Chapter 952
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
Chapter 952 Send Winter Home
âIâve already considered every possible method, Mr. Tristan, but we still canât find him,â said Bertram.
âIâm going out in a while. Do you want to come with me, Tristan?â Sophie asked.
âYes.â
He was going to follow her wherever she went. Even though she was a capable person, they were in
Fandar, a place of chaos.
If even someone like Felix could disappear there, there was no way Tristan could ever let Sophie roam
the place on her own.
âDonât worry. Weâll find him,â Sophie comforted the man. He must be feeling awful. Itâs his good friend,
after all.
âI know.â
âWhere are you going, Ms. Tanner? Iâll drive you there,â offered Bertram. Things were too messed up at
the place. Moreover, Bertram was more familiar with the area since he had been living there for some
time.
âItâs okay. I need you to stay here to take care of Ysabelle for me. Donât let her run around wherever
she wants,â Sophie instructed. At that moment. Ysabelle was like a delicate little bunny. Danger would
be upon her if she went out.
âAll right. Donât worry, Ms. Tanner. Iâll take good care of her,â promised Bertram, nodding firmly.
Soon, Sophie found a picture of Felix on her phone. She made a few copies of it and went out with
Tristan.
âWhere are we going?â asked Tristan.
He had no clue where Sophie wanted to go.
âTo find someone. Relax. I love you, so I wonât sell you off, Sophie joked to lighten the moo
âOkay.â
Tristan knew why she was doing what she was doing, but he could not dismiss the heavy feeling heart.
In fact, he would not be able to relax as long as Felix was not found.
When the car arrived at a remote area, Sophie made a call and waited in the car. In the meantime, she
rolled down the car windows and watched the children outside. The fear of war was palpable in their ey
No ordinary citizen in the world liked wars because the devastation they wrought was too great.
More importantly, they were still children, and many had already died in such a high-tech war before
they could even experience what it was like to grow up.
Tristan, too, stared at the children outside.
âKids born in this area are really pitiful.â Not a single kid dared to approach the car.
âMm⦠Maybe we can help them.â Only when the horrible humans stopped wreaking havoc there would
the children live to see the future.
However, that could only be done after Felix was found.
âIâll be with you no matter what you want to do. Just donât abandon me.â
Indeed, he was willing to do anything for her.
Right then, an old man in tattered clothes approached their car.
When Sophie caught sight of the elderly man, she stepped out of the car and walked over to him.
âMs. Tanner, is there something you need?â The elderly man eyed her with immense respect.
âItâs like this. I want you to help me find this man. Once you have news about him, Iâll need you to send
someone to report to us at this address.â
While saying that, Sophie handed the photograph to the elderly man.
Accepting the photograph, Arthur Camidge said, âAll right, Ms. Tanner. Donât worry. Weâll do our best to
fulfill your request.â
The two conversed using the local language, which surprised Tristan.
He had no idea Sophie was fluent in that language. Did she come to Fandar in the past?
âThank you in advance,â said Sophie. That was one of the ways to find someone in a poor and
backward place.
Arthur knew everyone from all over Fandar. He was like the leader of a gang from the past.
Only when the elderly man walked away with the photograph did Sophie return to the car.
âWhat is it? Do you have questions?â she asked Tristan upon seeing his confused face.
âHow are you able to speak the language here? Did you come here before?â he queried. Wasnât she
always in Jipsdale and Horington?
âI came here once in the past.â Thus, Sophie briefly explained her time there, which was when she got
to know Arthur.
âI see.â Tristan did not press on, for he figured she did not have a good experience here.
âIâve asked him to help us find Felix. Heâll go to the base if he has any news.â
âOkay. Looks like youâre acquainted with many big shots, Sophie. Youâre so famous even in a place like
Fandar.â
Tristan was impressed by his wife.
âItâs nothing, really. The most powerful one I know by far is sitting right beside me,â said Sophie with a
chuckle. âCome on. Letâs go back.â
She was worried about Ysabelle being alone at the base.
Upon arriving at the base, Sophie and Tristan saw an extremely disheveled-looking Winter outside.
Despite Fandar being in such chaos, she still could not return to her home country.
The moment she saw Tristan, she burst into tears.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Tristan. I know I was wrong. Please let me return to Jipsdale! Itâs too scary here. I donât
want to die yet!â
Winter had tried calling Charles, but her brother did not answer. She could not help but wonder if she
was truly such a disappointment to the family.
A frown etched itself between Tristanâs brows the moment he saw her. Why is she here?
âIâm begging you, Mr. Tristan! I wonât show up in front of you ever again! Please let me go back!â
Winter truly regretted it. Life in Fandar was a living hell. She lived in fear every day, feeling as if she
could die from a gunshot anytime.
âEnough. Send her back already.â Sophie did not like seeing people cry, not to mention the woman
crying was Charlesâ younger sister.
Winter cast Sophie a conflicted gaze.
This woman really has a huge influence on Mr. Tristan. All this time, I thought he was just toying with
her. Turns out heâs sincere about the relationship.
âShouldnât you be thanking Ms. Tanner? Where are your manners?â Tristan could not say no when
Sophie had already spoken up.
However, his words put Winter in a dilemma.
After all, Winter was asked to thank Sophie, the woman she had never liked.
âWhatâs wrong? You donât want to? Sure. You can continue staying in Fandar, then.â Tristan could not
be bothered to waste another second on an unreasonable woman.
âThank you, Ms. Tanner,â Winter forced out.
âMm.â
Sophic did not so much as glance at Winter. The only reason she asked Tristan to send Winter back
was that the latter had a great brother. In other words, Sophie was doing it for Charlesâ sake.
âLetâs go in.â
Tristan wrapped an arm around Sophieâs shoulder without sparing Winter another glance. Meanwhile,
the latter entered the base hurriedly.
The refugees out there were too scary. Winter did not want to stay out there a second longer.
As soon as Sophie entered the base, she saw Bertram discussing something with his subordinates.
His eyes lit up at the sight of the couple as if he had seen his savior.
Bertram and his men were at a loss for what to do.
âWhatâs wrong? Did something happen?â Sophie had never seen that look on Bertramâs face before.
âI think Ms. Lombard isnât used to the food here. She refuses to eat anything. All she does is watch the
surveillance footage.â
Bertram was aware of Ysabelleâs relationship with Felix. Thus, he understood what she was going
through when he saw her in such a state.
âOkay. Iâll check on her.â
While Sophie went into the technical department, Tristan stayed outside.
âBertram, get someone to send Ms. Quigley back.â Tristan ordered.
