Chapter 1375

Meanwhile, over at the Burke Estate, things were getting a bit intense.

Colby was carefully tending to Sophie's wounds. She watched him fussing over her, handling her with the gentleness of someone terrified of causing more pain, and couldn't help but tease, "You being so cautious is actually making it hurt more, you know?"

Sophie chuckled softly and said, "Maybe I should just do it myself."

As she reached for the gauze, Colby gently caught her hand. "You don't have much time left to heal," he said quietly.

Sophie knew exactly what he was hinting at and nodded, "I know."
