Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 492

"The first aid kit is here!"

The maid placed the first aid kit in front of Sophie, while Jenna and Adler, who were just outside, arrived in time to see the chaos. Jenna paused, clearly realizing who the so-called 'robber' was. Jenna frowned and said, "Let's take my car. We don't know when the ambulance will get here."

"Alright."

Sophie directed the security guard to take James to Jenna's car, which was parked outside.

At the hospital, the doctors quickly started emergency treatment on James. Jenna sat with Sophie in the corridor, saying, "He'll be okay. The doctor said it wasn't a vital hit."

"But excessive blood loss can still be fatal." Sophie massaged her temples and asked, "Where's Adler?"

"He... he had to head back for something."

"Did he go to replace Colby?"

Sophie and Jenna both knew that the intruder at the Burke family home was none other than Colby.

Colby had been too rash and clearly acted on impulse. Though his actions against James hadn't been fatal, nobody could tell if James might have incurred complications when he was stabbed.

"Is there a family member present?" The doctor came out of the operating room and said, "The patient needs to be hospitalized. We need a family member to sign."

"I'll do it." Sophie stepped forward and signed the document, then asked, "When is he likely to wake up?"

"The effects of the anesthesia haven't worn off yet. It should be later tonight."

"Okay, then I'll stay for the night."

"Sophie!"

Jenna looked worriedly at Sophie, who turned back to Jenna and said, "Let Adler handle Colby. Once James is out of danger, I'll head back."

"But..."

They both knew about Colby's temper. The fact that Colby could go as far as to storm the Burke family home clearly showed how angry he was. This wasn't something that could be easily resolved by the decade-long friendship between Adler and Colby.

"When you go back, tell Adler that Colby was too impulsive this time and probably left a lot of evidence behind. Ask him to take care of it. If the police get involved, it won't look good for Colby." Hearing this, Jenna nodded, "Okay, I'll tell him as soon as I get back."

Sophie remained silent.

At that moment, James had been moved to a hospital room, and when Colt arrived, he saw Sophie keeping vigil by James' side. "Madam..."

"Colt, did you see the face of the robber?"

"No."

Colt shook his head. The Burke family had made many enemies, but this was the first time someone had broken into the Burke family's main home.

Sophie looked at Colt and asked, "Why didn't you call the police immediately?"

Given the situation, Colt was usually the most alert and would have called the police right away, but the police hadn't shown up, and they hadn't contacted Colt either.

She had told Jenna and Adler not to call the police because she guessed Colby was the intruder. However, the Burke family's people couldn't have guessed the identity of the robber.

"Mr. Burke told me not to call the police, and I just followed Mr. Burke's orders." Colt was also full of doubts, clearly unaware of James' intentions.

Sophie frowned slightly, then chuckled.

Just as she thought.

Sophie said, "You stay here and look after Mr. Burke for me. I'll be going now."

Colt quickly asked, "Madam! Aren't you going to stay with Mr. Burke?"
