Sophie only eased up after she accompanied William to his checkup and read the result report. I
would've felt guilty if Old Mr. Lombard was gravely hurt. After all, it was because of me that Nicholas
set up the accident.
Upon detecting her sigh of relief, William grinned. “There's no need for you to feel guilty, my dear. After
all, death comes for us all. If I had passed on due to the accident instead, you still shouldn't blame
yourself.” In the past, I didn't like her and refused to accept her. But now, I do. In the future, she'll be
part of the Lombard family, so I have to protect her, too.
She lowered her head. “I'm sorry, Old Mr. Lombard. It's my fault for not—”
“What did I just say? This has nothing to do with you. You shouldn't let it dominate your attention.
Besides, Sarah and I are fine, are we not?”
“Yeah.”
Patting her shoulder, he advised, “Since you and Tristan have decided to stay together, the two of you
need to discuss everything you encounter in the future with each other and live a good life.”
“Thanks, Old Mr. Lombard!”
“Tristan loves you. My only request is that you don't hurt him.” He merely hoped his children would be
happy.
After leaving the ward with Sarah, Sophie let slip a sigh of relief.
“All right, you should go and do what you need to with Tristan. I'll take care of Dad here,” encouraged
Sarah. I know both of them are busy. Since everything's fine now, they should attend to their matters.
After all, Christmas is right around the corner, so I've no doubt there'll be plenty of matters in Tanner
Group and Lombard Group that require their attention.
“Thanks for the help, Sarah.” Sophie smiled.
“He's my father, so it's only natural for me to take care of him. You know, my dad used his body to
protect me at a critical moment during the accident! I was very touched by the lengths he would go to
save me.”
I'm honestly surprised by what Old Mr. Lombard was willing to do to save her. It's only logical that she
felt moved by his act. “Old Mr. Lombard is such a good father!” remarked Sophie. Even though he used
to oppose my relationship with Tristan, I believe it's only because he thinks I can't help Tristan.
“Yeah. That's why I'll take good care of him.” Sarah smiled. My dad really is a fantastic father. After
Mom left, he never searched for another partner. So, it was always just us siblings and him. With his
status, he could've had any woman he wanted. Even though he had three children, there were still
plenty of people who wanted to stay by his side because he was just that excellent. However, no matter
how distinguished the person who wanted to court him was, he never glanced at them, not even once.
Dad really is a loyal man. If not, he wouldn't have done that.
After chatting with Sarah for a while, Sophie went to Tristan, who was waiting at the entrance.
Upon noticing her much more relaxed expression, he knew his father's words had taken effect. Then he
stretched his hand out toward her.
When she saw that, she promptly held his hand. “Being able to meet you is the greatest blessing of my
life, Tristan.”
“Am I really that good? If I am, you better hold on to me tight and don't let go. Otherwise, I may be
snatched away by another woman,” Tristan joked.
“If someone tries to do that, I'll consider them enemies and never forgive them!”
“Sounds good!”
Recently, she had been acting much more affectionately with him, which delighted him.
After Tristan arrived at the medical association with Sophie, he put a scarf around her neck.
“I know you all have been busy lately, but please don't forget to take care of yourself, okay? Remember
to eat lunch during noon.” There were many matters in Lombard Group he needed to handle. Hence,
he couldn't share a meal with her later.
“I know. You should remember to do the same later, regardless of how busy you get.”
“I will. All right, you should leave now,” he said before he opened the door for her.
Then, she stepped out of the vehicle and hugged him lovingly.
“What should I do? I don't feel like going to Lombard Group anymore. How about I stay here to keep
you company?”
Shaking her head, she let him go. “I just wanted to hug you for a while. Anyway, you should go now. Be
careful on the road.”
It wasn't until Sophie ambled into the building that Tristan returned to his car and drove to Lombard
Group, where Felix, Sean, and Charles had been waiting.
“How did Old Mr. Lombard's checkup go?” Sean asked.
“It went well. He only suffered minor injuries. Even still, Nicholas is unforgivable,” spat Tristan.
Without delay, Sean nodded. “If we don't eliminate him, he won't stop. He went too far this time.”
At the side, Felix said, “Tell us what to do. We'll obey your orders.”
“I already know his location, so how about we just go straight to where he is and kill him? It'll save us a
lot of trouble,” proposed Charles. This is our territory, so we have the advantage.
“I also think we should skip the planning and just murder him. He's not a good person anyway, so I
have no qualms about taking his life.” Felix didn't want the plan to be convoluted because it merely
involved killing a single individual, even if that person was Nicholas.
Sighing, Sean retorted, “Do you two think Nicholas is an idiot? If he had the gall to come, he definitely
has some tricks up his sleeve.” Sometimes, these two speak without thinking, and it makes me feel
quite speechless. Nicholas doesn't have anything precious to him. If we rattle him too much, he may
take everyone down with him, which will be terrible because our families are here.
“I suppose you're right. This is Jipsdale, our families' home. Even though I've hired plenty of
bodyguards to protect them, we still need to be careful. We must succeed in taking him down in one
go. Otherwise, if he survives, he'll seek revenge, and our families will be in peril,” Tristan reminded. All
four of us care deeply about our families, so we can't take the risk.
Charles and Sean nodded.
In response, Felix agreed, “Okay. In this case, I suppose we'll have to plan our moves carefully.” I'm not
afraid for myself, but I'm concerned about Ysabelle's safety. We still haven't gotten married yet!
Meanwhile, Nicholas stood outside the medical association in a black coat, looking like a twisted male
protagonist from a comic book.
Pulling out his phone, he called Sophie.
