Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451

"Sophie, I don't mind falling sick if I can be your patient.”

“Stop spouting nonsense. All of us should stay healthy.”

Her purpose of becoming a doctor wasn't to treat them.

“Yeah, Ysabelle, what's up with you today?” Why is she talking about falling sick when everything is perfectly fine? Isn't it nice to live a healthy and carefree life?

Ysabelle realized she had slipped up. “Oh, I misspoke.”

“Touch wood! Nothing bad's going to happen.” Felix began feeling nervous. He liked Ysabelle and wanted her to be safe and healthy.

Ysabelle did as he instructed.

“Don't come looking for us doctors if you feel fine,” Arius said. “But as luck would have it, I'll be here if any of you gets sick, so don't worry.”

His credentials as a professor were certainly impressive.

“Honestly, Sophie, Mr. Tristan isn't getting any younger here. I thought both of you would tie the knot after your graduation, but finishing medical school will take at least five years. You wouldn't consider pursuing a Ph.D. like Arius, would you?”

Tristan would stay a bachelor for the next ten years if that were the case.

“You're too cruel toward Mr. Tristan.” Felix felt compelled to raise these concerns as Tristan's close friend.

Sophie shot Tristan a look. “Will you wait for me?”

He returned her gaze squarely and unflinchingly. “The rest of my life is yours. No matter how long you would take to complete your studies, I'll wait for you.”

“It's ten years, Mr. Tristan! Will you still be able to sire children by then?” That was a valid question.

Tristan's swept his gaze across Felix without a word, and the latter flinched timidly.

“How could you not think before speaking, Felix? Are you doubting Uncle Tristan? He's still young and virile. He will be able to wait twenty years, let alone ten.” Ysabelle came to Tristan's defense.

Sophie was a genius.

She would undoubtedly pursue a Ph.D., and she'd probably even achieve more than Arius.

Arius laughed. “Yes, Sophie is destined to be a doctor. Her accomplishments will surely surpass mine!” Her talents should never be held back by love.

Felix shrugged. Whatever.

He started to pity Tristan.

Charles chuckled. “Mr. Tristan, despite being the first among us to fall in love, you'll probably be the last to marry.”

Sean nodded his assent.

“However, waiting is worth it if you can be with the person you love,” he reflected poignantly.

“It's about time you let go, Sean. There is plenty of fish in the sea. Can't you look for another one?”

Why is he insisting on waiting for someone who will never return?

"You would never understand.”

There was no way he would settle for someone else after he had found the most important person in his life, for his heart already belonged to her.

“Sean is in love with someone?” Sophie was curious after hearing what Charles said since no one had mentioned anything about it.

“It's a one-sided love.”

“What?” Sean was normally aloof and reserved, so it was quite surprising to find out that he was experiencing unrequited love.

“That's right. It's indeed a one-sided love.”

Tristan would tell her anything she wished to know.

“But why are you suddenly so concerned about Sean?” he asked.

Unfortunately, he was too young and too proud, thus finding himself in this quandary at present—one that no one could solve.

“Go to her if you can't let her go. Perhaps she's waiting for you, too. One of you has to compromise first in a stalemate.”

“Would you if you were in my shoes? Would you put your pride aside and go to Mr. Tristan if you were separated from him one day?” Sean asked, curious.

Sophie was a proud individual. Would she lay her pride aside for love?

“I doubt that day will come because I'll never leave him.” The more time she spent with him, the more certain she was of her love for Tristan.

She would never let go of him since she loved him that much.

“You are very resolute. I'm envious of Mr. Tristan!”

“You don't have to. You can find happiness once you forgo your pride and go to her.” Everyone's definition of happiness varied, but in spite of everything, one could only have a chance at happiness by taking that first step.

Sophie returned to Tristan's side after her conversation with Sean.

"Sophie, you're paying too much attention to Sean.”

She had never shown such a level of interest in Felix and Charles.

“Am I?” She took a seat beside him. “We only exchanged a few words.”

"You are!”

“Are you going to pursue a Ph.D.?” Felix was right. He wasn't getting any younger. She would be twenty-eight years old in ten years. And he would be older.

Would she still be attracted to a middle-aged man like me by then?

Sophie cradled his face with both hands. “Why? What are you thinking? Don't worry. Even if I were to pursue a Ph.D., I won't need ten years to complete it.”
