Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Constance Insults Sophie

“All the preparations are complete, Old Mr. Tanner. Don’t you worry!” said the director as he personally escorted Josiah to the VIP ward.

Josiah simply chuckled in response as he knew he had nothing to worry about.

Tristan helped him get seated after the director left, and Sophie came over with Arius shortly after.

“Hello, Old Mr. Tanner. I’m Sophie’s senior. My name is Arius Gullifer,” Arius greeted him with a friendly and easy-going smile.

“Her senior, huh? Sophie, why didn’t you tell me about having a senior like him? What happened in Horington?”

Sophie shot Arius a glare. D*mn it! Why would he bring up the one thing I dread talking about the most? What happened in Horington is in the past, so I don’t want Grandpa to know about it! Besides, him finding out now won’t change a thing anyway. If anything, it’ll only make him worry even more!

“Relax, Grandpa! I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Josiah fell silent. But… I didn’t say she did anything wrong…

“Anyway, Arius is the doctor I found for you.”

Josiah started freaking out when he heard that the young doctor in front of him was named Arius.

Arius is a legend in the medical field! He’s the pride of Chanaea!

“You can just call him Ari, Grandpa.” Sophie wasn’t planning on introducing him at first, but she did so because she knew what Josiah was worried about.

Besides, Arius’ reputation could really come in handy.

Arius Gullifer, the only Chanaean in the international medical association. Young, famous, and possesses peerless medical skills. How is someone like him Sophie’s senior? How many more secrets are Sophie keeping from me? Also, she seems to be treating him a little differently. Are they really just senior and junior?

Tristan thought to himself as he glanced at Arius.

After what seemed like forever, Josiah finally found his voice and said, “Thank you very much, Dr. Gullifer!”

Arius scratched his head awkwardly and replied with a smile, “You can just call me ‘Ari,’ Old Mr. Tanner. Given my relationship with Soph, her grandpa is as important as mine! You really don’t have to be so formal with me.”

“That’s right, Grandpa! You can just call him ‘Ari!’ He’ll be in charge of your surgery, and the director will give him his full cooperation. I’ll keep you company in the hospital throughout the next few days, so you have nothing to worry about!” Sophie added.

Josiah frowned when he heard that.

“Since the surgery hasn’t started, you should all go do whatever it is you should be doing! What are you all standing here for? I have full faith in Ari’s medical skills!” Earlier on, he was skeptical about the surgery’s chances of success but found a glimmer of hope when he heard Arius would be performing the surgery. Maybe I will be able to see Soph get married and have kids, after all!

“Thank you for your trust in me, Old Mr. Tanner. I won’t let you down!” Arius promised.

“Of course I trust you! You’re the best medical practitioner in the world! Who else would I trust if not you?”

Sophie held Josiah’s hand with an anxious look in her eyes. Despite her usually being as cool as a cucumber, she found herself feeling uneasy when her grandfather’s life was at risk.

“I’ll be here with him, Soph. You can go do your work and come back when you’re free.” Arius didn’t want her to stick around as he knew she had a lot of work to do.

“What’s wrong with me being here? Why are you all trying to get rid of me?” Sophie asked with a frown. Does my presence really make them that uncomfortable?
