Wilma sobbed, even though she didn’t want to. As much as she wanted to appear strong, she couldn’t help but cry.

Once her tears ran dry, Sophie opened the door for her. “Get in! We’ll send you back.” I don’t think she’s in the mood for a meal. I may as well send her home to rest first.

“I want to treat you all to a meal for helping me so much, Ms. Sophie.” Of course, Wilma wasn’t an insensible woman. Additionally, she knew the lawyer Sophie hired was Sean. Hence, she felt obliged to show her appreciation.

“We can talk about that once you return from your vacation. For now, just relax and have fun. Don’t give up an entire forest for a rotten tree.”

Upon closing the door, Sophie sat in the passenger seat. Then Tristan drove Wilma back to her house.

By the time they sent Wilma home, it was already sometime past four in the afternoon. Since there wasn’t much else going on, Tristan brought Sophie to visit William.

Due to being an old man, William was happy to see the couple, even though he didn’t express his joy verbally.

His previous rejection of Sophie was long gone, and he had now come to accept her as part of the family.

“I heard you’ve been conducting research at Chanaean Medical Association. Do you need my help? If you do, let me know!” Despite his old age, he still wanted to contribute to his country.

Sophie answered, “For now, no. Our research is confidential, so I can’t tell you much about it.”

“Okay. If you need my help, let me know.” The elderly man’s voice was filled with enthusiasm.

“All right.”
