With sgood rest and recovery, he'll be back to normal." Sophie exhaled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders.
Just then, Odie and Jonah were wheeled out of the operating room, both out cold.

Meanwhile, Adler was in his car outside the hospital when his phone rang. His face darkened almost instantly.
"Colby! Sophie! We've got a problem!" "Sir, please keep your voice down in the hospital!" A nurse tried to stop Adler, but he quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, it's an emergency!" He rushed over to Sophie and Colby, blurting out, "Burke International is in trouble!" Sophie frowned, "What happened? Slow down and tell me." "Alright, alright!" Adler took a deep breath, "You know James, right? That jerk! He showed up at Burke International today!" "What?" "And get this, he took back the 45% of shares that were given to you! How the heck did he get his hands on them?" Adler was fuming, hands on his hips.
"Those shares... I always left them with Odie. Today, Odie was supposed to take them to Burke International to take over. How could they end up with James?" "Exactly! How could James get them? I'm baffled too!" Adler added, "Jenna and I were right; there's something fishy about James! That guy must be plotting something against us! He's been the top dog in Devonport for years, and he's got sserious tricks up his sleeve. If he can pull off a shooting, what can't he do?" Sophie's mind raced as she listened to Adler.
Colby cut in, "Don't overthink it. You stay here; I'll go see what's up." "No, you stay here; I'll head to Burke International." Colby hesitated, then nodded.
Sophie continued, "I still have a 10% stake that I haven't handed over to Bea. It's better if I go, just in case things get heated." "I'm going with you." Sophie shook her head, "Odie needs someone watching over him here, and if it's not you, I won't be at ease." Colby pressed his lips together, conceding.

Adler interrupted, "Enough, it doesn't m matter who goes! If we wait any e langer, James will take over for sure!" "I'm going!" Sophie told Adler, "Get the car ready; we're heading to Burke International now!" "Got it!" Sophie and Adler hurried off, leaving the hospital corridor behind.
Colby glanced back at Jonah and Odie in the ward, remembering what Griffin had told him recently. He had always been cold-hearted and emotionally detached, like a stagnant pool of water.
Sophie was the only exception in his life.
He couldn't bear the thought of Sophie being the one lying in that bed instead of Odie. it would've driven him mad.
