Anything For Her

Being held inside Tristan’s embrace and taking in his unique scent made Sophie feel safe.

“Is your Grandpa okay?” Tristan rushed over to her location when he heard what was going on with her.

At that moment, he didn’t want to think about anything else other than protecting her and staying by her side.

“Not too good.” Sophie knew her grandfather’s condition must be serious to warrant a stay in the hospital.

She also knew how stubborn he could get due to his past experience as a soldier. He would always think his body was still fine and unwilling to admit that age was catching up.

Everything she said at that moment would be pointless.

Tristan simply grabbed her hand and comforted her. “I’ll stay here with you.”

No one has any say in the circle of life and death.

Along that way, we would go through sickness and hardships, and there was really nothing we could do about it other than endure and embrace it.

“Mr. Tristan, you don’t—”

“There’s no need to act tough all the time, Ms. Tanner.” With him around, she could act more gently.

Sophie wanted to say something, but Josiah woke up at that moment.

“Is that your friend, Soph? Since he’s here, why don’t you introduce him to me?” he asked.

Tristan stepped closer to Josiah with Sophie.

“Hello, Old Mr. Tanner. I’m Tristan.” Before Sophie could introduce him, he introduced himself.

Josiah studied the young man in front of him in detail. He’s certainly good-looking, and it seems like he’d served in the military before.

“Have you served in the army?”

“For a year,” Tristan replied.

“Good, that’s good.” Josiah tended to feel more friendly toward people who served in the military before.

“You’re Sophie’s…” He raised his eyebrow slightly. Everything about him seems pretty good, though he definitely looks older than Soph.

“He’s my classmate’s uncle.” Sophie spoke up.

“Ah, uncle!” Josiah clearly didn’t believe that.

“I’m chasing after her right now.” Tristan didn’t at all hide his intention.
