Chapter 739
The day had been tiring for everyone, so William was okay with staying in the ward alone while the others returned home to rest.
“Mhm, got it,” Tristan uttered. I’ve stationed plenty of people here, so I don’t think there’ll be any problems.
After he stepped out, he saw Sophie sitting on the chair in the corridor alone. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but her expression is making my heart wrench.
Slowly, he approached and informed her, “My dad’s fine, so you don’t need to worry about him. We can head home now.” She must have been worried earlier.
In response, she stood and hugged him.
Hoarsely, she said, “It’s Nicholas!”
So, it was him. The phrase “give up” doesn’t seem to exist in this man’s dictionary. Why does he keep bothering us? Can’t he live a good life without interfering with ours? Tristan uttered, “I see. Don’t worry. I won’t allow anyone to hurt my family. We were careless this time, but it won’t happen again.”
Sophie nodded. “Mhm.”
She didn’t want to say too much about the matter as she believed certain things could be settled without his knowledge.
“Let’s go back! You must be tired right now, so let’s return home and rest. Don’t think about anything else.”
“Okay.”
Before they left, they visited Sarah’s ward. While she wasn’t severely injured, it was still recommended she stay in the hospital for observation, so she did.
When the couple arrived, Juan did, too. Apparently, he managed to learn of the news.
“Why are you here?” Sarah was surprised by Juan’s appearance because news of the accident was supposed to have been kept a secret.
Juan was completely shaken when he heard Sarah had been in an accident. However, he was put at ease after seeing she was okay.
Caringly, he asked, “I heard you were in an accident, so I came to visit. Are you okay?” I was never appreciative of Sarah when she was still by my side. Only after she withdrew herself from my world did I realize I’d become accustomed to her presence around me.
“Yeah, I’m fine. You can return home now.” In the past, Sarah would’ve been happy he visited. Now that I’ve genuinely given up on him, I no longer feel awful, which is a little surprising to me.
“All right.” Juan wasn’t expressive, so he wasn’t sure how to respond to her.
Even though he wanted to stay, he felt the only thing he could say was, “In that case, I’ll leave now. Take good care of yourself.”
Sarah hummed in agreement. She wasn’t a mind reader, so obviously, she had no idea what was going through his mind.
However, it didn’t matter anymore.
When Tristan entered the room with Sophie and saw Juan, he nodded at the latter. Juan spent the last few years entangled with Yvette, so why is he here after Sarah was involved in an accident? What is he trying to do?
Juan left the room after greeting the couple.
“What was he doing here?” inquired Tristan, displeased. I know he doesn’t like Sarah, so why is he complicating his relationship with her when it has long ended? He should give it a rest already.
“I also don’t know why he came. Although, this is the hospital, not our house. He can come and go as he pleases.” In reality, Sarah was a little delighted by his visit. It’s evident he still cares about me to some degree, especially because my accident has nothing to do with him.
“Fine. In any case, I don’t like Juan’s attitude toward relationships. Just do as you see fit.” Tristan was aware that relationship matters were often unclear and messy, so he knew better than to interfere.
“I know. Anyway, Dad and I are doing fine. You two should return now to rest since it’s getting late,” urged Sarah. It’s pointless for them to stay, anyway.
Sophie nodded. “Then we’ll take our leave now, Sarah. Tomorrow morning, I’ll bring breakfast for you two.”
“All right. I’ll be waiting for your breakfast.” There was a touch of joy on Sarah’s countenance.
Her mood was lifted just because Juan cared enough to visit her.
In the end, it was because she still liked him and couldn’t let him go.
After Tristan and Sophie left, they closed the door and saw Juan standing outside.
He was holding a cigarette between his fingers, standing motionlessly with a lonely expression.
Tristan knitted his eyebrows. I can’t believe he still hasn’t left yet. I’m tempted to say something, but I know I shouldn’t since this is Sarah’s matter.
Hence, he silently left with Sophie, his arm wrapped around her shoulders. I’m happy right now, and I do hope Sarah can find her own happiness. If she ends up in a romantic relationship with Juan, I think I can still accept it.
“Are you worried about Sarah? You know you don’t need to, right? Sarah’s a grown woman. She knows what she’s doing,” remarked Sophie. Based on what I’ve observed, there’s no doubt Juan has feelings for Sarah. He wouldn’t have visited in the middle of the night otherwise, especially with that expression.
Tristan nodded. “Mm. Let’s go. I doubt we can help them out with their romantic relationship. No matter what happens, we should just stay on the sidelines and watch how everything unfolds.”
“Yep.”
After the two reached the hospital’s underground parking lot, he opened the car door for her before entering the vehicle.
Then he gave Sean a call.
Sean was aware Tristan would call him, which was why he was still awake and waiting.
The moment the call connected, Tristan went straight to the point. “Nicholas was behind the accident!”
“What are you planning to do?” inquired Sean. I knew it. This wasn’t just a simple accident. Now that Nicholas has struck a nerve by hurting Tristan’s family and Sophie, I doubt Tristan will remain idle. This time, Nicholas is probably going down.
“I’ll let you decide.”
It was a vague statement, but Sean understood what Tristan meant. I guess it’s time to eradicate that nuisance once and for all.
