"You''re only important when you''re alive; once you''re dead, you don''t count for anything!"


    Odie murmured, "You and Sophie, neither of you are saints. Even now, you''re still trying to make deals with me..."


    Outside the casino, the ambnce had already pulled up.


    Odie was carefully ced on a stretcher.


    Seeing this, Colby turned to Sophie, who stood beside him, and said, "I''ll take care of the situation here at the casino. You go with him." "Alright."


    Sophie didn''t hesitate for a second.


    Colby was the only one who could handle the chaos of an overseas casino. Staying wouldn''t help; she''d do better looking after Odie.


    The ambnce sped towards the nearest hospital.


    Inside, Sophie nced down at Odie, whoy on the stretcher, covered in blood. He was a mess of wounds, practically a walking disaster, his appearance downright rming.


    "Why are your eyes still red? Sophie, you''re hopeless. I haven''t even cried out."


    Odie kept on with his trivialments from the stretcher.


    Sophie shot him a re and snapped, "My eyes are red from the wind! Do you have any idea how long it took us to find you? Couldn''t you have left us some clues when you got caught? Odie! I used to think you were just foolish, but now I see you''repletely clueless!" "I wasn''t caught; I went of my own free will."


    Hearing that, Sophie''s expression darkened even more: "Willingly... and you''re proud of that? I...!"


    A nurse nearby quickly chimed in, "Please, let''s keep calm. Don''t upset the patient."


    "Considering you''re practically at death''s door, I''ll let it slide. We''ll settle this once you''re back on your feet!" Sophie said, her teeth clenched.


    Odie finally gave in, exhausted, and closed his eyes, "Let''s discuss it if I wake up."


    Hearing Odie''s ominous words, Sophie felt the urge to smack him.


    What was he thinking, saying that now?


    Outside the operating room, Sophie sat on a chair in the hallway. The operation light glowed red, leaving them clueless about what was happening inside.


    Logically, with such severe injuries, being stabbed, survival seemed bleak.


    Sophie watched as blood was rushed into the operating room from the blood bank.


    After a while, a nurse emerged and asked, "Ms. Sophie, what''s your blood type?" "Type A, I''ve got type A blood."


    "Great! The patient urgently needs type A blood. You..." "Don''t waste time, just get me in there." "Okay."Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    The nurse handed Sophie a blood donation form to sign.


    After signing, Sophie was led to have her blood drawn.


    It was three hourster when Odie came to after surgery.

    Odie frowned and quipped, "Did you get hit by a truck on your way here?"

    Sophie immediately yanked the IV out of her arm and tried to leave.


    The nurse quickly approached, "Ms. Sophie, you''ve lost a lot of blood. You need to rest."


    The mention of "lost blood" made Odie pause in surprise.
