In just a short while, Colby had already emerged from the hospital, leading his group.
Upon seeing Sophie and Colby, William then addressed Jenna and Adler before him, "What did I tell you? I said it would be quick, didn't I?"
"How did you manage that? How come you've brought her out looking all bright and chirpy?"
Jenna looked at Colby in surprise.
Sophie had just undergone surgery; she should be resting properly in the hospital!
How could she be out and about?
But seeing Sophie still unconscious on the stretcher, Jenna felt there must be a good reason for her brother's actions.
"Let's get her out of here," Harold said. "The Aldridge Estate also has a top-notch medical team, and if needed, I'll get the professional equipment."
"Right."
"Exactly, what's so good about the hospital!"
Adler chimed in from the side, "Let's head back. It's so cold out here, I'm almost freezing to death!"
God knows how long they had been waiting there.
They were supposed to go in after buying some late-night snacks.
But Jenna had them wait out here for so long just to give Colby and Sophie a bit more time, almost to the point of catching colds.
"I really can't take it anymore, I can't... Achoo!"
William sneezed again, then hurried toward the car, "I'll drive! I can't take this anymore! I'm freezing to death! Achoo!"
The series of sneezes made William feel somewhat embarrassed.
It was his first time seeing the patient recover while he, the doctor, fell ill!
Saying so, William slid into the driver's seat.
Sophie was still unconscious when she got into the car.
William naturally pointed at Colby not far away and said, "Look, he's already carrying his wife upstairs the moment they arrived. Why would they need my help? Besides, it's so late, as a doctor, I should have some personal space. If they don't let me sleep at this hour, I'm truly going on strike."
"..."
Adler had never seen a doctor as reliable yet unreliable as William.
In the bedroom, Colby gently laid Sophie on the bed, making sure not to disturb her wounds before he sat down on a nearby chair.
Sophie, unconscious, was unaware of anything, her face pale with eyes closed.
Colby covered her with a blanket.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me."
William stood at the door, opening just a small gap before peeking his head through, "Ms. Sophie was under general anesthesia, so it's normal for her to talk in her sleep. I'm off to bed now. Please, Mr. Colby, if you notice anything I mentioned, don't take it too seriously, and definitely don't wake me up. I'm not a morning person."
