"Mr. Odie..." "What is she doing?" "She..." Gattlin also looked towards the mirror, only to see Sophie leaning against the corner wall, curling up, motionless. "She must be... scared?" "Scared?" Odie raised an eyebrow. He had seen countless people locked up and scared in the dark, but Sophie's reaction was nothing like theirs.
Fear didn't look like this.

Soon after, the sound of a woman's screams and wails could be heard from next door, but these noises seemed to have no effect on Sophie in the small, dark room.
Through the mirror, Sophie's body remained still.
Gattlin returned and reported, "Mr. Odie, it's done." Still observing Sophie through the mirror, Odie frowned and asked, "Could the mirror have been tampered with?" "No, it's a genuine two-way mirror. How could it be tampered with." Odie looked at Sophie in the mirror and suddenly stood up, his face dark with anger. "Go, open the door!" "Ah..." Gattlin looked bewildered but quickly realized what he was asked to do. He immediately left the room, took the keys, and opened the door of the small dark room. Inside, Sophie was curled up, motionless.
Odie strode forward and pulled Sophie up, but she still did not react. Odie frowned and touched Sophie's forehead.
Gattlin whispered from the side, "Mr. Odie, did she faint?" "Do you have to ask?" Odie gave Gattlin a cold glance, and Gattlin quickly shut his mouth.
Odie glanced at Sophie lying on the ground and then carried her in his arms, his face grim. "Go get a doctor!" "Right away!" Gattlin watched as Odie left with Sophie in his arms, puzzled. Wasn't Mr. Odie supposed to kill this woman? Why not punish hera bit more? g The Minton family's private doctor walked into die's cabin bedroom with all due respect, and after a thorough examination, he said with a serious face, "She's running a high fever. She needs medication immediately, or it could be dangerous." BAQUAES Gattlin remarked, "It's just a fever. How bad can it be?" The doctor frowned, "Her temperature is nearing 104 degrees Fahrenheit! If it keeps rising, it could easily damage her brain nerves."
Odie, sitting aside, said indifferently, "Then treat her. The The ship docks in three days and want to see her up and about by then." "I'll do my best."

The doctor didn't speak further, well aware of what kind of man his boss was. When it cto women, his En boss had never been soft-hearted.
Gattlin motioned to the maid at the door. "Come, take her back." The maid entered fearfully, wary of catching Odie's eye.
In just a short while, Sophie was moved back to the small dark room.
