Pursuing Her Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Human Emotions

"Worry has driven you into a mess, but you have really done a good job.” After all, humans were

born with emotions and desires, and there was no way to have total control over them.She had

done very well. At that very moment, Arius and Barney came over. When they saw her in that state,

Arius could not help but shake his head.”Soph, don't you trust me? As your mentor, I was right

beside you throughout the operation. It was totally faultless.”Sophie rose to her feet.”Dr. Smith,

thank you very much for coming here,” she said gratefully, knowing how busy he was.Barney burst

out laughing.”My dear, I don't know when you will take me as your mentor. However, I'll wait, no

matter how long it will take.” As a leading figure in the medical field, Barney founded International

Medical Association.The medical association had a lot of medical experts from all over the world

under its umbrella.From the time he met Sophie, he had always wanted her to helm his medical

association.”Just give her some time. You're almost there.” After going through so much, Sophie

could think of nothing else but her grandfather.“Fine, I will not rush you. For your sake, I have

mastered Chanaean. I'll leave it to you.” At that point, he spoke Chanaean well, but with a foreign

accent.Arius shook his head. His mentor seemed totally obsessed with Sophie. However, Arius could

understand Barney's feelings.Sophie was indeed the most gifted medical prodigy they had ever

come across.”Sophie, Dr. Smith has to leave now. I'm sure you know how much work he has at the

medical association.””Dr. Smith, let me see you out.” Sophie decided to walk him to the entrance

because he had come such a long way."You stay here. I'll walk with him.” Tristan knew how much

she wanted to stay with her grandfather, so he offered.”Neither of you need to do that. It's good

enough that Arius is with me.” Barney understood how she felt, and he did not want her to do that.

“Tristan, you stay here too. Tristan had already done a lot to bring him over.”Sophie, you stay here

and watch your grandpa. Don't worry. I'll stay until he wakes up.” He didn't want to go off just like

that."Thank you, Dr. Smith,” Sophie said sincerely. Anyhow, she was grateful that he had come all

the way.At that moment, Constance turned up. She had heard that the founder of the medical

association was visiting. Even though Arius was unwilling to help her, there was hope for Mason's

legs to recover as long as Barney agreed to help.What she had not expected was that she had no

way of reaching that level.Nonetheless, that was a rare opportunity to meet the foreign

expert.“Hello, may I know if you are Dr. Smith? My son's legs are broken. Can I ask you—"Before

Constance could finish speaking, two bodyguards came over immediately and caught hold of

her.Seeing that it was her, Sophie's expression was particularly cold, while Tristan just glanced at the

two bodyguards.“This must not happen again!” Tristan warned them sharply.The two bodyguards

were so afraid that they broke into cold sweat. They were well aware of Tristan’s fiery temper.

Furthermore, they could not give him any satisfactory reply for Constance's intrusion.The woman

had already entered the room and that was an indisputable fact.”Sorry, Mr. Tristan.” The bodyguards

apologized for their mistake, but the damage was done."Take her away!"“Dr. Smith, if you can heal

my son's legs, I can give you whatever you want,” Constance yelled for that was her last

chance Barney frowned.He did not like the woman's attitude. There was nothing he wanted that he

could not have so far.The name Barney Smith was synonymous with absolute power. Where fame

and fortune were concerned, he had everything.If there were anything he wanted then, it was

Sophie.Constance was taken away even while she was still trying to convince Barney.”Soph, you

must come to visit me in Anglandur. Even if you do not wish to join the medical association, you can

at least check it out.” He was confident that the moment she visited the medical association, she

would definitely be fascinated by what she would see.”Alright, I will certainly pay the medical

association a visit,” Sophie promised.Arius sent Barney to the airport personally. Tristan had made

arrangements for his flight.”Mr. Tristan, Old Mr. Tanner is awake,” a staff came over to report When

Sophie heard that her grandfather was awake, she went over immediately. She went in and saw that

he was indeed awake.Seeing Sophie, Josiah raised his hand slightly. He was awake, but still unable

to talk.She went to him and held his hand.”Grandpa, don't worry. The operation was a success. After

a few days of rest, we can go home.”"When Arius came back and found out that Josiah had awoken,

he came immediately to examine him. After a series of tests, Arius looked rather pleased.”You're

recovering well. So, don't worry, Old Mr. Tanner. Rest well for a few days, and be sure to listen to the

nurses!”Josiah nodded slowly as he listened to the doctor.At his advanced age, he felt weak after

going through such a major operation, but his mind was still sharp.”Grandpa, just close your eyes

and rest,” Sophie advised after seeing how weak he was.Josiah’s eyes were on Sophie all the time.He

knew that she was undergoing a lot at that moment. Since he was awake, she should go and have a

good rest."Grandpa, I'm fine.” She could see that he was worried about her.”Grandpa, don't worry.

I'm here for her. She's going to be fine.” Tristan gazed steadily into Josiah’s eyes.When Josiah heard

that, he heaved a sign of relief. For some unknown reason, he trusted Tristan and took him at his

word.Josiah fell asleep again.Arius patted Sophie on her shoulder.”It's all good. Now that Old Mr.

Tanner has awoken, you can stop worrying.” The truth was that when Josiah woke up, Arius felt

relieved too.He was worried about any mishaps that might happen. After all, every surgery involved

certain levels of risk. That type of surgery Josiah had was especially risky."Thank you, Arius."He

waved his hands in reply.“Sophie, if you continue doing this, I'll get angry. There is no need for you

to stand on ceremony.”Sophie did not say a word, but smiled instead.“All is well and I'm tired. I'm

going to sleep for a while.” He was not going back yet, but he would leave only after Josiah's

condition had stabilized.Arius had gone to rest and Morgan noticed that Sophie did not look well.

Immediately he told Tristan, “Mr. Tristan, let me watch Old Mr. Tanner. You send Ms. Sophie to get

some rest."With Morgan there, the others need not worry."Morgan, I'm fine.” She knew they were

worried about her but she felt fine.”You should go home. I'm sure you don’t want Old Mr. Tanner to

wake up and see you exhausted or he'll feel really bad.”
