Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 138 It Is Up To Fate

overseas at all?Unwilling to speak any further, she turned and left the room.Willow’s expression appeared twisted when she saw Sophie walking out, but she didn’t dare to say anything.Constance entered the room swiftly.“Mom! Ask the doctor to come here immediately. I want to stand up as soon as I can!” Mason looked like he was in a hurry to stand back up again.“I’m glad you’ve finally thought things through, Mason. I always know you’ll pick yourself up again.” Constance promptly asked people to call for the doctor in charge.The doctor gave Mason a full-body check-up.“How’s the situation, doctor?” she asked worryingly.The doctor turned to them with a troubled expression.“The operation was a success, but he just can’t stand up. The situation is difficult to explain.” He had no idea what to do.Mason’s expression changed when he heard that. “What do you mean?”“I really did my best, Mr. Laird, but I’ve never seen anything like your condition before.” The doctor didn’t know what to do.Constance’s expression shifted as she spoke with dissatisfaction. “You’re just finding an excuse for your incompetence!”The doctor couldn’t figure out a way to treat Mason, but he couldn’t piss the Laird family off either, so he just kept quiet.“Is there really no way to heal me?” Mason asked with despair. I can’t stay like this!“The only person in Chanaea I can think of who can help you is the legendary doctor, Arius.” When the doctor mentioned Arius, there was an expression of admiration on his face.Arius was a Chanaean legend. He was the first and youngest person to enter the medical association.“The legendary doctor, Arius?” Constance heard that name before.In fact, many people did. However, only a few had met him before.“You can try to contact him, Mrs. Laird.” After the doctor gave his suggestion, he left.Constance immediately tried out different ways to contact Arius, but none of it worked.Concurrently, Sophie was taking Josiah to get a full-body check-up.She held on to his coat and cane as she waited outside.It would take over two hours for the check-up to conclude. Since it was the weekend, Ysabelle invited her to hang out, but she rejected it.“What are you busying about, Soph? Aren’t we good friends?” Ysabelle was feeling bored being alone.“I’m at the hospital,” Sophie replied.“What? The hospital? Why are you there? Are you sick? Why didn’t you tell me you’re sick?”“I’m not sick. I took my grandpa to the hospital for a check-up.”“I see. In that case, I’ll come and see you after you’re done.” The final exam was approaching, so Ysabelle wanted to study with her friend.“Mhm. I still have things to do, so I’ll hang up now.”When Tristan descended from upstairs, he saw Ysabelle sighing and shaking her head.“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you looking for Sophie?” He recalled she mentioned she wanted to meet with Sophie yesterday. It was why he was slightly confused as to why she was still in the house.“I don’t know what Soph has been occupied with. She doesn’t have time to see me at all! Do you know why she is so busy, Uncle Tristan?” Ysabelle asked. She may be in the hospital today, but what about the past few days?“I also don’t know what is up with her.”Both uncle and niece were feeling depressed because of the same person.Once the check-up was over, Sophie helped Josiah exit the room.“My body really is fine, Soph. There’s no need for me to do so many check-ups.” Josiah didn’t want her to worry.“It’s just a routine check-up, Grandpa. You don’t need to worry about it. I’ll send you back now.”
