seeing eye candy every now and then?“What else do you have in that brain of yours? How embarrassing would it be if someone saw you ogling at him like that?”Willow fell silent.“Your grandfather called him ‘Tanny’! What sort of man worth his weight in gold would ever allow someone else to call him that so casually? Looks are nothing in the end. Power and privilege are what really matters.”That man did look rather intimidating, but Charmaine didn’t think of Sophie as someone who could be in the company of anyone with power.“Okay, I get it. I won’t do it again.”She’s right! This is the Laird family we’re talking about, the family of everyone’s dreams. If Mrs. Laird didn’t assume I had saved Mason, I would never have gotten this chance!“Good. Mrs. Laird invited us to dinner tonight. Come back earlier, okay? I’ll take you to get dolled up.”She would only be counted as a member of the upper class society if she managed to get on good terms with the Laird family.–Sophie poured a glass of water for Josiah, and he drank a big gulp.“Soph, I’m really okay. You should be spending your time in school studying, not in this hospital.”“Don’t worry as it’s lunchtime now.”“That’s even more important. You should rest too.”“Okay then. I’ll be going now. You should rest too, okay?”Sophie didn’t tell Josiah that she was going to talk to a doctor.Since he didn’t want her to know, then she would pretend that she didn’t know anything.“We’ll be heading off now, Mr. Tanner.” Tristan waved at Josiah.“Go ahead! Don’t worry, there are a lot of people taking care of me here.”Tristan and Sophie arrived at the specialist’s office where more than ten specialists were already waiting.“Hello, Mr. Tristan.”The director bowed respectfully when he saw Tristan.“What exactly is wrong with Mr. Tanner?” Tristan asked directly.“We’ve already done a full scan for Mr. Tanner. The reason behind his fainting is because there were still bullet fragments in his brain.”It was probably a mistake on the doctor’s part and had most likely been left behind during the surgery.Sophie closed her eyes. She was extremely interested in medicine and the director’s rough explanation was already more than enough for her to imagine.“What’s your plan?” Tristan hated seeing that expression on her face.“The only solution is surgery, but due to the location of the fragments being extremely unique, it will be a highly risky surgery. The important thing is that there haven’t been any doctors in the country who have been willing to do such a surgery.”The surgery was an extremely detailed one and highly depended on the chief surgeon. There were barely any doctors across the world who dared to do such a surgery, let alone in the country.“So you’re saying you guys don’t have a plan?” Tristan said, clearly agitated.The director fell silent, not daring to speak. Almost everything could be settled by hard work, but surgeries were something that no one dared to experiment on.“Okay, I understand. Please leave us alone for now,” Sophie finally said.All the doctors sighed in relief. They were all terrified of facing Tristan’s wrath.“Don’t worry. I’ll find another specialist.”“There’s no need for that.”“Sophie…”Tristan never knew how to comfort others. He felt as if anything he said would be useless in this situation.“I’m fine.”She couldn’t change the fact that there were no doctors in the country who could do it, but that didn’t mean it was impossible after all.“I’ve already contacted Arius,” she continued.Arius was famous in Chanaea as the youngest doctor in the world who made groundbreaking contributions to the field of medical science.“Arius Gullifer?”Tristan had heard that name once, but he never thought that Sophie would be able to get him.He was actually already thinking of contacting Arius, but it seemed like she had beaten him to it.The first time they met,
