Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 147

In no time at all, the discharge procedures were completed, and Adler went downstairs to fetch the car.

When Sophie changed out of her hospital gown, she glanced at the room next to hers where James had been staying, but ultimately she followed Jenna and left the hospital.

Outside the hospital, Sophie spotted Colt's car, and Nichole's face was reflected in the rear window.

By evening, James was slowly waking up in his hospital bed, only to see a blurry figure bustling around him.

“Sophie,” James called out softly.

The figure paused momentarily, and when it turned around, it was Nichole, smiling sweetly. “James, you’re finally awake.”

Nichole set a cup of water aside and said, “I came straight here after class to check on you. Are you feeling okay? Should I call the doctor?”

A flash of disappointment crossed James' face. His voice was a bit hoarse, "Where’s Sophie?”

Nichole’s smile froze briefly, but soon softened again. “Sophie? She’s already been discharged.”

Hearing this, James pursed his lips. She was in such a rush to leave?

“Call Colt in.”

Nichole noticed James was still preoccupied with Sophie, she bit her lip and said, “James, you’ve been so seriously injured, and Sophie hasn’t visited you once. Maybe you should stop thinking about her.”

James felt as if he had been struck hard, his voice grave, “Did she really not come to see me even once?”

Nichole shook her head, “She didn’t come. This afternoon, she left with Colby. They...”

Nichole trailed off.

James was no fool. Even in his groggy state, he understood the implication of Nichole’s words.

So, Sophie and Colby were still together.

James clenched his phone tightly. The thought of Sophie and Colby being alone together was unbearable for him. Quickly, James ended the call and got up from the hospital bed.

A nurse entering the room was startled to see James fully dressed, “You shouldn’t be out of bed yet!”

“Move.” Buttoning up his shirt, James strode out of the room.

Colt immediately approached him, “Mr. Burke, the doctor said you need to rest. You can’t be discharged.”

“Give me the car keys.”

Colt hesitated but dared not disobey James, reluctantly he handed over the keys.
