Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213

The next morning, all of Eliza’s test results were in, and she was ready to be discharged.

She didn’t tell anyone, afraid that they would all show up to take her home.

Eliza packed her things and went downstairs, planning to take a taxi directly to the company.

At the door, Calvin was already waiting.

t was an unexpected encounter.

alvin’s gaze landed on Eliza.

liza, however, ignored him and walked past him without a glance, heading straight for the exit.

Calv, have you been waiting for a long time?”

Medea and Regina came out just then.

learing the voice, Calvin looked away and stepped forward to take the luggage from Regina’s hands.

No, not long. The car is over there. Shall we walk over?”

Of course.”

fedea was in a good mood, and mother and daughter followed Calvin to the car.

While Calvin was placing the luggage in the trunk, Regina noticed Eliza standing by the roadside and nudged Medea with her elbow to point her attention there.

tedea glanced at Eliza indifferently.

eeing that she was alone and without anyone to take her home, the corner of her mouth curled into a barely noticeable sneer.

egina also gave a light chuckle, muttering, “How pitiful.”

fedea agreed

he had seen how attentive Josh had been to Eliza yesterday, thinking he might genuinely care about her situation.

kat now, he hadn’t even come to pick her up from the hospital.

Searly, it was nothing more than a passing interest.

n the end, josh had someone else in his heart, and Fliza was just a distraction for him. He wasn’t serious.

last as she was given to book away, a Rolls Royce suddenly stopped in front of Eliza

Ardea’s expression froze as she tooked on in confusion

Then, the rear door of the car opened, and a cane bit the ground

Soon after, Grayson got out of the car.

leeing this, the expressions of mother and daughter changed dramatically

Eliza was equally surprised when she saw Grayson Uncle Young why are you here?

Nancy told me you were being discharged today, so I came to pick you up

hapter 213

he driver also got out of the car and stepped forward to take Eliza’s luggage, placing it in the trunk.

esterday, when Nancy had brought food to Eliza, she had casually asked when she would be discharged.

iza had mentioned it would probably be today.

at she hadn’t expected Grayson to come personally to pick her up.

‘ou really shouldn’t have come.” Eliza supported Grayson as he got back in the car.

low’s your recovery?” Grayson asked, clearly concerned about her health.

early there. Otherwise, the doctor wouldn’t have discharged me,” Eliza responded.

ayson nodded in satisfaction. “You must take good care of yourself. Your health should always come first.”

edea and her mother watched as Eliza was picked up by Grayson, and their faces darkened.

atching the car leave, Medea’s eyes grew colder with every passing second.

1 the way back, Regina subtly asked Calvin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, “Calv, you and Medea are practically engaged now, shouldn’t you arrange for th parents to meet and discuss your wedding plans?”

ly father’s been resting for the past six months due to health issues, and since the wedding involves so many details, I didn’t want to bother him. I’ll take care everything myself,” Calvin replied.

gina frowned, about to argue that a wedding was a big deal and that parents should definitely be involved.

It before she could speak, Calvin added, “I don’t have any particular demands. Everything will be based on Medea’s needs.”

ese words completely soothed the slight displeasure in Regina’s heart.

edea’s previously gloomy expression also softened a little after hearing this.

tom, we just got engaged, and you’re already pushing for the wedding. Isn’t that a little too eager? It makes it look like I’m desperate to get married!” Medea ised, pretending to complain to Regina.

gina immediately understood and quickly said, “It’s just that I’m excited. Our Medea is so outstanding, there are plenty of people pursuing her. It’s not that e’s desperate to get married.”

e then didn’t forget to remind Calvin, “Calv, you better hurry up. Medea is very much in demand. There were so many European nobles chasing her when she as abroad.”

understand,” Calvin replied seriously.

gina then asked about the Young family’s business, specifically the current situation of Young Group.

ver since I decided to start my own business, I haven’t been involved with Young Group at all, so my knowledge of it is about the same as yours.” Calvin :plained.

egina furrowed her brow. “No matter what, you’re the only heir to the Young family. You should get more familiar with it. After all, your father is getting der, and if you take on more responsibility, he’ll have less to worry about.”

The group is being managed by professional managers now. He doesn’t have to worry about it Im more focused on my own business, so I really can’t take on ore,” Calvin explained.

egina didn’t know how to respond to that.

lowever, she knew better than to push the issue further.

fter all, she was just the future mother in law.

fedea gave her a look, signaling her to stop talking.

Regina nodded and didn’t bring it up again.

Mother and daughter both knew that, regardless of anything, Calvin was the only son of Grayson and naturally the sole heir to Young Group.

That was a done deal, something they didn’t need to worry about.

Grayson personally drove Eliza to Apex.

liza took the opportunity to invite him to visit the company, and Grayson didn’t refuse.

le was also curious to see how Eliza’s company was doing.

he visit was a last–minute decision. He had originally been worried that Eliza hadn’t prepared anything, and since it was a new company, there might be some

ssues.

ut to his surprise, the company was organized and efficient.

ven though the boss had been in the hospital for the past few days, everything still ran smoothly.

fter touring the company, Grayson became even more impressed with Eliza.

le sat in Eliza’s office for a while, enjoying the tea she made, before finally bringing up the main topic.

The Washington Business Association is about to hold its annual conference. In previous years, I’ve always hosted it, but this year, I’m not feeling well, so I ras wondering if you could attend on my behalf.”

liza’s heart skipped a beat, and she stood up excitedly.

I was no surprise that she was shocked.

his was the Washington Business Association’s annual conference, an opportunity that so many entrepreneurs dreamed of,

ven though Eliza was now one of the top women in Washington, she still might not meet the requirements to attend the conference.

he annual conference gathered the best entrepreneurs from various industries, and it was the largest, most prestigious, and influential business event in Vashington.

Unde Young, I’m afraid I won’t do a good job.”

hough Eliza had accompanied Calvin to many important conferences, she had always participated in the role of a secretary.

he had no experience in such large scale events.

she wasn’t confident and didn’t dare to take on such a heavy responsibility.

Grayson raised his hand to reassure her “You’re only attending on my behalf. The details have already been delegated to others in the association. Think of it as in opportunity to broaden your horizons, there’s no need to put too much pressure on yourself”

‘I just don’t want to disappoint you.”

If she were attending in her own name, she wouldn’t have such concerns.

But since it would be in Grayson’s name, she had to consider everything more carefully

“If you’re not comfortable, then forget I mentioned it,” Grayson said, still in a gentle tone
