Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 165

“F*ck it!” Arius cursed under his breath. Tristan is savage! He’s declaring war, huh? ”Tristan, do you seriously think I’m afraid of you? Let me tell you. I…”

Hearing his yells, Tristan opened the door and stared at him without a word.

Arius rubbed his nose awkwardly and pretended to glance at someone else in the corridor before leaving silently.

Fine. I’m not as strong as Tristan. I didn’t forget how Tristan beat me up back then. Why am I this unlucky to run into someone as savage as Tristan? I, Arius Gullifer, am the most capable doctor in the medical association!

Huh, what is it with my ass luck?

After he left, Tristan shut the door and turned to see Sophie staring at him wordlessly.

He shrugged. “I didn’t say anything. He was too noisy.”

“Mm, you’re right. He’s quite talkative,” Sophie admitted.

“Do you like men who are talkative?” Tristan asked suddenly. If she nods, I’ll have to figure out a way to make Arius disappear.

However, Sophie shook her head. “No.”

Tristan was satisfied with her response.

The surgery was going to be held at nine in the morning. After snowing the whole night, the sky was clear. Sophie woke up really early morning to chat with Josiah.

She didn’t talk much, for Josiah did most of the talking. However, she wanted to spend more time with him.

Suddenly, Josiah fell silent.

Sophie glanced at him curiously. The surgery is about to begin soon. Is he worried?

“Soph, come here!” Josiah said solemnly. Sophie had never seen him that serious before.

She went to him obediently and took his hand.

“Grandpa, you’ll be fine,” Sophie said firmly. She had to be strong. “I’ll keep you company during the surgery,” she promised.

Arius was there, so she had the privilege to do so.

Josiah told her, “Soph, don’t go in later. I don’t want you to take part in the surgery.”

Arius said she was talented. If she were to participate in his surgery but failed to succeed, it might affect her future. He didn’t want that to happen.”

“Grandpa!” Sophie shot him a disapproving look. “I promised to stay with you!”

No matter what, I’ll keep him company throughout the surgery.

Josiah let out a sigh.

“Soph, don’t you know you’ll get hurt easily with your personality? I’m delighted to learn that you’re talented in medicine, but I want you to be happy, all right?”

“I know. Don’t worry, for I’ll be happy,” Sophie promised despite not knowing what happiness was.

If that was what Josiah wanted, she would fulfill his wish.

“I know you’re capable, and you’ve done everything you promised me you would. On the other hand, I promised to protect you when you were young but ended up breaking my promise.” He wasn’t there when Sophie needed him the most, and he would never forget that.

Seeing how worried he was, Sophie reached out to stroke his furrowed brows.

“Grandpa, you didn’t break your promise. The incident that happened five years ago wasn’t that bad. If it hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I’m quite satisfied with myself. Stop blaming yourself, all right?”

She knew Josiah had been blaming himself for his absence for not being there for her, so she wanted him to know that she was doing great.

“Soph. Oh, my dear Soph. You’re so kind,” Josiah lamented. She never wanted anything, but the others in the family don’t understand her at all. Soph never wanted the Tanner family’s wealth!

“Don’t say that, Grandpa,” Sophie implored. She didn’t want to see him acting as though he wouldn’t survive the surgery.
