Upon hearing this, Sophie finally felt a wave of relief wash over her.

"The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for observation. For the next few days, you'll be here, and I'll take care of you," she said, her voice softening.

She paused for a moment and then added with a hint of a smile, "Actually, it's not just me. We've got some extra help lined up."

"Oh?" Colby raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Before Sophie could explain further, there was a knock on the door. A group of nervous-looking male orderlies shuffled in, clearly intimidated by Colby's presence. They stood there, barely daring to breathe.

"Colby, we're the hospital orderlies, assigned to take care of your daily needs during your stay," one of them stammered out. "Orderlies, huh?" Sophie raised an eyebrow skeptically. "You guys look awfully familiar. Haven't we met somewhere before?"

"Ms. Sophie, you must be mistaken! We're just regular hospital orderlies!" they insisted in unison, their voices shaky.

Sophie walked up to them, her gaze piercing. "You guys have been hanging around Odie a lot. Did you really think I wouldn't recognize you?"

The men exchanged nervous glances before one of them pleaded, "Ms. Sophie, we're just following orders. If we don't do our job, we'll get punished! Please, have mercy on us and don't expose us!"
