Chapter 401
Chapter 401 He Is Lord Campbell The first thing Donald did after he woke up was to go and check onYsabel. Members of the Stern family were crowded outside the ward, each of them bustling about andbehaving ingratiatingly. Many strangers and a few entrepreneurs had also started coming to thehospital to visit Ysabel, uttering all sorts of flattering remarks. “Ms. Zimmerman, please put in a goodword for me when Lord Campbell returns.” “Get lots of rest, Ms. Zimmerman.
You’ll only have the energy to meet with Lord Campbell once you recover.” “You’re so fortunate to haveearned Lord Campbell’s affections.” Even Beatrice’s social status seemed to have risen due to othersholding Ysabel in such high esteem. Although Ysabel still looked pale after regaining consciousness,she would be fine after resting for some time. As soon as Donald arrived at the hospital, the Sternfamily swarmed forward to block his path. The first person to stop him was Linda. “What do you thinkyou’re doing?” She narrowed her eyes at him, looking utterly displeased. “I’m telling you, regardless ofwhether it’s Ysabel or Jennifer, you can’t have either of them. Lord Campbell likes Ysabel, and Tristanlikes Jennifer. As for you, you don’t hold a candle to either of those men. Don’t meet with Ysabel andJennifer in the future. Do you think you’ll be able to take responsibility if you offend Tristan and LordCampbell?” Donald was stunned for a long while.
There’s a saying that goes, “Repeat a lie enough, and it becomes the truth.” Is this the terrifying powerof rumors? One of the Stern family’s elders said solemnly, “Donald, you’re seven years older thanYsabel. She’s still young, so don’t pester her anymore. It wouldn’t do for Lord Campbell tomisunderstand the situation.” Ysabel heard the commotion from inside the ward. Upon learning thatDonald had arrived, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Lord Campbell? The person standing infront of all of you is Lord Campbell himself! Doesn’t anyone among you know who he is? Nonetheless,she dared not say anything. All she could say was, “Let Donald come in.” All the Stern family membersobjected immediately, and Ysabel rolled her eyes. “If you don’t let him in, I’ll make sure Lord Campbellhears about this.” Only then did the Stern family give in. When Donald walked in, Ysabel broke into asmile. She looked exceptionally happy. “Mason was the one who sent the assassin,” he told her.novelbin
She shook her head. “I guessed as much. However, I don’t particularly feel like pursuing the matter.”“That’s all right. I’ll pursue the matter further,” came Donald’s reply. Beatrice was standing to one side,and she poured him a glass of water. “Thank you,” said Donald. Beatrice nodded in response. “Youdon’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?” She and Ysabel were still unaware of his condition. “I’mfine,” he replied. Linda squeezed her way in and said, “Fine? He doesn’t have long to live! He hascancer, and a few different types at that. He probably won’t make it past New Year’s.” Ysabel andBeatrice were shocked to hear that. While struggling to sit up in bed, Ysabel’s sudden movementtugged at the wound on her back. However, she did not feel a thing. “Is that true?”
“I can handle it myself,” Donald responded with a smile. Tears welled in Ysabel’s eyes instantly. “Whendid this happen?” He rose to his feet. “Let’s not talk about this. You should get some proper rest.”Beatrice was also gazing at Donald worriedly. Frankly, she felt that Donald was quite an outstandingman. As Donald turned around, his gaze became sharp and piercing. Next, it’s time to settle the scorewith Mason. Over at East City Machine Factory, Mason wore a ferocious expression as he stared atYsabel’s photo with a cruel look in his eyes. The factory was the Winstons’ family business, and it wasalso where they regularly held clan meetings. Andrew mused, “I didn’t expect this woman to be solucky. However, that James is also an idiot.” Mason remained silent. Suddenly, Albert hurried over andshouted, “Attention, everyone!
We’ve got work to do!” Andrew was the first person to spring to his feet. “What work?” Albert chuckled.“Do all of you still remember Reclamation Area One?” “Of course. Our family used to lease the area togrow crops. However, we already transferred ownership of that place a long time ago. Lord Campbelleven paid three times the compensation amount after the land reclamation,” Andrew replied.
