Burke International had always been the major investor in the downtown hospital, ensuring not just top-notch medical equipment but also a plentiful supply of Type A blood to guarantee the safety of Sophie's unborn child. It was unthinkable that anything could go wrong.
Nichole... It was Nichole.
James felt as though an invisible hand had yanked him back from the brink of a nightmare. He woke with a start in the hospital bed, his eyes gradually darkening with a cold, ominous light.

The smell of the hospital's disinfectant seemed to remind him of Sophie, bleeding out on the operating table, dead.
He finally understood why Sophie was so afraid of him, and why there was resentment and disgust for him in her eyes.
His past self had caused all of it.
He had orchestrated it all.
"Mr. Burke? Are you alright? Please, don't scare me..." Colt was frightened by James' reaction and was about to call for a doctor when James put on a strange expression and asked, "Who is Sophie?" Colt stood frozen in place upon hearing James' question. "Mr. Burke? You... don't remember Ms. Sophie?" James got up, his demeanor back to normal, and casually asked, "How's everything going at Eastwood College? Have Nichole's exam results cout yet?" "Mr. Burke..." Colt, taken aback, responded, "Mr. Burke, Ms. Nichole graduated a long tago, and she's now the daughter of the Freeman family. Ms. Sophie is your wife... don't you remember?" "What are you talking about? I remember there's a meeting tomorrow, but I promised to celebrate Nichole's academic advancement. Cancel the meeting." "...Alright, Mr. Burke. Please wait. I'll go call the doctor." A shadow of sorrow crossed Colt's eyes before he turned and left the room.
James watched Colt's retreating figure, his eyes darkening.
'Sophie... I owe you. I'll make up for this. I'll set you free.' That evening, Sophie received a call for her food delivery. She opened the door of her hotel room, ready to fetch her order, when she was startled by the bodyguard at the door.

"Do you need something?" If Sophie remembered correctly, this was one of the Cloude family's bodyguards, who was now assigned to Odie. After all, Odie's usual gang of enforcers was rather restricted in the law-abiding town of Duskhaven.
"Mr. Odie orderedto assist you with anything you need." "Alright, could you fetch my delivery for me? It's just downstairs in the lobby. I'm really hungry." Perhaps it was the breakfast at the diner that upset her stomach, as she had been running to the teet all afternoon and was now famished. She had no desire at the restaurant again; ordering delivery seemed the safer bet.
"Of course, Ms. Sophie. I'll be right back."
Sophie nodded and had just closed the door when two men turned the corner and approached hefroom. The men exchanged a glance before knocking on Sophie's door. "Did you forget to ask something?"
Sophie opened the door without a hint of suspicion, VPX bemet With the faces of two strangers.
Before she could react, one of them sprayed something in her face. X
