Chapter 481
“Is he seriously injured?” Sophie asked.
“Is he seriously injured?” Sophie asked.
He's in the emergency room. He must have suffered severe injuries.
“He was shot!”
Felix had a glum look on his face. He had made a poor choice out of panic. In actuality, he should not have asked
Sophie to come to the hospital.
Everyone from the Lombard family will arrive soon. How should I explain Sophie's existence to Old Mr. Lombard
later?
“What?” Seeing Felix act that way, Sophie knew it had to be serious. “I'll go in and have a look.”
Sophie was experienced in treating gunshot wounds. Besides, she was also hesitant to let someone else treat
Tristan's injury.
“Sophie, I don't think you should go inside. After all, you haven't even begun taking classes yet, despite having
applied to the University of Medicine.”
Felix was aware of Sophie's extraordinary talents.
However, it was related to Tristan's life.
He could not take the risk.
Charles and Sean both rushed over as soon as they heard the news. When they noticed Felix's body was covered in
blood, their faces darkened.
D*mn it! Who has the audacity to assassinate Tristan and Felix?
Before they could ask anything, the doctor came out.
Sophie hurried over the moment she saw the doctor.
“How are things? How's my boyfriend?”
“Ms. Tanner, the location of the bullet is very tricky. There's currently nothing we can do about it. Didn't you just
perform an operation with Professor Gullifer? Can you come in now and check on the wound?”
They were in Jipsdale's top hospital, and they had the best surgeons.

Yet, after seeing the position of the bullet, no one dared to do anything because the man lying on the operating
table was Tristan.
If something happened to Tristan while he was on the operating table, the Lombard family would not let the doctors
off the hook.
That was why the professionals were afraid and did not know what to do.
“You!” Felix was infuriated.
They're the best doctors in Jipsdale. How could they say such things now?
“Arius Gullifer is in Jipsdale, right? I'll get in touch with him right away,” said Felix.
Arius is the world's most renowned surgeon. Everything will be fine if he can come here right now.
“No. I can't wait any longer. Take me inside now.” Sophie was determined to check on Tristan herself.
“Sophie, don't act hastily. Impulsive behavior often results in trouble.”
Nonetheless, Sophie ignored the three men and let the doctor lead her inside. After changing her clothes, she
followed the doctor into the emergency room.
“How is it? Has the call been connected?” Charles, Sean, and Felix had no intention of entrusting Tristan's life to a
medical student who had not even enrolled at the University of Medicine.
Shaking his head, Sean replied, “No one answered the phone.”
Sarah and Lincoln arrived shortly after hearing the news. They kept Tristan's injury a secret from William because
they did not know how serious it was.
“How are things?” Sarah inquired as soon as she arrived.
Felix shook his head and apologized, “I'm sorry, Sarah. I didn't do a good job of protecting Tristan.”
He wished he had been the one who had been shot.
Sarah gave him a pat on the shoulder after noticing how awful he was feeling.
“No one could have predicted such a thing would happen. Are you injured?” She could tell that things were bad
when she saw that Felix was covered in blood.
However, saying those at the time was pointless.
Right then, saving Tristan's life was of utmost importance.
“I'm fine.” Felix was actually hurt as well, but it was not anything serious. At that moment, he just wanted to stay
there.
Moments later, Ysabelle also showed up at the hospital. When she saw Felix's frightening appearance, she ran over
and hugged him.
“Felix, what happened? Where's Uncle Tristan?” Ysabelle was on the verge of crying since she had never seen such
a scene. “Felix, where are you hurt? I'll ask the doctor to come over and treat your wound.”
After seeing Felix covered in blood, she finally realized how worried she had been about him.
Felix did not feel at ease until he was hugged by Ysabelle.
She was the only person in his mind when he was assassinated.
He thought that if he actually died, he would deeply regret not telling her how much he liked her.
Felix embraced Ysabelle and kissed her on the forehead.
“Ysabelle, don't worry. I'm fine.”
Because he seemed so serious, Ysabelle repeatedly checked on him but discovered that he was constantly
bleeding.
“Felix, what the hell is going on with you? You were also shot. Why are you still standing here?” she questioned.
What is he doing? Does he not want to live anymore?
When Charles and Sean heard that, they ripped Felix's clothes open and discovered that he, too, had been shot.
“Felix!”
Both of them were bereft of speech.
He's not even a doctor. What is his reason for remaining here?
“I'm fine, really,” uttered Felix.
“Bullsh*t!” Charles could not help cursing. “Who the hell dared to cause harm to my friends?”
He could not wait to tear the other party apart.
Next, he immediately requested a stretcher and sent Felix to have his wound treated. Ysabelle instinctively followed
after Felix, completely forgetting that her uncle was still in the emergency room.

At that moment, she only had Felix in her eyes.
Charles followed Ysabelle, while Sean stayed behind to accompany Lincoln and Sarah.
“Lincoln, Sarah, please take a seat over there.”
It had been a horrible day.
“Sean, don't worry about us.” Lincoln anxiously looked at the door of the emergency room. He then turned around
and looked at Sarah. “Don't tell Dad about this. He's already in his old age. We shouldn't make him worry.”
Sarah was aware of his concerns.
As people aged, it was only natural for them not to be in as good shape as before.
Something terrible might happen if their father became stressed and upset.
“Don't worry, Lincoln. I'm not going to say anything.” Sarah was anxious as well, but all she could do for the time
being was wait.
Meanwhile, Sophie entered the operating room after changing her clothes. Everyone else knew that she was Arius'
junior.
“Ms. Tanner, the situation is critical. Surgery must be performed right away, but I'm not confident.”
Sophie nodded and replied, “Okay, I understand.”
Next, she glanced at the position of the bullet. The location was indeed very tricky. They would not be able to save
Tristan if they were not cautious.
There were several specialists in the operating room, but none dared to perform the surgery.
After all, the person lying on the operating table was Tristan.
If something were to happen to him, none of them could bear the responsibility.
“I'll do it!”
Sophie came to the conclusion that they did not have enough time to wait for Arius. As time passed, the situation
would only get worse.
“Ms. Tanner, are you certain? Isn't Professor Gullifer also in Jipsdale? We should invite him over.”
The stakes of this surgery were extremely high.
It had to be a success. Failure was not an option.
“We don't have time for that,” Sophie stated. If they missed the golden hour, the man on the operating table whom
she loved the most might never get up for the rest of his life.
