Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728 Next Life

Hold on. Are all men so excited at the mention of this topic? Is there a need to stop the car at a place like this?

“I think it's getting late. We should head back now.” Sophie didn't want to dwell further on that matter. She was relatively shy, so she felt self-conscious if they continued discussing that.

Tristan unbuckled his seat belt, leaned forward, and kissed her lips. What should I do? This uncontrollable feeling within me is intensifying.

After a long and passionate kiss, Tristan uttered confidently, “Sophie, we'll definitely be happy.” That's right. We'll certainly be happy because we love each other.

“Okay. I trust you.” Both of them had decided to get married, so they would have to bear the responsibilities together regardless of what happened instead of blaming others.

“Because of you, I genuinely hope there's a next life. I can't help but feel that spending just one life with you is insufficient.”

Yet, chances for a subsequent life were slim, so he yearned to cherish his current life better.

“Okay.” She shared his sentiments. “That's enough. Let's go back now. I know everything that you want to say.” I know his intention, so stopping the car to engage in a conversation is unnecessary. However, I think he stopped the car because of the kiss!

“Okay.”

Tristan restarted the engine. Sophie had to go to the medical association that day, so it was about time for them to get moving too.

Upon arriving at the medical association, she noticed Barney's pale face and figured he might be feeling under the weather.

“What's the matter, Dr. Smith? Are you feeling ill? You should rest at home if that's the case. Why did you come here?”

“You're familiar with his personality. Now that there are so many things to deal with at the medical association, how is he willing to rest?” Arius had persuaded Barney earlier in the morning, but the latter had refused to heed his advice. “But you don't have to worry. He should be fine. He's a doctor, after all. He should know what he's doing.”

“Okay.”

Sophie was still worried even after listening to Arius' speech, so she went to meet with Barney.

“Dr. Smith, are you facing any difficulty? If there's any problem you cannot resolve on your own, you can discuss it with us. Perhaps if we put our heads together, we can develop a better solution.”

Enduring all the pressure alone would be truly exhausting.

Besides, we're a team now, so we should converse about any issues we faced to sort them out together.

Barney couldn't help but chuckle after taking in Sophie's demeanor.

“Don't worry. I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable. Perhaps I'm just a little tired from handling the mountainous tasks related to the medical association.” He was young when he founded the International Medical Association, so he wasn't as worn out.

As he was of advanced age now, it was normal for his body to fail to cope with that large amount of daily work.

“Okay. Is the International Medical Association still constantly troubling us?” Although the International Medical Association was based in Anglandur while the Chanaean Medical Association was located in Chanaea, the International Medical Association was relentless in making things difficult for Barney.

“Yes. They are still too cowardly to believe this and insist on thinking that I've betrayed them.” Barney felt helpless about that.

He had personally guided those people, but they were now ruthlessly impeding the development of the Chanaean Medical Association.

“Sophie, I thought it'd be smooth sailing for you to join the International Medical Association, yet so many things happened. I'm afraid our future path will remain rocky.” Barney was worried about her. After all, she was still a young girl and had never faced so many difficulties in her life.

“Dr. Smith, rest assured. There isn't a path in this world that is all sunshine and rainbows. Dealing with pitfalls is inevitable. I braced myself when I decided to join the medical association, so you don't have to worry about me.”

I'm not a weak person. I'll steel myself to face whatever may come.

“Okay. Still, I can't help but feel that I've misled you.”

“Dr. Smith, that shouldn't be a concern of yours. I'm doing this on my own accord, and my decision has nothing to do with you.” Besides, those members of the International Medical Association can't do anything to me.

“All right. You're about to get married to Tristan, right? I'll prepare a gift of your preference for you by then.”

Barney, the medical genius, had always doted on Sophie. He didn't have any children of his own, so he had been treating her as though she was his own daughter.

“Okay, Dr. Smith. I'll look forward to receiving your gift. You should go back and rest for today. I'll cover your part.”

“I'm honestly fine, and I don't need to rest. That's enough. Let's get to work. We don't have much time to spare.”

“I know we're running out of time, but you should still go back and get some rest. I'll finish your part of the work for today.”

Sensing her persistence, Barney had no choice but to take off his white coat.

“I'll let you handle this matter using your discretion. If you're too tired, we can do this tomorrow,” he said in resignation.

“All right. Don't worry. I'll ask Arius to send you back. Get plenty of rest when you're back home and don't overthink things, okay?”

“Okay.”

Indeed, a girl is better at caring for others.

Arius was astonished when he knew Barney had agreed to go back and take a break. “Dr. Smith, you're too biased! You wouldn't listen to me when I told you to go back and rest in the morning, but you accepted Sophie's suggestion after she said a few words to you.”

“That's enough. Since Dr. Smith is not feeling well, you should send him home and come back afterward.”

“Fine. Let's go, Dr. Smith. Are you seeing this? Aren't you touched to be on the receiving end of your mentees' concern?” Arius asked with a grin.

“Yes, I'm very moved. I can die without regrets even at this instant for having you two as my mentees.” I'm genuinely contented.

“What is that nonsense, Dr. Smith! We still have to create miracles for mankind together!” Life is short. To be able to collaborate with like-minded people in doing something one is passionate about is in itself a great pleasure.

Arius returned to the medical association after sending Barney home. Noticing Sophie doing Barney's work and taking in her serious demeanor, he assisted her from the side. The two were in sync and cooperated perfectly with one another.

In the end, they merely required another thirty minutes to determine the final outcome.

“I didn't expect you to be so efficient,” Arius exclaimed. I can't believe she's close to completing this task in under forty minutes.

“We don't know the result yet, so it's still too early for you to flatter me with compliments.”

“I'm not trying to flatter you. I'm genuinely jealous. How are you so competent?” Even Arius wasn't confident he could finish that experiment in such a short period.
