Chapter 178: Chapter 178: You Will Drive Her Crazy

Seeing that she agreed, Hugo Sterling said gratefully, "Thank you."

’Noelle Sutton knew she wasn’t his sister and could easily be found out by Hugo Sterling’s mother, but it didn’t matter. Since Hugo had come to her, he would surely have everything arranged.’

Noelle typed another line: "It’s no problem. You’ve helped me a lot, too. When you need me, just coordinate with me in advance so we don’t blow our cover."

"Okay. It’s still early, so there’s no rush. This is a last resort, so don’t be too nervous about it."

Noelle immediately reassured Hugo Sterling, "You’re right, it’s a last resort. I hope you can find your real sister during this time, have a family reunion, and fulfill your mother’s wish." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Since it wasn’t an emergency yet, Hugo Sterling didn’t go into detail about his sister with Noelle. There wasn’t much to tell anyway, and it would be normal for her to not remember things from early childhood.

’He’d look for his sister first. If he really couldn’t find her, then he would discuss the specifics with Noelle.’

’Even Adrian Grant had said she resembled his little sister, so they should be able to pass muster when the time came.’

After discussing all that, Hugo Sterling brought up Tristan Lawson.

"Noelle, it seems Tristan doesn’t want to divorce. Even though you’ve left the country, you might not be safe. I think he might still come looking for you. What are you planning to do?"

"Isn’t he injured? He probably can’t come anytime soon. By the time he’s discharged from the hospital, I think our divorce case can go to court."

As Noelle typed, she thought, ’Setting everything else aside, what Tristan Lawson did to her that night should be enough to secure a divorce judgment.’

She had checked her phone today. Both Old Master Lawson and Tessa Lawson had called her.

She didn’t plan on calling them back.

In any case, she had given a copy of the materials to Old Master Lawson. The Lawson family would naturally handle the ensuing headache.

「Early morning.」

Tessa Lawson went to the hospital with breakfast to visit Tristan Lawson, but surprisingly, he was nowhere to be found.

She ran to ask Tristan’s attending physician, only to find out he had been discharged!

’He’s crazy. He must be crazy.’

’With such severe injuries, to not recover properly in the hospital... He was being so reckless.’

Tessa Lawson dialed Tristan’s number, but his phone was off.

So, she called Secretary Shaw.

"Where’s CEO Lawson?"

"CEO Lawson has gone abroad."

"Abroad?"

The color drained from Tessa Lawson’s face. ’Could he have gone to find Sophie Hughes?’

"When did he leave?"

"He took off at eleven last night on a chartered flight. Don’t worry, Miss Lawson, there were medical staff on board with him."

’Don’t worry?’

’How could she not worry?’

’This was the first time she had ever seen someone so heavily injured just get on a plane and fly off.’

"Did he say what he was going to do?"

"He said it was for something important. He just had me arrange the charter flight and the accompanying medical staff, and he left as soon as it was settled."

Tessa Lawson’s brow furrowed tightly. "Aridia?"

"Yes."

After hanging up, Tessa Lawson called Old Master Lawson.

"Grandpa, can you arrange for someone to pick up Joshua from school this evening? I have to go abroad and won’t have time to look after him. Let him stay at the old residence for a while."

Tessa Lawson’s head was starting to ache. ’Tristan Lawson and Noelle Sutton were both ignoring their son. She really couldn’t believe them.’

"Why are you going abroad?"

"Tristan went abroad. I can’t rest easy with him in that condition, so I’m going to find him."

Old Master Lawson’s expression changed drastically. "He’s that injured, and after only two days in the hospital, he’s running off to another country? He’s completely lost his mind! What is he going abroad for?"

"That’s what I don’t know, which is why I have to go. I’m worried he’s gone to find Sophie Hughes."

This made Old Master Lawson even more worried.

’Noelle wants a divorce, and now Tristan has gone looking for Sophie Hughes. Could that be the reason?’

’If that was the case, he couldn’t agree to Tristan divorcing Noelle.’

’As for the things Tristan did to Noelle, he would have to think of another solution.’

"Then you should go quickly. I’ll have your father look after Joshua. Also, do you know where Noelle went?"

"I don’t know."

"Alright, that’s all for now."

After hanging up, Old Master Lawson called Tristan, but his phone was still off.

’It seemed he hadn’t landed yet.’

’This was utter nonsense.’

Old Master Lawson decided to call Old Mr. Hughes directly.

’He would never approve of anything between Tristan Lawson and Sophie Hughes.’

"Mr. Hughes, is your Sophie at home?"

"She is. Why are you suddenly asking about her?"

Tristan’s mother, Hannah Hughes, had passed away young, and her husband had since remarried. Without her to connect the two families, and with the Hughes family having later emigrated, their relationship had grown much more distant than when Hannah was alive.

They only contacted each other occasionally.

Old Master Lawson explained, "Here’s the situation. Tristan was in a pretty serious car accident a couple of days ago. He had a steel plate put in his leg and was bedridden. But after only two days in the hospital, he chartered a flight to Aridia. I can’t imagine he’d go for any reason other than to see Sophie. This whole thing..."

Old Master Lawson feigned helplessness. "I don’t know what to do. I’ll leave it in your hands."

Of course, Old Mr. Hughes understood what Old Master Lawson was implying. As Tristan’s maternal grandfather, he also disapproved of any romantic involvement between Sophie and Tristan.

He had raised Sophie as if she were his own daughter. Everyone in their social circle knew Sophie was his daughter, and Tristan was his eldest daughter’s son. If anything were to happen between them, it would bring shame to both the Lawson and Hughes families.

"Don’t worry, I know what to do. The moment Tristan arrives, I’ll have him admitted to a hospital."

"Thank you for the trouble. Have you been well recently?"

Old Master Lawson exchanged a few more pleasantries with Old Mr. Hughes before hanging up.

Afterward, he arranged for people to search for Noelle everywhere. He had to see her and have a proper talk about her marriage to Tristan.

Noelle couldn’t speak. Even if she answered the phone, it would be difficult for him to communicate with her.

Tristan had taken off at 11 p.m. According to Glenwater time, he should have arrived at 11 a.m. the next day.

However, due to the time difference, it was already 11 p.m. in Aridia when he arrived.

As soon as he got off the plane, he called Hugo Sterling.

"Where is Noelle Sutton staying?"

Hugo Sterling replied casually, "In the hospital."

"The hospital? What’s wrong with her?"

"What do you think?"

Tristan Lawson thought back to that morning when Noelle had coughed up blood. He had arranged for a doctor, but she had run off.

’Her throat was injured, and she never got it treated. She let it drag on all the way until she went abroad. It must have gotten worse.’

Tristan’s handsome features contorted. "Which hospital?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? You’re halfway across the world."

"I just got off the plane."

Hugo Sterling’s eyes widened. "Are you out of your mind?"

"I am out of my mind, and you know it. Stop wasting time and give me the address."

Tristan Lawson was frantic.

He desperately needed to see Noelle and explain things clearly.

The problems between them could not be dragged out any longer.

"I don’t dare tell you. I’m afraid it will upset her. Tristan, just let it go. Don’t push her so hard. You’re going to drive her crazy."
