Pursuing Her

Chapter 692

The man in the black T-shirt was downright petrified. He had worked for Nicholas for quite some time and knew Sophie's importance to the man. Not daring to take things lightly, he immediately gave Nicholas a call.

Glancing around, Arius ascertained that no one was around before whipping out a small syringe and jabbing it into the man's neck without warning.

“What are you...”

Arius struck at lightning speed, so fast that the man in the black T-shirt hadn't any time to react.

The substance in the syringe was meant to make someone's body stiff and rob the person of mobility.

For that reason, the man in the black T-shirt was still cognizant of everything around him but lacked the ability to speak or move.

“Let me give you some advice, young man! You're still in the prime of your life, so you've got to choose a good boss, you know? Nicholas is evil to the core. There's no future in working for someone like him.”

While speaking, Arius unhurriedly took the phone out of the man's hand.

Then, he added, “You'd best leave quickly when this matter is over. Otherwise, you'd be dead before you even know it. I'm truly warning you out of the kindness of my heart.”

After saying all that, he circumvented the surveillance cameras and went back into the room.

Only when he had done so did he remember that he had forgotten Tristan's phone number.

Nonetheless, he was too embarrassed to admit it.

It's just ten digits, yet I can't remember them. Ugh! It'd be pretty mortifying for me to confess to that.

“What's wrong? You've already gotten a phone, so hurry up and make the call!” Barney couldn't help urging. Once we're discovered, it'd be too late!

“I don't remember Tristan's phone number anymore.” Arius gazed at Sophie helplessly.

At that, Sophie couldn't resist scoffing. “What's the use of you? You're a genius doctor, yet you can't even remember a phone number!”

“Let me tell you this, Sophie! You can't forget yourself! Who am I here for? Besides, who is Tristan to me? Why must I remember his phone number?” Is that even necessary?

Subsequently, Sophie recited ten digits.

Arius instantly went over and made the call.

No sooner was the call connected than Tristan questioned urgently, “How's Sophie? Hand the phone to her.”

Arius fell silent, promptly rendered speechless.

Still, he handed the phone to Sophie.

“Are you okay, Sophie? Did he do anything to you?” Whenever Tristan encountered something about Sophie, he was always too anxious to remain clear-headed.

“I miss you, Tristan.”

Verily, Sophie knew she shouldn't be saying such a thing right then. Instead, she needed to resolve the issue as soon as possible. However, she still couldn't stop herself from doing so upon hearing the man's voice.

When Tristan heard that, his emotions surged within him.

“Don't worry! I'll never allow him to take you away!” Tristan snarled. Truth be told, he was utterly sick of Nicholas.

It had been several times, but the latter simply wouldn't give up and persisted in challenging his bottom line repeatedly.

“Yeah, I believe you! I think we can try this...”

In no time, Sophie told him all about her plan. Considering her current state, she couldn't do anything alone and required Tristan's cooperation.

“Okay. Got it.” They had a tacit understanding between them, for right after Sophie had prefaced her idea, Tristan discerned her meaning. “Wait for me. We'll be able to meet soon.”

It won't take long to get everything ready.

“Okay, got it. I'll wait for you here.”

Both of them trusted each other unwaveringly.

“All right, make it quick. I've still got to return the phone. We'll be dead if someone else finds out about this.”

I know their love runs deep, but this is really not the time for a public display of affection.

“Be careful in everything. Nicholas is intent on killing you.” After all, Nicholas detested Tristan as much as the latter despised him.

As long as they had a chance, both would kill the other without an ounce of hesitation.

“Don't worry! The most important thing you've got to do right now is to take good care of yourself.”

She has sustained such severe injuries, yet she has to worry about so many other things.

“All right. I'll be hanging up, then. Nicholas can't be allowed to find out about this. Otherwise, everything would be in vain.”

Having hung up the phone, Tristan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ultimately, he knew that Nicholas wouldn't hurt Sophie for real.

However, uneasiness lingered within him when he hadn't heard her voice for himself.

Now that he had verified that she was fine, he could rest easy.

“Does Sophie have a plan?” No matter what the strategy was, Felix and the others would give their utmost cooperation.

Ever since Sophie was captured, Ysabelle had been down in the dumps as she blamed herself for the fact that the former got injured.

Therefore, they were determined to get Sophie back no matter the price.

“Yeah. Let's go! Make the necessary preparations. This time, I want Nicholas' life.” I want him to pay a hefty price for daring to take Sophie away at such a dangerous juncture!

“Okay.”

Felix had no objections, willing to do anything at all when it was something related to Tristan.

Upon learning that Felix and the others were setting out to save Sophie, Ysabelle rang Felix up. At the sight of her conflicted expression, Felix burst into laughter.

“All right, we're going to bring Sophie back now. She's fine. You've also got to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, she'll be sad to see you in such straits.”

Honestly speaking, Sophie was pretty good to Ysabelle.

“I will. You must bring her back. Also, you must be careful. Don't get hurt.” Ysabelle was still traumatized by the fact that both Felix and Tristan were injured the previous time.

That also granted her an intimate understanding of how terrifying Nicholas was.

Leaning down, Felix pecked her on the lips.

“Okay. Relax! I'll be fine since I've still got to marry you!” As such, how could I possibly allow anything to happen to myself?

“I didn't agree to marry you. Anyway, you must be careful, okay?” Nicholas is a lunatic! Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Sophie away at such a time. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Got it. Rest assured that I won't have you worried and fearful anymore.”

Felix left the room, but sheer trepidation swamped Ysabelle.

Noticing her anxiety, Sarah could only coax, “Don't worry! Felix has been working for your Uncle Tristan all these years, and they've been through all kinds of trials and tribulations!”

In reality, she was also very much worried. Be that as it may, they couldn't panic then. Otherwise, everything would only plunge into chaos.

“I'm scared, Aunt Sarah. The last time, Uncle Tristan was grievously injured. I'm really freaked out now!”

Sarah hugged Ysabelle tightly.

“It's okay. Everything will be fine. Both of them are formidable, so those people won't be their match.” At that moment, they could only reassure themselves in such a manner.

Meanwhile, Felix and Tristan had already made all the preparations. They were just about to set out when Charles and Sean arrived in a mad dash.

“Why are you two here?” Felix couldn't help asking. Don't they need to oversee things in the office?

“Jeez, how could I be absent at such a time!” Charles quipped. We naturally have to come when things are so exciting.

“We can't possibly sit back and do nothing when disaster has befallen Sophie. We're best friends, Tristan. Thus, we definitely have to face such things together,” Sean added.

It's merely Nicholas. There's nothing to fear about him.
