Chapter 619
In the center of Devonport City Hospital, a doctor said to the man in the bed, "Mr. Burke, your injury isn't too serious, but you must avoid any strenuous activity for a short while. I recommend you stay in the hospital for observation."
James wasn't focused on his injury at the moment. The sound of an incoming message on his phone caught his attention.
He unlocked his phone and saw an unread text message. The message, sent last night, read: [Sophie is being held by Odie in Duskhaven.] James' face turned pale the moment he read the message. He thought the status update Sophie posted was because Colby had rescued her.
But, to his horror, it turned out Odie had captured her!
"Mr. Burke! You can't get out of bed yet! You-"
The doctor couldn't stop James. As James limped out of the room, ignoring the pain in his leg, someone outside quickly came to his aid, saying, "Mr. Burke, where are you off to in such a hurry? Just give me the orders, and I'll handle it."
"Book a flight immediately. I need to go to Duskhaven!"
Colt's expression darkened, and he replied, "Mr. Burke, the company is in chaos. Bea has taken over all your responsibilities. You can't just leave now! You need to stay in Devonport and take charge!" "Out of my way!" James pushed past Colt.
James looked so determined. Colt stepped forward, trying to reason with him. "Mr. Burke, if it's something urgent, let me handle it. I can take care of it..."
"Odie has taken Sophie, and they're in Duskhaven. I have to go!"This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
When it came to Sophie, Colt realized he couldn't stop James. He tried to calm James down, saying, "Just wait in your room for a moment. I'll book the next flight to Duskhaven, and then I'll accompany you there."
Hearing this, James firmly grabbed Colt's shoulders. "Hurry, I have to go to Duskhaven immediately!"
James knew all too well what kind of person Odie was. He couldn't let Sophie fall into Odie's hands.
"Alright, I'm on it." Colt agreed but hesitated as he turned away to call Bea.
"Madam, Mr. Burke insists on going to Duskhaven to find Ms. Sophie. His injuries are severe. Please, you must help prevent Mr. Burke from going there."
Inside the Burke family estate, Bea's expression darkened instantly at Colt's words over the phone.
She hung up, her gaze turning fierce.
Sophie again. James had gotten seriously injured because of her, and even in the hospital, he was worried sick over this woman!
What was so special about her that her grandson had lost his senses over her?
Solana, standing beside Bea, looked frightened. Bea said coldly, "Did you take care of things? Sophie made it to Duskhaven! Did your people not take care of her?!"
"Aunt Bea, we had information that Sophie would appear at the Devonport docks. My people had been waiting there for days, and, and who knew Sophie would go to
2"
Solana noticed Bea's gaze grow
colder and quickly added, "I'll senget
my people to Duskhaven to take
care of Sophie right away. I won't let you be troubled, Aunt Bea! S
"Make sure you do. Now go!"
"Yes, Aunt Bea..."
As Solana left, Bea stood up and said to Marian, "Get ready. I'm going out."
