"Ms. Sophie, is it something important? Do you need me to help you look for it?"


    The maid''s words pulled her back from her thoughts, and Sophie replied with feigned calmness, "It''s nothing important, just something quite expensive. If it''s lost, it''s lost. No need to look for it." "Alright then, you rest up. My name is Polly. Just call me if you need anything, Ms. Sophie."


    "Do you know where we are heading?"


    "We''re heading back to Devonport. We''ll be docking in three days."


    Hearing this from Polly didn''t surprise Sophie much.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Odie had actuallye to Devonport, and it seemed they wouldn''t be leaving anytime soon. But... she needed to find a way to tell Colby that she was still alive.


    The next morning, Sophie woke up from bed, quickly freshened up, and then the doctor came to give her an injection.


    Odie didn''t care about the specifics of her treatment as long as it could get her back to health within three days.


    Sophie had to endure a daily regimen of IV drips, injections, and medication, practically bing a walking pharmacy.


    After examining Sophie''s condition, the doctor said, "Starting today, you can resume eating solid food. Don''t just drink soup. It doesn''t have much nutritional value. It only provides carbohydrates." "So I should avoid certain foods and stick to nd ones, right?"


    "Exactly."


    "Good, I''m hungry." Sophie looked towards the door at Polly and said, "Polly, could you prepare lunch, please?"


    "Right away."


    Polly nodded but hadn''t even left the room when Gattlin, who hade to keep an eye on her, arrived.


    Gattlin spoke with a mocking tone, "Ms. Sophie, you sure are good at bossing people around. Don''t forget, you are Mr. Odie''s prisoner!"


    Polly stood at the door, looking


    troubled, so Sophie said, "Well, in


    that case, Polly, you don''t need


    go. Gattlin, could you prepare lunch


    for me, please?"


    "What did you say? Who do you think you are, asking me to prepare lunch for you?"


    "I''m someone of use to Mr. Odie." Sophie spoke calmly, "Odie has promised me respect. Do you also want to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish for not taking your boss'' words seriously?"


    Gattlin knew Odie''s temper. He felt deted and didn''t dare insult Sophie further, and he turned to leave.


    Polly, looking scared, said, "Ms. Sophie, you shouldn''t offend Gattlin. He''s Mr. Odie''s right-hand man, he..."


    "I know you''re scared of him, but to me, he''s just another one of Odie''s dogs. And I''ve never been afraid of dealing with dogs."


    Sophie moved closer to Polly and whispered, "Do you have a phone?"


    Polly quickly shook her head, saying, "People on the ship aren''t allowed to have electronic devices."


    No electronic devices...


    This Odie was indeed very strict.


    At that moment, Gattlin called over a few maids to bring Sophie''s lunch.


    Sophie noticed that the meal was only in broth and salted vegetables. She put down her cutlery and asked, "Is this all you''re giving me?" "What else do you want to eat?"


    Sophie said with difficulty, "The


    doctor mentioned I shouldn''t just eat


    soup, and salted vegetables are


    nutritionally void. Gattlin, do you intentionally not want me to recover?"


    "You..."


    Gattlin was furious but held back. If he had treated Sophie like any other prey, by now, he would have alreadyshed her with a belt!
