Chapter 1399

When Sophie blinked her eyes open again, everything around her was a blur. She could just about make out someone sprinting towards her with determination. "Call an ambulance! Hurry!"

"Separate Gordon and Sophie! Stretcher, now!"

The voices around her started to fade into a distant hum. Cindy's chatter buzzed incessantly in her ears.

Before she knew it, Sophie was wrapped in a warm embrace. The faint scent of tobacco clung to him, and suddenly, Sophie felt a wave of calm wash over her. In a soft voice, she murmured, "Colby... I realized today, it's lucky I'm me. Otherwise, I might never have seen you again."

"Don't talk nonsense," Colby replied, holding her tight. "You're not going anywhere. If you keep talking like that, I swear you won't see me when you wake up." She could feel his heartbeat quickening, his anxiety and fear pouring over her in that moment.

"I don't want... to never see you again," Sophie whispered weakly.

Colby, with urgency, whisked her outside to the Burke Estate and gently laid her onto the stretcher. The evening was drawing close, painting the sky with dusk.
