Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 208

But Sadie quickly told her that no one else was injured.

Eliza was confused.

She had clearly smelled a strong scent of blood at the time and heard someone grunt.

Thinking about that grunt, she hesitated again.

It was very familiar.

So familiar that she didn’t dare believe it.

She felt like she was hallucinating.

The situation had been too chaotic at the time, maybe she had misheard it.

liza tried to erase that strange thought from her mind.

Gideon sent her a message, saying that the materials were ready and asking her to confirm if anything was missing.

liza glanced at it, confirming there was nothing missing, and replied with “OK.”

he should have exited the chat window directly, but hesitated for a second and wanted to ask him a question.

Vhen she typed out Calvin’s name, Eliza suddenly came to her senses, then quickly deleted it and exited the chat box.

4 hours ago, Gideon had updated his Moments.

le sent his congratulations to Calvin and Medea for their engagement.

n the photo, Medea smiled happily.

alvin looked at her with deep affection.

liza dosed Facebook, and that little doubt in her heart was completely dispelled.

t turned out she had been overthinking.

he had actually thought that the person who saved her was Calvin,

One should never be too full of oneself.

Ars. Vega came to visit Eliza again in the afternoon. In fact, she looked even worse, with a face full of exhaustion.

When she arrived, a little girl, about seven or eight years old, was following her.

The little girl had big, round eyes, but her gaze was timid.

she kept holding onto Mrs. Vega’s sleeve and followed her dosely, not leaving her side.

When she noticed Eliza was looking at her, she quickly hid behind Mrs. Vega.

Mrs. Vega explained, “This is an orphan I helped. She has autisin.”

That night at the charity dinner, I fainted, which scared the little girl, so she’s been following me around and doesn’t want to let go,

Speaking of the dinner, Eliza felt a bit regretful that she hadn’t been able to attend.

“It’s okay, there will be more chances. Every year, I’ll hold one. And I’ll keep holding them,” Mrs. Vega lovingly stroked the little girl’s head. The girl buried her

face in Mrs. Vega’s arms.

It was clear that she trusted Mrs. Vega very much, which was why she clung to her like that.

Mrs. Vega was weak, so Eliza urged her to go back and rest before she left.

As the little girl was leaving, she looked back at Eliza at the door.

Eliza smiled at her.

The little girl paused for a moment, then quickly turned her head and walked away with Mrs. Vega.

Eliza had been ordered to rest in bed, but after lying there for two days, her bones ached from the stiffness.

eeling miserable, she decided to get out of bed and walk around while Sadie, who was always chatting, wasn’t around.

ler head was still dizzy, and she felt like the whole world was spinning. She had to hold onto the wall to barely manage walking.

he hallway was very quiet.

utside, it was raining, and the raindrops occasionally tapped against the windows.

liza saw a small figure squatting in the corner.

t was the little girl with autism.

he walked over, holding the wall for support, and squatted down beside the little girl.

he little girl glanced at her but didn’t speak.

liza didn’t say anything either. She just smiled at her and continued squatting.

he two of them, one big and one small, were squatting quietly in the corner.

fter a while, Sadie hurried over. When she saw Eliza squatting on the ground, she finally breathed a sigh of relief,

Eliza, what are you doing here?”

Chh,” Eliza reminded her not to speak.

adie was even more curious and quietly asked, “What are you two doing?”

he squatted down too, imitating them.

he little girl bit her lip and quietly said, “We’re about to turn into mushrooms.”

adie,” ”

liza tilted her head and asked the little girl, “Then what kind of mushroom are you?”

A strong mushroom.”

Jiza asked again, “What about me?”

The little girl blinked and said, “A beautiful mushroom”

Then why are you a strong mushroom?” Iliza asked

The little girl pouted, “Because this way, no one dares to bully me

Eliza’s heart twisted with a sour, aching feeling.

she reached out her hand and gently touched the little girl’s sleeve.

earing she might resist, she hesitated.

he little girl did shrink back a little but didn’t resist.

liza didn’t press further. Instead, she asked, “Can I be an even stronger mushroom? That way, I can protect you.”

he little girl stared at her for a long while before nodding, “Then you be a stronger, beautiful mushroom.”

When Mrs. Vega came to fetch her, the little girl was already asleep on Eliza’s bed.

he was quite surprised and asked Eliza how she managed to do that.

he even said that it had taken almost a year for her to gain the little girl’s trust.

fter hearing Eliza’s explanation, she sighed, “You really have your ways.”

he then sternly reprimanded Eliza, “The doctor told you to rest properly, right? You need to listen to them.”

liza immediately became obedient.

adie teased her, “Looks like only Mrs. Vega can control Eliza. I say something, and you don’t listen. But as soon as she says something, you become so

well–behaved. You should come more often.”

liza, “…”

fter Mrs. Vega and little girl left, Sadie couldn’t wait to share some gossip with Eliza.

Eliza, Eliza, I have explosive news!”

liza wasn’t very interested, “What kind of explosive news could you have?”

Trust me! It’s huge!” Sadie said, speaking faster than usual. “Mr. Young and Ms. Medea went to an island for their engagement ceremony. But guess what

appened?”

liza gave her a look.

look filled with daggers.

adle coughed quickly and blurted out the result, “During the engagement ceremony, Ms. Medea was kidnapped!”

liza wasn’t interested at first, but after hearing this, she became curious,

Kidnapped?”

What a coincidence, right?

Then what happened?” Fliza asked. “Did Calvin go bankrupt trying to save her?”

According to past storylines, that would be the route to take.

Sadie shook her head, “No, but…”

She paused, clearly hesitant to continue.

“But what?”

Sadie pouted, “I heard Mr. Young didn’t care about his own safety and went to rescue her personally. He even got injured, a gunshot wound”

Well, that makes sense.

This storyline isn’t bad.

It fits his deep feelings.

Eliza let out a slight sneer and didn’t ask further.

She stayed in bed for three more days and fully recovered.

On the day she was discharged, Vega came to pick her up.

Eliza finally had the chance to ask her lingering question: whether someone had gotten hurt trying to save her.

Vega explained, “Yes, but they’re almost better now, and they’ve been rewarded. Don’t worry about it.”

‘I want to thank them in person,” Eliza said.

After all, the person risked their life to save her, and it was a great favor.

That’s a bit unfortunate. He went back to his hometown yesterday. Don’t worry too much about it. It’s just part of his job,” Vega replied.

Eliza felt a bit regretful.

But since she would be frequently visiting G City, she thought she would have the chance to thank him in person, so she didn’t press further.

After personally sending Eliza and her group to the airport, Vega left.

When the plane landed in Washington, it was already late at night.

he airport was quiet at that hour.

liza and her group hurried toward the exit.

In the other side of the VIP passage, a group of people emerged, walking just as quickly.

It seems like it’s Mr. Young,” Sadie whispered.
