Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679 Fate Unknown

After Jetroina's president learned of the matter, he hurriedly arrived at the mountain, even though he knew his presence there wouldn't be helpful.

Still, he came to express his support and assured, “Don't worry, Mr. Tristan. We'll do our very best to save them.”

Since Sophie and Ysabelle went missing in his territory, if his people failed to rescue them, his collaboration with Tristan might fall apart.

That was why he ignored his own safety to come to the mountain.

“Thank you.” At that moment, Tristan wasn't in the mood for diplomacy. All he wanted was to find Sophie and bring her home.

The president's secretary was slightly displeased by Tristan's attitude. Does he know who he's talking to? Our president has personally come here to speak with him, so why is he displaying that sort of attitude? Besides, this is a natural disaster. No one wants this to happen. It has nothing to do with the president.

“Mr. President didn't sleep at all during the night, Mr. Tristan. He's been worrying about the matter, too.” His desire for Tristan to show respect to the president was apparent.

In response, Tristan glanced at him and questioned, “So? What do you want me to do?”

That shut the secretary up.

Immediately, the president said, “Please don't mind my subordinate's words, Mr. Tristan. I know you're feeling anxious, but there's no need for you to worry. Our country's rescue team is very competent. They'll find the women, dead or alive.”

“They're not going to die,” snapped Tristan. Their deaths are the last thing I want to hear, yet he still had the gall to say it aloud. What is he trying to accomplish?

It was then the president realized he had misspoken and clarified, “That's not what I meant. In any case, I know you're worried right now. I'll arrange for another troop to join the search.”

On the way down the mountain, his secretary inquired with confusion, “Why are you doing so much for Tristan, Mr. President? Is it really worth it?” Most importantly, Tristan's so arrogant! He doesn't seem appreciative of the president's efforts at all.

“You're asking those questions because you aren't aware of how important he is to Jetroina. In any case, quit your yapping and send a troop here to help out.” The president had always been eager to collaborate with Tristan but never had the chance to do so. This is the perfect opportunity to fulfill my wish! If we succeed in helping him out, Tristan will no doubt feel indebted to oblige my request!

“Yes, Mr. President.” While the secretary didn't understand the situation, he still earnestly carried out his boss's commands because his president had never made an incorrect decision.

When Cecelia heard Sarah and Butterfly had returned to the hotel, she immediately left the room.

The instant she saw their demeanor, tears welled in her eyes. I don't want to believe it, but if they still haven't been located after so long, they're likely already...

“They still haven't been found yet, Sarah? It's been so long. They...” She felt as though her body was drained of all energy. If we didn't come here for holiday, this wouldn't have happened. I can't help but feel immensely guilty.

“I bet you two are tired right now, so just rest in the hotel, all right? Tristan is here, and he has mobilized Jetroina's national rescue team. Everything will be fine,” Sarah comforted since there was nothing else she could say.

Instead of replying, Butterfly returned to her room and relayed the news to other members of Wings of Light.

She promptly asked them to join the rescue effort.

Since Sophie was the founder of Wings of Light and their most significant backer, everyone hastily flew to Jetroina after learning what had happened.

They were hellbent on saving Sophie regardless of the cost.

When they arrived, Butterfly arranged their missions.

“Don't worry, Butterfly! We know just how important Phantom is to everyone here,” one of them remarked.

The fact that they instantly abandoned what they were doing to come and rescue Sophie was a clear indication of their tight bonds.

“Thanks, everyone,” Butterfly said.

Everyone had mobilized all available resources to contribute to the search.

At that moment, they hoped the heavens would take pity on Sophie and spare her from a tragic death, especially with how difficult her life had been.

Meanwhile, when Nicholas learned of the news, he hastily paid Jetroina's president a visit since he was in the country.

The president didn't expect Nicholas would come.

“You'd better keep this in mind. If anything happens to Sophie, I won't let you off,” spat Nicholas coldly.

“Do you know who you're talking to right now? How can you act so arrogant?” The president's secretary was upset by how people kept disrespecting his boss.

Without delay, the president gestured for his secretary to shut up. “Leave the room! You're not needed here.” I can't afford to offend Nicholas Sable.

Then he placated Nicholas. “Don't worry, Mr. Sable. I've sent people to search for her.”

In response, Nicholas sneered. I know Tristan's on the mountain right now, which is why I'm not there helping out. This matter is blo*dy depressing. D*mmit, I didn't expect something like this would happen! If Sophie dies, who can I pursue in the future? I've prepared everything for her, so I mustn't allow any harm to come her way!

It had been over ten hours since Sophie and Ysabelle were buried under the snow.

They had no idea what the situation outside was like, especially when all they could see was darkness.

Ysabelle was reaching her limits as it had been hours since she last ate.

When the avalanche occurred, Sophie was the one who pushed her into the hole to save her.

However, as a result, Sophie's foot was pinned by a giant rock and she was immobilized.

“Are you still alive, Sophie?” asked Ysabelle weakly. I'm so scared right now! I don't want to die here!

“I'm not dead yet! Just keep holding on.” Sophie's voice sounded particularly weak, too. This rock pressing on my leg is too heavy for me to push it away. I could've avoided it when the avalanche occurred, but when I saw Ysabelle standing there, I had to turn around and throw us both into this hole in order to survive.
