Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219

Why did Calvin call her?

It was definitely no good.

Eliza didn’t answer, leaving the phone to hang up automatically.

After that, Calvin didn’t call again.

However, Matt soon called, saying that Gabe had injured his foot while playing golf and asked if she could contact Dr. Jensen to come to the hotel and give Gabe

Acupuncture.

liza glanced at the time. Dr. Jensen had already finished for the day.

He was a very disciplined person and always shut off his phone once he was off work, never answering work–related calls.

Jut Eliza knew his home address!

he had heard it while helping another client’s wife pick up medicine some time ago.

Without wasting any time, Eliza headed straight to Dr. Jensen’s house and brought him to the hotel where Gabe was staying.

When they arrived, Eliza was surprised to see that Calvin was already there.

le glanced at her as she entered, his gaze lingering for just a moment before quickly shifting away.

liza didn’t pay him any attention, focusing instead on Gabe’s injured foot.

I looked pretty serious–his ankle was swollen and deformed.

1. r. Jensen immediately began examining it.

Vith years of experience, he could tell the severity of the injury just by touch.

Thankfully, no bones are broken, just soft tissue damage, Ill ice it to reduce swelling and apply some plasters. Once the acute phase is over, we’ll do cupuncture. It should heal in three to five days,” Dr. Jensen concluded.

veryone let out a collective sigh of relief.

lize quickly asked a hotel staff member for ice and a towel, even though Dr. Jensen hadn’t given instructions yet.

Dr. Jensen, appreciating her quick thinking, glanced at her as he applied the ice. “I remember you’ve broken up with your ex, right?

diza was caught off guard by this sudden question.

Moreover, it was asked in front of Calvin

She felt a little uneasy but answered, “Yes,”

Are you still single?”

“Yeah, I’m single.”

“Then how about I introduce someone to you? Our hospital just hired a young and handsome medical doctor tram alread I think you we would make a gre match. Would you like to meet him?”

It seemed like elders liked to introduce people to younger ones.

“I’m really busy with work and don’t have the energy for a relationship. I’d rather not waste anyone’s time. Eliza spoke honestly.

he had several important projects in progress and was preparing for ASKHEART’s IPO. She simply didn’t have the time for a relationship.

Building a relationship is the man’s job. Women just need to be loved and not worry about it.”

Dr. Jensen was truly enthusiastic about matchmaking, practically selling this young man.

Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll send you his Facebook. You can chat online first, and if it goes well, you can meet in person. It’ll be less awkward that way. It’s a opular way these days.”

Dr. Jensen, when will we do acupuncture?” Calvin interjected suddenly.

1. r. Jensen paused for a moment before responding, “Usually, acupuncture can be done 30 hours after the injury. If the swelling hasn’t gone down, we’ll need to onsider acupuncture treatment.”

should we go to the hospital, then?” Calvin asked with obvious concern for Gabe’s injury.

1. r. Jensen said, “Either works. I usually don’t do house calls, but since you’re Eliza’s friends, I’ll make an exception.”

That might be a bit of an inconvenience for you.”

Not at all,” Dr. Jensen said cheerfully.

owever, with Calvin’s interruption, Dr. Jensen forgot to send Eliza the young man’s Facebook.

liza secretly sighed with relief.

fter the icing was done, Dr. Jensen applied two plasters to Gabe’s ankle.

Il take you back.”

vo need, I’ll take a cab. It’s more convenient for you not to run around,” Eliza said, taking the plasters from Dr. Jensen.

This is the same one you’ve used before. You know how to apply it. Please teach him,” Dr. Jensen added.

liza agreed.

s she took the plasters, Dr. Jensen’s hand brushed against hers. It felt cold, so he asked with concern, “How’s your health lately?”

Not bad.”

You’ve come all the way here, so let me check your pulse,”

efore Eliza could refuse, Dr. Jensen gently took her hand, not giving her a chance to resist.

is he took her pulse, he spoke, “It seems like you’ve been taking better care of your health. Your energy and blood are stronger than before.”

But relying on food therapy alone isn’t enough. You had a severe loss before. You need to use traditional medicine to balance your body.”

Jiza’s heart skipped a beat.

She almost forgot that Dr. Jensen knew about her miscarriaget

Her body tensed, and her eyes instinctively flicked toward Calvin

He was looking down at his phone, seemingly unaware of her discomfort

Or maybe he simply didn’t care about her health

That thought made Fliza relax a little.

Dr. Jensen, perhaps sensing the awkwardness of the altuation, didn’t press the issue. After all, it was a sensitive matter for a woman’s reputation

Chapter 219

“You should come to my office sometime. I’ll take a closer look and prescribe something for you.”

He then said seriously, “Don’t neglect it!”

“…Alright.”

Eliza agreed.

she was about to escort Dr. Jensen downstairs when Calvin offered to take her.

He asked Eliza to stay and teach Gabe how to use the plasters.

liza explained to Gabe how to apply the plasters.

ince it was a black plaster, it needed to be softened with hot water before applying.”

With his sprained ankle, Gabe couldn’t move much, so Eliza told him to sit still while she did the work.

Sorry for the trouble.”

Mr. Serrano, don’t be polite. We all rely on our friends when we’re out,” Eliza replied.

abe, who already liked Eliza, found her even more pleasant now.

hey chatted briefly, and he learned that she was working on a next–generation computing chip project with Byron. He was excited by the news.

Byron is highly capable. You have a great eye for talent, President Grant. This is a fantastic project. The future of tech development will depend on people like ou and your vision.”

liza didn’t take the credit. “It’s really more about Byron.”

ut Gabe disagreed.

Talent is common, but a true mentor is rare. It’s just like ASKHEART–if it weren’t for your sharp eye, President Grant, it might never have come to fruition, nd it could’ve lagged behind other countries.”

Don’t be so modest, President Grant. Good talent is important, but recognizing it is key. Otherwise, even the finest pearl can be buried in the dust.”

lince we’re on the topic, I have a bold request. I hope Mr. Serrano will consider it.”

liza hadn’t planned on asking just yet, but the conversation felt right, so she decided to bring it up.

he spoke seriously, I’d like to invite you, Mr. Serrano, to be our technical advisor. I hope you’ll consider this opportunity.”

alvin was gone for quite a while. By the time he returned. Eliza had finished applying the plasters and was preparing to leave

Calvin casually said goodbye to Gabe as well.

When they left, Eliza was waiting for the elevator

Calvin was also heading downstairs, so they naturally walked together

The elevator arrived quickly, and some construction workers were on that floot

They stepped aside to let the workers unload their goods.

The goods slid out of the elevator and collapsed toward the direction where Eliza and Calvin were standing

‘Watch out!”

alvin reacted quickly and pulled Eliza toward him.

s she lost her balance, he instinctively grabbed her waist to steady her.

iza staggered but managed to stand firm.

e next moment, she quickly pulled away from his hold, stepping back to keep her distance.

e lingering warmth of his touch made Calvin’s Adam’s apple move slightly.
