Anything For Her

“No matter how busy she is, your problems cannot be taken lightly. Your situation there is really too dangerous, Caleb. I'm going to call Sophie right now,” Charmaine said anxiously.

She was like a cat on hot bricks.

No matter what, Caleb was her son, and she knew he was her only hope in the future. Hence, Charmaine couldn't let anything happen to him.

“Mom, you don't need to concern yourself with this. I'll think of a way,” Caleb stated plainly. Sophie doesn't owe me anything.

“Caleb, I can only depend on you now. Please come back! When Anglandur was safe, I didn't have any objections to you staying there for your research. However, it's far too dangerous to stay there right now. Everyone is trying to get out of there right now. You can't stay there anymore,” Charmaine reasoned.

“Okay. I understand.”

It was not that Caleb wanted to stay there. However, leaving there was not easy.

After hanging up the call, Charmaine immediately called Sophie. Even though the line went through, nobody picked up.

Charmaine's expression turned darker by the second.

It was the first time in a long time that she thought to ask Sophie for help. However, her daughter wouldn't even spare her the courtesy of picking up the call.

“Mom, is Sophie not picking up?” Willow seemed to have turned over a new leaf recently. She no longer stirred trouble and only stayed by Charmaine's side.

“Yes. She's avoiding my calls.”

A grim look spread across Charmaine's face. She knew that Sophie had never thought of her as her mother.

This is why I don't like her.

“How could Sophie do this to you? We're family, no matter what happens. It's so dangerous for Caleb to be alone at Anglandur right now. Mom, don't take this the wrong way, but I think Caleb should return right now,” Willow said.

Noticing Charmaine's darkened expression, Willow added, “I promise you that I'll behave and not get on Sophie's nerves.”

“I didn't mean to blame you. Sophie's not picking up my calls right now, and I don't know what else I can do,” Charmaine groaned.

She knew that Sophie was in Anglandur, and there was no way Charmaine could get her points across to Sophie right now.

“Why don't you try calling Mr. Tristan?” Willow suggested.

Charmaine reckoned she ought to try her luck and gave Tristan a call. However, nobody picked up either.

Charmaine finally realized how menial she was in the family. Nobody was taking her seriously. She dreaded the feeling of being sidelined.

“D*mn it!”

I should have choked Sophie when she was born. She wouldn't be so insolent right now.

“Mom, what should we do? We don't have any other choice right now,” Willow said anxiously.

“I don't know.”

Naturally, Charmaine was at a loss too.

Right then, Yale had just arrived home. Charmaine's face went dark at the sight of him.

He must have another woman out there. Otherwise, he wouldn't come home so late.

“Yale, do you still think this is your home?” Charmaine mocked.

“Charmaine, what are you saying? This is my home, and it's my house too! If you don't think this is your home, feel free to leave,” Yale retorted.

He would only restrain himself a little in front of Sophie.

Charmaine was so furious that she was shaking.

“What are you saying? Do you want me to give way to your mistress so she can move in? No freaking way! You're going to have to go over my dead body!” Charmaine exclaimed.

She wished that Caleb could come back and teach Yale a lesson.

“Oh, why don't you go ahead and do me the favor of dying right now, then?” Yale couldn't care less about Charmaine. He didn't think she was that great, to begin with. Now that he had another woman, it had made him think even less of Charmaine. At least the woman out there knows how to please me.

“Dad, you—” Even Willow couldn't stand her father anymore.

“Willow, don't follow your mother and become a bad example. Now, we all have to rely on Sophie. So, you know what not to do!” Yale warned.

“Yale, Anglandur is really dangerous right now, and yet Caleb is stuck there right now. Can't you think of a way to save him? Need I remind you that he's your son, your only son?” Charmaine cried.

Yale was beyond frustrated that she brought this topic up again.

Of course, he loved Caleb too. However, there was nothing he could do right then.

“What do you think I can do here? I asked him to come back, but he refused to do so. Now, it seems even more impossible for him to come back,” Yale said exasperatedly.

He wouldn't have stood by and done nothing if he had any other choice.

I don't know what else I can right now.

“Yale, he is your only son. What will you do if anything happens to him? Nobody will carry on the Tanner family!” Charmaine wailed.

Yale was enraged and raised his hand to slap her across the face.

“If you don't have anything good to say, just keep your d*mned mouth shut! You're so aggravating!” Yale roared.

Charmaine held her face.

“Did you just hit me?”

“So what if I did? Blame yourself for not watching that vile mouth of yours,” Yale berated. He was sick of her crying and whining.

Then, Yale left without looking back.

Willow hugged Charmaine.

“Mom, are you all right? That must have hurt.” Willow didn't know what else to do either.

Charmaine sobbed uncontrollably.

What has my life come to?

Meanwhile, Sophie arrived at International Medical Association and immediately got started with her research.

When it was her rest time, she finally thought of Caleb and immediately called Tristan.

“Tristan, could you arrange for Caleb to go back home?” She reckoned that Caleb must have gone to the hotel today for this too.

“Sure,” Tristan replied.

She sounds exhausted.

“I'll take care of this. Take a good rest. You sound really tired,” Tristan said.

His heart ached for her.

However, there was nothing else he could do. It was her job, something that she was pursuing. Tristan knew he didn't have the right to interfere.

“I'm all right.”

After hanging up the call, Sophie went into the laboratory. In fact, everyone was busy in the laboratory.

The situation was not looking good. The whole Anglandur would be afflicted if the situation continued to worsen. By then, the situation would truly go out of hand.

Right then, Sophie overheard some people discussing the matter.

“I find the virus outbreak this time really bizarre. I feel like someone is orchestrating this behind the scene. Their ultimate aim is to topple our country over!”

“I think so too. Otherwise, why would things suddenly take a take for the worse now?”

“Do you guys think Chanaea is behind this?”

“I think they're the culprit, and yet the president has asked a Chanaean to come to help us. I'd be surprised if they would help us at all. I just hope they won't make the situation worse.”

“Chanaeans are the most despicable people!”

Sophie's expression darkened.

How can they say such irresponsible things?

“What did you guys mean?” She stopped the group of Anglandurans who was about to head for lunch. “What's the matter with you? How are you so rude?”
