Ultimately, Nichs made the decision.
No matter what, all he wanted was a chance.
After finishing their meal, Sophie didn''t leave immediately. She initially wanted to stay and spend some
time with Tristan.
However, Nichs refused to leave and insisted on staying as well.
Tristan held her hand.
“You must remember to get some rest after you get back and don''t overtire yourself, okay?”
He was worried as she didn''t seem to be in great shape.
“I got it. Don''t worry about me,” she said. Then, she turned to Nichs. “Nichs, you should see a
psychologist as soon as possible! Don''t waste any more time. This will be beneficial for you and
everyone else.”
She found him less annoying as long as he didn''t throw a tantrum.
“All right. I know. But you have to promise not to avoid me in the future, no matter what.” That was the
only request he had.
Nichs was contented as long as she stopped hiding from him and could continue to be present in his
life. Everything else didn''t matter.
“Okay. I promise.”
“Really?” Nichs thought his ears were ying tricks on him. After all, Sophie had always been firm
on not giving him a chance for the past year.
“Yes.”
Nichs was overjoyed. In fact, his happiness could originate from simple things like that.
After dinner, Tristan apanied Sophie back to the medical association while Nichs tagged along.
Tristan was irritated to see how delighted Nichs was. This man should really know when to stop.
Sophie fathomed Tristan must be unhappy, so she held his hand.
“I didn''t mean anything by agreeing to his request. I just thought maybe he won''t pester me anymore if
his condition improves.”
Sophie had gotten sick of that kind of harassment and hoped she could put an end to it.
“I know that.” There was no way he couldn''t understand her intention.
The trio halted in their tracks upon reaching the entrance of the International Medical Association.
“Nichs, if possible, please let Butterfly go.”
Nichs wasn''t inclined to release Butterfly at that time.
“Sophie, I treat her very well, and she''s getting all her wishes fulfilled at my ce. Therefore, you don''t
need to worry about her.”
Anyway, regardless of what Sophie said, he didn''t n on letting her go for the time being.
“She wants her freedom. Everything else you provide for her is irrelevant.” Butterfly was her friend, so
Sophie had a good grasp on what Butterfly yearned for the most.
“All right. I got it.”
“I''m going in now.” She stopped talking afterward and entered the building.
Tristan halted Nichs from leaving.
“Let''s have a match. What do you say?” Tristan cut to the chase.
Unexpectedly, Nichs shook his head.
“I''m not interested in doing that.” He''s joking, right? My injuries haven''t even healed yet. I don''t want to
get beaten up again.
“Don''t be too full of yourself, Tristan. You''ve also heard Sophie. She''s willing to give me a chance.
Who''s to say how things will end up for us?”
Tristan didn''t respond.
He wasn''t nning on arguing with a fool. A chance? So what if he gets the chance? Sophie loves me,
so no one else can be with her.
Meanwhile, Tristan had made arrangements for Caleb to return to the country. Thetter was still in his
condominium when someone knocked on his door. He opened the door and was surprised to see
Tristan standing outside.
“Mr. Tristan, how did you know I was here?” Caleb was somewhat taken aback. Although he thought
about seeking Sophie and Tristan''s help, he didn''t do so in the end.
Caleb was still trying to figure out a solution on his own. He didn''t expect Tristan would show up there
all of a sudden.
“Pack your things. I''ll arrange for you to return to the country now.”
The simple matter of sending someone back to their country posed no difficulty for him.
“Did Sophie ask you to do this?” If it weren''t for Sophie, Tristan probably wouldn''t bother dealing with
me since we have no familial or personal connections whatsoever.
“Yes.”
Tristan was reluctant to borate further.
Caleb actually felt very conflicted as he had already owed Sophie too much.
Even then, she held nothing against him and still wanted to help him now.
Hence, there was no way he would''ve been unfeeling toward her kindness. In truth, he was different
from Charmaine and the others.
He had always hoped that he could protect Sophie better.
However, he still ended up hurting her.
Caleb didn''t have much to pack. Of all his belongings there, he only needed to take his identification
documents with him.
After all, Anndur was in a mess then, so he shouldn''t bring those unimportant clothes with him.
Soon, Caleb was done packing his things.
When he went outside, he saw Tristan standing beside a car. Noticing Caleb hade out, Tristan got
into the car without saying anything.
Caleb had no choice but to follow suit.
The driver sent them straight to the airport. Even until he boarded Tristan''s private ne, Caleb still
found the whole experience surreal. My sister really found a capable man. While our entire family is at
a loss for what to do, Tristan manages to send me back to the country effortlessly.
Meanwhile, after seeing Caleb off, Tristan sent Sophie a message on WhatsApp, informing her about
Caleb''s departure.
By keeping her updated, he figured she could now focus on her experiments with peace of mind.

After sending the message, he waited for her reply, but there was still no response, even after a long
time.
Consequently, he could only drive back.
He didn''t mind theck of response because he knew she was busy, so she couldn''t constantly check
her phone.
On the other hand, Caleb finally returned to the Tanner residence. He heard Charmaineining
about Sophie as soon as he arrived at the entrance, grumbling about Sophie''s disinclination to help.
Charmain''s choices of words were also particrly nasty.
Willow merely sat beside her mother in silence. She had learned to endure at that point, knowing she
had no right to criticize anyone before having the capabilities.
Sophie could now easily crush Willow with a flick of her finger.
Caleb''s heart ached when he heard his mother badmouthing Sophie. Sophie has always been like this.
She silently does many things but never wants others to know. Sophie is already making contributions
without asking for anything in return, so how can her family members speak so maliciously of her
behind her back?
Caleb stepped into the house and red at his mother.
“Mom, you don''t know anything, and since you know nothing, you shouldn''t say anything. Don''t you
realize how hurtful your words can be?”
Charmaine was taken aback to see her son had returned.
“You''re home, Caleb? How did youe back? Do you know how worried I''ve been?” Charmaine
hugged Caleb tightly.
He gently pushed her away.
“Mom, I''m serious. You''re being too unfair to Sophie,” he uttered irritably. “Sophie is not obligated to
help me. Besides, I''ve returned now because of her assistance, isn''t it?”
An embarrassed look spread across Charmaine''s face.
“Isn''t that what she''s supposed to do? You''re her brother, so she should help you, right?” Don''t tell me
we should''ve begged her instead?
Caleb shook his head. “Mom, nothing in this world should be taken for granted. She''s your daughter,
but have you helped her do anything unconditionally?”
