Chapter 919 Fever
Ysabelle was down with a fever the night Felix left. It was Sarah who found out that Ysabelle was ill. In fact, her body temperature shot up to thirty-nine degrees.
“Ysabelle…” Sarah didn’t know what to say to Ysabelle. She wanted to break up with him. Now that Felix is gone, she’s here mumbling his name! Why did she do this to herself?
Ysabelle was basically drifting in and out of consciousness that night due to her high fever. In fact, she worked the day.
Initially, she thought she would have no problem losing Felix.
However, she started feeling unwell that evening, so she went up to her room to rest after dinner.
Sarah called the family doctor the second she found out Ysabelle had a fever. Sarah didn’t mean to wake anybody else, but William woke up because he was a light sleeper.
When William saw the doctor, he couldn’t help asking the doctor. “Why are you here at this hour? Has someone fallen sick?”
“I think Ysabelle has fallen sick. I’ll check on her. Don’t worry.” The family doctor made his way toward Ysabelle’s room.
William obviously got worried, so he followed the family doctor.
When William saw Ysabelle’s reddened cheeks, he grew even more worried. “What’s going on?”
Sarah shrugged in response. “She’ll be fine, Dad. It’s just a fever. The doctor will sort her out. Go back to sleep, okay? I’ll take care of her.”
The family doctor diagnosed Ysabelle with a fever and prescribed her some medicine. “Two tablets will do it.
Sarah helped Ysabelle up and fed her the pills, but Ysabelle couldn’t stop mumbling Felix’s name.
-What happened to her relationship with Felix? Did Felix wrong her?” William asked. That has to be it! Otherwise, why would this happen to Belle?
“I don’t know, Dad. It’s their relationship, so we don’t get to say who’s wrong and who’s right. Stay out of it, okay?” Sarah said.
“I knew Felix wasn’t a reliable man.” William was displeased because of what his granddaughter had become ever since she got into a relationship with Felix.
Upon knowing that Ysabelle was fine, William went back to sleep, leaving Sarah to take care of Ysabelle.
On the next day, Tristan and Sophie went to visit Ysabelle after learning about her condition.
Due to the fever the night before, Ysabelle wasn’t in good shape that morning, and her face was as pale as a sheet.
Ysabelle squeezed out a smile when she saw Sophie. “I’m all right, Sophie! I guess it’s just fatigue kicking in!” Ysabelle exclaimed. Why did they come to see me? It was just a fever!
“Rest well, then. I’ve already spoken to Xandra and told her to rearrange your schedule.” Sophie wasn’t a bad employer, so she wouldn’t take advantage of her subordinate.
“That’s not necessary. I’ll rest today, but I’m going back to work tomorrow,” Ysabelle assured. I’m actually feeling fine!
“You can’t do this to yourself, Ysabelle. Felix has only been gone for a day, and you’ve already fallen sick! What if he finds out about this?” Sophie asked.
“Don’t tell him any of this. I didn’t fall sick because of him,” Ysabelle uttered. Fandar is a dangerous place, so Felir needs to focus instead of thinking about me
“Is that so?” Sophie questioned. Ysabelle didn’t sound convincing at all.
“Yes, Sophie. I’m drained. Let me take a nap!” Ysabelle wanted to stop thinking about Felix. God help me. I only discovered that I couldn’t let go of my feelings toward him now that he had left.
“Okay. Rest well.” Knowing that Ysabelle was fine, Sophie breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, William had instructed Tristan to meet him in the study.
“Didn’t you
know Felix was Ysabelle’s boyfriend? Why did you let him go to Fandar? What if something bad happens to that boy? What’s going to happen to Ysabelle?” William queried.
Tristan was rendered speechless. I didn’t ask him to go there!
“Dad, Felix decided to go there himself. Besides, I was Ysabelle who wanted the breakup. I have no do with this,” Tristan argued.
“How could you say that? Would Felix and Ysabelle have gotten together if not for you?”
“How am I the reason?” Tristan was feeling helpless. They decided to get into a relationship! What di anything to do with me?
“At the end of the day, you’re Ysabelle’s uncle. Hence, it’s your responsibility to take care of her. That includes her relationship,” William retorted. I don’t want to see my granddaughter suffer emotionally!
Words eluded Tristan. Was I supposed to meddle in her love life?
