Anything For Her

“F*ck it!” Arius cursed under his breath. Tristan is savage! He’s declaring war, huh? ”Tristan, do you seriously think I’m afraid of you? Let me tell you. I…”

Hearing his yells, Tristan opened the door and stared at him without a word.

Arius rubbed his nose awkwardly and pretended to glance at someone else in the corridor before leaving silently.

Fine. I’m not as strong as Tristan. I didn’t forget how Tristan beat me up back then. Why am I this unlucky to run into someone as savage as Tristan? I, Arius Gullifer, am the most capable doctor in the medical association!

Huh, what is it with my ass luck?

After he left, Tristan shut the door and turned to see Sophie staring at him wordlessly.

He shrugged. “I didn’t say anything. He was too noisy.”

“Mm, you’re right. He’s quite talkative,” Sophie admitted.

“Do you like men who are talkative?” Tristan asked suddenly. If she nods, I’ll have to figure out a way to make Arius disappear.

However, Sophie shook her head. “No.”

Tristan was satisfied with her response.

The surgery was going to be held at nine in the morning. After snowing the whole night, the sky was clear. Sophie woke up really early morning to chat with Josiah.

She didn’t talk much, for Josiah did most of the talking. However, she wanted to spend more time with him.

Suddenly, Josiah fell silent.

Sophie glanced at him curiously. The surgery is about to begin soon. Is he worried?

“Soph, come here!” Josiah said solemnly. Sophie had never seen him that serious before.

She went to him obediently and took his hand.
