Pursuing Her Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Uncontrollable

In twenty seconds, Sophie removed the bullet fragment deftly and without mistakes.After the

removal of the bullet fragment, follow-up work was just the usual routine. When the operation was

over, Josiah was pushed into the observation room.Sophie and Arius went to shower and change.

However, Sophie found herself leaning against the wall, her hand trembling uncontrollably.Sophie

bit her lip as she watched her trembling hand.Tristan had already showered and changed and was

waiting outside for her.The moment he set eyes on her, Tristan noticed that something was not

right, and he held her hand.It's okay, now. You did a great job,” Tristan said, consoling her.Sophie

leaned gently on his body and slowly closed her eyes.Performing such a delicate operation was

exhausting both mentally and physically, and she was totally drained now.“It's okay, now. You did

well. Now, go and get some rest.” Seeing her in this condition, his heart ached for her. On the

operating table, Sophie's skill was so extraordinary that no one could take their eyes off her but she

was his woman and he wished that there would be less pressure on her.Some might judge him for

being selfish but all he wanted was for her not to be so exhausted.”I'll go and see Grandpa first.” No

matter how tired she was, she wanted to see her grandfather before going back to rest. The

operation was done but recovery would depend on close observation and aftercare.”Okay, I'll

accompany you to see Old Mr. Tanner first. After seeing him, you can go back to rest. I'll stay there

and everything will be fine.” He could take over her place to watch over him.Sophie did not protest

as she really needed to rest for a while. Besides, Josiah would take several hours before waking

up.Josiah had been wheeled into the observation room and visitors were not allowed in. So, she

went in alone.”"Grandpa, I've done all that can be done. It all depends on you now. You've always

been my hero so I am sure you can pull through. You won't let me down, will you?"Her grandfather

was a veteran. He had been through the war and was an indomitable hero. If it was not for that tiny

bullet fragment, he would not leave his beloved job.After speaking a few words, Sophie came out of

the observation room as she could not stay long.Yale saw her coming out. Inmediately, he asked

with concern, “Soph, how is your grandpa doing? After he was wheeled out, we asked many doctors,

but they were not familiar with the case.”At that point, Yale's attitude toward Sophie improved a

lot.Realizing that Tristan was on her side, Yale did not dare to show any disrespect. After all, the

Lombard family was very prominent in the city of Jipsdale."The operation was a success, but we will

only know the whole picture after Grandpa wakes up.” After all, he was advanced in age. Younger

folks may take a few days to recover, but he would take longer."The successful operation is a good

thing,” Yale mumbled, almost to himself.Charmaine glanced at Yale in surprise. That was the first

time he was so cordial to Sophie.“Okay, you're tired. Go and rest.” Tristan did not 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.” know that this is not good but I can't help it. I can’t

control myself.” She did not like it but she cared too much for her grandfather, so she became all

worried and felt awful about it.
