Chapter 997 Chapter 997 Rick bolted downstairs as he spoke.

Sophie walked into the house and, sure enough, saw a bunch of doctors huddled around Gordon's bed, desperately trying to save him. Gordon's eyes were half-closed, and he looked out of it. Sophie spotted a pill in one of the doctor's hands while they whispered urgently among themselves.

Seeing this, Sophie stepped forward and demanded, "What's that pill? You said it could save him, so why aren't you using it?" The doctors exchanged uneasy glances, but nobody answered.

Just then, Rick dragged William into the room. Upon seeing the pill, Rick said, "Mrs. Costello, the pill works, but the man himself said he won't take it." "Won't take the medicine?" Sophie frowned. "Does it have side effects?" "No." "Or is it not the right treatment?" "That's not it either." "Then why won't he take it?" Sophie snapped, her frustration bubbling over as she moved to force the pill into Gordon's mouth.

But at that moment, Gordon's eyes fluttered open. He might have been weak, but he still had a surprising amount of strength. He grabbed Sophie's wrist and murmured, "Sophie... put it down." Sophie froze, momentarily thinking she misheard.

She leaned closer and asked, "Mr. Gordon, what did you say?" "...I said, put it down gently." Gordon's eyes cleared, and his tone softened. Sophie, thinking the pill must be something incredibly precious, carefully placed it on the nearby cabinet.

"...Sorry, Mr. Gordon. I overstepped." Gordon sighed, "Leave. I need to rest." Sophie stood up, hesitating for a moment, and then glanced back at Gordon, who had already closed his eyes.

Had she... really heard wrong? Sophie walked out of Gordon's bedroom. After a while, William and the other doctors emerged. William was surprised to see her still there and asked, "Mrs. Costello, you're still here?" "Dr. William..." "Please, drop the formalities. Just ask your question directly, or you'll givea heart attack." Especially since Colby would have a meltdown if he found out! Sophie didn't hold back. "William, what's with Mr. Gordon's illness..." "Ah, ah, ah! That's top-secret, I can't tell you!"

As William turned to leave, Sophie quickly blocked his path, holding up a Kath holding up a finger. "Ten million. I give you`ten million if you tellwhy he won't take that pill." William's eyes widened at the offer. Ten million was a lot more generous than anything Colby or Gordon had ever offered! "Alright, I'll tell you. Gordon won't take that pill because it was given by Ms. Elodie." "Ms. Elodie gave it?" Sophie was puzzled. "Then why won't he take it?"

"No clue, maybe he's holding onto it for sentimental reasons. There were rumors in Devonport that Gordon fell in love with the Reeves family's heiress, almost died for her?" "..." Sophie raised an eyebrow. She had never heard such a wild rumor.

"Don't spread nonsense." Rick's voice ind, cut in from behind, his face serious. "The man's refusal to take that pill has nothing to do with Ms. Elodie." William scoffed, "Then what's the real reason?" X
