Chapter 1480

In the room, Sophie shrugged off her outer layer, exposing a noticeable wound on her shoulder. William leaned in for a closer look and said, "You've healed up pretty well." "Colby mentioned that too," Sophie replied.

After giving it another glance, William added, "You could probably have surgery this year. Scar treatment is a process, and considering how bad the injury was, it might be tough to make it perfect. You might end up with a faint scar, but it won't be too obvious." "Alright," Sophie nodded.

As William started packing up his medical kit, Sophie casually asked, "Did you make a special trip just for today?"

"No, I actually got here yesterday..." William paused, then quickly corrected himself, "I took the evening flight and stayed at the hotel overnight." "Oh..."

"Why do you ask, Sophie?"

"I noticed you didn't have any luggage, so I figured you hadn't just arrived today."

"...Sophie, you're pretty sharp."

The more William thought about it, the more he suspected Sophie was trying to catch him in a lie.

What's with the folks in Devonport? Why is everyone so sharp?

People who are too clever don't live long; they always meet an early end! William mused to himself.

Hearing Gordon's name made William's heart skip a beat.
