“I wasn’t frightened. If your mercenaries didn’t scare me last time, I certainly wouldn’t have been affected by a car crash. I’m a brave woman, don’t you know? There’s no need for you to fuss about me. I’m not that fragile,” Sophie assured.

“All right, then. You sure are amazing. Still, why aren’t you asleep yet? Is something on your mind?” Tristan wondered.
