Chapter 741

Right after Sophie returned to the mansion, she received a call from Butterfly.

“I found Nicholas’ whereabouts. Do you have a plan?” Butterfly asked. Nicholas will unquestionably pay

a heavy price for his transgression.

“Send the coordinates to me,” ordered Sophie.

In response, Butterfly frowned. In the past, I wouldn’t have thought twice about letting her go alone.

However, her leg is still recovering, and Nicholas is a mighty opponent. It won’t be a wise decision if

she charges head-first into his lair.

“If you have a plan, you can share it with me, Sophie. We can do this together.”

I may not be as capable as her, but if we tackle this problem together, we can look out for each other.

Shaking her head, Sophie denied, “You leave this matter to me, Butterfly. This is between him and me.”

There’s no way I’ll forgive him after he came here to orchestrate that accident. Regardless of the price I

have to pay, I will take him down.

Her attitude ticked off Butterfly. “Have you forgotten our relationship, Sophie? If not for you back then, I

would’ve been dead. So please, don’t say such a thing to me. No matter what plan you have in mind,

you can tell me about it. I’ll cooperate.” It hasn’t been easy for her to find someone she loves and who

treats her well. I don’t want her happy life to be jeopardized. After all, happiness is hard to come by,

and I sincerely hope she’ll be happy forever.

“Fine! Send the coordinates to me first. If I have any plan, I’ll let you know.”

“Okay.” While Butterfly was still worried, she was always obedient to Sophie, so she sent the

coordinates.

“It’s getting late. You should rest early, too.” Upon ending her sentence, Sophie hung up the call.

Moments later, she received Nicholas’ location.

After Tristan finished showering, he saw her spacing out in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He

strolled toward her and hugged her from behind. “What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you asleep

yet? You must be tired after so many things happened today. It may be difficult, but try emptying your

mind and go to sleep. I promise Nicholas won’t have a chance to hurt our family again.”

Sophie responded with an absentminded hum.

Sweeping her into his arms, he strode into the room, put her on the bed, and tucked her in. “I know

what you’re worrying about, Sophie. I swear that something like the accident won’t occur again. You

can relax.” After all, I’m going to take care of him. The only thing she needs to do now is focus on

becoming my bride.

“Let’s kill Nicholas, Tristan!” she exclaimed. If his existence is a threat to us, we should just murder him!

Otherwise, he’ll keep threatening our lives.

Her abrupt, straightforward statement shocked Tristan.

Still, he nodded. I agree. Since Nicholas refuses to let us go, there’s no need for us to hold back. I’m

sick of playing games with him, anyway. “I’ll come up with a plan. Your leg is still recovering, so I’ll

handle this. You’ll trust me, right?” It’s better if I plan the murder because it’ll be challenging to slay

someone like Nicholas.

“We’ll do it together,” stated Sophie firmly. We’ve never done something like this together before.

Instead of rejecting her request, Tristan said, “Sure. Now, let’s sleep!” I know she’ll argue with me if I

disagree.

“Okay.”

After a while, Sophie’s voice rang in the room again. “I can’t sleep.” I’m not feeling drowsy at all.

Thus, Tristan removed his shoes, lay on the bed, and pulled her into his embrace. “I’ll sleep with you!”

“Mhm!”

With his company, she was able to enter her slumber quickly.

When he saw how soundly she was sleeping, he released a sigh of relief and kissed her forehead. For

so many years, she was used to taking care of everything by herself. That’s why I think she wants to

solve this problem by herself, too. However, she has me now, so there’s no way I’ll let her do this alone.

Nicholas is our common enemy, and I’ll never forgive him. He was fortunate when he survived last

time, but he’s not getting lucky twice. In any case, hugging her feels so good. I should return to my

room right now, but I don’t want to. F*ck it. I’m just going to stay here for this night and keep her

company.

The next morning, Tristan asked the housekeepers to prepare breakfast before heading to the hospital

with Sophie.

When they arrived, they saw Sarah was also inside William’s room.

Sarah was touched when her father used his body to protect her, but she was also afraid that he had

suffered grave injuries as a result. Therefore, she was grateful that he was mostly fine. If not, she

would’ve felt guilty for the rest of her life.

When Sophie brought the breakfast to William, he wanted to leave the bed to consume it. In response,

Sarah stopped him. “You’re old, Dad. While your injury isn’t severe, you must stay in bed! Otherwise,

you’ll be in great pain if you accidentally tear your wound.”

William was speechless for a moment before he refuted, “I’m still plenty young, Sarah! I can leave the

bed. Can you siblings stop exaggerating my condition?” He took offense to her remark that he was old

because he still wanted to stay by their sides for a few more years.

Without delay, Sarah grabbed the bowl of soup in Sophie’s hands and sat on the bed. “Come, Dad. I’ll

feed you.” This is a rare opportunity, so I have to put on a good performance.

While William didn’t want to speak anymore, he was glad his daughter was filial, so he played along.

As Sarah fed him one scoop at a time, he enjoyed himself, even though it seemed like he wasn’t.

Sophie watched the scene unfold from the side. Sarah sure does have a great relationship with her

father!

After he finished his meal, Sarah ate hers and informed, “There’ll be a checkup later, Dad. Once it’s

done, you can return home.” I know he doesn’t like to stay in the hospital. I doubt there’s anyone in the

world who prefers living in the hospital over the comfort of their home.

William disputed, “These are just minor injuries. I really don’t need a checkup.”

“You were in a car accident, Dad! These are most definitely not minor injuries. You need a checkup!”

She frowned at him.

“Fine, fine. Just eat your breakfast. I’ll do the examination.”
