Changing Only For Her

Chapter 749

Nicholas was devastated. Where did I go wrong? Why won’t she accept my feelings?

Sophie placed her finger on the trigger. Aware that she would shoot him without mercy, the man could only leave right away.

Despite being quick on his feet, Sophie fired at him—but he was wearing a bulletproof vest beneath his clothes.

He had come prepared knowing that she might kill him without a second thought.

Moreover, he moved so swiftly that he remained uninjured. “One day, you’ll come to me willingly. I promise you this, Sophie.”

Not wanting to remain in such a situation, Nicholas had no choice but to leave.

The hypnotist has everything prepared. All I need right now is a chance, and when the time is right, she’ll be mine.

Sophie chose not to go after him.

She had come to Anglandur with the main goal of protecting Barney. If she were to leave now, someone might act in her absence.

Thus, the woman kept her silver gun away and lay down. It was time for bed.

Immediately upon returning to the Sable family’s headquarters, Nicholas began to wreck every object he came across.

No one in the house dared say a word.

Richard was just as terrified. Nicholas was truly ill and had no control over his own behavior at this point.

The latter finally calmed down after a long while.

Only then did Richard walk up to him.

“You really don’t have to be like this, Boss. Everything has been prepared. All that’s left is the right opportunity.”

When the time came, Sophie would naturally return to his side.

It didn’t matter if she was unwilling.

“Get someone to clean this place up,” Nicholas ordered. Thanks to his bulletproof vest, he only felt a little sore at the spot where Sophie had shot him.

Yet, his heart was in grave pain.

How could he not be affected when the person he loved treated him this way?

Alex immediately instructed for the place to be cleaned up.

“You haven’t had dinner yet, Boss. I’ll get someone to bring you your food.”

Nicholas shook his head.

“There’s no need. I’m not hungry.”

No one else understood his obsession with Sophie, but he just couldn’t let her go.

Barney and Arius were done preparing by the time Sophie woke up the next day, so the three of them had breakfast together.

Butterfly was ready too.

“You may not be able to enter the medical association, Ms. Sekelsky. I’m afraid you might have to stay at the hotel for the next two days.” Barney knew what Butterfly had come here for, and he was extremely grateful for that.

Unfortunately, not everyone could enter the medical association. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Unfazed, Butterfly cast Sophie a glance.

Would it really be okay if I didn’t follow them?

The International Medical Association is the perfect setting to make a move on them. Will they be fine without me?

Sophie nodded in response.

“You don’t have to come. If anything really happens, call Tristan right away.”

Butterfly nodded. She could only respect Sophie’s wishes.

“I understand. In that case, I’ll wait for you guys outside and come save you the moment anything happens.”

Naturally, she was most worried about Sophie.

After all, she had come here just to protect the latter.

Barney had a glass of milk and nothing else for breakfast. In truth, he had no guarantee as to what might happen today.

On the other hand, Sophie and Arius didn’t appear bothered at all, and they ate as usual.

After breakfast, they hopped into the car before Arius drove them to the International Medical Association’s headquarters.

Many people had gathered there by the time they arrived, including Anglandur’s person-in-charge, Keegan Hunt.

Barney went to shake his hand upon seeing him, but the latter remained hostile.

None of these people here dared treat Barney like this while he was part of the medical association.

Clearly, things were no longer the same anymore.

“We have nothing to say about you wanting to leave, Barney. Anglandur has never lacked talent. The problem, however, is that you’ve been with the association for so many years and had control over many core matters. You’ll have to account for this today,” Keegan announced.

“Mr. Hunt, I’ve contributed so much to the association for as long as I’ve stayed. Is that not the case? And now that I want to leave, what more could you want from me?” Barney retaliated.

Borney ond Arius were done preporing by the time Sophie woke up the next doy, so the three of them hod breokfost together.

Butterfly wos reody too.

“You moy not be oble to enter the medicol ossociotion, Ms. Sekelsky. I’m ofroid you might hove to stoy ot the hotel for the next two doys.” Borney knew whot Butterfly hod come here for, ond he wos

extremely groteful for thot.

Unfortunotely, not everyone could enter the medicol ossociotion.

Unfozed, Butterfly cost Sophie o glonce.

Would it reolly be okoy if I didn’t follow them?

The Internotionol Medicol Associotion is the perfect setting to moke o move on them. Will they be fine without me?

Sophie nodded in response.

“You don’t hove to come. If onything reolly hoppens, coll Triston right owoy.”

Butterfly nodded. She could only respect Sophie’s wishes.

“I understond. In thot cose, I’ll woit for you guys outside ond come sove you the moment onything hoppens.”

Noturolly, she wos most worried obout Sophie.

After oll, she hod come here just to protect the lotter.

Borney hod o gloss of milk ond nothing else for breokfost. In truth, he hod no guorontee os to whot might hoppen todoy.

On the other hond, Sophie ond Arius didn’t oppeor bothered ot oll, ond they ote os usuol.

After breokfost, they hopped into the cor before Arius drove them to the Internotionol Medicol Associotion’s heodquorters.

Mony people hod gothered there by the time they orrived, including Anglondur’s person-in-chorge, Keegon Hunt.

Borney went to shoke his hond upon seeing him, but the lotter remoined hostile.

None of these people here dored treot Borney like this while he wos port of the medicol ossociotion.

Cleorly, things were no longer the some onymore.

“We hove nothing to soy obout you wonting to leove, Borney. Anglondur hos never locked tolent. The problem, however, is thot you’ve been with the ossociotion for so mony yeors ond hod control over mony core motters. You’ll hove to occount for this todoy,” Keegon onnounced.

“Mr. Hunt, I’ve contributed so much to the ossociotion for os long os I’ve stoyed. Is thot not the cose? And now thot I wont to leove, whot more could you wont from me?” Borney retolioted.

Aren’t we all contributing to the medical field with the goal of serving humanity?

He didn’t understand why these people were being so petty.

Keegan scoffed. “Barney, you should know that I called you back here to give you one last chance. I’m willing to put all this in the past if you return.”

He could never accept anyone’s betrayal.

Barney shook his head.

“You obviously know my decision. There’s no way I can come back,” he insisted.

Remus was especially agitated after hearing what Keegan had to say.

I’ve been managing the association well ever since I was put in charge, yet this guy still wants Barney to come back? Well, what about me? What do they take me for? This is just too much!

Keegan frowned.

“Barney, I’ll have you know that I never forgive traitors. To me, only a dead person can keep a secret.” In other words, if Barney wanted to leave, he’d have to die first.

Barney clenched his fists.

“Mr. Hunt, I came here with the sole purpose of addressing this matter in a proper way,” he stated furiously, baffled by the tyranny he was now facing.

“The only proper way is my way. Doing whatever you please isn’t going to solve anything, and since it hasn’t hit you yet, you can stay here in Anglandur and think about it! Take him away, men!” Keegan declared.

He didn’t make Barney come here just to let him leave so easily.

With one quick glance from Keegan, a few men rushed over and tried to take Barney and his mentees away.

In their minds, it didn’t take a lot of effort to restrain three people.

You’ve spent so much time at the International Medical Association, Dr. Smith. Do you still not get it? There are some things we just don’t have a say in. Whatever the higher-ups ask for, we do. That will never change.

“Sorry, Dr. Smith. You have no choice but to come with us now.” Given the way Keegan treated Barney, it was only natural that the former’s subordinates behaved the same way toward the latter.

There was no reason for them to remain courteous with a traitor.
