Colby turned around, his brow slightly furrowed.
Vanessa tried to approach Colby but was stopped by Adler. "Ms. Vanessa, you can’t get out here? Didn't the doctor tell you to stay in bed? Come on, I'll take you back!"
Adler was terrified that Vanessa would suffer another shock. He had already spent the whole night here, and if Vanessa fainted again, he wouldn't be able to handle it!
"Colby, can I talk to you alone, please?" Vanessa's voice was weak, her eyes red and swollen as if she was about to cry at any moment.
Colby's gaze was fixed on Sophie across from him, and he did not respond to Vanessa at all.
Following Colby's gaze, Vanessa looked back at Sophie. She pursed her lips.
When he noticed Sophie, Adler couldn't help but cover his face. 'Oh dear, this is bad.'
Vanessa walked up to Sophie and, without a word, knelt down. She grabbed Sophie's hands, weeping, "Mrs. Burke, could you please ask Colby to speak a few words with me? I really need to ask him about something!"
Vanessa's action immediately drew the attention of those around them. The crowd began to whisper, and more people gathered to watch.
Adler hurriedly ran forward. "Why did you kneel down! Ms. Vanessa, please get up!"
Adler tried to help Vanessa up, but surprisingly, she was incredibly strong, and he, a tall man at six-foot-one, couldn't lift her up.
This girl had some serious strength!
"Why are you asking me? Whether he wants to talk to you is his business," Sophie said calmly.
