disaster. If it weren't for your argument with Leticia tonight, I wouldn't have been in a car accident, and Wayne wouldn't have been involved."

"So now you're blaming me?" Odie retorted.

"Shouldn't I?" Sophie shot back.

Odie was taken aback. He covered Sophie with the blanket again. "Your injuries are superficial, nothing serious. I'll have Jonah take you home shortly."

"I don't want him taking me home. For all I know, he could be in league with Leticia, betraying my whereabouts," Sophie said, emphasizing that Leticia must have had a spy close to Odie to stage such a precise ambush.

Odie replied indifferently, "Anyone might betray me, but not Jonah. If I tell him not to harm you, he won't lay a finger on you."

"Enough, you're not safe in the hospital. There's no room for m discussion Qdie interrupted, not giving Sophie a chance to argue, and turned to leave.

Sophie watched Odie's retreating back, her brows furrowing slightly.
