Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1400

He slipped to the ground, the last flicker of life leaving him.

The next morning.

Sophie had been out cold for a whole day after her surgery. When she finally blinked awake, the first thing she saw was Colby, snoozing right beside her.

She tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in her shoulder kept her pinned down. Colby must've sensed she was awake because he opened his eyes almost immediately.

Seeing Sophie awake brought an undeniable joy to Colby's face. "Are you alright? Do you need me to get the doctor?"

Sophie gently shook her head. "I'm okay."

"The anesthesia should have worn off by now. Does it hurt?"

"No, it doesn't."

"I'll grab you some water."

Colby started to get up, but Sophie held his hand. "I'm not thirsty yet."

She just wanted to sit there and chat with him.

"Alright, I'll stay right here with you. I'm not going anywhere."

Colby settled back beside her.

Sophie asked, "How's Mr. Gordon and everyone else? What happened?"

The mention of Gordon made Colby's eyes cloud over for a second.

Sophie didn't catch the change in his expression. Just then, Adler and Jenna burst into the room, tears streaming down their faces.
