“Why are you still not listening to me? If you left Tristan earlier, this wouldn't have happened. Just exactly what is it about him that makes you so loyal to him?”
Nicholas could not understand her.
“That's enough. Let's leave now or it'll be troublesome when Tristan comes back.”
Nicholas was not afraid of Tristan, but he did not want to stir up trouble at that moment. All he wanted was to take her away.
“Stay where you are, Nicholas!”
Sophie was utterly displeased with the situation.
It was an awful feeling not being able to deal with someone like Nicholas. Even worse, she had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.
“Don't worry. I'll take good care of you as long as you leave with me. We'll definitely love each other in the future.” Nicholas was willing to ignore everything that had happened in the past. After all, he still loved her.
It was at that moment Sophie realized she could not communicate with a madman.
Sadly, no one realized a maniac had entered her room. That feeling made her feel worse.
Nicholas had already prepared a wheelchair knowing that she could not walk. Right then, he walked to her bed, wanting to carry her to the wheelchair, and put a wig on her.
“Nicholas!” Sophie was infuriated, yet there was nothing she could do. “Don't touch me!” She never liked anyone touching her.
Hearing that, Nicholas held her by the chin and said, “Look at you. You've lost weight. It's all because Tristan didn't take good care of you. I'm not wrong about wanting to take you away. That's enough now. It's time you behave. I'm doing everything to take you away only because I really love you. Then again, I know how much you hate me. I'm sorry for what I'm about to do. I just don't want to cause a disturbance for others.”
With that, Nicholas pulled out a syringe.
Sophie immediately widened her eyes and stared at him in utter disbelief.
He prepared so many things. He's really set on taking me away.
“I'll be gentle.”
It's only a sedative and it's harmless to her. There's nothing she has to worry about.
“Nicholas, Barney and Arius are here. If I leave this place today, I might not be able to stand in the future. Do you really wish to see me like that?”
Didn't he say he likes me? If he truly likes me, he should consider my well-being, right?”
“I've also mentioned that I've hired the best doctor. He's waiting there now. Even if you can't walk in the future, I will never leave you.”
He was fine with anything, as long as she was by his side.
After disguising her, he placed her in the wheelchair.
“Oh, that reminds me. Cecelia is with me. If you don't behave, I'll leave scars on her face. If I remember correctly, she relies on her looks to make a living. I show no one mercy apart from you,” said Nicholas nonchalantly.
That was how he was—cold-blooded and merciless.
“Don't you dare touch her!” Sophie knew it would not be easy to deal with Nicholas.
“Don't you believe me? I can call my men and show you what Cecelia looks like now.”
If not for Sophie's wounded leg, she would never let herself land in such a disadvantageous situation.
It was a horrible feeling, and she hated it.
Regardless, she had no other choice at that moment.
“Don't give me that look, Sophie. I'm doing this for your own good.”
She shouldn't blame me. I only want the woman I like to be with me. What's so wrong with that? She should understand this.
After placing her in the wheelchair, Nicholas said, “Don't make a single sound no matter who you see along the way. Think of your best friend.”
With that, he injected the sedative into Sophie.
The chemical could make her quiet temporarily.
At the end of the day, he did not trust her. Moreover, the hospital was filled with Tristan's men. Tristan would never spare Nicholas if he knew what the latter was up to.
Hence, Nicholas had no choice but to use that method.
Noting the hatred in her eyes, he put a mask over her mouth and said, “I love you, so I deserve your forgiveness for whatever I do.”
Soon, the wig and the mask were put on. No one will know she's Sophie, not even Tristan.
“All right. I'll take you home now.” Nicholas had waited for this moment for a long time.
Hence, he could not wait to leave the hospital as soon as possible.
With that, Nicholas pushed the wheelchair out.
That whole floor was crowded with Tristan's men. The sight of Nicholas pushing a wheelchair out still caught their attention.
Just then, Sarah arrived to pay Sophie a visit. When she walked passed Nicholas and Sophie, she did not realize the person sitting in the wheelchair was the person she was looking for.
It was not until she opened the door to the ward to find an empty room did she realize something was wrong.
With trembling hands, she hurriedly dialed Tristan's number. Just then, he had finished showering and was getting ready to return to the hospital when Sarah's call came in.
“What's up, Sarah?”
“Tristan, are you with Sophie now? Isn't she not allowed to leave her bed?” asked Sarah, holding on to the last shred of hope.
No one would be so crazy to take her away, right? There is no way she can leave the hospital in her current state.
“What do you mean? Sophie's not with me now. Is she not in the ward?” Not only did Tristan place many of his men outside the ward, but Sophie also could not get out of bed in her current condition.
Sarah panicked when she heard that.
“She's not in the ward. I just arrived, and the ward's empty. Who on earth took her away?”
If this were in the past, Tristan would not be worried.
However, things were not the same now. Sophie could not walk and had just awoken. She had not recovered all her strength yet.
If someone wanted to harm her, it would be a piece of cake for them.
“Wait there. I'll get my men to search the place.” Tristan, too, lost his cool. Regardless, what was more important at that moment was to find Sophie as soon as possible.
Otherwise, everything else would be useless.
Meanwhile, Sophie really wanted to scold Nicholas, but she could not speak. This freak is really crazy. It's no use no matter how hard I try to convince him.
Nicholas looked more relieved the moment they left the floor.
“This is great. It's perfect. Tristan won't be able to find us even if he discovers you're missing,” he said. This is the best ending! It's so great!
“Sophie, we can stay together forever now.” Nicholas never wanted to part from her in the future.
