Chapter 150 Important To Me
Tristan immediately narrowed his eyes to study the man in front of him.
“Who are you? What are you trying to do?”
Tristan was only worried that the man would hurt Sophie.
Arius could not hold back his laughter when he noticed how tense Tristan was.
“Are you trying to ask what kind of relationship Sophie has with me instead?”
Tristan did not respond to him. Instead, his eyes flitted toward the bed behind Arius and realized that Sophie was indeed lying on it.
Despite the loud commotion, Sophie was still asleep. At that, Tristan realized that something was amiss.
“What have you done to her?” Tristan bellowed, his heart leaping to his throat.
“Who are you, and what right do you have to ask all these questions?” So, is he the reason Sophie refused to join the medical association?
At that point, Tristan did not want to waste any more of his breath on the man, so he began attacking Arius.
Even though Arius was a medical student, he was quite skilled in fighting as well. A fight promptly broke out between the two of them.
Nevertheless, no matter how good of a fighter Arius was, he was no match for Tristan. Soon, the latter had him sprawling on the floor.
“Speak! What happened to Sophie?” Waves of anxiety were washing over Tristan’s mind as he realized that Sophie was still not awake from the loud noises they made. He kept wondering what the man had done to her.
Arius could not move an inch as Tristan kept him pinned on the floor, but he refused to admit defeat.
“Why should I tell you anything? Aren’t you worried about her? If so, find out what happened to her yourself.”
Upon hearing Arius’ stubborn words, Tristan kicked his abdomen.
“Ah!” Arius cried out in pain. “Sh*t, you f*cking—”
Before he was done cursing at Tristan, Tristan lifted his leg, about to give him another kick.
“Stop it.”
I know I’m a doctor, but it still hurts when I get kicked!
“Speak!”
No one could keep their secrets if Tristan was the one interrogating them.
“She’s fine. She’ll wake up in the morning. I’m warning you now; don’t do anything to me. Otherwise, Sophie won’t let you off the hook when she wakes up.”
With how close Sophie and I are, she won’t let anyone bully me like this!
Arius felt utterly ashamed for suffering a complete defeat.
“Scram.” The fact that Sophie came all the way there herself meant the two of them were not merely associates.
That was why he could not jump to a conclusion based on merely his own speculations before Sophie regained consciousness.
Nevertheless, once Sophie woke up and Tristan confirmed that the man had indeed harbored malicious intentions toward her, he would destroy the man.
Arius rubbed his nose and muttered, “This is my room. Why do I have to leave? Even if one of us has to leave, shouldn’t you be the one?”
So what if he’s the renowned Mr. Tristan? I, Arius Gullifer, am not an easy target either. Just a call from me, and the top assassin will come and kill him!
Tristan shot him a glare.
Again, Arius scratched his nose awkwardly.
“Fine. A good man knows when to retreat. Since no one can speak up for me while Sophie’s asleep, I’ll wait until she wakes up. Let’s see if you’re still going to be this haughty!”
Arius then exited the presidential suite and booked a different room. After entering the new room, he lay on the bed and slept.
In the meantime, Tristan walked over to the bed to look at the sleeping woman. Then, he held her hand.
“Girly, how could you make others worry about you this much?” I should’ve ignored her decision and come with her. This wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
For the first time in his life, Tristan was feeling regretful.
After he planted a kiss on her forehead, the anger in him dissipated.
It was as if nothing mattered anymore as long as he knew that she was fine.
Tristan felt that it was strange for him to be acting that way.
When Sophie finally woke up, she noticed Tristan sprawling at the edge of the bed, asleep. She mused, He looks uncomfortable in that position.
Then, she began recalling what had happened the night before. How did Tristan end up coming here? Where is Arius? Where did he go?
Sophie then tried to get off the bed to head to the bathroom, but just as she moved a little, Tristan was jolted awake. Instinctively, he grabbed her hand.
Her somewhat groggy look made Tristan’s heart skip a beat, and he could not help but pin her under him.
“Didn’t you ask me to wait for you at Wisteria Apartments?” Tristan sounded a little resentful and piteous.
Sophie scratched the back of her head as she, too, did not know how she ended up falling asleep there.
“Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep here. I have no idea what’s going on too. Have you seen my friend?” The two of them must have encountered, right?
Seeing that Sophie was asking about her friend the moment she woke up, Tristan became upset. As a form of punishment, he bit the corner of her lips.
“Is he more important than me? Why are you asking about him right after you wake up?” Tristan felt that it was no small matter, and he had to get an answer from Sophie.
“Mr. Tristan…” Sophie never thought that the mature and collected Tristan would ask a question like that. This is unbelievable. He’s making me change my impression of him!
“What’s the matter? Is that a difficult question to answer?” Tristan insisted.
Sophie was still pinned under him, and they were in a truly awkward position.
“Let me get up first. I need to use the bathroom.” Sophie was about to lose control of her bladder soon.
“No. You have to answer me first. Who’s more important to you?”
He’s just like a kid. Am I supposed to console him?
“He’s important to me,” was what Sophie told him honestly.
Hearing that, Tristan fell silent. Is that man really that important to her?
Finally, he let go of her, and she sat up on the bed. When she noticed the sullen expression on his face, she scrambled for words to say to him. Why does he have such a look on his face?
“Mr. Tristan, are you okay?”
Tristan shook his head.
“Not at all,” he told her. He wanted to be the one who mattered the most in her life.
At his response, Sophie scratched her head in confusion. A moment later, she silently went to the bathroom to wash up.
Right then, Arius returned, for he knew that she would wake up around that time.
Once Tristan caught a glimpse of the man, he scowled.
That was what Sophie saw when she came out of the bathroom—a stand-off between two extremely handsome men.
Then, she spotted the injury on Arius’ face, and the corner of her lips twitched.
So… these two men have already fought, and Mr. Tristan emerged as the victor.
When Arius realized that Sophie was out of the bathroom, he rushed to her side and pointed at Tristan. “Soph, look. He’s bullying me!”
Tristan was speechless.
How can this man be so childish and a tattletale?
Still, Sophie pretended not to have heard his words. After all, the other man was Tristan. Even if he bullied Arius, there was nothing she could do about it.
Arius was instantly despondent when he saw Sophie ignoring him.
“You’re too much, Sophie! How can you side with an outsider and not me? I’m—”
Sophie shot a look at him, and he promptly clamped his mouth shut. I’m her senior, but what a sad life I lead!
“Hmph! The two of you are so mean to me. I don’t want to see you anymore. Leave!” Arius fumed.
“Okay, I’ll leave then,” Sophie said before turning around to actually leave.
“Sophie, you’re going too far!”
“I’m going too far? If you didn’t drug me and make me sleep for so long, would I be oblivious to the two of you fighting here?”
