Chapter 568
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
âWhat if he did? Nothing in this world is unchanging,â Nicholas insisted. If it really happens, will she
leave Tristan?
âI told you he wonât. Heâs the man I chose, so I have complete trust in him,â Sophie replied.
The unreserved trust she had for Tristan was something Nicholas was exceedingly jealous of.
âWhat can I do to make you forget about him?â he asked. Sheâll only be able to remember me after
forgetting about Tristan, right?
Hearing that, Sophie frowned.
She was used to Nicholasâ maniacal demeanor, but it seemed like it had worsened.
âNicholas, itâs best if you book a visit with a psychiatrist,â she uttered, giving him the best suggestion
she could think of.
âAll of you think thereâs something wrong with me, donât you? But I think Iâm fine. All Iâm doing is loving
you, and if you say that thereâs something wrong with me loving you, then thereâs nothing else I can say
to you.â
Nicholas did not think it was possible for him to be ill. In his opinion, he was perfectly fine.
âThose with mental illnesses will never believe that they have an illness,â she said, for that was not the
first time she had heard something like that from him.
âArenât you a student of the University of Medicine? Why donât you treat me then?â
It would be easier for him to accept it if the doctor were Sophie.
âSorry, but Iâm in the surgery program,â Sophie said. I canât do it unless what you need is for me to
open you up.
âCan I ask you a question?â Nicholas then uttered.
In response, she nodded.
âWould you learn psychiatry if the one whoâs ill is Tristan?â
Hearing that, Sophie drew her brows together, but in the end, she nodded.
If Tristan were in Nicholasâ position, she would not hesitate to study psychiatry.
âThen can you study it for me?â Nicholas inquired.
Sophie shook her head.
âNicholas, you donât belong here, and nothing here belongs to you. Go back to Anglandur. They have
the best psychiatrist there, and itâs time for you to visit one.â
She knew that he would undoubtedly lose his mind if things went on.
âI donât want to. I want to be wherever you are. Even if Iâll only be able to breathe the same air youâre
breathing, staying here is much better than returning to Anglandur,â he insisted. He did not care if
everyone else in the world disagreed with him.
Sophie was bewildered as to what kind of charm she could have to make him obsess over her.
She had never done anything to Nicholas, and she never thought of doing anything to make him fall for
her.
âFrankly, I have no idea which part of me youâre enamored with. I donât remember ever doing anything
to you,â she voiced.
I would never try to get involved with a man like him.
I would never try to get involved with a man like him.
âLove has no reason. Isnât that just how it is? If you think itâs possible to define it, can you tell me why
you love Tristan, then?â Nicholas replied. If it can be controlled, then it isnât love.
However, Sophie did not want to waste her breath on him anymore.
Hence, she uttered, âDonât tail me anymore. Nothing will ever change.â Regardless of whatever he said,
her mind would never change.
Nicholas knew what kind of person she was. Perhaps sheâll only return to me if I make her forget about
Tristan completely.
When he returned to the mansion, he summoned Alex.
âAlex, havenât you always wanted me to go back to Anglandur?â he asked, having calmed down after
seeing Sophie.
As of then, he seemed perfectly fine.
Alex knew it would be the easiest to communicate with Nicholas at that moment.
Hence, he nodded.
âMr. Nicholas, this place really isnât our territory. If we linger here, weâll be in greater danger,â he
coaxed.
They were only temporarily safe because Tristan had yet to find out they were there.
Furthermore, Sophie had her misgivings, which was why she did not deal the fatal blow to them.
Nevertheless, that was not something that would last forever.
âGo contact Professor E!â Nicholas ordered.
âMr. Nicholas, youâre finally willing to meet Professor E!â Professor Eâs the only one who can help with
Mr. Nicholasâ mental illness.
âNo. I want to ask a favor of him,â was Nicholasâ reply. He was sure that hypnotizing someone would
not be a problem for Professor E.
âMr. Nicholasââ Alex started, but he clamped his mouth shut when he saw Nicholasâ refusal to
elaborate on the topic.
âI donât want to repeat myself. Itâs time for you to start knowing your place,â Nicholas warned, not
wanting to resort to cruelty.
After all, Alex had been by his side for over a dozen years.
He was more than a subordinate to him.
âOf course, Mr. Nicholas,â Alex answered. Even though he knew nothing of Nicholasâ plan, he had to
obey any of his superiorâs instructions.
Maybe things will be less complicated if Professor E has a talk with Mr. Nicholas!
Meanwhile, Jennifer finally discovered Nicholasâ identity, and it was only then that she learned he was
the one who caused her to get into the car accident.
âD*mn it!â
As of then, Jennifer was in her office. The moment she registered the information on the documents,
she was beside herself with rage, consumed with a strong urge to kill Nicholas there and then.
Yet, Nicholas was not a man she could kill.
âMs. Whitley, this is all the information weâve gotten. These people arenât people we should be
crossing, so please donât ask us to look into this anymore.â
Even the people at the private detective agency were terrified.
If Nicholas were to find out that they had been snooping around, they would be dead meat.
âYou can leave now. Donât talk about this to anyone. Iâll be transferring the money straight into your
accounts,â she ordered. From the documents, it was clear that Nicholas was head over heels for
Sophie.
Jennifer, of course, was delighted to find out the answer to the question she had been wondering.
I wonder what Tristan will feel when he sees these photos. I truly wish to know what the look on
Sophieâs face will be like after she finds out about this.
After Sophie was done with her morning classes, she went out of the room with Sandra, thinking of
getting something to eat at the cafeteria. It was there she spotted Jennifer.
âSophie, she must be here for you,â Sandra said when she noticed Jennifer staring at Sophie.
âSheâs no one important. Just ignore her.â Sophie did not want to bother herself with Jennifer, for she
saw no point in wasting her precious time on someone as trivial as her.
Yet, Jennifer jogged over to her.
âWe need to talk,â Jennifer said in an arrogant tone. It was because she felt that she had the upper
hand.
However, Sophie did not even lift her head to look at her.
âWhat do you want for lunch?â she asked Sandra instead.
At that, Sandra glimpsed at Jennifer, who was dressed in business attire. She doesnât look like a good
person at all. In fact, sheâs annoying!
âSophie Tanner, Iâm talking to you! Is this what the manners of the third daughter of the Tanner family
are?â Jennifer snarled.
Right then, Simon emerged from the classroom, only to see Jennifer being rude to the woman he
admired.
Immediately, he shielded Sophie.
âWho do you think you are? Why are you looking for Sophie?â All Simon wanted was for Sophie to work
in his familyâs hospital, so he was determined to protect her.
The appearance of Simon made Jennifer burst out laughing.
âSophie, I never thought that youâd be so unrestrained. Youâre in a relationship with Mr. Tristan, but
youâre cheating on him in university?â Jennifer mocked.
âYouââ Sandra started, enraged by her words. How can she make someone so mad with just a few
words? Iâm this close to beating her up!
âMs. Whitley, does this have anything to do with you? Perhaps your unrequited love was because of
your irritating personality,â Sophie countered.
