Chapter 568
“What if he did? Nothing in this world is unchanging,” Nicholas insisted. If it really happens, will she leave Tristan?
“I told you he won’t. He’s the man I chose, so I have complete trust in him,” Sophie replied.
The unreserved trust she had for Tristan was something Nicholas was exceedingly jealous of.
“What can I do to make you forget about him?” he asked. She’ll only be able to remember me after forgetting about Tristan, right?
Hearing that, Sophie frowned.
She was used to Nicholas’ maniacal demeanor, but it seemed like it had worsened.
“Nicholas, it’s best if you book a visit with a psychiatrist,” she uttered, giving him the best suggestion she could think of.
“All of you think there’s something wrong with me, don’t you? But I think I’m fine. All I’m doing is loving you, and if you say that there’s something wrong with me loving you, then there’s nothing else I can say to you.”
Nicholas did not think it was possible for him to be ill. In his opinion, he was perfectly fine.
“Those with mental illnesses will never believe that they have an illness,” she said, for that was not the first time she had heard something like that from him.
“Aren’t you a student of the University of Medicine? Why don’t you treat me then?”
It would be easier for him to accept it if the doctor were Sophie.
“Sorry, but I’m in the surgery program,” Sophie said. I can’t do it unless what you need is for me to open you up.
“Can I ask you a question?” Nicholas then uttered.
In response, she nodded.
“Would you learn psychiatry if the one who’s ill is Tristan?”
Hearing that, Sophie drew her brows together, but in the end, she nodded.
If Tristan were in Nicholas’ position, she would not hesitate to study psychiatry.
“Then can you study it for me?” Nicholas inquired.
Sophie shook her head.
“Nicholas, you don’t belong here, and nothing here belongs to you. Go back to Anglandur. They have the best psychiatrist there, and it’s time for you to visit one.”
She knew that he would undoubtedly lose his mind if things went on.
“I don’t want to. I want to be wherever you are. Even if I’ll only be able to breathe the same air you’re breathing, staying here is much better than returning to Anglandur,” he insisted. He did not care if everyone else in the world disagreed with him.
Sophie was bewildered as to what kind of charm she could have to make him obsess over her.
She had never done anything to Nicholas, and she never thought of doing anything to make him fall for her.
“Frankly, I have no idea which part of me you’re enamored with. I don’t remember ever doing anything to you,” she voiced.
I would never try to get involved with a man like him.
I would never try to get involved with a man like him.
“Love has no reason. Isn’t that just how it is? If you think it’s possible to define it, can you tell me why you love Tristan, then?” Nicholas replied. If it can be controlled, then it isn’t love.
However, Sophie did not want to waste her breath on him anymore.
Hence, she uttered, “Don’t tail me anymore. Nothing will ever change.” Regardless of whatever he said, her mind would never change.
Nicholas knew what kind of person she was. Perhaps she’ll only return to me if I make her forget about Tristan completely.
When he returned to the mansion, he summoned Alex.
“Alex, haven’t you always wanted me to go back to Anglandur?” he asked, having calmed down after seeing Sophie.
As of then, he seemed perfectly fine.
Alex knew it would be the easiest to communicate with Nicholas at that moment.
Hence, he nodded.
“Mr. Nicholas, this place really isn’t our territory. If we linger here, we’ll be in greater danger,” he coaxed.
They were only temporarily safe because Tristan had yet to find out they were there.
Furthermore, Sophie had her misgivings, which was why she did not deal the fatal blow to them.
Nevertheless, that was not something that would last forever.
“Go contact Professor E!” Nicholas ordered.
“Mr. Nicholas, you’re finally willing to meet Professor E!” Professor E’s the only one who can help with Mr. Nicholas’ mental illness.
“No. I want to ask a favor of him,” was Nicholas’ reply. He was sure that hypnotizing someone would not be a problem for Professor E.
“Mr. Nicholas—” Alex started, but he clamped his mouth shut when he saw Nicholas’ refusal to elaborate on the topic.
“I don’t want to repeat myself. It’s time for you to start knowing your place,” Nicholas warned, not wanting to resort to cruelty.
After all, Alex had been by his side for over a dozen years.
He was more than a subordinate to him.
“Of course, Mr. Nicholas,” Alex answered. Even though he knew nothing of Nicholas’ plan, he had to obey any of his superior’s instructions.
Maybe things will be less complicated if Professor E has a talk with Mr. Nicholas!
Meanwhile, Jennifer finally discovered Nicholas’ identity, and it was only then that she learned he was the one who caused her to get into the car accident.
“D*mn it!”
As of then, Jennifer was in her office. The moment she registered the information on the documents, she was beside herself with rage, consumed with a strong urge to kill Nicholas there and then.
Yet, Nicholas was not a man she could kill.
“Ms. Whitley, this is all the information we’ve gotten. These people aren’t people we should be crossing, so please don’t ask us to look into this anymore.”
Even the people at the private detective agency were terrified.
If Nicholas were to find out that they had been snooping around, they would be dead meat.
“You can leave now. Don’t talk about this to anyone. I’ll be transferring the money straight into your accounts,” she ordered. From the documents, it was clear that Nicholas was head over heels for Sophie.
Jennifer, of course, was delighted to find out the answer to the question she had been wondering.
I wonder what Tristan will feel when he sees these photos. I truly wish to know what the look on Sophie’s face will be like after she finds out about this.
After Sophie was done with her morning classes, she went out of the room with Sandra, thinking of getting something to eat at the cafeteria. It was there she spotted Jennifer.
“Sophie, she must be here for you,” Sandra said when she noticed Jennifer staring at Sophie.
“She’s no one important. Just ignore her.” Sophie did not want to bother herself with Jennifer, for she saw no point in wasting her precious time on someone as trivial as her.
Yet, Jennifer jogged over to her.
“We need to talk,” Jennifer said in an arrogant tone. It was because she felt that she had the upper hand.
However, Sophie did not even lift her head to look at her.
“What do you want for lunch?” she asked Sandra instead.
At that, Sandra glimpsed at Jennifer, who was dressed in business attire. She doesn’t look like a good person at all. In fact, she’s annoying!
“Sophie Tanner, I’m talking to you! Is this what the manners of the third daughter of the Tanner family are?” Jennifer snarled.
Right then, Simon emerged from the classroom, only to see Jennifer being rude to the woman he admired.
Immediately, he shielded Sophie.
“Who do you think you are? Why are you looking for Sophie?” All Simon wanted was for Sophie to work in his family’s hospital, so he was determined to protect her.
The appearance of Simon made Jennifer burst out laughing.
“Sophie, I never thought that you’d be so unrestrained. You’re in a relationship with Mr. Tristan, but you’re cheating on him in university?” Jennifer mocked.
“You—” Sandra started, enraged by her words. How can she make someone so mad with just a few words? I’m this close to beating her up!
“Ms. Whitley, does this have anything to do with you? Perhaps your unrequited love was because of your irritating personality,” Sophie countered.
