Anything For Her Chapter 157


    Chapter 157 Everything Is Ready


    Feeling the warmth from Tristan’s chest, Sophie rxedpletely and leaned against him.“What are


    you doing here all by yourself?”“Grandpa is asleep, so I came here to get some air.”“Hmm… I told you


    to go back and rest, but you refused. I’ve asked the hospital director to prepare the ward next door. You


    should go and get some rest. It’s not time for the surgery yet, so you don’t have to worry.”“Okay, Mr.


    Tristan. Thank you.”Apart from that, she truly did not know what else to say.“No need to thank me.


    Come on. Go and get some sleep. You’ll only need to keep watch after the surgery.”“Okay,” Sophie


    agreed reluctantly.I just wanted to spend more time with Grandpa. After all, no one can predict the


    oue of the surgery. If it weren’t because there was no other choice, I wouldn’t have wanted him to


    undergo surgery.When Tristan led her to the ward next door, she saw a hospital bed and an extra bed


    inside.“I’ll sleep on the extra bed. Since you’re tall, it won’t befortable for you,” said Sophie,


    nudging him toward therger bed.“Be good and go to sleep.” Without giving her the chance to refuse,


    he swept her up in his arms and carried her to the bed.“Mr. Tristan —”Why is he willing to suffer for me?


    Tristan alsoy on the hospital bed next to her. The bed was not that big, so it was actually quite a


    squeeze for both of them to lie on it.Nheless, it felt very warm and toasty to hug each other in the


    chilly weather of early winter.“Sleep,” he murmured in his pleasant and utterly mesmerizing


    voice.“Okay.”Sophie closed her eyes and leaned against his arm.Perhaps because she was too tired, it


    was not long before she dozed off.As Tristan listened to her gentle breathing, he lifted a hand to brush


    the hair from her face and tucked the loose strands behind her ear.“Sleep well, Soph,” he said softly. As


    long as I’m here, I’ll shield her from all the problems and worries.Sophie woke up early the following


    morning. Sitting up in bed, she spotted Tristan’s tall figure curled up on the extra bed, fast asleep.Her


    heart ached when she saw him sleeping so ufortably.Climbing out of bed, she went over to the


    extra bed and gazed down at him as he slept soundly.He must be exhausted after the past couple of


    days. Managing Lombard Group is already a tiring job, yet he’s always by my side.The moment Tristan


    opened his eyes, he saw her face close to his.He reached out his hands instinctively and hooked them


    around her neck, then drew her toward him and kissed her right on the lips.“You’re


    awake.”“Yes.”Sophie was still a little dazed after being kissed so suddenly, and Tristan could not resist


    pinching her face gently when he noticed it.“Do you have any idea how enticing you look right now? It’s


    enough to stir one’s desire to have their way with you,” he murmured.She’s simply too alluring!“I’ll go


    and check whether my grandfather is awake or not,” Sophie said quickly. I wonder whether he ate


    anythingst night. Anyway, he must be hungry by now.Tristan could not help butugh when he saw


    her scurry off.He then had his assistant buy breakfast from The Crown, and thetter brought back


    plenty of food. Since Josiah relished a lively atmosphere, everyone gathered in his ward to have


    breakfast with him.Just as they were eating, Arius arrived.“I can’t believe you didn’t invite me for


    breakfast. Isn’t that a bit too much?” Ariusined. He still had one other surgery scheduled that


    day. It was a very tough surgery, so he hade to ask Sophie to join him and learn from it.“Ari!


    You’ve not had breakfast yet, haven’t you? In that case,e and join us. Tanny bought lots of food!”


    Josiah called out. The Crown’s breakfast was delicious, and he had eaten a lot.“You’re the only one


    who thinks of me,” Arius said to Josiah, going over immediately to eat breakfast with the elderly


    man.After they finished their meal, Tristan had to leave for Lombard Group as there was some


    business he had to attend to personally.Since Josiah wished to take a stroll, Morgan went with him


    while Arius led Sophie away to prepare for the surgery.Having heard that Arius would be performing


    surgery at the hospital that day, Constance had arrived early that morning to wait there. However, it


    never crossed her mind that she would meet Sophie, who was wearing a surgical gown.“What are you


    doing here?” Constance asked darkly, her expression souring as soon as she saw Sophie.She


    harbored a deep dislike for Sophie and felt thetter’s appearance signaled misfortune for


    Mason.“Does that have anything to do with you?” Sophie answered bluntly. She had no wish to be


    polite to Constance.Constance fell silent at her words.If it were before, there was no way she would


    have backed down so easily after receiving such a retort.But now, she dared not say anything else


    because of Tristan.Meanwhile, Arius thought Sophie had sneaked away when he did not see her after


    changing into his surgical gown. Coming out to look for her, he spotted the woman who had bullied


    Sophie the other day.The second Arius saw Constance, his expression turned grim.Why does this


    woman keep showing up everywhere?“Why are you here?” he demanded brusquely.“Come on. Let’sN?velDrama.Org content.


    go in,” Sophie piped up. She had only stepped out to make a phone call, not expecting to bump into


    Constance.Nheless, that’s all unimportant. At this moment, I couldn’t care less about Mrs.


    Laird.Arius snorted coldly.“Who are you? Why do you look at her with such a haughty and imperious


    expression?” he asked Constance. The way she looks at Sophie just irks me.Furious, Constance


    responded in a threatening tone, “I’m telling you, you no-name doctor. You’d better show me some


    respect. Otherwise, I’ll have the hospital director fire you.”Is every Tom, Dick, and Harry qualified to


    mock me now?Arius was both amused and enraged.“What am I going to do, Sophie? I’m quaking in my


    boots! It took a long time before I finally got this job. My whole family relies on me to put food on the


    table. If I lose this job, I’ll starve to death!”Sophie did not respond. Instead, she quietly watched Arius


    put on his act.Constance was irate. “Why you—” “How dare you doubt my abilities? Do you think you


    can intimidate me, you old hag? If you can get the director to fire me, I’ll get on my knees and grovel!”


    Arius continued, interrupting her.Would I, Arius Gullifer, be afraid of others threatening me?“You—”


    Constance began, her entire body trembling with rage.Incensed, she snarled, “Sophie Tanner, look at


    that piece of garbage next to you! I’m calling the director right now!”“I didn’t hear that wrong, did I,


    Sophie? She dared to refer to me as garbage!”“Watch your words, Mrs. Laird,” Sophie warned. “Don’t


    make the mistake of thinking that the Laird family is all that high and mighty. I can easily make the Laird


    family vanish into thin air.”Constance gave a humorless chuckle and uttered arrogantly, “Such audacity!


    Do you genuinely think that Tanner Group has fallen into your hands? Even if you really were the


    person in control of thepany, do you think the Laird family would take any notice of Tanner


    Group?”In the Laird family’s eyes, Tanner Group is not even worth mentioning. If I wish to, I can destroy


    thepany at any time.“You old hag…” Arius growled, utterly infuriated.“Is that so? Go on and give it


    a try, then,” Sophie replied calmly, unwilling to waste her breath any longer.“Dr. Gullifer, everything is


    ready. Oh, Mrs. Laird! You’re here too! Are you and Dr. Gullifer acquainted?”“What did you say?”


    Constance could not believe her ears. This young man standing in front of me is the world-renowned


    Dr. Gullifer?
