Pursuing Her

Chapter 593

Sophie merely nodded in response before leaving with Barney.

Georgina gaped in disbelief as she stood rooted to the spot. Everyone in the medical industry knew about the International Medical Association and dreamed of joining the organization.

However, it seemed like an impossible dream for someone like her.

Never had she expected to meet Barney in the hospital that day. In fact, he was her biggest idol! He was the legend of the medical industry!

Meanwhile, Sophie and Barney arrived at Arius' ward.

Arius was in rather good spirits. When he saw Barney, he waved with a smile before greeting, “Dr. Smith, you're finally here! If you had taken any longer to come, you might not have been able to see me!”

“Alas! I'm so disappointed in you. How could you have fallen ill during such a crucial time?” Barney found himself at a loss for words. Maybe I have not taught him well enough!

Arius smiled in resignation.

“I didn't want that to happen either! It's all your fault for not teaching me well! Anyway, Sophie, I heard that you have already found the pathogen. Good luck, and hang in there! I've saved you so many times. Now, it's finally your turn to save me.”

The man did not want to suffer from any side effects.

“Don't worry. Evil people usually get to live a long time.” I won't let anything bad happen to him.

“Dr. Smith, I'm really fine. You guys should get back to work.” Arius knew that they were busy and did not want them to waste time on him. “I've noted down the changes in my body over the past two days. Hopefully, it will be of some use to you.”

As a doctor, Arius knew what changes to look out for, and as such, his notes would certainly help in the research.

“Thanks! How can you still be in the mood to do such things when you are barely even surviving?” Sophie said casually as she took over the notebook.

Arius was rendered speechless.

“What are you talking about? I'm in the prime of my life. I'm not going to die so easily.” That's simply not possible.

On the way back to the laboratory, Barney told Sophie about his encounter with Tristan in Anglandur, and Sophie could not help but worry.

Although she knew Tristan's purpose for being there, she still found it too dangerous.

“Dr. Smith, why don't you go in first? I need to make a call.” Thankfully, I have my phone with me.

“Okay.” Barney entered the laboratory first, knowing very well who Sophie was going to call.

Sophie dialed Tristan's number while leaning against the wall.

It had been ages since she last saw him.

That was the longest time the couple had been apart, and Sophie found herself missing the man.

“Why are you in Anglandur? I've already told you that I can handle the virus on my own.” It's too dangerous for him to be in Anglandur now!

When Tristan saw Sophie's name on the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat.

He had not heard from her in a long while and had been feeling very worried. He could finally feel more at ease after receiving her call.

“How can I let you fight the battle all by yourself? I want to be able to do something for you. Don't worry. I will take care of myself. You have to promise me that you will be careful not to get infected with the virus too.”

That was Tristan's greatest fear.

“I know. Tristan, I miss you so much.” Sophie switched her phone to her other hand and continued, “Remember what you just promised. You have to protect and take care of yourself. If you end up getting hurt, I will be really angry!”

“Okay. I will. You too! I will be so mad at you if you contract the virus.”

Both of them could not stop worrying about each other.

However, faced with the current situation, neither of them could back down.

All they could do was work hard separately, and the same time, protect themselves so that they would not end up breaking the other person's heart.

“All right. I have to get back to work now.” Sophie hung up after saying that. It was impossible to express everything they wanted to tell each other in just a few words.

Tristan only realized that the call had ended when he heard the beeping sound of the phone and snapped back to his senses.

Sean gave a comforting pat on Tristan's shoulder when he saw the look on the man's face and said, “Don't worry! Sophie is a smart woman. She knows how to protect herself.”

Tristan let out a sigh.

Words were simply useless during times like that. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The only way to help Sophie was to find out who the mastermind was.

That was their priority at the moment, and nothing else mattered.

It had been a long time since the four of them had tried to solve a problem together. They could find a solution to anything as long as they combined forces.

“By the way, Nicholas is back!” Felix had just received the news. “He has been waiting for an opportunity to attack you. We need to be careful of him.”

“He can bring it on if he has the guts to do that. There is still one score that I haven't settled with him yet.” How dare he try to snatch my girl from me!

Let me teach him a good lesson.

“No matter what, we are still in Anglandur. It's better for us to be more careful.” One would never be able to win without the home advantage.

The Sable family had its roots in Anglandur and considerable influence there. They could easily kill someone if they wanted to.

Meanwhile, the entire Jipsdale had fallen into chaos. Everyone was already aware of the virus and was fearing for their lives.

At the same time, many medical experts gathered at Central Hospital. They had gotten news that Barney was there and had willingly offered to work under the man.

Everyone was working hard on their respective tasks, and the research was going smoothly.

Barney was amazed by Sophie's talents after working with her for the past few days. Previously, he had thought that the woman was a genius surgeon.

However, he did not expect her to be so proficient in DNA sequencing as well.

After seeing that, he was even more convinced that his decision to come to Chanaea was right.

Feeling worried that Sophie was looking rather pale, Barney poured the woman a glass of water.

“Thank you,” Sophie said as she accepted the glass.

“Sophie, you are so noble!” She had experienced things other girls her age would not have experienced. More importantly, when faced with such problems, she was able to deal with them so level-headedly. That was truly impressive.

Sophie took a sip of water. She was relieved that their research was finally making some good headway.

When she heard the compliment from Barney, she could not resist letting out a chuckle.

“I'm not noble at all. I'm doing this because I have faith in both myself and Chanaea.” That was the reason she had stayed on and persevered.

Barney shook his head.

“No. You are indeed noble. You're only nineteen, but you have already experienced things that most people wouldn't even get to experience in their entire lifetimes!” Besides, those experiences would put her in very good stead in life. Barney continued sincerely, “Everything you have done is already enough to allow you to leave a legacy in the medical community.”

She is only nineteen, yet she has already achieved so much. It's exciting just to think about how bright this girl's future will be.

“That's not what I'm after!” Sophie had never cared about fame or accolades.

“Sophie, I know that you are capable, but you have to know that life and death are a part of the natural life cycle.” Barney was worried that the girl would not be able to accept it when she heard about her grandfather's current condition.
