Felix Is in Trouble
The assistant, who came in after hearing the commotion, began to panic as well when she saw the state Ysabelle was in.
“What happened to you, Ysabelle? Come on: I’ll get you to a hospital right away!” the assistant said while reaching out to pull her up, but Ysabelle brushed her hand aside and insisted. “I’m fine. I’m just feeling a little unwell, that’s all. Could you pour me a glass of water, please?”
This can’t be happening! Felix has been hanging out with Uncle Tristan for such a long time, so he must be capable of handling himself? He’ll be fine!
Meanwhile, Tristan had received a call from Bertram as well.
“Bad news, Mr. Tristan! Mr. Northley ran into some trouble! I haven’t been able to contact him since yesterday, so I sent a lot of my men out on a search for him. They have yet to find anything at the
moment.
Bertram knew just how much Felix meant to Tristan. Besides that, Felix was Ysabelle’s boyfriend, so Bertram would have a hard time explaining himself to Tristan if anything bad happened to him.
Since he couldn’t find Felix, he had no choice but to tell Tristan about it.
“Got it. Have your men continue the search. I’ll head over right away.” Tristan replied with a gloomy look. on his face. He, too, had lost contact with Felix ever since he found out about the incident in Fandar.
Things were really bad this time.
Sophie came rushing over after Ysabelle’s assistant called her and told her about how something must have happened to Felix.
“Got it. I’ll continue the search, Tristan said and hung up the phone.
He figured Sophie must have known about it too when he saw her standing there.
“I’m making a trip to Fandar.”
“I’ll go with you.”
The situation in Fandar was way too chaotic, and Felix’s whereabouts were still unknown, so Sophie felt a need to go there herself.
“Could you stay here instead? I don’t want you to go there.”
“I told you, Tristan. I will stay by your side no matter what happens. Besides, my skills with a computer could come in handy there. On top of that, I’m also a doctor, so I can treat Felix if he’s injured.”
Given her skillset, she would be a valuable asset to have on the team.
“All right, then. I’ll have someone make the flight arrangements.”
Tristan then told his secretary to get them on a direct flight to Fandar.
“What about Ysabelle? She knows about this too. Should we bring her along?” Sophie asked. While she believed that it would be best to have Ysabelle remain in Chanaca, she was certain that Ysabelle would insist on tagging along now that she knew about Felix’s situation.
“We’ll bring her along. It’ll be harder to protect her if she goes there on her own.” Given how chaotic things were in Fandar, it was simply too dangerous to let Ysabelle head over all by herself.
“Got it!” Sophie then called Ysabelle’s assistant and said, “Take Ysabelle to the airport and meet up with us there. We’ll be taking a direct flight to Fandar.”
Ysabelle began crying the moment she saw Sophie at the airport. At that moment, she regretted arguing with Felix as she believed he wouldn’t have gotten himself into danger otherwise.
This is all my fault!
“Come on: stop crying. We’re heading over to look for Felix, aren’t we? He’ll be fine!” Sophie reassured her. With me and Tristan on the case, I’m sure we’ll be able to find Felix no matter where he is!
“Yeah…”
I never intended for things to turn out like this! I have to believe that Felix will make it back safely! Even if we don’t end up together, I still want him to be safe and sound!
Tristan figured Ysabelle probably hadn’t eaten anything when he saw how depressed she looked, so he bought her some food from a nearby restaurant.
“Here, you need to eat something, or I will have my men send you back.”
