Chapter 82 Embrace

"What did you say?” Sophie's voice sounded exceptionally deep.”l said you pissed off your grandpaso much that he almost died!” When Yale finished, he hung up the phone. I hope Dad finally realizeshow big of a mistake he had made!Sophie jumped down from the couch with her phone in handand headed outside.”"Where are you going, Soph?” Ysabelle asked while she was barely able to reactto Sophie's quick movements.She immediately tried to follow her friend.”Wait here, Ysabelle. Tellyour uncle I have a matter I need to attend to, and that I have to leave now,” Sophie replied.Ysabellegrabbed her friend's hand. I've never seen such an expression on her face before!lt scared her."What's going on, Sophie? Tell me about it or I'll follow you."It's nothing. My grandfather is sick, sonow I'm heading to the hospital to visit him. You don't need to follow me.” When Sophie finished,she swiftly left.Ysabelle stood dumbfounded, unsure of what to do. What do I do? Uncle Tristan isstill in the meeting, and I don’t know when it'll end!Sophie exited Lombard Group, hailed a taxi,entered the vehicle, and immediately called Butterfly. “Help me replace my grandfather'slocation.”When she finished, she sent Josiah’s ID card and phone number to Butterfly.Butterfly couldhear the panic in her voice, so she immediately turned around and typed on her keyboard.Uponreplaceing out the information Sophie wanted, she sent it to her via a text message: Jipsdale Hospital,VIP Room No. 9. “Are you all right, Phantom?”“I'm fine. I'm hanging up the call now."When Sophiearrived at the hospital, she went straight to her grandfather's ward. Willow, Charmaine, and Yale werestanding outside of the ward.When Yale saw Sophie, he bolted toward her and attempted to slapher.She grabbed his hand and stared at him coldly.”Don“t mess with me.” Her voice sounded reallycold.”Look at what you've done, Sophie! You know what, I think you shouldn't have returned at all!You should've just died in Horington.” Yale was brutal with his words."It doesn't matter to you if I'mdead or not. I'm in a bad mood right now, so you'd better not open your mouth again!” Sophieflung his hand away."He's your father, Sophie! How can you speak to him like that?” Charmaineapproached her. “This whole thing is your fault in the first place. What right do you have forshouting here? Have you looked at what a mess you've caused Tanner Group to become?""TheTanner family really doesn't welcome you, Sophie,” Willow sneered. Sophie is a jinx. I want to seehow long she can continue to act tough.It was then the doctor walked out.Sophie ignored the threeof them and approached the doctor. “How's my grandpa, doctor?"The doctor answered, “There areno major issues with him. That's how people are when they are old. He's fine. In fact, he has alreadywoken up and calling for you to go in!"Sophie nodded and entered the ward.Yale followed behindtoo. If anything happens to Dad, I mustn't let Sophie have Tanner Group!When Josiah saw how paleSophie was, he smiled. “No need to appear so serious, Soph! I'm fine. It's just that my bloodpressure was slightly on the high side.”She approached him and grabbed his hand. “You're going tobe fine, Grandpa.”"Mhm, I'm fine.” Ever since Sophie was a child, Josiah had doted on her.He knewshe was a complicated person and that ordinary people wouldn't be able to worm their way into herheart. However, if someone did manage to secure a place in her heart, she would give her all tohim.”Do you see now, Dad? Sophie isn't at all suitable to enter Tanner Group! I hope you'll hand hershares to me,” Yale suggested."You can leave now, Yale.” Sophie frowned. Even at this moment, allhe sees is still power and money. A person like him doesn’t deserve to stand here.”No matter whathappens, I'm still your father, Sophie! How dare you speak to me like that!” Yale was so angry thathe wanted to choke her to death.”Get out of here, Yale! All of you should go home! I only needSoph to accompany me. This ward isn't that big either. It can't have too many people inside,” Josiahordered.“Are you still trying to defend her, Dad? When are you going to stop protecting her?” Yaleretorted.”Yeah! You're sick, Grandpa. How can we go back in peace? I want to accompany you, too,”Willow added.”Dad, Sophie is still young. She doesn’t know anything! How can she take care of you?I think it's better for me to stay and—""Are you all ignoring me right now? I've said so much, yetnone of you seem to listen at all!" Josiah angrily sat up on his bed with much difficulty.“Fine. Sinceyou don't want to see us here, we'll leave.” Yale was disappointed and angry at Josiah, too.Seeingthat Yale was about to leave, Charmaine didn’t have the nerve to stay any longer. Hence she pulledWillow away with her.It wasn't until the three of them were outside that Willow said, “What kind ofspell did Sophie put Grandpa under, Mom? Even after what she did to Tanner Group, Grandpa stilltrusts her! Why?"“All right, that's enough. Your dad's already not happy. It doesn't matter to youwhat will happen to the Tanner family. Once you get married to the Laird family, you'll have so muchmore than what you currently possess,” Charmaine dismissed.Willow's fist tightened. “You knowhow impressive the Laird family is, Mom. If I join their family with nothing, do you think they willtake me in with high regard? Don't you know how important dowry is nowadays?"“I know, and yourdowry won't be anything short of impressive.” Charmaine felt like she was getting a headache, butthere was nothing she could do.Only Josiah and Sophie were left in the room.”Come sit next to me,Soph,” Josiah requested.Sophie pulled a stool closer and sat on it next to the bed. “You should takecare of yourself, Grandpa! No need to think about anything else. There's still me!"He smiled. “Whenyou reach my age, you'll replace many things becoming unimportant. As you can see, I'm getting reallyold now. I can let go of anything but you. I just hope you'll replace happiness.”She was his favoritechild.Sophie wasn't exactly a talkative person, so all she did was nod.However, her heart was turningcold.She knew how well he had been treating her.Seeing how heavy her expression was, Josiahjoked, “Actually, I don’t want to die yet! Not until I see you getting married to a good man, atleast.”“You will, Grandpa. I want you to personally hand me over to the person I love."When hethought about that day, his eyes turned red. God, there's nothing else I want more than a little moretime for me to see her get married.“What do you want to eat, Grandpa? I'll buy it for you.” Sophiecouldn't bear seeing her grandfather like that, so she wanted to replace an excuse to leave."There’s noneed for that, Sophie. The butler got that covered. You just need to accompany me.”"Mhm. Youshould sleep for a while, Grandpa! I'll stay right here with you. I won't leave.” Sophie's voicesounded soft."Okay.” Josiah fell asleep shortly as he was tired.It wasn't until someone knocked onthe door that she turned to open the door.When she did, she saw an anguished Tristan.Heimmediately hugged her.
