Chapter 768
“Really! I’m fine! If I weren’t, I would’ve definitely told you!” Sophie exclaimed.
“Fine!” Dylan said exasperatedly. Since Sophie put it that way, it was not a good idea for Dylan to persist. After all, Sophie could now handle difficult situations on her own.
There were no problems at all.
“Captain Green, are you still looking for your daughter?” That was the reason Sophie came looking for him.
A few years ago, Dylan’s only daughter was kidnapped by a criminal gang. His wife was also brutally murdered.
Others would feel sympathetic when they thought of what Dylan had been through.
Dylan nodded when he heard Sophie mention his daughter.
“Yes. I believe my daughter is still alive. She must be waiting for me to rescue her.” Although many years had passed, he had never given up looking for her.
“Mmm.” Sophie had always known about Dylan’s determination.
She had been paying attention to the case and helping him all these years.
However, despite her efforts and connections, she did not succeed.
It was as if Dylan’s daughter had disappeared into thin air. There wasn’t a single clue about her whereabouts.
“All right. Don’t look at me like that. I’m doing fine now.” He could only continue to spend his time and focus on work to make him forget about the pain of the past.
“Okay.”
Sophie was not used to comforting others.
Hence, she did not know what else to say to him.
“I’ll get some people to help you look for her.” There had to be some closure for him, whether his daughter was alive or not.
As the two of them were immersed in their conversation, Sophie’s phone suddenly rang.
“Come here! The camp commander said he wanted to see you!” Tristan’s deep and sexy voice could be heard from the other end of the phone.
“All right. I got it. I’ll head over right now.”
A smile appeared on Sophie’s lips as she hung up the phone.
“Who was that?” Dylan asked curiously. He had never seen such a gentle expression on Sophie’s face before.
“My boyfriend. Come on! I’ll introduce him to you!” With that, Sophie led Dylan toward the camp commander’s office.
“Sophie, don’t you dare try to scare me! Are you telling me that your boyfriend is the camp commander? Absolutely not! Although he isn’t married yet, he’s old enough to be your father.”
Sophie was at a loss for words.
“Captain Green, what a creative imagination you have. When did I ever say that the camp commander is my boyfriend?” She hoped Tristan did not hear what Dylan said.
Tristan and the camp commander were chatting when Sophie and Dylan arrived at the office.
They finished discussing business and made small talk while waiting for Dylan and Sophie.
“Dylan, come and see who’s here.”
Dylan was shocked when he saw that it was Tristan. Could he be Sophie’s boyfriend?
“Please don’t tell me you’re Sophie’s boyfriend.” Hmm… Indeed. Only someone like Tristan was suited for Sophie.
“That’s right. I’m her boyfriend. What’s up? Do you have anything against it? Not only am I her boyfriend, but I’m also her fiancé.” Just what kind of tone is he using to talk to me?
“Are you kidding me, Tristan? How can you lay your hands on such a sweet young girl?”
Tristan was speechless.
“Dylan, it’s been a while since we fought, right? Let’s have a go at it right now.” What does he mean by me touching such a sweet young girl? Am I that old?
Dylan shook his head.
“That’s not what I meant. Forget it. I don’t want to fight you.” This is Sophie’s boyfriend. What would I do if I injured him?
The camp commander watched as the two of them argued with one another. Oh, boy. They’re always like this whenever they meet each other.
He shook his head as a grin crept onto his lips.
“Sophie, I didn’t expect your boyfriend to be Tristan!” Tristan and the others were friends. To be more specific, they were sworn brothers.
“Long time no see, camp commander.” Back then, if the camp commander had not discovered Sophie and brought her back to camp, she would not have survived.
Hence, she was grateful to the camp commander for the gift of life.
“Yes, indeed, it has been a while since we met. Geez. You left after saying you would do so. You never even thought of coming back to visit us.”
“Haha. I’ll return more often to visit you all in the future then,” Sophie said with a smile.
“Since you’re here, let’s have dinner together. I’ll treat you,” the camp commander suggested.
Tristan immediately rejected his offer. “It’s all right. We have something to attend to tonight, so we can’t have dinner with you. Let’s take a raincheck on it.”
Sophie thought he was talking about the annual party of Lombard Group, so it was only natural that she had no other opinions.
“Okay. Please go ahead with your plan then.” The camp commander also did not want to force them to stay behind.
Dylan thought it was a pity. After all, it had been some time since Sophie returned to the camp. Plus, he also knew that Sophie had been helping him look for his daughter all this while.
Although there were no leads at the moment, he would remember the help she had provided.
“Sophie, words can’t express how grateful I am to you. Let me know if you need help in the future. You can also tell me if he bullies you.” Dylan had always treated Sophie as his sister. Hence, he did not
wish to see anyone bully her.
“Hey, Dylan. Are you done? You should mind your own business,” Tristan said curtly.
Why would I bully her? I feel like all the time in the world is insufficient for me to spoil her. How will I ever bully her!
“Go ahead with your work then, Captain Green and camp commander! It’s been a while since I’ve been back. I want to take a walk around!” Sophie exclaimed. After all, this was the place I trained for a year.
“Sure. Go ahead!”
Although there were a few changes in the place, it still looked similar. They had no reason to stop her from taking a look either.
“Okay. Oh, right. When the time comes, please attend our wedding,” Tristan said proudly when he remembered that he and Sophie would get married soon.
He could not help but feel smug about it.
I’m sure no one understands this kind of feeling, right?
“Of course. Don’t worry! If the time comes, we’ll make time to attend no matter how busy we are.” After all, their wedding was not something that anyone could show up if they wanted to.
Tristan held onto Sophie’s hand after they left the camp commander’s office.
“You and Dylan seem to have a good relationship,” said Tristan.
“Yeah. He used to be my instructor.” He could also be considered Sophie’s mentor. Although she had left the camp, she was still worried about Dylan.
“I see. I’ve also been looking for his daughter but have no leads or clues. I’m afraid something tragic might’ve befallen her.”
It might seem that Tristan always argued with Dylan, he was very sympathetic toward Dylan, especially with what the latter had gone through.
He was not one to feel sympathetic toward others.
However, what Dylan had gone through was terrible. Hence, Tristan always sent people to keep looking for Dylan’s daughter.
Yet, there was no progress.
It was cruel for a father to go through such a thing. Dylan watched his wife die a tragic death. He also did not know his daughter’s whereabouts, nor did he know if she was still alive.
“Exactly! But no news could also mean good news.” If his daughter is still alive, then they’re bound to meet again in the future.
Even if we can’t find her, as long as she’s still alive, it’ll still be a form of consolation for Captain Green.
