Pursuing Her

Chapter 574

Nicholas stood still in bafflement.

We don't have the kind of relationship where we can have dinner together? In that case, what is our relationship? Soon, a look of insanity welled up in his eyes.

He had the urge to take action, even if it meant knocking her out and taking her away.

With that, he rushed toward Sophie with the intention of attacking her. As the classes for the day had just ended, the street was flooded with students preparing to head out for dinner.

Coincidentally, Sandra caught up with Sophie because she had a question to ask the latter, only to see someone trying to assault her friend from behind.

Without any hesitation, she bolted toward Nicholas and grabbed his hand. “What do you think you're doing?”

The only person he cared about was Sophie, so when Sandra pulled his hand, he immediately flung her away.

Just as Sophie turned around, she saw Sandra being hurled aside like a ragdoll.

Upon witnessing that scene, the others gasped in shock.

After falling to the ground, Sandra groaned from the pain. However, her worry for Sophie prompted her to crawl over and wrap her arms around Nicholas' leg.

“I won't let you hurt Sophie as long as I'm around!” she yelled angrily.

When Nicholas looked down and saw her clinging to his leg, he tried to stomp on her with his other leg.

“Don't you dare hurt her!” Sophie roared.

At that moment, she seemed to have transformed into another person. Sandra was her friend, and she would never allow anyone to harm her.

Nicholas only stopped his movements when he heard Sophie's voice.

“She's your friend? Is she worthy of being your friend?” he questioned. Someone as weak as this girl doesn't deserve to be Sophie's friend!

Sophie went over and seized his hand, uttering, “You must have a death wish!”

Time and again, he bullies those dear to me. Does he think I'm a doormat?

“Sophie, I—” Nicholas tried to offer an explanation, but it was too late. Sophie had pulled out a scalpel from seemingly nowhere.

Her movement was too fast for him to dodge. Before he even realized it, the scalpel had cut his wrist.

Blood soon tainted his black shirt.

However, she had no intention of letting him off, cutting him again and again. Nicholas, on the other

hand, could only dodge with much struggle, as he did not want to hurt her.

Some of the bystanders were, naturally, Sophie's coursemates. They always knew she was an aloof individual, but they did not expect her to be that terrifying in combat.

The turn of events spooked Sandra too.

Although it was a fact that she was flung away by Nicholas, she did not want Sophie to kill someone for her since she was not hurt that badly.

When that thought crossed her mind, she ran over and hugged Sophie.

“I'm fine, Sophie! I really am fine. Can't you see how well I look right now?” Sandra exclaimed. Indeed, she was frightened by Sophie, but it was impossible for her to sit by and watch when her friend retaliated for her sake.

“Just leave already! Do you really wish to die?” she said to Nicholas. Huh. On a closer look, he actually looks pretty handsome. Still, what was he trying to do with Sophie?

“I—” Just as Nicholas opened his mouth, he was cut off again.

“If you desire death that much, I don't mind sending you straight down to hell right now, Nicholas Sable!” Sophie declared loudly. No one is allowed to bully the people I care about!

Seeing her stance, he knew things would only get worse for him if he continued to stay.

“I was wrong! Don't get angry anymore, okay?” Only then did he turn around and leave.

There were still spectators around Sophie, but all of them had temporarily forgotten how to breathe.

Meanwhile, Sophie turned to face Sandra. “Are you all right? Don't do anything foolish like that again! No one can hurt me!”

Sandra's an idiot too. How can she possibly be a match for Nicholas when she doesn't even know how to fight?

“Who is he, Sophie? He's so handsome!” The moment Sandra saw Nicholas' face, she felt her heart flutter.

However, their encounter was anything but lovely.

In response, Sophie held Sandra's face and spoke in a serious tone. “Sandra, the only good thing about that guy is his handsome face. His temper is obnoxiously vile. You're free to like anyone but him. Do you understand? He's my enemy!”

Sandra crimsoned.

“What are you saying? I've merely met him once, not to mention the circumstances! Why would I like him?” she refuted. It's impossible, isn't it? Besides, that man has nothing to do with me.

“I'm glad to hear that! Let me send you to the hospital right now,” Sophie proposed. Sandra is pretty delicate. It's better to get her checked by a doctor, even if she seems fine.

Immediately, Sandra shook her head. “There's no need to go to the hospital. I'm all right!”

The injuries she sustained were just some minor scrapes. It was something she could treat by herself later.

“Are you sure you're okay?” Sophie inquired.

Sandra responded with a nod before asking, “Is there a reason you were in such a hurry to leave? It's fine if you need to leave now to take care of something. I can dress my wounds by myself.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let's head to my place. I'll dress your injuries there,” Sophie offered. After all, Sandra had gotten injured because of her, so there was no way she would leave her behind.

“It's fine, really. You should leave and do whatever you need to do. I'll be going now! See you!” The moment Sandra finished her sentence, she dashed away as she did not want to hold her friend up.

Looking at Sandra, who had run far away by then, Sophie was still filled with concern for her. It was then Tristan arrived in his car.

When he spotted her, he parked the vehicle and exited it.

“What's the matter?” he asked, puzzled as to why there were so many people around.

“It's nothing serious. I merely came across a lunatic. The issue has been resolved,” Sophie replied.

In her mind, Nicholas was a lunatic who refused to listen to her.

I have to devise a plan to send Nicholas back and put him in Old Mr. Sable's care. Other people's attempts at persuading him are futile; only Old Mr. Sable can keep Nicholas on a leash!

“Lunatic? There's even a lunatic in the University of Medicine?” Tristan voiced.

“Every place has a lunatic! All right, let's get in the car and leave.” Unwilling to bring Nicholas, the degenerate, up, Sophie swiftly opened the car door and got into the vehicle.

The sight of her getting into a nice car enraged the female spectators. Their anger intensified upon seeing that the driver was more handsome than a celebrity.

“Ugh! Tell me, how am I any inferior to Sophie? Why does she always have such handsome men by her side while the only type of men around me are scumbags?” The moment the random woman finished her rant, the men around her turned their heads in her direction.

One of those men spat, “You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror when you go home today. Do you think you're in the same league as Sophie? If so, you've thought too highly of your own looks!”

She should feel lucky to have men around her at all. How does she even have the guts to disdain them?

“You!” Naturally, she was infuriated by his insult. Sophie and I are both women. Looks don't matter when the lights are switched off!

Meanwhile, in the car, Tristan asked, “I have a dinner that I can't decline. Do you mind joining me?”

“Since you've already picked me up, will you let me leave if I say I do mind?” Sophie responded with a

question.

He's already here, anyway. Besides, it's just a meal. It doesn't matter who I'm eating with. It's all the same, so why would I mind?

“Of course. If you do mind, I'll just not attend it,” he replied like a fatuous king.
