Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Calvin insisted on taking her to the hospital.

Eliza gasped, “Calvin, you’re hurting me!”

He immediately panicked and loosened his grip.

Eliza quickly stepped back to a safe distance, rubbing her wrist where he had gripped it so tightly, her expression cold and her tone sarcastic, much like the way he used to speak to her.

“I never knew you cared so much about other people’s business. If you have this much time, why not go care more about your ‘first love“?”

Eliza quickly averted her gaze, not willing to waste another second on him.

Her hand was burning with pain, and she needed to go to the hospital for treatment.

She raised her hand to hail a car, too irritated to deal with the emotionally unstable man.

Calvin made a call to Brace, “Bring the car over, take Eliza to the hospital.”

If she refused to go with him, then let Brace take her.

As long as she wasn’t delayed in treating her wound, that was fine.

Before Brace could arrive, a car pulled up.

Hector parked the car in front of Eliza and lowered the window. “Miss Grant, where are you going? Let me give you a ride.”

Normally, Eliza might not have bothered Hector, but right now, she just wanted to get away from the emotionally unpredictable “past” she was dealing with, so without hesitation, she got into his car.

Please take me to the hospital.”

Hector was more than happy to oblige.

When he heard she was going to the hospital, he immediately asked with concern,

What happened? Are you sick?”

I burned my hand.”

Hector didn’t waste any time, quickly driving her to the hospital, worried about delaying her treatment.

Calvin stood quietly in place, almost self–destructively watching her get into Hector’s car.

Even after the car had driven off, he still stared at the spot for a long time, his gaze cold and his emotions unreadable.

It felt as if his heart was gripped by a large hand, making it hard to breathe.

Brace drove up and noticed Eliza was missing, so he asked Calvin, “Where’s Miss Grant?”

Calvin clenched his jaw, then said, “She left with someone else.”

Brace fell silent, not daring to say a word.

Eliza’s burn wasn’t serious. After the doctor treated her wound, she was given burn ointment and anti inflammatory medicine.

Hector stayed with her the entire time.

Even though Eliza told him she could handle it, he made no move to leave.

After they left the hospital. Hector insisted on taking her to her office.

Eliza offered to treat him to a meal as a thank you.

Hector agreed, saying he had time that day.

Then let’s do it today,” Eliza said easily.

You hurt your hand. I’ll pick you up after work.”

“Okay, see you later.”

Right when work ended, Hector called, saying he had arrived downstairs at her office.

Eliza, who had no overtime, was punctual for the meeting and was about to return the coat he had lent her earlier.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw him standing under the awning outside the door, holding an umbrella and waiting.

The rainy season in Washington had lasted more than ten days without a break, and the air felt damp and sticky.

Why aren’t you waiting in the car?” Eliza noticed that his coat had become damp from the rain.

I was afraid you didn’t bring an umbrella, so this way I can catch you.”

He said this as he moved the umbrella over her head, while his other shoulder remained exposed to the rain.

liza, concerned that he would get wet, moved closer to him.

hey both walked towards the temporary parking spot where Hector’s car was parked, sharing the same umbrella.

liza had already booked a restaurant, so when they got into the car, she gave him the address.

lector unlocked his phone and handed it to her, “Can you help me with the navigation? I can’t spare a hand while driving.”

Sure.” Eliza opened the map app to start the navigation.

ust as she finished, a call came in.

eeing a familiar name, Xander, Fliza wondered if this was the Mr. Watts that Matilda had mentioned introducing to her.

he surname was rare, and the chances of two people sharing both the name and surname were low, but Eliza still wasn’t sure.

lector saw the incoming call on the car screen and answered it through the car system, so Eliza could hear it too

ander’s voice came through, “Are you free tonight? I was thinking of introducing my friend to you”

lector knew that besides himself, Xander had only one other friend in Washington. That friend was the one he was fond of

f Hector had no plans with Eliza that day, he probably would have gone

ut right now, he declined Zander’s invitation, saying “Maybe next time, I have plans today

Lander said “Okay and hung up.

mmediately after, he made another call. When the other person answered, his tone was noticeably softer

Are you out yet?”

Medea was already on her way out, “I’m at the door.”

Chapter 131

“Wait for me.” Xander hung up and opened the car door, quickly running toward the entrance to meet Medea, holding an umbrella.

At the front of the building, the car drove around the roundabout, and Medea saw Hector and Eliza inside the car, talking and laughing.

Her brow furrowed instantly, but when she saw Xander coming to greet her with the umbrella, her expression quickly relaxed, and she smiled at him.

You’re here.”

After dinner, Hector drove Eliza back to her place.

Thank you for your help today,” Eliza said with some guilt.

tector explained, “I don’t think it’s a trouble at all.”

On the contrary, I’m happy to help. I hope I can get more opportunities like this in the future.”

liza knew Hector was straightforward. After all, this was only the second time they met, and he was already confessing to her.

But right now, she had no interest in romantic matters and could only let down his feelings.

After saying goodbye to Hector, Eliza went back to her place.

t was still early, so she decided to work overtime.

The marking meeting was coming soon, and she couldn’t afford to slack off!

However, just as she opened her laptop, her phone flashed with a new message.

t was from Calvin.

le’s back again!

Unblock me from your Facebook blacklist.]

razy, she couldn’t be bothered.

liza didn’t even open the message and just tossed her phone aside.

Calvin, however, was persistent. He sent another message.

Hurry up, I need to talk to you.]

Eliza was annoyed and was about to turn off her phone.

A third message came in.
