The banquet hall was in chaos. Gasps and shouts filled the air as Madam He slumped forward, unconscious.
Father He reacted first. "Call the doctor!"
He Yuchen had already moved, his voice calm but urgent as he made the call. "Prepare one of the rooms!" He instructed.
Guests whispered in confusion, some rising from their seats, others craning their necks to see. The joy that had filled the hall minutes ago had vanished, replaced by tension and fear.
Father He carried Madam He out of the hall in his arms, his usually composed expression tight with worry. The Yun couple followed closely, their faces pale.
Yun Li gathered her gown and hurried after them, He Yuchen keeping pace by her side. Huo Feng and Yue Ning followed quietly behind.
Thankfully, the banquet hall had several adjoining suites. Father He pushed one open, and together they helped settle Madam He onto the bed.
Her complexion was ashen, her breathing shallow.
