Changing Only For Her

Chapter 752

“Regardless of what happened, have I not treated you well, Barney? When you were preparing for the International Medical Association, I always gave you what you asked for. Please just let me off this time.”

All Keegan could do now was plead.

When he noticed the sort of people Sophie brought with her, Keegan then realized exactly how much he had underestimated her.

That was why he could not be stubborn this time around.

After all, a real man could either submit or stand proud when the situation called for it.

Arius scoffed. “Were you kind to Dr. Smith? You were basically using him as a ladder to climb to greater heights!”

If Keegan had not held Dr. Smith’s parents captive, then why on earth did we have to come all the way here? I guess it’s also for the best. If Dr. Smith had shown up alone, I wonder what horrible things they would’ve done to him!

Keegan’s expression changed.

“Barney, I think you’re well aware that there are things I’ve had to do outside of my own volition. Think of the position I’m in!”

Barney shook his head.

“Forget it. When we leave, you can come back. Mr. Hunt, I hope that we never meet again in this life. If something like this ever happens again, I won’t be so cordial.”

Regardless, Barney was someone who studied medicine.

He was not someone who enjoyed killing.

He liked saving people and not committing murder.

Arius was worried because Sophie had hurled Keegan at Butterfly.

He absentmindedly felt about his pockets for a syringe and injected Keegan with an unknown drug.

“Arius, what the hell are you doing? What did you inject me with?” yelled Keegan. Arius was a former member of the International Medical Association. As such, Keegan was concerned that the substance used on him could have completely ruined him.

“Relax! Since Dr. Smith has already spoken, we won’t make things hard for you. We just want you to be still, that’s all,” replied Arius smoothly.

All they wanted was to leave the area safely without lingering for much longer.

As soon as the drug was injected into him, Keegan felt like his body was made of jelly. Even a regular person could kill him in this state, let alone a mercenary.

“Arius, do you know what you’re doing?” Given Keegan’s current position, he naturally had many enemies.

If any of his enemies chose to show up now and exact vengeance, Keegan would have been powerless to stop them.

“You’ve done so many rotten things. Have you only just learned what fear is? However, this is the only chance I’ll give you. Whether you live or die depends on what you do later on. Nobody else can be blamed for this,” replied Arius coldly.

“Get in the car! Why are you still wasting your breath on him?” asked Sophie tersely. Despite having been away for only two days, Sophie was already anxious to return.

The person that she adored the most was back there. Apart from Tristan, Sophie reckoned that there was no other person she liked better.

“Okay, I understand that you’re anxious to return. We can go now!” replied Arius. There was some truth to the old saying, after all. A grown woman could not be kept away from the man she loved.

I bet she’s been thinking about Tristan all day!

Sophie paid Arius no mind and went into the car.

Barney got into the car as well. Soon after, he sighed in relief.

“Thank goodness you’re all okay,” murmured Barney. The group had chosen to follow him here. If anything had happened to them, Barney was not going to be able to live out the rest of his days in peace.

“Didn’t we tell you, Dr. Smith? Nothing’s going to happen.” Sophie had never bitten off more than she could chew.

If Sophie said that they were going to leave the area with no problems, this was a surefire guarantee on her part.

“Of course. Let’s go! I doubt I’ll ever come back here for the rest of my life,” said Barney frostily.

Does my departure affect this organization poorly? Absolutely not!

Regardless of where he was, Barney was determined to do only good for mankind.

He was not going to make enemies out of other people.

In spite of this, they were still not going to let him go.

Such was human nature.

The entire group left in a rather grandiose manner. When they arrived at the airport, they unceremoniously hurled Keegan out of the car.

“I wish you good luck!” said Arius with a smile.

Given that Keegan had many enemies, there was no need for the group to act. In fact, one could not even tell if Keegan was going to make it home safely.

Dr. Smith said to let him go, but he didn’t say that I couldn’t inject him with strange drugs, right? mused Arius.

They went directly to the tarmac, where a private jet was already waiting for them. Barney could not shake off how surreal the whole thing felt, even until he had boarded the plane.

Butterfly and Sophie, on the other hand, were chatting.

“This time around, I’m going on a vacation,” said Butterfly as she looked at Sophie. Butterfly had been so busy managing Wings of Light that she did not have much time for herself.

She was also thinking of taking a good, long, break.

“Yeah, you should definitely get some rest when you get back. Mournful Spirit can manage Wings of Light while you’re away!” Sophie reckoned that Mournful Spirit was already strong enough for the task.

“Okay.”

Butterfly thought that it was high time that she took a long break.

Ever since Sophie had entrusted Wings of Light to her care, Butterfly had not been in a relationship for a while now.

She was very interested in a relationship after seeing how romantic Sophie’s own relationship was.

After all, Butterfly was also quite beautiful herself. If she wanted to, she could definitely find someone she truly liked.

Thus, Butterfly was going to give herself a three-month vacation.

In the next three months, she was going to focus solely on dating.

“Yes, do it!”

Butterfly had been really busy all this while. Managing Wings of Light was no easy task.

They were a drop in the ocean where these societies were concerned. If Wings of Light wanted to stand firm among the rest, they had to prove their worth.

Arius then went over to Barney and poured the latter a glass of wine.

“Dr. Smith, I know that you did not sleep well last night. Why don’t you have some wine? You’d be able to sleep better. When you awake, we’ll be back in Chanaea,” said Arius.

“Okay.”

Barney accepted the red wine.

He assumed that he was there to protect them all. In the end, it was up to the youngsters to take care of him, the older man.

However, Barney did feel lucky that he had trained two very gifted mentees.

Meanwhile, Nicholas stared as the plane took off. His eyes were reddened with emotion.

Was I too late? I never got to see Sophie one last time. She’s already gone.

If not for the accident involving Josiah, Nicholas would not have just let Sophie leave like this. Once she had left, there was no telling when he was going to see her again.

When Richard saw Nicholas in this state, the former did not dare speak.

Sophie was the one person Nicholas could never let go of. As long as the matter concerned Sophie, Nicholas was going to be persistent.

If they can perish together, I daresay that Boss will choose destruction. He will always choose her.

“Tell me, Richard. Are we not fated to be together? Is that why I keep missing Sophie?” asked Nicholas. After this had happened so many times, Nicholas could not help but have such doubts.

“Boss?”

Richard was a man who had never been in love. As such, he did not have the slightest clue of how to comfort Nicholas.

“Boss, fate is utter bullsh*t, if you ask me. None of that is real! If you like her, you have to take her away!” Why was there the need to mope and mull over this? If Nicholas liked her that much, he just needed to fight for Sophie. It was not a big deal.

“Do you really think so?” Nicholas had assumed that he was the only one who thought that way. He also thought that he was the odd one out.

Richard nodded sagely.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Alex and he were not the same.

This was how he operated. As long as he liked something, he had to make it his, regardless of what it was that he liked. There was no need to consider anyone else’s feelings.
