Chapter 446


    Chapter 446


    Sophie watched through the rearview mirror as Willow continued running behind the car, showing no


    sign of giving up. Thetter only stopped chasing after the car after she tripped and fell.


    “What an idiot,” Sophie muttered.


    Did she really expect to catch up to a vehicle with four wheels just by running? Is she really my older


    sister? How can one possess such a low IQ?


    “Ignore her. She''s of no importance, so don''t let her affect your mood,” said Tristan.


    People like Willow only think about what they want. They don''t care about others at all. She must''ve


    come looking for Sophie because of something to do with yton. There''s no need to pity people like


    that.


    “Don''t worry. I''m not bothered by her in the slightest.”


    The car pulled up in the underground parking lot. After getting out of the vehicle, Tristan opened the car


    door for Sophie, and they headed upstairs together.


    Sophie was already exhausted by the time they returned to Wisteria Apartments. However, Willow kept


    calling her phone, so she blocked Willow''s number.


    Only then did she have some peace and quiet.


    “Oh, by the way, which university did you apply to?” Tristan asked. They had been so caught up with


    other things that he had not gotten the chance to ask her.


    “The University of Medicine.”


    Although her answer was unexpected, it made sense.


    Moreover, Arius did mention that she was truly gifted.


    Nheless, Tristan could not stop his heart from aching at the thought of Sophie bing a doctor.


    After all, it was a taxing career.


    “What''s the matter? You look as though you have something to say about that.”


    “Oh, it''s nothing. I''ll always support you, no matter what you choose to do. It''s just that I feel being a


    doctor will take a lot out of you,” he replied.


    Sometimes, one surgery alone could take a few hours, and the mere thought of Sophie standing there


    for several hours was already starting to worry him.


    She leaned against him and said, “After my grandfather fell ill previously and there was nothing I could


    do, I thought that being a doctor would be quite a good thing. At least I wouldn''t be so powerless in the


    face of death.”


    In truth, that idea had always been in her thoughts. However, she had never made up her mind about it.


    Now, she had genuinely considered it carefully.


    “Hmm, that''s a good point,” Tristan remarked.


    Neither of them ever imagined that Tristan would one day be the one lying on the operation table and


    that the person performing the surgery would be Sophie.


    “So, you''re not unhappy about that, right?” She could now read his emotions better.


    “Why would I be unhappy? I''m d you can do the things you like, future Dr. Tanner!”


    Sophie grinned.


    “Oh, I won''t be going to Anndur either, so you won''t have to shift your focus there.”


    Tristan knew she had made that decision because of him.


    He cradled her face and nted a kiss on her lips. “Oh, Sophie! Thank you!”


    “I don''t want your thanks, Tristan. It was a voluntary decision, so you don''t have to feel bad about it.”


    “Oh, no. I don''t feel bad about it at all. I couldn''t be happier that you chose to stay because of me.


    However, just know that should you need to go to Anndur, I can go with you.”


    Sophie''s heart softened when she saw how much he cared for her.


    This guy really knows how to make my heart melt.


    “Who says I must go to Anndur? Even if I don''t go abroad, I can still be the best doctor in the


    world!” she dered, brimming with confidence.


    Besides, Chanaea has been making great strides on the medical front!


    “But didn''t you promise Arius you''d make a trip to Anndur?” Tristan asked. That matter had gnawed


    at him for a long time, and he had never forgotten it.


    Sophie nodded.


    “You''re right. I promised him that, and I do need to make a trip there. Dr. Smith saved my life, so I must


    make good on my promise to him.”


    Although she had decided not to join the International Medical Association, she still had to go there and


    personally tell Barney her decision.


    “When are you nning on leaving? I''ll go with you.”


    “Even if I go, it''ll only be for two to three days. You have plenty to do here, so there''s no need to


    apany me,” she replied, knowing how busy he had beentely.


    Tristan had a coboration with a multinational corporation on hand, and everyone was watching him


    like a hawk. Hence, he could not afford to leave the country at such a crucial time.


    Even so, he said, “What am I busy with? I''m only working to earn money. I have a whole lifetime ahead


    of me to do that. What matters the most to me now is you.”


    It''s only for two to three days, after all. It won''t affect much. After what happened during thatst trip to


    Anndur, how can I let her go by herself?


    “Don''t tell me you''re reluctant to part with me? Or is it because you''re afraid I won''t return?”


    What Sophie meant was that perhaps he was worried she would not return because she would surely


    fall in love with that ce after getting a taste of the International Medical Association.


    “Both,” Tristan answered frankly without attempting to deny it. After all, that was the truth.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Then, he added, “However, if you truly wish to go there, I won''t stop you. Nothing cane between


    us anyway.”


    Sophie stared at him wordlessly.


    “I already told you. I want to go to the University of Medicine.”


    It may not be the top university in the world, but it''s pretty good.


    “All right. That''s settled, then. Just let me know in advance when you''re nning to go.”


    “Okay.”


    Seeing how much he wanted to make the trip with her, Sophie did not say anything more.


    Meanwhile, the chancellors of Jipsdale University and Capston University could not help feeling


    regretful that Sophie had chosen to attend the University of Medicine.


    Hence, they went looking for her again.


    Hoping that Sophie would pick his university, Christopher said, “You can still think about it again,


    Sophie.”


    “He''s right. You actually possess talent in scientific research. I know you were the winner of thest


    physicspetition, and you—”


    “That''s kind of the two of you to say that. However, I''ve already made my decision.”


    “You know, you don''t have to attend Jipsdale University to join our research institute. How about doing


    a major at our university?” Christopher proposed. He did not mind that alternative as long as it meant


    she was notpletely turning them down.


    Is he for real? I can study medicine while doing research?


    Sophie was speechless, and even Ysabelle was dumbfounded.


    Seriously? Mr. Olsen is truly pulling out all the stops!


    “All right. I''ll think about it again,” Sophie replied. With her abilities, it would not be impossible to do two


    majors at two different universities.


    “You won''t have to worry about the timetable. I''ll adjust it for you and ensure it doesn''t sh with your


    sses at the University of Medicine.”


    Christopher''s remark proved just how desperately he wanted her as a student at Jipsdale University.


    bbergasted, Ysabelle nearly sputtered in disbelief.


    Haven''t there been rumors that the chancellor of Jipsdale University is a cold and aloof person? Why


    has someone like him done aplete one-eighty in front of Sophie? She''s truly something else!


    Not to be outdone, Joseph piped up, “Capston University can offer you that as well. If you''re willing to


    pick us, we''ll agree to any request you may have.”
