Pursuing Her Chapter 696

It was an extensive operation—Sophie had already been in the operating room for over five hours. The
people outside the operating room were all waiting patiently for her.

Obviously, the ones present were all Sophie's close friends.

Butterfly was calm as she knew how capable and mentally strong Sophie was.

Cecelia and Ysabelle, on the other hand, weren't as calm. They were both worried sick, but there was
nothing they could do to help.

Cecelia was pacing around outside the operating room to make herself feel less uneasy.

Ysabelle was sitting with Felix as they waited outside. She would glance at the operating table from
time to time, and Felix would then comfort her by putting his arm over her shoulders.

Sarah was also on a chair nearby.

In fact, even Charles and Sean were there.

The duo knew how important Sophie was to Tristan. Moreover, they had spent quite a lot of time with
Sophie, so they had already regarded her as their own friend and family.

“Winter called,” Sean uttered. She was more concerned about Tristan rather than Sophie, though.

Charles hummed in acknowledgment and replied, “She's still unwilling to give up.”



If Winter could give up on Tristan, Charles would be able to plead with Tristan to let her return to the
country earlier.

Nevertheless, there was nothing Charles could do because she was still obsessed with Tristan.

“Charles, don't burden yourself with that matter. I think it's a good thing that Winter stays in Anglandur.
Compared to what happened to Jennifer, I'd say Mr. Tristan had let Winter off pretty easily. You know
that,” Sean said. That's just how Winter is. She wouldn't let go so easily. She would have had an even
tougher time if not for Charles' sake.

“I know my sister well, but I don't know how to help her,” Charles replied. I don't even know what to say
to her anymore. It's not wrong to like someone, but she can't expect her affection to be reciprocated.
She's just too obsessed with him.

“That is why, no matter what Old Mr. Quigley says, you must know the limits. Don't let this affect your
relationship with Mr. Tristan,” Sean advised. We can't let Winter affect the relationship between the four
of us.

“Yeah. Don't worry. I know what I should do,” Charles answered.

Winter had also been in contact with Walter, telling him she wanted to return to the country. Despite the
constant pressure from Walter, however, Charles refused to give in.

“Okay. That's good.”

Finally, the operation ended after over eight hours. The light above the operating room was finally
extinguished, and Arius and Barney were seen walking out of the operating room.



Upon seeing everyone's anxious gazes, Barney reassured, “Don't worry! It was a successful operation,
but we still need to monitor her recovery.”

Naturally, Sophie was expected to be kept there for a while more.

Everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what Barney said. Since the operation
was successful, there shouldn't be any problems now.

“All right. In that case, Charles and I will head back. We can't all be here,” Sean said. We still need to
keep an eye on those four companies back in the country.

“Okay. You guys should head back! Give me a call if anything comes up,” Felix replied. At this moment,
I doubt Mr. Tristan is in the mood to deal with those things.

“Sure. You stay then.”

No one knew if Nicholas would return, so they couldn't all go back at once.

The best solution was to let Felix stay.

“Okay.”

More than six hours later, Sophie finally regained consciousness. Tristan was the first person she saw
the moment she opened her eyes, and she was heartbroken. “Have you been here all this while? Why
didn't you go back and rest? Didn't I tell you to do that? I'm fine.”



Instead of answering her questions, Tristan poured a glass of warm water for her upon hearing her
hoarse voice.

“I took a nap a bit ago.”

Sophie was relieved to hear those words.

After that, Tristan fed her some warm water to soothe her throat.

“How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort? If you do, you must tell me. I'll get Barney and Arius
to come over,” Tristan said. Arius and Barney went home to rest after the lengthy operation.

“No. I'm feeling fine.”

Hearing that, Tristan leaned in to kiss her pale lips. “That's good.”

Tristan was still slightly disturbed when he recalled that ghastly sight he saw during the operation.

The others came to see Sophie the moment they found out she had awakened. Since the ward she
was in wasn't the ICU, visitors were allowed in. She smiled the moment she saw them. “I'm serious,
guys. I'm fine. You guys are making me feel pressured.”

It had been a long time since she felt that way. Nothing like this had occurred ever since I returned from
the training camp. No matter what happened, I was able to protect myself. What happened this time
around was merely an accident.

“Sophie, you have no idea how worried we all were. That was especially the case for Mr. Tristan.



Before you woke up, he was—”

“I think it's about time you head back, Cecelia,” Tristan uttered, shooting Cecelia a look.

In response, Cecelia shrugged.

“I'm serious, Sophie. You're one lucky girl. Cherish him!” Cecelia urged. It's hard to find a rich and loyal
man like Tristan these days. Sophie is so lucky.

Tristan did not retort to that. Cecelia's right. Sophie should cherish me. No matter what happens, she
mustn't give up on me.

Sophie nodded. “I know. I won't let go of him for the rest of my life!”

A smile appeared on Sarah's face when she heard that. “All right. Since you're fine, we can all be at
ease now. Let's go get some breakfast. We should let Sophie rest.”

It was a given that Sophie needed to rest since she had just undergone an extensive operation.

“Rest well! We'll leave and have our breakfast now. What would you like to eat? We can bring food
back for you.” Butterfly beamed as she spoke.

“Anything will do,” Sophie replied. She had no appetite for food, and she wasn't craving anything.

“Okay. We'll go now.”



With that, only Tristan and Sophie were left in the ward.

“Go with them!” Sophie piped up.

“No. I'll wait for them to bring food here. I want to eat with you.” Tristan didn't want her to eat on her
own.

In Anglandur, Nicholas had returned with Alex's body. Javier had a scowl on his face when he saw
Alex's body in the coffin.

Although Alex had always been by Nicholas' side, everyone had actually considered Alex to be a
member of the Sable family.

Yet, he was now dead.

“Who did this?” Javier asked in a deep voice. How could such a thing happen?

Nicholas balled his hands into fists as he kept mum.

“What's the matter with you, Nicholas? Although I was the one who recruited Alex, had he not worked
hard for you? How could you not care now that something like this has happened to him? Who did this?
Tell me!” Javier roared.
