Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 152 Good Luck

things discreetly, my child. Don’t you know that’s why you tend to suffer the most?”You should learn from Willow. Be more of a sweet talker, and others will feel bad for you. Isn’t that better for you?As Josiah was going to undergo the surgery, he had to be admitted to the hospital for prior observation.Josiah summoned the butler and had the latter pack up for him.“Old Mr. Tanner, are you really going to undergo the surgery?” The only one who knew about Josiah’s condition other than Sophie was the butler.“That’s enough. You just need to know that I’ll be undergoing the surgery. Pack up. We’ll be going to the hospital with Sophie.”“The rate of success for this surgery is too low.” The butler knew that he should not be saying those things to Josiah, but he could not bring himself to feign ignorance after working for Josiah for so many years.A minor mistake by the surgeon, and Josiah would die on the operating table. After all, he was no longer as sturdy as when he was younger.“As long as Soph’s happy, I won’t have any regrets even if I die.”The butler did not know how to respond to that. He knew that Josiah had always dotted on Sophie, but he never thought that Josiah would still heed Sophie even when it came to matters of life and death.After packing up, Josiah led the butler down the stairs while Sophie went into her room to get some things before coming back out.When Charmaine saw the suitcase in Josiah’s hands, she instantly stood up and asked, “Dad, where are you going? Didn’t the doctor ask you to stay at home?”“I’ll be staying at one of my comrades’ place for a while.” Josiah did not want to reveal too much about his surgery. He felt that it was better for them not to know about it.“Dad, where are you going? No matter where you want to go, you should wait for Yale to come back and send you. If you go out by yourself now, he’ll surely blame me once he comes home.”Charmaine could not wrap her mind around what Sophie had said to Josiah to convince him to leave.“No need to. You just have to settle the matters at home. You don’t need to intervene in my personal affairs.”If Yale finds out about this, he’ll surely kick up a fuss.Josiah then went out with Sophie. When Tristan saw them, he quickly came out of the car.“You haven’t left?”“No, I’ve been waiting for you here. Old Mr. Tanner, come on into the car.” Frankly, Tristan did not even know where Sophie was taking Josiah, but he was going to help the elderly man into the car anyway.Josiah was visibly happy when he saw Tristan.“Tanny, didn’t I ask you to visit me at the Tanner residence? Why didn’t you come?” Josiah grumbled.Tristan did not excuse himself. Instead, he only smiled and replied, “Sorry. I was too busy courting Sophie, so I didn’t have time to come here and visit you. Old Mr. Tanner, please forgive me for that.”Then, he helped Josiah into the car.Josiah was smiling the entire way as he thought, Tanny seems like a decent guy. Maybe he’ll be a suitable candidate to take care of Sophie if I’m gone.“You’ve been courting Soph since forever. I wish you all the best. I think you’re good for her,” Josiah encouraged.“Okay, Old Mr. Tanner. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best! I’ll win over your dear granddaughter and make sure she won’t ever feel upset.”Tristan was a
