What If
“Did you move yourself to tears?” Sophie asked sarcastically. All this while, the only thing he did was stir his own
emotions, not mine.
Nicholas let out a wry smile. “Do I really repel you that much? Why don’t you like me?”
Sophie ignored him.
Taking in Tristan’s demeanor, Sean and the others also felt helpless. They knew that without Sophie by his side.
Tristan would definitely lose control of his emotions.
At that moment, Butterfly had also returned. Her heart also ached when she saw Tristan in that state.
“Mr. Tristan, I’m sorry for always causing trouble for you all.” I’m truly a burden.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. Go back and get some rest,” Tristan was well aware that was Sophie’s
decision.
Still, her decision was too dangerous, and that was why he was so anxious. What if Sophie really forgets me? What
should I do? What if she insists on leaving with Nicholas? What about me, then?
“Mr. Tristan, don’t worry. We’ve made the necessary preparations at all of the entry and exit points of the country.
There’s no way Nicholas can escape. Felix reassured Tristan.
Only then did Ysabelle find out what had happened. She immediately ran over. “Sophie-
She wanted to ask about the situation, but at the sight of Tristan’s mien, she caught herself. Ysabelle felt utterly
useless.
Many things had occurred recently, yet she was completely clueless and unable to assist. This feeling sucks.
Felix poured her a glass of water. “Don’t worry. Sophie will be fine. We’ll bring her back safely, so rest assured.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYsabelle didn’t respond. She merely held the glass with her hands and sat at one side.
At that moment, she didn’t want to cause any trouble for everyone, so she could only try her best to lower her
presence to avoid affecting others.
“Butterfly, will Sophie be all right? That Nicholas is really a psychopath!” Ysabelle only dared to confide in Butterfly.
Butterfly patted her shoulder. “She’ll be fine. Sophie is very capable. She knows how to handle things like these.”
Therefore, there won’t be any problems. We must have faith in Sophie.
Arius came over as well. Seeing him, Tristan felt slightly more at ease.
“Arius, if Sophie’s memories were really replaced, can you restore them?” Tristan asked.
Arius shook his head. “I’ve never studied this area of expertise. I came here just to see if I can help out with
anything.
Although he had a doctorate in medicine, he had never learned hypnosis. Even if he started pursuing knowledge in
that field now, it might be too late.
Tristan’s facial expression turned a few shades darker.
Seeing Tristan like that, Arius surprisingly didn’t diss him. “Don’t worry. Sophie will be fine. We must believe in her.
She’s a medical genius. There’s no way that Padma can hypnotize her. Besides,
Nicholas won’t harm her, so everything will be all right.
“I trust her, but I still regret letting her go alone.” He couldn’t bear to let her take any risk.
He simply couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Tristan had already planned their future, and he wouldn’t allow any accidents to happen.
Richard contacted Padma. Since Sophie had arrived, there was no time to lose. The food Sophie ate was
adulterated with sedatives.
At that moment, Nicholas had carried Sophie to the bed. He stood by the bedside and watched her sleep. She’s so
obedient when she’s asleep, not making a fuss or looking at me with an expression I despise. This feeling is truly
wonderful. How I hope this can last forever.
Richard knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
“Boss, Padma is here. She’s outside.”
“Okay.”
Nicholas riveted her eyes on Sophie, unable to look away.
“Boss, Ms. Tanner will belong only to you in the future. She will love you wholeheartedly.”
Only then did Nicholas leave the room.
Padma was sitting on the couch and drinking juice at that time. She liked freshly squeezed juice, so as soon as she
arrived, she asked Richard to prepare the beverage for her. “Where’s she?”
“Are you confident?” Nicholas wanted everything to go unerringly. Moreover, Sophie shouldn’t suffer any harm. He
couldn’t endure anyone hurting Sophie, including himself.
Padma furrowed her brows. “Are you doubting me? If you don’t trust me, I think we can call off this deal
now.”
Padma was prideful.
Many people doubted her abilities when they saw her young age, but she didn’t like others regarding her
with a look of mistrust.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was the best hypnotist in the world, capable of hypnotizing any person in her care.
“Padma, I want a foolproof plan.”
“The plan has been foolproof when you sought me out. Nothing will go wrong.” Padma got to her feet. “Let’s go.”
Nicholas led her inward. Padma smiled when she saw the girl lying on the bed.
“She’s indeed beautiful!” No wonder Nicholas is resorting to all means to have her.
“Padma!” Nicholas warned her. Even though Padma was a girl, he didn’t like the way she looked at Sophie.
“How petty! All I did was glance at her. Don’t you think you’re exaggerating?” He doesn’t have to react in this
manner. Besides, I’m also a girl. That’s enough. All of you should leave the room now. I don’t like people to linger
around me when I’m performing the hypnosis,” Padma uttered coldly.
She needed a quiet environment for the procedure.
“Padma, if anything happens to her, I’ll never let you off the hook,” Nicholas said threateningly before leading
Richard out of the room.
Outside, Nicholas stood before the floor-to-ceiling window the whole time, unable to calm down.
He didn’t know if he was doing the right thing. Still, as long as he could have her, he didn’t care if what he did was
wrong.
Richard made him a cup of coffee. “Boss, go and get some rest. The hypnosis will take some time, so take a break.
I’ll call you when it’s over.” Boss hasn’t had a good rest since Ms. Tanner came over.
“It’s fine. I’ll just wait here. Richard, do you think I’m a lunatic?” Is this why I’m determined to have her without
regard for her wish?
“Boss, you haven’t done anything wrong. You can have whatever you want.” What’s wrong with that?
Tristan also stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He had no idea what Sophie was doing or experiencing. The
feeling of not knowing was driving him crazy.
Sean walked up to him. “If she really forgets you, what will you do?” Unexpected things might happen in this world,
after all.
Sophie was undoubtedly competent, but what if a mishap truly befell her?
