Anything For Her Chapter 161


    When Sophie heard that, she took the chart from Arius and scanned through it, and her face fell.“Is it


    because of Mom and Willow?” Sophie figured those two were the only ones who could upset


    Josiah.“Who else could it be? They really went overboard. Do you know what they told Old Mr.


    Tanner?” Morgan answered for Josiah. He could no longer keep it to himself after seeing how affected


    Josiah was because of the two women.“Morgan,” Josiah interrupted. He did not want to burden Sophie


    with what happened.“Grandpa, I know exactly why they came. Morgan doesn’t have to tell me


    anything.” Sophie could read Charmaine and Willow like open books. The shares she had was the


    thing they were after.“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I made you a promise and I will see to it that it happens.


    As for Willow and Mom, you don’t have to worry about them. They can’t do anything to me.”It pained


    Arius to see Sophie having to tank such a heavy burden on her own.“Soph, you should just go to


    Anndur with me. There’s nothing for you here.” Arius had an impulse to just take Sophie away with


    him to a faraway ce so he could shelter her from all the harm and threats she faced.When Josiah


    heard Arius’ suggestion, he looked up at the young man and fell into deep thoughts.So he’s back


    because he wants to bring Sophie to Anndur?“Soph, you should just go if that’s what you want. You


    don’t have to worry about me.” Deep in his heart, Josiah knew Sophie was no ordinary kid. She was


    talented and she should chase after her dream.Sophie clenched her fists at his words.“Grandpa, this is


    not up for consideration. I will be taking my university entrance exam here.” She wanted to spend more


    time with Josiah because his days were numbered. As for her future, she still had a long way to


    go.“Come over here,” Josiah said lovingly. He knew what was in her mind and he could not help but


    feel sorry for the child.Sophie walked over and let the old man pat her on her head like an obedient


    child.This side of her was new to Arius. She was the luminary in Horington, so it was difficult for Arius


    to connect that image of her to what he saw at that moment.Over on the outside, Tristan had just


    arrived at the door when Arius spoke about taking Sophie away. He did not mean to eavesdrop. It just


    happened that he overheard the conversation. What is going on? So he’s here to take Sophie with


    him?Tristan pulled his hand away from the door handle and went over to the staircase. He lighted a


    cigarette and smoked on pensively.Who is Arius to her?Will she go to Anndur with him?Back at the


    ward, Sophie had received a call from Tristan earlier saying he woulde to visit Josiah. Since she


    had waited for some time, she decided to just go out to look for him, leaving Arius and Josiah in the


    room on their own.“So, Ari, when are you taking Soph to Anndur?” Josiah figured he should know


    the details of the man’s n.“Grandpa, I suppose you’ve heard of Dr. Smith? He met Sophie four years


    ago at Anndur and has since wanted her to be his mentee because he saw the potential in her. I


    came back this time not just because I had to perform your surgery, but also because I want to take her


    back with me.” Josiah saw the truth in what Arius said. The university entrance exam should not be just


    an excuse for Sophie. She was so gifted she would ace the exam. In fact, Josiah believed she could


    apply straight to any prestigious university in the world without even taking the exam.That thought


    excited him.I knew she is different. She’s a bright girl.“See, Morgan. Isn’t Sophie amazing? She’s


    different from everyone else. That’s why I like her so much.”Morgan was equally surprised to hear what


    Arius said.Everyone had heard of the founder of the medical association, but none of them had actually


    seen him in person before, so it went without saying that Josiah and Morgan were astonished when


    they found out that a legendary figure like that man would want to keep Sophie under his wings.“Ms.


    Sophie is a genius. I’m sure she will be a star in the future,” Morgan praised in admiration.The thought


    of it put tears in Josiah’s eyes. All achievementes with a price, and so will Sophie’s, but it’s okay.I


    just want the best for her. It will be worth the sacrifice.“Ari, you don’t have to worry about me. I just want


    Soph to get the best training.” She’s my granddaughter. She must be the best.Meanwhile, Sophie was


    looking for Tristan when she saw him at the staircase, engulfed in a cloud of smoke.“What are you


    doing here?” she asked gently, walking toward him. “Why don’t you just go in and see Grandpa?” Her


    tone naturally softened when she saw Tristan.Hearing her voice, Tristan quickly snuffed out the


    cigarette.“Don’t worry about me. I smoke sometimes too.”Despite what she said, Tristan still put out the


    cigarette.“Smoking is not good for your health. I don’t want you to be a second-hand smoker. You


    should get rid of that habit too.”All Tristan could think about was her.“I know,” she replied shortly.


    Although she had said that she did not mind, she still felt touched when she knew Tristan was being


    considerate of her. “Why didn’t you go in?”“Oh, well. I just wanted to take a smoke,” Tristan said


    dismissively. He put his arm around her shoulder, pushing her toward the ward.“Hold on a second. You


    reek of smoke. Grandpa wouldn’t like that.” When Tristan realized Sophie wanted Josiah to have a


    good impression of him, he felt she actually cared about him, and he was heartened.They stood


    outside for a while more until Sophie pushed the door open.“Tanny!” Josiah greeted him


    enthusiastically when he saw Tristan. It was apparent that the old man was in a good mood.“Hi,


    Grandpa. I came to see you right after I finished my work. I heard someone pissed you off


    earlier?”“Nah. Don’t listen to Soph. I didn’t get angry. I’ve been feeling good this whole day.” The


    possibility of Sophie having a bright future ahead of her lightens Josiah’s mood.“I’ll make a move first


    then. I’ll see you in a bit, Grandpa.” After briefing Sophie on a few things, Arius left to attend to other


    matters.After Arius went off, Tristan and Sophie sat down to talk to Josiah, but before they could even


    talk much, a knock came from the door.Without waiting for anyone’s permission, the door was flung


    open, and in came Constance with a mountain of gifts.The woman froze the moment she saw Tristan,


    but she quickly collected herself. I’m here for Mason today. I have to focus on my goal.“Hi, Old Mr.


    Tanner. I’m sorry it took me so long to pay you a visit. Mason’s not doing well, so I’ve been taking care


    of him,” she said courteously. “Speaking of, I didn’t know Sophie knows Dr. Gullifer! She must be really


    well-connected to have friends like him.”Josiah shed her a polite smile as she walked in. He was not


    a huge fan of Constance.What does she want?“Oh, you don’t have toe all the way here, actually.


    You should just stay and take care of Mason.” Josiah was not even trying to conceal his dislike of the


    woman.If it were usual times, Constance would have just left, but that time, she had to suck it up


    because she needed a favor.“Come on, Old Mr. Tanner. The Lairds and the Tanners will soon be joint in


    marriage. I should show my sincerity.”All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
