Anything For Her

Chapter 889 In A Daze

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.”

“That’s about it for now. I need to understand more about hypnosis before I proceed further,” Sophie said Since

Nicholas wanted her to examine him, she reckoned this might be an excellent opportunity.

She didn’t know what Nicholas might do if he found out about her intention, so she had to understand more about

the situation before she made any move.

Meanwhile, Nicholas complied with the series of preliminary tests conducted by the medical association’s personnel

before he was led to Sophie’s laboratory.

“Sophie, are you really willing to examine me?” Nicholas asked in pleasant surprise.

“Yes. Head back home first before I decide on any treatment.”

“I don’t want to go back. I want to stay here and accompany you.” Nicholas insisted. He had already found the

hypnotist.

All he lacked was an opportunity.

He intended to take Sophie to Anglandur. That way, he could make his move. As long as he could make Sophie

forget about Tristan, he would finally have his chance.

“Nicholas, I do not appreciate being disturbed in my work. I hope you don’t plan on becoming that sort of nuisance I

detest.”

Sophie was well aware that Nicholas had never truly given up.

His persistence and patience were nothing more than a strategic delay.

“Very well. I’ll await your call, then Nicholas genuinely didn’t want to become a bother. He knew Sophie’s

temperament well. If he continued to pester her, it would inevitably result in a physical confrontation. which he

wanted to avoid at all costs.

After he left, Sophie began to study the relevant books, Nicholas would not trust anyone else with this, so she had to

undertake the task herself.,

Sophie was a smart woman. There was no problem that she had failed to solve, and she was determined not to

make this case an exception. She stayed back at the library to study for over two hours.

Only when her phone rang did she realize how much time had passed.

“Ms. Sophie, it’s me. I didn’t want to disturb you, but I truly have no other option.”

Wendy’s voice came through the phone.

“What’s the matter?”

“Ms. Sophie, Ms. Lineker has always listened to you. Could you come and see her? She’s not doing so well,” Wendy

said in a choked voice.

“All right. Where are you? I’ll get there right away.” Sophie put away the books in her hand and immediately headed

outside.

“I’m at Ms. Lineker’s place. She’s really…” Wendy trailed off. She was at a loss for words.

“Okay. Just wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”

Sophie had been extremely busy lately, and Wilma had been adept at concealing her state, which was why she

never realized that Wilma was facing some major issues.

As Sophie was about to leave, Simon and Sandra were preparing to leave as well. Simon called out. “Sophie, where

are you off to? We’re going out to eat. Would you like to join us?”

“I’m afraid I can’t. I have something on today.”

“Where are you going? We can give you a lift.”

“Sure.”

As Simon had driven there and it was difficult to hail a cab at this hour, Sophie accepted the offer. She shared the

address with Simon and then retreated into silence for the duration of the drive.

Sandra asked, “Sophie, are you all right? Did something happen?”

“A friend of mine is in a bit of trouble. I’m going to check on her.”

“Do you need our help? We’re not particularly busy, and we can always eat later.”

“It’s all right. If I really need help, I won’t hesitate to ask you.”

They arrived at Wilma’s condominium in no time. Sophie got out of the car and headed straight for Wilma’s unit.

The moment she opened the door, the whole place reeked of alcohol, hinting at the amount of alcohol. that she

must have consumed.

Wendy immediately approached Sophie at the sight of her.

“Ms. Sophie, what do we do? We thought Ms. Lineker has recovered, but we never imagined she’s like this when

she’s alone at home. Even at work recently, she’s often found to be in a daze.”
