Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490

Charles was dumbfounded.

Charles was dumbfounded.

If word got out that I was competing against a young lady, wouldn't my reputation be ruined?

“Sophie, I'm sorry. I don't want to fight you. Please give me a pass!”

“Mr. Quigley, what's the meaning of this? Are you underestimating me?” If that's the case, the more the reason to go through with the challenge.

Charles gave Tristan a pleading look.

Mr. Tristan, can you rein in your girlfriend, please? Look at how intimidating she is! Is it necessary for her to go so far?

“Sophie, I'm not underestimating you at all! Aren't we in a hospital? It's inappropriate to have a contest here. Let's do it some other time.”

“Fine. We'll settle this challenge once Mr. Tristan is discharged.”

The man was rendered speechless.

With that, Charles slipped away with Sean.

No sooner had he emerged from the ward than he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Sean, what sort of woman is Mr. Tristan's girlfriend? Why does she want to challenge a man to a fight?” Is such aggression really necessary?

Sean peeled his hand away.

“That's what you get for running your mouth!”

He obviously deserves it.

Charles was stumped.

Is this what friends are for? It's one thing if he doesn't help, but why does he have to kick me when I'm down?

When they arrived at Felix's room, they were greeted by an unwelcoming expression.

“Sheesh, Felix. Despite our exhaustion, we still took time out to visit both of you. In the end, all you and Mr. Tristan have given us is that unwelcoming look. Don't you think you're being too much?”

“Enough. Now that you have seen me, it's time for you to go,” Felix snapped.

Over the last few days, he was relishing in the attentive care Ysabelle had showered upon him.

However, the presence of his two friends might cause her to ignore him, which was his worst nightmare.

“Look at how incompetent you are. What's so difficult about cementing your relationship with Ysabelle?”

Charles didn't know what to say to him anymore.

Can't you just make her yours by sleeping with her? Why is it so hard?

Having enough of his friends, Felix ignored the comment.

“A person like you will never understand me. You're nothing but a stud who's not qualified to talk to me about women!”

I want to spend the rest of my life with Ysabelle. There's no way I'm going to win her over with such a crass method.

Charles was rendered speechless.

What's wrong with being a stud? Isn't it great to live this way? I get to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh without the commitment to tie me down.

“Fine. Since you're doing all right, we'll take our leave. That said, you had better come back and manage your company once you've recovered.”

It's exhausting for the two of us to be running four conglomerates, you know?

“Sean, it wasn't easy for me to get myself hospitalized, but I still want to thank you for your help. I'll give both of you a treat once I'm discharged.”

He was not only reluctant to leave, but he also intended to stay longer.

“You're crazy! This is the first time I've heard someone enjoying their stay in the hospital.” Charles felt as if his mind was blown.

“Exactly. You had better know when to stop milking the sympathy Ysabelle has for you. Beware of overdoing it!” Sean reminded him.

“This is the expression of her love for me, not sympathy, got that?” It's clear that Ysabelle has feelings for me. Otherwise, why would she bother to take care of me?

“Whatever. We're not going to waste any more time with you. You should know what's good for you.” Don't wait till you get on Ysabelle's nerves before regretting it.

Nonetheless, there was no getting through to Felix, for he was currently intoxicated by his bliss.

Sean had barely left when Ysabelle returned. As something came up at TS Entertainment that required her presence, she dealt with it quickly before coming back.

“Felix, it seems that you're close to full recovery.” Since his wound isn't as serious as Uncle Tristan's, I wonder if he can already be discharged.

“Ysabelle, what do you mean? Are you sick of me already?” Her words caused Felix's heart to drop.

Have the predictions of those two jinxes come true?

“Now that my new album is ready and we'll be promoting it soon, I won't have time to tend to you.”

Ever since she was young, Felix treated her very well despite having a vicious tongue. Therefore, she was now returning the favor by caring for him unreservedly.

Nevertheless, she was still an artiste and had to fulfill her obligations to her company.

“Oh...”

Disappointment crept into Felix.

Am I less important to her compared to her album?

“I'm fine. You should get back to work. I'll hire a caregiver instead.” Felix was visibly upset.

When she saw the look on his face, Ysabelle couldn't help but feel helpless.

“Now that you're ready to go home, what's the point in staying in the hospital?”

It's really troublesome here. Wouldn't you be better off with more people to care for you at home?

“I feel more comfortable in the hospital. You don't have to worry about me, really. Go ahead with whatever you need to do. I have already taken up a lot of your time.”

Faced with the depressed Felix, Ysabelle didn't quite know what to say.

“All right then. I'm taking my leave now. As I'll be busy tomorrow, I might not be able to visit you here.”

Is she leaving already? Do I really not mean anything to her for her to go just like that?

The devastated Felix let out a sigh.

“I'm leaving now.”

“Okay!”

There was nothing else he could say, for his words had fallen on deaf ears. Consequently, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

“Jeez! What am I to do? I can't bring myself to leave when I see how pitiful you are!”

Not wanting to put her in a difficult position, Felix broke into a smile.

“All right now, young lady, it's time for you to chase your dreams! I'm really fine. In fact, I'll get myself discharged tomorrow and head home. That way, you don't have to worry anymore.”

Since I love her, I should support the pursuit of her passion. It isn't right for me to stand in the way of her career.

“Really?”

“Yes, so go on now. I, too, would one day like to see you perform on stage in all your glory.”

How can I not support her in achieving her childhood dream?

All of a sudden, Ysabelle gave him a gentle hug.

“Felix, thank you for always being by my side and standing by me.” He has been really, really good to me.

“Mm-hmm. Go now!”

All of a sudden, Felix began to choke up.

He felt as if his daughter was all grown up and leaving for someplace far away. Unable to go with her, all he could do was stay home and play the role of a worried father.

“Do your best! I'll always be your biggest fan!” No matter what, Ysabelle would always be the best to him.

“Okay, I'm leaving now.”

A simple hug had assuaged all his concerns. That was how easy it was to please him.
