Chapter 952 Send Winter Home
“I’ve already considered every possible method, Mr. Tristan, but we still can’t find him,” said Bertram. “I’m going out in a while. Do you want to come with me, Tristan?” Sophie asked.
“Yes.”
He was going to follow her wherever she went. Even though she was a capable person, they were in Fandar, a place of chaos.
If even someone like Felix could disappear there, there was no way Tristan could ever let Sophie roam the place on her own.
“Don’t worry. We’ll find him,” Sophie comforted the man. He must be feeling awful. It’s his good friend, after all.
“I know.”
“Where are you going, Ms. Tanner? I’ll drive you there,” offered Bertram. Things were too messed up at the place. Moreover, Bertram was more familiar with the area since he had been living there for some time.
“It’s okay. I need you to stay here to take care of Ysabelle for me. Don’t let her run around wherever she wants,” Sophie instructed. At that moment. Ysabelle was like a delicate little bunny. Danger would be upon her if she went out.
“All right. Don’t worry, Ms. Tanner. I’ll take good care of her,” promised Bertram, nodding firmly.
Soon, Sophie found a picture of Felix on her phone. She made a few copies of it and went out with Tristan.
“Where are we going?” asked Tristan.
He had no clue where Sophie wanted to go.
“To find someone. Relax. I love you, so I won’t sell you off, Sophie joked to lighten the moo
“Okay.”
Tristan knew why she was doing what she was doing, but he could not dismiss the heavy feeling heart. In fact, he would not be able to relax as long as Felix was not found.
When the car arrived at a remote area, Sophie made a call and waited in the car. In the meantime, she rolled down the car windows and watched the children outside. The fear of war was palpable in their ey
No ordinary citizen in the world liked wars because the devastation they wrought was too great.
More importantly, they were still children, and many had already died in such a high-tech war before they could even experience what it was like to grow up.
Tristan, too, stared at the children outside.
“Kids born in this area are really pitiful.” Not a single kid dared to approach the car.
“Mm… Maybe we can help them.” Only when the horrible humans stopped wreaking havoc there would the children live to see the future.
However, that could only be done after Felix was found.
“I’ll be with you no matter what you want to do. Just don’t abandon me.”
Indeed, he was willing to do anything for her.
Right then, an old man in tattered clothes approached their car.
When Sophie caught sight of the elderly man, she stepped out of the car and walked over to him.
“Ms. Tanner, is there something you need?” The elderly man eyed her with immense respect.
“It’s like this. I want you to help me find this man. Once you have news about him, I’ll need you to send someone to report to us at this address.”
While saying that, Sophie handed the photograph to the elderly man.
Accepting the photograph, Arthur Camidge said, “All right, Ms. Tanner. Don’t worry. We’ll do our best to fulfill your request.”
The two conversed using the local language, which surprised Tristan.
He had no idea Sophie was fluent in that language. Did she come to Fandar in the past?
“Thank you in advance,” said Sophie. That was one of the ways to find someone in a poor and backward place.
Arthur knew everyone from all over Fandar. He was like the leader of a gang from the past.
Only when the elderly man walked away with the photograph did Sophie return to the car.
“What is it? Do you have questions?” she asked Tristan upon seeing his confused face.
“How are you able to speak the language here? Did you come here before?” he queried. Wasn’t she always in Jipsdale and Horington?
“I came here once in the past.” Thus, Sophie briefly explained her time there, which was when she got to know Arthur.
“I see.” Tristan did not press on, for he figured she did not have a good experience here.
“I’ve asked him to help us find Felix. He’ll go to the base if he has any news.”
“Okay. Looks like you’re acquainted with many big shots, Sophie. You’re so famous even in a place like Fandar.”
Tristan was impressed by his wife.
“It’s nothing, really. The most powerful one I know by far is sitting right beside me,” said Sophie with a
chuckle. “Come on. Let’s go back.”
She was worried about Ysabelle being alone at the base.
Upon arriving at the base, Sophie and Tristan saw an extremely disheveled-looking Winter outside. Despite Fandar being in such chaos, she still could not return to her home country.
The moment she saw Tristan, she burst into tears.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Tristan. I know I was wrong. Please let me return to Jipsdale! It’s too scary here. I don’t want to die yet!”
Winter had tried calling Charles, but her brother did not answer. She could not help but wonder if she was truly such a disappointment to the family.
A frown etched itself between Tristan’s brows the moment he saw her. Why is she here?
“I’m begging you, Mr. Tristan! I won’t show up in front of you ever again! Please let me go back!”
Winter truly regretted it. Life in Fandar was a living hell. She lived in fear every day, feeling as if she could die from a gunshot anytime.
“Enough. Send her back already.” Sophie did not like seeing people cry, not to mention the woman crying was Charles’ younger sister.
Winter cast Sophie a conflicted gaze.
This woman really has a huge influence on Mr. Tristan. All this time, I thought he was just toying with her. Turns out he’s sincere about the relationship.
“Shouldn’t you be thanking Ms. Tanner? Where are your manners?” Tristan could not say no when Sophie had already spoken up.
However, his words put Winter in a dilemma.
After all, Winter was asked to thank Sophie, the woman she had never liked.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to? Sure. You can continue staying in Fandar, then.” Tristan could not be bothered to waste another second on an unreasonable woman.
“Thank you, Ms. Tanner,” Winter forced out.
“Mm.”
Sophic did not so much as glance at Winter. The only reason she asked Tristan to send Winter back was that the latter had a great brother. In other words, Sophie was doing it for Charles’ sake.
“Let’s go in.”
Tristan wrapped an arm around Sophie’s shoulder without sparing Winter another glance. Meanwhile, the latter entered the base hurriedly.
The refugees out there were too scary. Winter did not want to stay out there a second longer.
As soon as Sophie entered the base, she saw Bertram discussing something with his subordinates.
His eyes lit up at the sight of the couple as if he had seen his savior.
Bertram and his men were at a loss for what to do.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Sophie had never seen that look on Bertram’s face before.
“I think Ms. Lombard isn’t used to the food here. She refuses to eat anything. All she does is watch the surveillance footage.”
Bertram was aware of Ysabelle’s relationship with Felix. Thus, he understood what she was going through when he saw her in such a state.
“Okay. I’ll check on her.”
While Sophie went into the technical department, Tristan stayed outside.
“Bertram, get someone to send Ms. Quigley back.” Tristan ordered.
