Chapter 188: Considering how many times you’ve let her off

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

“It’s okay, but the doctor said he was stimulated,” Rachel’s voice carried through the phone with obvious concern. “Jane was worried that if Sophia didn’t succeed, she would come back, so without asking about your situation in advance, we transferred him to our hospital.”

My eyelids twitched involuntarily. The thought of David being targeted again made my chest tighten with fear

and rage.

“Rachel, thank you so much for today,” I said quietly, my voice thick with emotion.

“You’re welcome, Healer Elena,” Rachel responded immediately.

I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “Rachel, I need you to be careful. Sophia saw you today, which

means she knows you helped David.”

“I understand,” Rachel replied softly.

“She might try to retaliate against you,” I continued, my worry evident. “Please avoid being alone with her or

going to places where she might find you.”

Rachel’s voice was firm despite the circumstances. “Don’t worry about me, Elena. I can take care of myself.”

“I’ll return to Riverside City as soon as possible,” I promised. “Until then, please don’t confront her directly.

She’s more dangerous than she appears.”

“I’ll be careful,” Rachel assured me.

Rachel acknowledged my advice and then mentioned something that made my heart skip. “Hugo Ashworth

and Dr. Edmond Fisher were instrumental in what happened today. The hospital is also investigating the

surveillance footage.”

Her words showed the involvement and support from my colleagues. People I barely knew had risked
