Chapter 157 Everything Is Ready

Feeling the warmth from Tristan’s chest, Sophie relaxed completely and leaned against him.

“What are you doing here all by yourself?”

“Grandpa is asleep, so I came here to get some air.”

“Hmm… I told you to go back and rest, but you refused. I’ve asked the hospital director to prepare the ward next door. You should go and get some rest. It’s not time for the surgery yet, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Okay, Mr. Tristan. Thank you.”

Apart from that, she truly did not know what else to say.

“No need to thank me. Come on. Go and get some sleep. You’ll only need to keep watch after the surgery.”

“Okay,” Sophie agreed reluctantly.

I just wanted to spend more time with Grandpa. After all, no one can predict the outcome of the surgery. If it weren’t because there was no other choice, I wouldn’t have wanted him to undergo surgery.

When Tristan led her to the ward next door, she saw a hospital bed and an extra bed inside.

“I’ll sleep on the extra bed. Since you’re tall, it won’t be comfortable for you,” said Sophie, nudging him toward the larger bed.

“Be good and go to sleep.” Without giving her the chance to refuse, he swept her up in his arms and carried her to the bed.

“Mr. Tristan⁠—”

Why is he willing to suffer for me?

Tristan also lay on the hospital bed next to her. The bed was not that big, so it was actually quite a squeeze for both of them to lie on it.

Nonetheless, it felt very warm and toasty to hug each other in the chilly weather of early winter.

“Sleep,” he murmured in his pleasant and utterly mesmerizing voice.
