Chapter 647

For the next couple of weeks, she was in and out of consciousness, more often out cold than awake. She was hospitalized for months and only recently got discharged. When she was in the ICU, the blood clot in her brain wouldn't dissolve, seriously threatening her life. She was facing the tough call of undergoing brain surgery-everything was set, the hospital and doctor were on standby, as if her ship had already docked at the port. Luckily, she pulled through on her own, dodging that bullet, but that stubborn clot might be the main culprit behind her amnesia.

Attached are all her medical records and test results since she was admitted.

The subsequent rescue notes kept mentioning severe lung infections and respiratory failure, along with blood test results that were off the charts.

She had battled her way through hell and back, powered by sheer willpower, to return to safety.

In the photos Harvey Ferber had sent, Sophia was sprawled out in the ICU, tubes all over, her brows furrowed in pain, conscious enough to feel it all.

She had endured the agony of the ICU alone and awake.

Brandon was grateful to Harvey Ferber for saving Sophia, but also resented him.
