Pursuing Her

Chapter 591

“Sophie, aren't you a medical student? Don't you know what will happen if one gets infected with this virus?”

No one had any way to deal with the situation so far.

Is she trying to court death?

However, Sophie was annoyed with Nicholas' nosiness. She was busy, and she did not have time to waste her breath on him.

“You can leave now; you don't need to waste your time here. Regardless of everything, I won't leave with you.”

Not before, and not ever. It's impossible.

“No. No matter what you have in your mind, I'll be taking you away today.” Nicholas was in love with her, so there was no way he was going to sit back and just watch things happen to her.

Just as Georgina returned from her meal, she saw the intruding Nicholas.

“Sophie, who is he?” Georgina admired Sophie greatly. Hence, upon seeing her in a standoff against a man, she chose to be on Sophie's side despite how intimidating the man seemed.

“No one important. Ignore him and keep working,” Sophie said, for they had taken much effort to finally find a lead.

They had to find out a way to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

The possible damage that would be caused by the quick-spreading virus was something they could not begin to imagine.

Georgina nodded and went back to her work.

However, Nicholas still refused to see Sophie walk into her own grave, so he said, “I don't care. I'm going to take you away from here today. It doesn't matter, even if you blame me for this in the future.”

I'm not like Tristan. Tristan is capable of not caring whether she lives or dies, but I can't. No one else's life matters to me. The only one who matters is Sophie.

While Nicholas was lost in his thoughts, Sophie turned around and gave the man disturbing her work a shot.

“What did you just inject me with?” Nicholas cried out in a panic. He had come to take her away, but now, he was even losing control of his own body.

“Georgina, make the call and have them take him away,” Sophie instructed. Their work had to be completed as hastily as possible, and Sophie did not have the time to keep talking to him.

“All right.” Georgina instantly took Sophie's phone to make the call.

Both Georgina and Sophie needed a phone to contact the outside world while they worked in the lab, and as Arius was sick, the higher-ups returned Sophie's phone to Sophie.

Meanwhile, Alex, who had been waiting outside the entire time, was startled to see Nicholas getting carried out.

Immediately, he ordered a few men to snatch Nicholas over.

If anything were to happen to Nicholas, they would all be doomed because Javier would never let them off the hook for the matter.

Right then, a conflict broke out outside, and a gunfight ensued.

Georgina leaped in fright when she heard the gunshots, but when she lifted her head to look at Sophie, she was stunned to see the other woman still calmly working.

It was as if the outside world had nothing to do with her. At that, Georgina could not help but think, This girl's too mentally strong. She's unfazed by everything that happens around her.

“Focus, Georgina,” Sophie reminded.

It was only then Georgina snapped back to her senses.

Right, I'm here to help Sophie. This attitude of mine won't do. We have to bear the responsibility for these infected people.

In the meantime, Alex and his men had gotten Nicholas back.

After making sure that Nicholas was fine, Alex promptly contacted Javier and arranged Nicholas' trip

back to Anglandur.

By the time Nicholas woke up, he was already on the plane back to Anglandur.

When he looked at Alex, he had a scowl on his face.

“Who told you to act without my permission? Do you know what you're doing?” Nicholas screamed.

Alex hastily went down on a knee.

“Mr. Nicholas, everything was my decision. No one else had anything to do with this. If you want to punish someone, please punish me alone.”

Simultaneously, Alex was thinking, Chanaea's in such a perilous situation right now. What if Mr. Nicholas gets infected with the virus there?

However, Nicholas grabbed Alex's collar and hissed, “Alex Sable, are you challenging me continuously because you think I won't be able to bring myself to kill you?”

Alex stared into his eyes and replied, “Mr. Nicholas, you should know that everything I've done so far is for your sake. Sophie has never been one to show you mercy, so why do you still care about her now?”

The one Nicholas had fallen for was a woman who would never love him back. To Alex, Nicholas' persistence was almost laughable.

“You—” Nicholas fumed. “I don't want to hear you anymore. Men, throw him off!”

He had given enough opportunities to Alex. He was not going to give him any more. “Also, have the pilot turn around and return to Chanaea!”

There was no way Nicholas was going to leave Sophie there by herself. He had to take her with him.

However, everyone in the plane went down on one knee.

“Mr. Nicholas, Alex is doing this for you, so please spare him!” one of them pleaded. Furthermore, no one was willing to go to Jipsdale at a time like this.

Nicholas narrowed his eyes.

“Mr. Nicholas, I have news from reliable sources. Tristan is in Anglandur. If you want to kill him, now is the chance!”

Everything they did would be far easier if they were in Anglandur.

“Tristan?” Nicholas arched a brow. Sophie's aloof demeanor toward me is all because of Tristan. If this man dies, everything will resolve itself! “Good. I hope you're not lying to me, or else I'll feed you to the dogs!”

With that, Nicholas finally lay back down.

“Keep a close eye on Sophie and make sure she stays perfectly safe,” Nicholas said to his men.

In the meantime, Tristan and the others arrived at Anglandur. The place they stayed was the same manor they previously lived in.

The old butler knew about what happened in the country too, so he was worried when he saw that Sophie was not with them.

Too fearful to ask Tristan anything, the butler went to Felix instead.

“Mr. Northley, where's Ms. Tanner? Why isn't she with you? It's so dangerous in the country right now. You should have brought her along with you!”

Felix was surprised to find out that the old butler still remembered Sophie.

“She has something important to work on in the country, that's why. Don't worry. She'll be fine,” Felix answered.

She's well-liked. She hasn't known this butler for long, right? I'm shocked that the butler actually remembers her and is worried about her.

“Oh, I see,” the butler muttered despondently. Right then, they located Barney's position.

“Mr. Tristan, you don't need to go. I can head there myself.” All they needed was to take Barney away, and it was something Charles could do by himself.

However, Tristan glanced at him and shook his head.

“I'll do this myself.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Barney was the only one who could make the elderly man stay for a little longer. Furthermore, Barney

would be able to assist Sophie if he were to go to Chanaea.

That night, a group of top-notch assassins sneaked into Barney's cell.

The moment those assassins located Barney, they immediately reported to their boss. Then, a handsome man came in a helicopter.

Barney had seen Tristan before, so he knew who the newcomer was. At the sight of Tristan, he let out a sigh of relief.
