Chapter 401 He Is Lord Campbell The first thing Donald did after he woke up was to go and check on Ysabel. Members of the
Stern family were crowded outside the ward, each of them bustling about and behaving ingratiatingly. Many strangers and a few
entrepreneurs had also started coming to the hospital to visit Ysabel, uttering all sorts of flattering remarks. “Ms. Zimmerman,
please put in a good word 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 have earned Lord Campbell’s
affections.” Even Beatrice’s social status seemed to have risen due to others holding 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 Stern family swarmed forward to block his path. The first person to stop him was Linda. “What do you think
you’re doing?” She narrowed her eyes at him, looking utterly displeased. “I’m telling you, regardless of whether it’s Ysabel or
Jennifer, you can’t have either of them. Lord Campbell likes Ysabel, and Tristan likes Jennifer. As for you, you don’t hold a
candle to either of those men. Don’t meet with Ysabel and Jennifer in the future. Do you think you’ll be able to take responsibility
if you offend Tristan and Lord Campbell?” 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 power of rumors? One of the
Stern family’s elders said solemnly, “Donald, you’re seven years older than Ysabel. She’s still young, so don’t pester her
anymore. It wouldn’t do for Lord Campbell to misunderstand the situation.” Ysabel heard the commotion from inside the ward.
Upon learning that Donald had arrived, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Lord Campbell? The person standing in front 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 members objected immediately, and Ysabel rolled her eyes. “If you
don’t let him in, I’ll make sure Lord Campbell hears about this.” Only then did the Stern family give in. When Donald walked in,
Ysabel broke into a smile. She looked exceptionally happy. “Mason was the one who sent the assassin,” he told her.
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. “You don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?” She and Ysabel were still unaware
of his condition. “I’m fine,” he replied. Linda squeezed her way in and said, “Fine? He doesn’t have long to live! He has cancer,
and a few different types at that. He probably won’t make it past New Year’s.” Ysabel and Beatrice were shocked to hear that.
While struggling to sit up in bed, Ysabel’s sudden movement tugged 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. “When did 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 outstanding man. As Donald turned around, his gaze became sharp and piercing. Next, it’s
time to settle the score with Mason. Over at East City Machine Factory, Mason wore a ferocious expression as he stared at
Ysabel’s photo with a cruel look in his eyes. The factory was the Winstons’ family business, and it was also where they regularly
held clan meetings. Andrew mused, “I didn’t expect this woman to be so lucky. However, that James is also an idiot.” Mason
remained silent. Suddenly, Albert hurried over and shouted, “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 to grow crops. However, we already
transferred ownership of that place a long time ago. Lord Campbell even paid three times the compensation amount after the
land reclamation,” Andrew replied.
