Tristan remained in the intensive care unit for another day after waking up, slipping between consciousness and sleep, but Sophie stayed with him all the time.
Tristan remained in the intensive care unit for another day after waking up, slipping between consciousness and sleep, but Sophie stayed with him all the time.

When Arius came in to check on Tristan and confirmed that everything was fine, everyone felt relieved to leave.

“Get some rest, Sophie. I'll be here. You have nothing to worry about.”

“I'm fine.”

Sophie just wanted to stay with Tristan, regardless of how long it would be. She felt safe around him.

“You don't look good, though. I'm afraid you might pass out if you keep this up.”

Arius was bent on stopping her from staying.

“Go on,” he continued. “Go rest. I'll stay with him.”

As a medical professor, Arius had the necessary skills to take care of Tristan, so he brought Sophie out of the ward before returning to Tristan.

Since Tristan was the man Sophie loved the most, Arius took it upon himself to give him the most attentive care.

Not long after, William arrived at the hospital. Sarah was startled when she saw him because it could only mean that the old man had found out that Tristan had been injured.

“Why are you here, Dad?”

“Why didn't you tell me anything? Do you guys still take me as your father? Where's Tristan? How's he?” William questioned.

“He's resting in the intensive care unit, Dad. Don't worry. The surgery went well,” Sarah admitted when she knew she could no longer keep the secret.

“Can I go in and see him?”

William could not put his mind to rest unless he saw his youngest son for himself.

He was worried because Tristan was his favorite. He was the old man's pride.

So, Sarah went to talk to Arius so the latter would go out and let William enter instead.

William was heartbroken when he saw Tristan in that state. As a child, Tristan had never made his father worry.

“What are you doing here, Dad? I'm fine. Please don't stare at me like this. You're scaring me,” Tristan said when he woke up.

“I guess you're well enough to tease me already. By the way, I thought you were stronger than this. I can't believe they got you just like that. What a shame.”

Dad, are you really here because you care for me?

“Anyway, I'm not letting this go. How dare they lay a finger on my son? I'll kill them!” William seethed.

“Stay out of this, Dad. I'll deal with them,” Tristan assured.

He would not be that badly injured if it were not for Felix. Tristan was trying to save him.

“How can I sit and do nothing? This is not the first time! There are too many people eyeing our family out there. It's impossible to just be on the defense all the time. It's all your fault. You've turned down all the blind dates I arranged for you. You must find a woman who has what it takes to protect you.”

Not again, Dad.

Tristan was left speechless.

“All right, Dad. I'm still a patient. I need to rest. You should go home now that you know I'm fine. You're old already. Don't strain yourself.”

“You must think I'm bothersome, don't you? What a brat!”

“I'm just worried you'll be tired!”

“Whatever! You should talk less and rest more. I'm glad Sarah is here. At least she can take care of you.”

Although William was also dissatisfied with Sarah for not getting married, he trusted Sarah would take good care of Tristan since she was reliable.

When William went out, Sarah and Ysabelle followed him immediately.

“I told you he's fine, Dad. You should just go home.”

“Look after him. Call me if you need anything.” Although William was no longer at the helm of the company, he still held much sway in many matters.

“I will. Don't worry.”

Then, Sarah asked the driver to send William home.

“Aunt Sarah, do you think Grandpa will be okay? Uncle Tristan has always been his favorite. Grandpa must be sad to see him like that.”

“You should probably keep him company. Felix is out of the woods already, so go over to your grandpa if you have time.”

Somehow, Sarah had also realized that William had aged.

“I will, Aunt Sarah.”

Everyone in the family had been occupied around that time, so no one had taken the time to talk to William.

Meanwhile, Sophie had just woken up after a nap. She had some food and went to see Tristan after that.

“I can take over, Sarah.” Sarah had also been standing by since the incident, and Sophie worried things might take a toll on her.

Seeing that Sophie was well-rested, Sarah nodded and got ready to leave.

“Stay here, then. I'll go home to shower and get changed.”

“You don't have to hurry back, Sarah. Just sleep at home tonight. I'll stay here.”

“Okay. Take care of yourself too.”

Sarah had always thought Sophie was just a young girl, but after what happened, she realized that Sophie was worth all of Tristan's love.

Arius was conducting a check on Tristan when Sophie entered.

“Everything looks good. We can transfer him to a regular ward already,” Arius announced after the check.

Since Tristan no longer required special care, he could be transferred out of the intensive care unit. After all, it was troublesome for visitors if he stayed there.

“Thanks, Arius.”

At that moment, Tristan had woken up.

“Well, you can treat me to a good meal after you recover.”

“Sure. Let's have a drink after I get out of this place.”

Sophie went over and held Tristan's hand.

“Is it still painful?”

Tristan shook his head.

“Don't worry. You did a great job. There's no way it'll be painful.” Tristan already found out that Sophie was the one who operated on him.

After Tristan was transferred out, he got a room next to Felix, who made a huge fuss about going to see Tristan when he found out about it.

Ysabelle could not persuade him otherwise, so she could only wheel Felix next door.

Everyone was stupefied when they saw Felix in a wheelchair.

“Don't look at me like that. I'm perfectly fine. It's just that this lady refuses to let me walk on my own,” he complained. Earlier, Ysabelle had insisted on using a wheelchair, making him look like he wasn't able to walk.

Charles could not help but laugh.

“Consider yourself lucky. Ms. Lombard has never cared for anyone like that, so don't complain.”

Felix's face lit up at the statement.

He's right. Ysabelle's been nicer to me ever since I got injured. She must really care for me.

Ysabelle's face flushed in embarrassment.

“Come on. I'll do the same for all of you if any of you is hurt too,” she explained immediately.

“No, thanks. I don't want to get injured,” Charles replied. He was afraid of pain.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Tristan. I should be the one protecting you, but you ended up injured because of me.” Felix had been feeling guilty because of what had happened.

He was thunderstruck the moment he saw Tristan collapsing after the gunshot.
