Chapter 778

Gordon's grip on Sophie's wrist tightened. She tried to pull away, but his strength was too much for her.

As Gordon's expression grew colder, Sophie had no choice but to nod. "Mr. Gordon... it's okay..."

"Okay? You call this okay?" Gordon's brow furrowed deeply, his eyes locked onto hers. "Do you realize how dangerous this is?"

Of course Sophie understood. She knew all too well. But what was done was done, and their priority now was to figure out how to deal with it.

*Odie only injected me once, and I think the purity was low."

"Have you had any symptoms yet?"

Even with low purity, a single injection could cause addiction, and that was deadly.

"...I've had one episode, but it wasn't too bad."

"Ridiculous!" Gordon's voice was filled with anger. "Why didn't you tell me about this immediately?"

Sophie rarely saw Gordon so upset. She quickly pulled her hand back, saying, "I was exhausted last night, I didn't want to worry you. And... I didn't want Colby to replace out."

If Colby found out, he'd definitely go after Odie. But Summerfield was too dangerous. If they were going to confront Odie, they needed a well-thought-out plan. Acting rashly would only lead to trouble.

Hearing this, Gordon was silent for a moment. He then turned to the butler, "Rick, get the doctor here right away, and keep this under wraps."

"Yes, sir."

Once Rick left, Gordon looked at Sophie, his voice serious. "Come with me."

With Rick gone, Sophie tried to help push Gordon's wheelchair, but he " replied, "I've got it."

He wheeled himself into the elevator.

"Mr. Gordon, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just..."

Gordon's tone was indifferent. "Alright, you don't have to explain to me. Think about how you're going to explain it to Colby tonight."

Gordon was usually patient, handling everything with ease, but Sophie could tell he was genuinely angry this time.

In the guest room, the doctor Rick had called was taking a blood sample from Sophie. The room was equipped with the most advanced medical devices since Gordon's health required regular home checks and treatments. Sophie never thought she'd need them too.

As the machine analyzed the results, Gordon watched Sophie sitting on the bed and asked, "Are you sure it was only once?"

Sophie nodded. "I'm certain."

"Mr. Gordon, we have the results."

The doctor handed the report to Gordon. "Ms. Sophie's blood shows

anomalies. It looks-

It looks like a new type of

drug was used, injected directly into

her bloodstream. It must have been diluted, otherwise, she might not have survived."

Gordon asked, "What side effects does this drug have?"

"It's highly addictive and hard to quit. Patients are prone to relapse. Luckily, since Ms. Sophie was only injected once, there's hope for recovery. More frequent injections could cause nerve damage, making it nearly impossible to quit, no matter how strong-willed the person is."

Gordon's expression turned grave. He frowned. "Understood Go prepare the medication.

"Yes, sir."

The doctor left the room.
