Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 941

Chapter 941 Lend Him A Hand

When Caleb saw his sister was leaving, he shouted, “Sophie! I know you’re disappointed in us, but we’re still your family no matter what. Visit us when you can As nice as the outside world is, it’s ultimately not her

home.

“All right, I won’t say anything about it anymore. I know you don’t like to hear these.” I know Mom and Dad and Willow did a lot of bad things to Sophie. I understand her refusal to return home.

“I hope you’ll be happy after marrying Mr. Tristan!” No matter what, she’s still my sister. Mom doesn’t like her because of her aloof personality.

“You take care of yourself. I’ll be returning home now. Sophie was unwilling to say much because she wasn’t a magnanimous person. Some damage can never be repaired once inflicted. It can’t be resolved with a single apology.

While watching her leave, Caleb still felt sad. Perhaps this wouldn’t have happened if I had cared a little more about her. I didn’t do a good job as a big brother.

Charmaine hadn’t slept when he returned home.

Upon seeing him, she rose from the couch and asked, “Why are you back so late? Have you eaten?” She noticed his injuries when she approached him and inhaled sharply. “What happened? Who did this to you?”

Caleb didn’t want his mother to spot his wounds because he had always appeared confident in front of his family.

However, it was difficult for him to accept his latest state.

“I’m fine, Mom. I’m tired. I’m gonna go and get some rest. Obviously, he didn’t want to speak too much on the matter. He felt too embarrassed to mention his issues as a man.

Grabbing his hand, Charmaine prevented him from ascending the stairs. “If you can’t work at the research institute, then go to Tanner Group! I’ll ask Sophie to hire you.” I doubt he can make much money working at the research institute anyway. He has a brighter future in a company like Tanner Group, which is improving by the day.

“I told you, Mom. I’m not interested in Tanner Group, so stop bringing it up.” Caleb promptly went upstairs.

Charmaine tried to chase after him, but Willow blocked her path. “Stop it, Mom. He’s not in a good mood. Let him be for a while.”

“What is up with you all? Do I owe you two something? Why do you all take your anger out at me when you’re in a bad mood?” Aren’t I doing this for their own good?

Seeing that her mother was upset, Willow apologized, “I’m sorry, Mom.” She had become a lot more cowardly compared to before.

That sight of Willow enraged Charmaine even further. “Why are you acting like this? This isn’t how you behave in the past!” She has changed. I don’t have any hope for her anymore.

“I’m sorry for disappointing you, Mom.” Willow lowered her head further. What can I do! Neither Sophie nor Tristan is someone I can afford to mess with! My current hope is that I can stay here without trouble. I really don’t want to think about anything else.

Charmaine waved her hand. “You should go and get some rest too.” If Caleb insists on joining the research institute, perhaps Sophie can help out. Our family’s social network is probably incomparable to hers by this point. For my son, I’m willing to beg her for help.

The next day, she visited the University of Medicine because she knew Sophie studied there. However, after waiting for the whole morning, she didn’t see her daughter at all.

When noon arrived and the students left their classes, Charmaine spoke to one of them. “Are you a first- year student? Do you know someone called Sophie? Did she attend classes today?”

“Sophie? Sophie Tanner? Everyone in the school knows who she is! She’s currently a fourth-year student because she skipped grades. She’s a genius, so she doesn’t attend her classes every day. Who are you by the way? Why are you looking for her?”

“What? Fourth year?” Charmaine was astonished. I know Sophie’s good, but I didn’t think she was this good. It’s unbelievable she managed to skip grade all the way to the fourth year!

It was then Simon and Sandra approached them. The student who Charmaine questioned turned to the duo and asked, “Aren’t you close with Sophie, Simon? This lady is looking for her.”

Simon and Sandra walked up to Charmaine.

They had no idea who the middle-aged woman was because they had never met her.

“Who are you? Why are you looking for Sophie?” asked Sandra. I’ve never seen her around Sophie before.

“I’m her mother,” answered Charmaine. “Do you know where she is?”

“Mother? I’ve never heard Sophie mentioning her mother.” Simon narrowed his eyes. This woman doesn’t look nice.

“I really am her mother, and I need to speak with her. Can you take me to her?”

“Simon!” exclaimed Sandra. We do need to head to the medical association later, but we don’t know who this lady is, so there’s no way we can bring her there. “I’m sorry, but we don’t know where Sophie is, Ma’am. If you really do need to speak to her, I suggest you call her directly! Since you’re her mother, you should have her phone number, right?”

Charmaine grimaced. I’d call her if I could, but she blocked me!

“I’m sorry, Ma’am. We have matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now.” Sandra dragged Simon away.

Charmaine felt embarrassed and remorseful. She had never thought that Sophie would lead such a good life.

She returned home dispiritedly, as she didn’t know where to locate Sophie.

When Simon arrived at the medical association and met Sophie, he informed her, “Your mom went to the University of Medicine to look for you. We met her after class.”

“My mom?” It had been so long since Sophie had met her mother that she almost forgot who Charmaine was. “Ah, I see.”

Seeing that Sophie didn’t seem to be interested in speaking further about the matter, Simon didn’t say much.

After all, everyone has their secrets, and he was just her friend. He wouldn’t ask her about it if she didn’t want to say.

Upon returning to the laboratory, Sophie called the Institute of Physics. When the person in charge of the institute learned who the caller was, he immediately stood up.

“I would like to introduce someone to the Institute of Physics. I can visit there occasionally.” Since Caleb loves research, I should lend him a hand.

“All right, Ms. Tanner. You’re free to bring that person here whenever you’re available.” While the Institute of Physics is never lacking in members, it still needs talented figures like Sophie.
