Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1188

Sophie took the ointment and band-aid, and the living room suddenly felt awkward with the silence hanging in the air.

“Um… I’ll head upstairs now.”

“Can you manage on your own?”

“…Yes.”

“Show me you can do it.”

“…”

Clearing her throat to prove herself, Sophie sat on the couch. She unscrewed the cap and sprinkled the powder onto the wound on her hand. But because her right hand was injured, her left hand felt clumsy, causing some of the powder to spill.

With the powder on her wound, her right hand was completely immobilized.

And the band-aid still lay unopened on the table.

Hmm… opening a band-aid one-handed was indeed tricky.

Sophie said, “I was too hasty, got the steps wrong. If I had torn open the band-aid first…”

Before Sophie could further explain, Gordon had already torn open the band-aid and carefully applied it to her finger.

Gordon’s movements were meticulous, even the band-aid was placed perfectly.

“Mr. Gordon, do you know what Colby went to do?”

“It’s not hard to guess, he probably went to find the person who knows who’s behind all this.”

“Griffin?”

Sophie was taken aback.

At this time… Why would Colby go to Griffin?

Could it be that these past few days Colby had been going out alone to investigate who was behind this?

Why would that fool keep even such small matters from her?

Of course, she knew Colby was the best partner in the world for anyone, but why… why did he have to mention what might happen in the future?

What… would happen in the future?

The next morning, at the Reeves household.

Elodie looked at Griffin, who had a bruise on his cheek, and while applying ointment to him, she sternly said, “Don’t move!”

Griffin didn’t dare to speak or move.

Elodie said, “How old are you, getting into fights last night? I shouldn’t have let you live so far from me! Getting into brawls in the suburbs at night, it sounds like it could make international news!”

“…Sorry.”

Griffin lowered his head, like a wounded puppy waiting for its owner to dress its wounds.

At that moment, the maid outside called, “Ms. Reeves! Ms. Reeves, something terrible has happened! The Reeves family has come knocking!”