“Listen to me. I don’t want to see anybody hurting Belle. Otherwise, I’ll make life difficult for all of you, William uttered.
At that moment, Tristan decided to keep his mouth shut.
“What’s the matter? What’s on your mind? You’d better speak now,” William ordered.
“I don’t have anything to say because I would never doubt your words,” Tristan replied. Isn’t that what he wants to hear? “I have to look for Sophie now. After all, I need to look after my wife!” Tristan continued.
Then he went to look for Sophie. She was scrolling through her phone in his room when he found her. “Is Ysabelle okay?”
“Yes. Her fever has subsided, so she’s fine. I think a good day of rest ought to do it. What’s wrong? Did Old Mr. Lombard reprimand you?” she asked.
“Yes! He told me to meddle in Ysabelle’s love life! How could I possibly do that?” Tristan complained. How am I supposed to do that when Ysabelle has an attitude problem!
Sophie giggled when she saw how frustrated Tristan was. Huh, only Old Mr. Lombard can do this to him.
“What’s with you? Don’t you feel bad for me?”
“Of course, I do! Why don’t you just get Felix to come back?” Sophie asked.
“No. How can I? Felix has only just arrived there! He should make use of such a good opportunity to improve himself. Since he’s already there, he should solve the problems there before coming back.”
“Well, there’s nothing I can do if Old Mr. Lombard decides to make life difficult for you then.”
“You’re right. Forget about him. After all, there’s not much he can do to me. Frankly, I think Felix and Ysabelle are bound to get back together in the end,” Tristan said. I doubt Felix will give up on Ysabelle. It’s just that I don’t know what he told her before he left.
“Still, what’s the matter with the both of them? Why can’t they just be with each other and cherish each other? Why are they messing with each other all the time?” Tristan grumbled. The worst thing is that we’re now also affected!
Ysabelle recovered fully the next day, but she was still feeling lethargic. “Sophie, I’m fit to go back to work now. Are you going to the office? Let’s go together!”
Sophie shook her head immediately upon hearing that. “Ysabelle, I’m not an evil employer. I’ve already cleared your schedule for the next two days. You ought to rest.”
“That’s not necessary,” Ysabelle argued. I’m feeling good, so I don’t need to rest anymore.
“What are you on about? You must stay home for the next couple of days to rest! Perhaps you should even rest for a week,” William demanded. How could she be thinking about work when she had just fallen sick? Does she have a death wish?
Ysabelle didn’t dare to utter a word when she saw how angry William was.
“Keep your mind off of things and rest at home. At worst. I’ll invest in your next song!” William uttered. After all, that’s how things work in the entertainment industry.
Ysabelle was bereft of words. Where did Grandpa learn that from? That’s not how things work in the entertainment industry.
“Okay, Grandpa. I understand,” Ysabelle replied. If I don’t take some time off work, everyone will start coming at
“What you are doing in the afternoon, Sophie?” Ysabelle asked.
“I’m going to check out some wedding gowns because we’re taking wedding photos soon,” Sophie answered. Since I have nothing going on at the medical association for the next couple of days, I guess I should start picking my wedding gown. After all, Tristan already had everything planned out.
“Let me go with you! If I were to stay home, I would be bored to death. Ysabelle didn’t want to be home alone.
“Sure. That sounds good.” Sophie knew Ysabelle was moody. Yabelle should go out to clear her mind. She would have more problems if she were to stay home and sulk all day long.
In the afternoon, Tristan brought Sophie and Ysabelle to the most famous bridal house in Jipsdale to try on wedding gowns.
In fact, plenty of socialites and daughters of wealthy families in Jipsdale took their wedding photos there. The brides all looked fabulous in the photos because they had excellent photographers.
Therefore, not only did one have to be rich to take wedding photos there, but one would also be put on a waiting list.
Upon arriving at the bridal store, Ysabelle and Sophie got out of the car first and walked up to the entrance.
Tristan, meanwhile, went to send his car to the valet. Evidently, the bridal store had exceptional services as well.
When the receptionist saw Sophie and Ysabelle, she went up to them instantly and asked, “Hi, there. Did you guys make an appointment?”
Apparently, there were too many customers who were eager to try on the wedding gowns at the store. Hence, all the customers had to make an appointment prior to the visit.
Ysabelle glanced at Sophie and asked, “Did you make an appointment?”
