Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 48 Delicate Skin

about it and called Tristan.“Where are you, Mr. Tristan?” he asked the moment Tristan picked up the call.If I do Tristan a favor now, he’ll also help me in the future! I still have a long way to go to win Ysabelle over!“At the Lombard residence. What’s the matter?” Tristan was having his breakfast at that moment and had an urgent meeting to attend not long after.“Sophie is sick, and she should be alone in Wisteria Apartments right now!”“Got it.”“Girls are the easiest to win over when they are sick, Mr. Tristan. I’ll await your good news. I’m rooting for you!”Tristan could not be bothered to listen to Felix’s nonsense and promptly hung up.William, who was doing yoga in the courtyard, could not help but frown when he saw Tristan walking out.“It’s the weekend, and you’re still going out?”“Mhm. Something came up.”After saying that, Tristan went to the underground garage and drove his silver Lamborghini to Wisteria Apartments. On the way, he also bought Sophie some chicken noodle soup from The Crown.Upon reaching Wisteria Apartments, Tristan rang the doorbell, but no one came to the door. In the end, he could only open the door himself.Once inside, he discovered Sophie lying on the couch, looking flushed.Tristan placed the bag down and crouched beside the couch.“Wake up, Sophie. I’ll take you to the hospital.”As soon as Sophie opened her eyes, she was met with a close-up view of Tristan’s face.“Has anyone told you that you’re extremely handsome, Mr. Tristan?”Sophie seemed to be delirious as she reached out to touch Tristan’s face.He froze for a moment. Am I, a mature man of twenty-eight, being teased by an eighteen-year-old girl?“Such delicate skin.” Sophie’s hand gently stroked his face.For a moment, Tristan wanted nothing more than to pounce on the daring girl.However, as soon as he touched her forehead, he immediately came to his senses.The girl is running a high fever right now! How can I have such an outrageous thought?“I’m taking you to the hospital.” Tristan picked her up, intending to get her to change into a new set of clothes, but she shook her head.“I’m fine. I don’t need to go there. I never go to the hospital when I’m sick.”“All right. We won’t if you don’t want to.” After all, he could still get his private doctor to come over.After placing her on the bed, he immediately called the doctor.“Have you had breakfast yet?”It’s past ten o’clock now. Judging from her condition, she probably hasn’t had breakfast yet.Sophie shook her head.“I have no appetite.” At that moment, she did not feel like eating anything and just wanted to sleep. “Go back, Mr. Tristan. I’ll be fine after a nap. It’s like this every time.”It was the same when she was in Horington. She had never cared about colds and fevers.“I’m very angry now, Sophie. You’d better behave yourself.”“What’s there to be angry about when I’m sick? If you think it’s troublesome, you can leave now. No one is keeping you here.”It’s not as though I told him to come over. Who does he think he is? What right does he have to get mad at me?Hearing her response, Tristan’s anger instantly vanished.“Sorry for my poor behavior. Be good and have some chicken noodle soup.”Sophie harrumphed.“Come on. Be a good girl and have some chicken noodle soup.”Seeing that Tristan had given in, Sophie also did not stay angry and allowed him to feed her some chicken noodle soup.Dr. Zimmerman came over and gave her some cold and fever medicine. He then left after giving some instructions.By then, Sophie had fallen asleep.Tristan brought a cup of warm water over and placed it on the bedside table. He then sat on the bed and helped her up to lean against his body.Sophie was jolted awake.“What are you doing?”“Take your medicine.”Tristan showed her the medicine in his hand.“Open up.”Sophie could not help but frown upon seeing the pills. Those white pills scared her the most as she could tell from one look that they were bitter.“Can I say no?” To be honest, she was not afraid of knives and guns. However, she did not like taking medicine.“No. If you refuse, I’ll feed you with my mouth.”If her high fever persists, she’ll become even more delirious!Sophie glared at him as though he was her mortal enemy.“Seems like you’re looking forward to
