Anything For Her

Chapter 167 Uncontrollable

want her to stay and talk for too long. The operation had already sapped too much of her energy.Sophie stopped talking and went off to the VIP ward nearby accompanied by Tristan.“Why are you so nice to Sophie today? Is there something I do not know?”She did not understand the present situation at all. What is going on? She did not like that feeling at all as she liked to be in control of every situation.“Have a better attitude towards Sophie in the future. The entire Tanner family can only rely on her in the future.” Yale had not expected that after he spent so much time and effort on Willow, the boss turned out to be Sophie in the end.Charmaine frowned. “Why? I don’t understand.”“You don’t need to understand.” Who was Tristan after all? He did not even know if Tristan would mind others finding out about his relationship with Sophie.It did not matter what Tristan thought of Sophie, they could no longer ill treat Sophie.Even if Sophie was just a pet kept by Tristan, no one would dare to harm his pet.Furthermore, no one really knew what Sophie meant to Tristan.“What was that about? Can’t you tell me the truth?”We are one family, aren’t we? Why is it necessary to be so secretive and hide the truth?“Don’t question me. Just do as I say, that’s all.”Charmaine was rather upset. She was his wife, after all. Why does he always use the same reason to shut me up?Tristan led Sophie to the ward. He had to see her lie down with his own eyes.“Sleep well, so I won’t worry about you, okay? I shall go over to Grandpa now and watch him. There won’t be any problem.”“Mr. Tristan, I really appreciate this.”She felt at ease having him around.“You don’t have to mention that with me.”Tristan tucked her in, closed the door and left.Soon, she fell asleep and had a dream. The dream went on for a long time.In the dream, she was about seven or eight years old. Her grandfather went down on all four and dotingly carried her on his back.The memory became vivid and it was difficult to differentiate between a dream and reality.Nonetheless, she had smiled sweetly in the dream.Then, the dream changed and it was about the recent surgery but was a failure.“Grandpa—”Sophie woke up in fear from the nightmare, drenched with perspiration.Sitting up on the hospital bed, Sophie gasped violently. With one hand placed over her beating heart, she reached out for her phone with the other to check the time.She had slept for more than forty minutes.Unable to go back to sleep, she dressed up and went outside. Tristan was standing guard outside and saw her the moment she appeared.He walked toward her, frowning in disapproval. How long did she sleep? Why is she up already?“Why don’t you sleep a bit longer?” He led her to a bench nearby and seated her. Seeing her covered in perspiration, he could not help looking at her with concern. “What happened? Did you have a bad dream?”“Mr. Tristan, is my grandpa alright?” As someone who was knowledgeable in the field of medicine, she knew that the operation was very successful, but as Grandpa’s beloved little girl, she actually asked a silly question.Knowing that she was worried about Josiah, Tristan held her hand tightly.“Didn’t Arius say it’s a completely successful operation? You took part in it yourself.” She knew everything, but that did not stop her from worrying.Sophie nodded. That’s true! She knew everything, from beginning to end. She knew it all.Yet, she could not help but worry. In fact, she was even fearful.Sophie leaned on his shoulder.“I know
