Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 737

Chapter 737 Silent Comfort

The atmosphere in the car was light-hearted throughout the journey. William was in a cheery mood despite the exhausting day.

“Sarah, even your brother is getting married. As the elder sister, shouldn't you start planning for your future? It doesn't bode well to keep procrastinating! Everyone should find a special someone that they belong with. I can't help feeling concerned about you if you don't take action soon.”

“Dad, Lincoln already has Ysabelle, while Tristan will be married soon. I'm sure he'll give you a grandchild in no time. Just let me be! I'm happy with the state of life I'm in right now.” She genuinely felt content and didn't want to change a thing.

“Is it because you still can't let go of Juan? If he's the only one for you, why not give it a shot? He's single now, isn't he?”

William had finally thought things through and come around.

There was no helping it if Sarah only had eyes for Juan. He couldn't possibly let his daughter become a spinster.

“Dad, I do not want to think about such things right now. Of course, I hope to find someone after seeing how blissful Tristan and the others are, but that someone has to love me with all his heart. Or else, I'd rather be alone forever.”

Sarah had a set of principles that she lived by, and she'd rather live a solitary life than settle for anything less than true love.

“Oh, you! What else can I say? You've always been a headstrong child. Regardless, I still don't think this is the right way to go about your love life!”

William believed that she should go ahead and pursue whoever she liked fearlessly.

It served no purpose to keep her feelings hidden.

Richard parked his car at an inconspicuous corner. Nicholas' senses sharpened at the incoming sound of a car engine.

He could not forget Sophie, no matter what she did to him. His resolve to get together with her had never once wavered.

Richard handed him a pair of binoculars.

Nicholas looked into it and, after identifying the person in the car, reached for his handgun.

“Boss, what do you think you're doing? We'd be in deep trouble if we were to kill someone in Chanaea!”

Their headquarters were situated in Anglandur while they were currently on Tristan's territory.

It was unlikely that they'd leave Chanaea if things went south.

“Don't worry. I'll spare their lives. I'm just going to teach them a lesson.”

With that, he aimed his gun at a car tire and fired with such precision that it punctured instantly.

Because of that, the car spun out of control.

William covered Sarah with his body in the nick of time after hearing the gunshot.

The driver was shocked yet managed to regain his senses swiftly enough to wrest control of the car. Nonetheless, it still collided with the barrier on the side of the street.

Thankfully, it was a well-built car that didn't explode despite being thrown sideways.

“Dad, are you all right?” Sarah's voice trembled. She only suffered some light wounds thanks to her father's timely protection.

William was injured too, but all he cared about was Sarah's well-being. Unlike him, Sarah was still young and had a future ahead of her.

“I'm fine. How about you? Are you hurt, Sarah?”

Sarah checked William for any injuries, and her hands came away covered with a sticky substance. Her eyes watered when she recalled him shielding her body with his.

“Dad, you'll be fine! I'll call Tristan right away and get you to the hospital!”

It was of utmost importance for William to reach the hospital no matter what.

“Okay.”

“Old Mr. Lombard, Ms. Lombard, are both of you all right?” The driver had managed to climb out of the car and was thinking of a way to rescue them.

“Don't worry about me, Mr. Fraser. Please help my dad out.” Sarah only sustained several surface wounds.

“Sarah, you should get out first. The car is going to explode any moment now. You're still young, so go!”

“Somebody, help us!”

The driver was not capable of rescuing the two of them alone. As such, he had no choice but to shout for help to attract the attention of passersby willing to offer aid.

Nicholas's lips curled smugly as the calls for help reached his ears. This was the consequence one had to bear for crossing him.

Richard was at a loss at his boss' behavior.

“Boss, should I get rid of them?” He might as well dispatch them after the extent of damage they wrought.

Nicholas shook his head.

“That won't be necessary. Let's go! Tristan will be arriving soon.” Isn't he going to be engaged soon? Let this be his engagement gift, then!

An unconventionally unique one, at that!

Tristan's features turned thunderous once he received a call about the incident.

Sophie surmised that something must have happened based on the look on his face.

“My dad and Sarah met with an accident. I'm heading over to check on them,” Tristan uttered as he made to leave.

Ysabelle was stunned frozen.

How could such a thing happen out of nowhere?

Martin Fraser was a skilled driver who'd never once met with an accident in all the years he'd worked as a driver in their household.

Felix hurriedly helped Ysabelle into her coat as he took note of her dazed-like state.

“Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We won't know the true scope of the situation unless we see it with our own eyes. Come on.”

“Right.”

Ysabelle did as she was told blankly as she had yet to recover from her shock.

Sophie put on her coat and grabbed Tristan's before trailing behind them.

Tristan had already moved the car into position when she reached outside. They took off at lightning speed once she got on.

Sophie clenched her fists subconsciously during the journey as she prayed for the safety of Sarah and the others.

She dared not imagine what would become of Tristan if anything were to happen to Sarah and William.

They reached the location of the accident in less than ten minutes, where Martin was still attempting to save Sarah and William.

Tristan stopped by the curb, and he and Sophie dashed toward the overturned car to help.

Several others arrived in quick succession to lend a helping hand.

William and Sarah were rescued shortly after. Sarah only had several minor scrapes, while Williams's injuries were more severe.

Once the ambulance arrived, William was lifted onto it under the accompaniment of Sarah and Tristan.

Sophie would have followed them if not for the nurse who blocked her way.

“I'm sorry, but we can only bring on one relative. Otherwise, it would be too cramped inside the ambulance.”

The nurse shut the double doors of the ambulance as it promptly took off for the hospital. Sean approached Sophie at that.

“Get in the car! We're heading to the hospital. Since William is already elderly, it'd be best for him to have a thorough check-up in the hospital regardless of how serious his injuries are.”

“Okay!”

Sophie made up her mind quickly and got in the car.

Tristan was waiting outside the emergency ward alone when she arrived, unaware of what was happening on the other side of the doors.

Sophie closed the distance and held his hand as a form of non-verbal comfort.
