Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 342

It was Tristan's first time seeing her in that state, and that worried him.

“Stay calm. I'll get changed, and we'll leave together.”

How could he be at ease with letting her go by herself at a time like this?

“Okay, go and get changed. I'll wait for you in the living room.” At that, Sophie forced herself to calm down. What has happened has happened. The only thing I can do now is resolve the issue. Anyway, what's most important at this moment is to ensure that Sunny's fine.

Meanwhile, Tristan darted into the room to change before driving Sophie to the hospital.

On their way there, Sophie was exceptionally silent. Even though he knew she was physically beside him, he could sense that her mind was far from him.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Tristan then reached out with his other hand to pull her hand to his lips.

“Hey, it'll be fine.”

Sophie glanced at him.

“Mr. Tristan, Clayton must have a death wish, right? How dare he lay a finger on my people? I'm going to make his life a living hell!”

In the past, Sophie had been contented with simply teaching him a lesson.

It looked like she had been too merciful toward him. In a way, her kindness was the cause of Sunny's suffering.

If she had dealt with Clayton back then, Sunny would not have had to go through this pain.

“Okay. I'll support you no matter what your decision is. Even if you're planning to end Clayton's life, I'll help you.”

Sophie said nothing to that.

Nothing she said could be of any use.

Silently, she made up her mind to never let anyone have the chance to hurt the people around her again.

When Sophie and Tristan arrived at the hospital, Mark and the others were outside. Upon seeing Sophie, Mark shot a glance at Jonathan.

Jonathan could only pretend to not notice that.

It was desperation that drove him to call Sophie.

Regardless of everything, Sophie had Tristan's support. As long as it was a matter concerning Sophie, Tristan would surely intervene.

“Sophie, why are you here? Go home. Sunny's fine,” Mark lied, not wanting her to worry.

The four of them would be enough to stand guard by Sunny's side.

“How is Sunny?” she asked, ignoring Mark's words.

Mark was forced to answer, “The doctor said that he's not in any mortal danger.”

“I want to take a look at him,” she replied. There was no way she could be at ease unless she saw Sunny herself.

“You should go home, Sophie. Sunny's asleep right now. Your presence will only disturb his rest,” Mark patiently told her.

Yet, Sophie was not going to listen to him.

There was only one reason for them to behave this way: Sunny was badly hurt.

Sophie pushed open the door.

The moment she saw the grievously injured Sunny, she clenched her fists.

Clayton. Zales.

Sophie closed her eyes. How long has it been since I've felt such anger? Clayton is really making my blood boil.

Meanwhile, even Tristan, a man who had seen much in his life, had inhaled sharply upon seeing Sunny on the bed.

Clayton's too unbelievable. I can't believe he has the guts to do this to one of my men!

“Sunny, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you, but don't worry, I'll definitely make Clayton pay ten times the price for this!”

They did not leave after that, for they could not bring themselves to do so until they saw Sunny was awake.

At the same time, Tristan remained by Sophie's side, never once leaving her alone.

Around three in the morning, Sunny finally opened his eyes.

When he saw the group of people in the ward, he held his breath.

Did I trouble them again?

Hence, the first thing he said was, “I'm sorry.”

“Sunny, how could you be so impulsive? Didn't I tell you that you can rely on me, your team leader? You didn't need to worry about this!”

“I can't believe you went to look for Clayton alone and ended up like this. Do you know how worried we were?”

Initially, Mark did not wish to mention such things, but he could not hold himself back when he saw Sunny open his eyes.

“I'm sorry...” Sunny repeated, his eyes dim.

It felt as if he was utterly useless—as if the only thing he knew how to do was to create trouble for someone else. Sunny, too, was irked by himself.

“Mark, that's enough. Let him rest first. I'll deal with the rest. None of you should do anything recklessly anymore.”

Sophie's heart had finally descended from her throat back to her chest when she saw that Sunny was awake.

“Sophie, I'm really—”

“It's fine, Sunny. You don't need to say anything. I understand.”

I understand that Clayton's a wicked man.

“Sophie, they even took videos of this. This...”

They were the ones who would suffer from the incident, for Clayton had the upper hand and would only benefit from the exposure of the incident.

“Okay, I got it,” Sophie responded. It did not matter what Clayton had in hand. Sophie was certainly going to make Clayton pay for what he did.

“Sophie, don't cross Clayton because of me. That man is too horrifying.”

Mark's heart ached terribly when he heard Sunny say those words. Like Sophie, he had made up his mind; he was not going to let Clayton go just like this.

“Sunny, no matter what kind of decision I make, it isn't completely because of you, so don't feel pressured about this.” Sophie knew Sunny had always felt guilty about it, and she could guess that this incident had happened because he did not want to drag her into the mess.

“All right, the one and only thing you should be doing right now is to rest well. Don't fret over other things.”

“Okay, I understand. Go home now; it's late,” Sunny said, not wanting Sophie to stay up all night by his side.

“Okay.”

“Let's hire a caretaker for him. All of you should head back to rest. Everything will be fine with the caretaker around.” By then, Tristan had already made arrangements for the best caretaker to come to Sunny's ward.

“He's right. Go home and rest. I'm fine. I just need to rest for a few days.”

This is all my fault. I don't even know what other issues The Wheelers are going to face because of me, Sunny thought, feeling ashamed.

“Go on. I'll stay here to take care of Sunny. You guys can come and take my place tomorrow,” Mark said to the other three.

“Mark, I'll stay.”

“No, go home. Everyone's tired,” Mark insisted.

No matter what happened, he was not going to let Sunny stay in the hospital alone. The Wheelers' members were close, so they would never blame each other for anything. They were a team, after all. They were bound together for better and for worse.

Sophie was quiet the entire time, from when they left the hospital until they entered their car. The silence was a sign of how furious Sophie was.

“You have my support in everything you do. It's time for Clayton to get out of our sight,” Tristan snarled. How dare Clayton do this despite knowing that The Wheelers are my people? I'm not going to let him off the hook for this!

“Mm, I know.” Similarly, Sophie was going to settle the score with Clayton.

Unsurprisingly, the video of a member of The Wheelers hitting someone trended the next morning.
