Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 863 Are You All Right

Sophie arrived while both of them were speaking. Simon then handed her the other cup of milkshake.

“Will you be okay with the assessment?” Although Simon was also feeling anxious, he—as a man—couldn't show it, unlike Sandra.

“Don't worry. I'm confident I'll pass.” Sophie took the milkshake in her hands, poked the straw in, and sipped it.

Mmm, it's my favorite flavor.

“How are both of you settling in at the medical association? A month has passed since you started.”

“We're good, Sophie. I really like it there. It would be fantastic if we can join them once we graduate,” Sandra replied excitedly. She was well aware that Sophie was the reason she could enter the Chanaean Medical Association in the first place.

Nevertheless, they still had to rely on themselves for the assessment.

“I'm sure you can do it.” Sophie had invited Sandra for the internship due to the potential she saw in the latter.

“That's right! You've made significant progress recently, Sandra. I'm sure you'll be able to pass with flying colors.”

“What about you, Simon? What are your plans?” Sophie inquired.

“Of course I want to join the medical association too. They have Barney and Professor Gullifer working there, after all!” These men are the paragons of the medical industry and Dad's idols. Dad would be ecstatic if I were to have the opportunity to work with them.

“Mmm-hmm. Keep up the good work then,” Sophie encouraged them with a smile. When she saw the twinkle in their eyes, Sophie knew that she had made the right call.

Even though the Chanaean Medical Association had some way to go before catching up with the International Medical Association, she was confident the gap could be closed with all of them there.

Ever since Sophie's return, she had yet to visit the medical association. Thus, it was her intention to drop by and see how Georgina was doing.

Since Simon and Sandra still had class, they couldn't go with her. No sooner had Sophie come out than she saw a familiar silhouette.

She then walked over and stood by Caleb's side.

“Are you here to see me?” Sophie asked. Since Caleb wasn't from the medical faculty even in the past, the reason he was there was clear.

“Mmm-hmm. I'm here to see you.” Caleb was aware that his sister was never a talkative person.

Despite finally coming back from Anglandur after so long, she never returned to the Tanner residence. It was as if she had no intention of doing so anymore.

“Come home for dinner tonight if you're free.”

Considering the chaotic situation Anglandur was in now, Caleb had no plans to go back after this. After all, with the qualifications he obtained in Anglandur, he was highly sought after in Jipsdale.

“I'm busy.” Her home was no longer what it was since Josiah's death. Going back would only upset others and herself at the same time. Thus, she didn't see the point in doing so.

Caleb's brows furrowed in response.

“Sophie, we're still a family no matter what. Just let bygones be bygones.”

With her current capabilities, there's no need to be bitter about the past.

“Stop patronizing me, Caleb. I can decide on my own affairs. I don't need someone else to tell me what to do,” Sophie retorted before turning to leave.

“Sophie, we're family. Can we really not go back to the way things were?” Doesn't she already have control of Tanner Group? What more does she want? Is it really necessary to take such a harsh stance?

Sophie didn't even spare him a glance as she replied, “I think everything is great now. I'm not bothered by those I dislike and have no desire to see them.”

With that, she hopped into a taxi and left.

Caleb was confused by her response.

I really don't understand her. It's true that she had suffered a lot previously and there were plenty of misunderstandings. However, hasn't Willow been punished for her actions? Why does she insist on harboring such resentment?

When Caleb finally came home after spending some time outside, Charmaine heaved a sigh at the sight of him.

“Caleb, didn't I tell you not to waste any more time on Sophie? She won't appreciate what you're doing.”

That ruthless girl has no respect for anyone. He should just give up on her.

“Mom, from now on, you should treat Sophie better!”

Feeling helpless, Caleb thought that he had to do something. Unfortunately, all the hurt and bad blood would not be erased by just a few words.

His retort rendered Charmaine speechless. What's the point of treating her better? She's not going to be grateful for it anyway.

Meanwhile, Willow had learned about Sophie's impending assessment from the internet. The fact that the latter was about to jump grades blew her mind.

In contrast to the past when she never held her younger sister in high regard, she was now afraid of offending Sophie.

All she could do was secretly hope Sophie would somehow fail.

We're all daughters of the Tanner family, so why does she get all the glory? That was the reason Willow kept herself updated with news about Sophie.

She continued to pray hard for the day Sophie would just drop dead.

Upon Sophie's arrival at the medical association, Arius shook his head after finding out about her assessment.
