“Don’t worry! I’ll look after Old Mr. Tanner for you. Just take care of yourself. You needn’t dwell on this.”

Right now, Sophie had to deal with a particularly nasty virus.

Tristan was worried that Sophie would not keep calm if she knew what had happened to Josiah. If anything more serious happened because of that, the consequences could be disastrous.

“Okay. I can’t stay for too long on the phone. I’m quite busy here as well,” replied Sophie. The virus was very malignant, targeting and altering the host’s genes for the worse. They had to act quickly in order to prevent further transmission.

“I know you’re busy, but you have to watch out for your health too, okay?” Tristan could only say this much.

“I know. You needn’t worry about me. I’ll be home safe and sound.” Sophie believed in herself and Arius.

“All right.”

How could such a short conversation soothe his frayed nerves?

Tristan knew that there was no point in saying anything more. Besides, he could tell from the sound of her voice that she was exhausted. Thus, he decided not to distract her further so that she could get more rest.

Sophie then hung up and returned the phone to Arius.

“Let’s keep going!” There was barely any time to rest. All they could do was continue their efforts in stopping the virus because this was a time-sensitive matter.

Arius stood up and said, “Didn’t I tell you to leave to get some rest? Regardless, you’re still a woman. Your body can’t handle this for much longer.”

Arius was a man and could work for longer periods of time without needing to rest as often. It was high time Sophie stopped working for a bit.

If she continued on this path of working non-stop, her body was bound to give up on her.

“Cut the crap. Let’s continue working.” Time was currently a luxury they could not afford to waste.

In the meantime, Eustace had already apprehended S and was interrogating the man. However, S was proving too good at resisting their attempts at gaining information.

Not a single shred of information left the man’s lips.
