He had been locked up ever since he brought up his intention to move the International Medical Association to Chanaea. Finally, he saw a ray of hope for him.
“Mr. Tristan, did Sophie ask you to come and save me?”
After being cut off from the outside world for so long, he was not aware of anything that was happening out there.
“This is not a good place to talk. Let's leave first! I will make arrangements for you to go to Chanaea when we get out.” After saying that, Tristan started making his way out with Barney.
Meanwhile, Sean and the other men had completely torn down the prison such that it would be impossible for anyone to find out who Barney's rescuers were.
Barney finally heaved a sigh of relief when he got into the helicopter.
“These people are too much! Medicine is without borders. I have contributed so much to Anglandur for so many years. I can't believe that they had me locked up!” Barney was boiling with anger.
Because of that, he was feeling even more determined to go to Chanaea.
“Dr. Smith, what happened was...” Tristan briefly told Barney about the situation in the country.
After listening to what happened, Barney instantly understood the reason for Tristan's presence in Anglandur.
“Send me back now!” Everyone knew how much Sophie's grandfather meant to her. As such, they should not wait any further.
“Don't worry. I've already arranged for a plane to take you back to Chanaea.” Tristan knew that Barney was very fond of Sophie.
With the doctor around, he was confident that nothing bad would happen to Josiah.
After sending Barney off, the group headed back to the mansion.
“Now that we have settled the first problem, the next would be to tackle the virus! That's definitely a tricky situation.” They were not the only people who were investigating the matter.
Eustace was in Anglandur as well.
However, no one had found any clues at the moment.
“Mr. Tristan, what should we do now?” Felix asked.
“Activate all our networks. We have to get to the bottom of this at all costs.”
Since the other party dared to attack Chanaea, Tristan would not let them off.
Otherwise, everyone would think that Chanaea was easy to mess with.
Sean nodded.
“Don't worry. I've already started to reach out to our contacts. We should be able to make some headway soon.” That concerned the reputation of a country.
As such, everyone was treating the matter with high importance.
It was a reflection of the nation's pride.
Charles nodded as well.
Just then, Ophelia arrived. She wanted to meet Tristan after knowing that he was in Anglandur.
He had been locked up ever since he brought up his intention to move the International Medical Association to Chanaea. Finally, he saw a ray of hope for him.
It had been a long time since she last saw him.
She was feeling very emotional as she stood outside the door.
Ophelia was a fiercely independent woman, but she started acting like a teenager because of Tristan.
She could feel her heart beating faster, knowing that she would be able to see the man soon.
After waiting for a while, the butler finally led her into the house.
“Why are you here?” Felix was somewhat satisfied with that mentee of his. However, he could not help but shake his head at the thought of her feelings for Tristan.
The fact that the woman had visited not long after they arrived in the country clearly showed that she had not given up on Tristan yet.
“I'm here to update you on some work-related matters.” Ophelia presented the perfect excuse for her to be there.
Her mood instantly brightened when she noticed that Sophie was not around.
Mr. Tristan must have realized that Sophie is not the best woman for him! That's why he did not let her tag along this time.
Even though Felix was feeling quite speechless, he still brought her inside.
“Mr. Tristan, she has something to report to you.”
“If it's regarding the branch office in Anglandur, you can report to Felix directly. There's no need to look for me!” Tristan was not in the mood for that.
He had to focus his energy and resources on investigating the virus and finding out who was behind it.
That was the only way he could help Sophie.
Ophelia's face fell when she heard that.
“Mr. Tristan, I—”
“All right. You may leave now.” Tristan did not have time to listen to all that nonsense.
Felix had no choice but to send the woman out.
“Haven't I already told you? You wouldn't get what you want. Stop wasting time.” She has a bright future in the company if she continues working hard. But things might end up differently if she insists on doing this.
“Mr. Northley, I...” Ophelia wanted to explain herself but swallowed her words when she saw that Felix had already shut his eyes.
How is it possible to hide your love for someone?
After Felix returned, the four men continued with their discussion.
Meanwhile, Barney had already arrived at the hospital. Felix had made arrangements for someone to fetch the doctor to the hospital immediately upon his arrival in Chanaea. After examining Josiah, Barney shook his head.
Morgan knew that Josiah's condition was hopeless from Barney's reaction.
The previous time when Josiah had an operation, Barney was also there. As such, the doctor was no stranger to Morgan.
He knew that Josiah's condition must be in dire straits for Barney to shake his head.
“We can only try to keep him with us for as long as we can.” We will at least have to wait for Sophie to be back to bid her last farewell to her grandfather.
Morgan was heartbroken to hear that.
However, he knew that they had already tried everything possible and had no other choice.
Nodding his head, the butler said to Barney, “We will have to trouble you then. Old Mr. Tanner's final wish is to see Sophie one more time. Let's try our best to make that happen.”
Otherwise, it would be a regret that would haunt the two people forever.
Barney passed some medicine to Morgan and said, “Feed him this medicine once a day. Let's hope he hangs in there a bit longer.”
There was nothing else they could do.
Sometimes, even the best doctor in the world would be defenseless when up against death.
Morgan took over the small medicine bottle at once.
“Okay then. I will be off to help Sophie.” Barney knew that Sophie was fighting alone and could not wait to join her.
The virus was simply too strange.
On the way to the hospital, he had already done some of his own research. However, there were some details that he had to discuss with Sophie.
Felix got someone to send Barney to the Central Hospital.
Sophie was in the midst of testing a new drug when the doctor arrived. She remained rather calm when she saw him and did not show any change in her expression.
“How is it going?”
Barney, who had already changed into protective gear, approached Sophie.
“We still haven't found the solution yet!” Although Sophie had been pulling multiple all-nighters, they had not made any progress. However, she knew that the process could not be rushed.
“Don't worry. I'm here to help you now. I'm sure we will be able to find the solution soon!” Barney said confidently before continuing, “Let's go and take a look at Arius first. Isn't he infected as well? We might get some important clues from him!”
Georgina had been staring at Barney as it was her first time seeing the man.
“Georgina, this is Dr. Smith. He's here to help us.” Sophie introduced Barney.
Dr. Smith?
Is he the Dr. Smith she knew?
The best doctor in the world?
“Is he Dr. Smith from the International Medical Association?” Georgina could not believe that she was meeting the legendary doctor personally. However, anything was possible when it came to Sophie.
