Chapter 522 Hitting Vanessa Back With

Phoebe didn't waste any time getting ready. She quickly dried her hair and threw on some fresh clothes. As she walked past the vanity, she noticed she looked a bit too pale. After a quick think, Phoebe decided to slap on some lipstick to give herself a bit more color and look more alive.

When Phoebe stepped out of the walk-in closet, Theodore was already hanging out by the bedroom door. She grabbed her phone and followed him out in a hurry.

Once they were in the car, Phoebe asked, "Should we swing by the flower shop to grab some flowers?"

Theodore shook his head. "Sophia's in the middle of being resuscitated. She won't care if we don't bring a gift. It's cool."

"Oh."

Theodore drove out of the underground garage. "If you're tired, you can catch some Z's. It might be tough to sleep once we hit the hospital."

"I'm not sleepy," Phoebe replied.

The car zoomed along. Half an hour later, they pulled into the parking lot of Horizon Wellness Hospital. The night was windy and cold, and Phoebe and Theodore shivered as soon as they stepped out of the car. Theodore grabbed Phoebe's wrist, and they quickly dashed through the parking lot into the inpatient building.

Since Sophia got hospitalized, this was Phoebe's first visit. She was in the cardiology ward, and when they arrived, Vanessa was standing outside the room.

Vanessa heard footsteps and knew Theodore had arrived. She was about to cry but froze when she saw Phoebe with him.

Vanessa thought, 'Why did Phoebe tag along?'

Phoebe greeted her confidently, "Miss Fitzroy, how's Sophia doing now?"

Vanessa bit her lip and looked pitifully at Theodore, her eyes filled with lingering sorrow. "Theodore, the doctors are still trying to save her. I'm so scared."
