Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 I Do Not Live Just To Please You

Sophie was the one who did the suturing at the end of the surgery. Arius knew that she had been reading up a lot on that and that she was gifted in the procedural skill. Back when she was at Horington, she practiced on animals and participated in a few surgeries. Although those were nothing compared to that highly challenging operation, Sophie still performed splendidly.

Arius’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched her.

Dr. Smith is right. She’s a gem. I can totally see why he has always wanted to be her mentor. Her fingers are dexterous and she’s really good.

“Sophie, you should come with me to the medical association after your grandpa gets well.”

Arius was determined on nurturing her talent.

She was the most gifted person he had ever seen.

“We’ll see,” Sophie replied casually without taking her eyes off her hands.

It was her principle to always give all her attention to a patient when she was performing surgery.

She would not allow even the slightest mistake.

After closing up the wound, Sophie put aside the needle driver and looked at her suture work with a satisfied smile.

Seeing that Sophie was someone who derived joy from her work, Arius was confident that one day she would willingly join him.

“Good job. You may leave the rest to them,” he said.

The doctors and nurses came in in scrubs after Arius spoke. When they saw how the surgery was done, they could not help but marvel at the fine work.

When they looked back at Sophie, they could not see any expression on her face because she was still wearing a face mask and surgical cap. All they could see was a pair of cold eyes above the mask.

She walked out with Arius and went on to clean and tidy herself up. When she came back in a new set of clothes, she saw that the director was amazed by how well the surgery was done.

Sophie was not surprised to see the man’s expression. When people in Horington realized her talent, people from different sectors marveled at her ability and wanted her to join them as well.

The director walked toward her nervously, rubbing his hands together. He was thinking about how he could persuade the girl to apply for medical school and work for his hospital.

“Hi, um, Ms. Tanner. I believe you already know who I am. You see…”

Arius saw Sophie listening uninterestedly to the director when he came back out again.

He almost laughed at the sight because it reminded him of the past.

“Come on, you’re making her feel intimidated. She’s only in her senior year!” Although Arius dissuaded the director, he knew in his heart that Sophie would be a renowned doctor if she set her heart on studying medicine, but despite how much potential Sophie had, Arius still thought the man was being too pushy.

He would only scare her away.

The director pursed his lips and cleared his throat uneasily.

He’s right. I sound too desperate.

“What about this?” the director asked after a slight pause. “Come again tomorrow and we will talk about this after your grandpa’s surgery. Is that okay?”

Arius was left speechless. You still seem too desperate. Her grandfather has major surgery tomorrow and you’re talking about sending her to study. This is ridiculous. You’re only interested in getting her to work for you.

“Well… I’m really tired after this whole day. I think I could use some rest,” Sophie finally said.

Indeed, Sophie was spent. Although she was skilled, she was still inexperienced. Besides, she did not manage to have a good night’s rest before the surgery, so it went without saying that she was exhausted.

Arius felt bad for her seeing how worn out she was.

Being a doctor, especially a surgeon, was a taxing job. Every surgery was a test of one’s stamina.
