When Nicholas called, Sophie was deeply engrossed in a research project at the medical association. She felt no inclination to pick up the call when she saw the caller ID.
However, Nicholas was relentless as he called her again and again.
Arius, who had come over to look for Sophie, noticed her phone ringing and stepped in to hang up on Nicholas.
“Nicholas can be really tenacious, huh?” Is there really a point to doing this?
“Mm–hmm.”
After Arius rejected the call, there was finally peace.
“Just block his number later.”
“Yes, but even if you block this number, he can just switch to another number and continue calling me. For someone like Nicholas, that isn’t a problem at all,” Sophie replied, her voice heavy with annoyance.
She was sick of his relentless harassment, but there was nothing she could do. She could only ignore Nicholas‘ calls.
“You, my friend,” Arius said with a smirk, “only have yourself to blame for being so charming and attracting so many admirers.”
“I’d rather be without such charm.”
Sophie yearned for nothing more than peace to conduct her research. Everything else didn’t matter.
However, her moment of peace was short–lived. To her surprise, Nicholas showed up at the medical association and even entered her laboratory.
Arius and Sophie exchanged a look of disbelief.
“How did you get in?” Has the security become so lar?
Nicholas flashed her a charming smile.
“I came to see you! You wouldn’t answer my calls, so I had no choice but to come in person.” His words were laced with a hint of indignation.
“Why did you come looking for me?”
It looks like there is a need to reinforce security here at the medical association, Otherwise, anyone can just come in here.
I’m feeling unwell. So, I was hoping that you could examine me. Isn’t this your association’s primary research?”
“All right,” she replied tersely. “First, you need to undergo some preliminary tests.” Sophie didn’t wish to get into a fight with Nicholas in the laboratory.
Can I erase my existence from Nicholas‘ memory? Will that finally put an end to his relentless pursuit?
“Really? Have you agreed to examine me?”
“Yes,”
“All right. I’m going to give my cooperation for the preliminary tests, then.”
Sophie called someone to lead Nicholas out of the laboratory, and the man happily obliged. After all, he just wanted to spend more time with Sophie.
“Are you really going to examine him?” Arius asked. “He’s not even physically ill. It’s a mental issue.”
“Arius. I’m considering that perhaps I can erase myself from Nicholas‘ memories.”
She was about to marry Tristan. If Nicholas continued to obsess over her after she was married, it would be a nightmare.
Nicholas is only harassing me now. What about when Tristan and I have a child later on? Who knows what Nicholas might do to my child?
Nicholas was an unpredictable character with no moral compass.
He would do anything he wanted without a care for the opinions of others.
Arius pondered her words.
“Perhaps that’s possible,” Arius said. After all, they had the ability to eradicate genes and viruses. So, who was to say they couldn’t do the same for someone’s memories? “But that would require hypnosis, and Nicholas will never cooperate with us.”
“That’s why I agreed to examine him.”
“All right. I support you no matter what you decide to do.”
