Chapter 763
It’s just like what Lincoln had said. Ysabelle must be delighted right now to have finally achieved success.
All of a sudden, William felt a sense of discomfort. Wondering if it was due to sitting too long, he figured that he should get up to stretch.
However, the moment he did, he dropped to his knees abruptly.
Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Lincoln sprang to his feet to help William back up onto the couch.
“Dad, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” How did this suddenly happen?
William was unable to say a word as his heart palpitated furiously.
“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll send you to the hospital right away. Everything will be fine.” Lincoln’s heart sank.
Just as he was about to call for the ambulance, William stopped him.
“Don’t call for the ambulance. Ysabelle mustn’t know. I don’t want to spoil her big day.” As he was there to provide her with moral support, he didn’t want to ruin her concert.
“We can’t do that. Your condition is serious.”
“Sophie knows medicine. Just get her to come over.” He had heard a lot about Sophie’s capabilities from Ysabelle.
“But, Dad, Sophie is just a student. How can you—”
“Enough. Just do as I say. I don’t want to disrupt Ysabelle’s concert.” Everyone knew how important the event was to Ysabelle.
Given how much effort she had put into her preparation, there was no way they could bring themselves to spoil it.
“All right. I’ll send someone to get her.” Knowing how stubborn his father could be, Lincoln resignedly sent his driver to summon Sophie over.
The moment the driver found Sophie, Tristan, who was present, immediately knew what happened.
“Let’s go.” At William’s age, health issues were unavoidable.
Thus, they had no time to lose.
As for the others, they didn’t think much of Sophie and Tristan’s departure and continued enjoying the concert.
They figured that the couple would have informed them if it was something important.
Upon arriving at William’s private room, Sophie examined him and was relieved that it wasn’t anything serious.
“Don’t worry. It’s no big deal. It’s probably caused by the excitement.” That’s why it’s a bad idea for the elderly to attend concerts.
“Are you sure? Should we take him to the hospital?” Lincoln remained unconvinced.
“Relax, he’s fine.”
After Sophie gave William a quick massage, the color quickly returned to the old man’s face.
Lincoln was finally relieved after seeing that.
“Old Mr. Lombard, it’s getting late. I’ll get someone to send you home.” He should get some rest. At his age, he can no longer stay up late like us youngsters.
“Okay.” After the incident, William didn’t dare refuse, as Ysabelle would be devastated if anything happened to him that night.
The last thing he wanted was for her to be sad.
“Now that I’m fine, both of you should head back. Ysabelle would be worried if all of us left together.” William didn’t want the two to follow him home.
“Dad, why are you still worried about the concert in your condition?” Tristan was annoyed.
Can’t he just rest at home? Why must he insist on attending the concert at his age?
“Of course I’m worried about Ysabelle. She’s my favorite after all. That’s why I don’t want to see her sad.” All grandparents will dote on their grandchildren. It’s only natural.
“Lincoln, please send Dad home. I’ll return with Ysabelle once the concert is over.”
This should do, right?
“Okay. I’ll leave with Dad then.”
Lincoln was worried that something untoward would happen if they continued to remain there. Thus, it would be prudent to get the family doctor to give William another examination once they were home.
On their way home, Lincoln kept asking William how he was feeling to the extent of irritating the latter.
“Didn’t I tell you that I’m fine? Why are you being so naggy? You’re a grown man for goodness sake.”
“I’m just worried about you. Do you know how scary it was to see you turn pale just now?” Why am I accused of being naggy?
“I’m fine. I feel much better after Sophie’s massage.” She does live up to her reputation as a student at the University of Medicine.
“Do you really not want me to call the family doctor?” Lincoln was still worried.
No matter how good Sophie is, she’s still an inexperienced student.
“Didn’t I just tell you that I’m fine?” There’s no need to summon the family doctor at all.
“All right. If you feel any discomfort, you have to tell me right away.” The family doctor stays next door after all. He can come at short notice if necessary.
By the time Sophie and Tristan returned to their seats, the concert had reached its climax. The Wheelers had gone on stage to present Ysabelle with flowers.
However, the sight of the ecstatic Ysabelle triggered a salty sensation within Felix.
I’ve done so much for her, but she’s never smiled so vibrantly before me! Just look at how brightly she’s smiling when The Wheelers are just handing her some flowers. How outrageous!
Frankly, he was jealous.
Meanwhile, the fans burst into an uproar.
“Ah! Oh my goodness! I can’t believe how compatible Ysabelle and Mark are standing side by side with each other.”
“Exactly! I might be seeing things, but is Mark looking at her affectionately?”
“Do you think they’re dating in secret?”
The relentless gossip almost overwhelmed Felix with jealousy.
Nevertheless, he knew that he had no choice but to control his temper, for it was Ysabelle’s concert after all.
Back on stage, Ysabelle requested excitedly, “My idol, can I sing a duet with you?”
That had always been Ysabelle’s dream.
“Of course you can. How can I bring myself to say no to someone as adorable as you?” Mark flashed her a doting smile.
Truth be told, Mark’s warm attitude toward Ysabelle was because of his feelings toward Sophie. Sophie was truly fond of Ysabelle, so it was only natural that Mark was nice to her, too.
Anything that was important to Sophie was just as important to him.
Although the duet they were about to sing wasn’t part of the program, and they had never rehearsed it before, both of them had no problems performing it on the spot as professionals.
Moreover, with The Wheelers’ support, they brought life to the song.
Consequently, the fans were exhilarated.
As they had bought the concert tickets expecting to only see Ysabelle, they felt that they had gotten more of their money’s worth with a bonus performance by The Wheelers.
It wasn’t until the concert was over and all the fans had left that Ysabelle finally relaxed. Subsequently, Sophie approached her with a big bouquet of flowers.
“Congratulations, Ysabelle. Your concert today was a phenomenal success. You have finally achieved everything that you wanted.” Sophie beamed with pride. This is the result of all the effort she had put in for the entire year.
