Chapter 242
dedea had entertained this notion long before.
‘specially when Eliza went to Everup to discuss cooperation and noticed that Calvin was paying attention to Eliza’s progress
te was even willing to assist in the listing of ASKHEART.
Now that Regina brought it up, the mother and daughter found themselves on the same page.
Medea asked Regina, “When will Dad return to Washington?”
Next week.”
I remember Dad has a good relationship with Uncle Wolf from the Municipal Supervision Bureau. Ask him to have a word with Unde Wolf. Medea said.
tegina had already considered this. “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange all that. Right now, you have more important matters to attend to.”
Everyone is discussing whether Eliza can break the fastest listing record previously set by Calvin. If you can break that record even sooner than Eliza, everyone vill view you in a new light, including Grayson.”
If you succeed, it will be a remarkable comeback–a stunning overtaking from behind.”
Over the weekend, Eliza stayed at the hospital to accompany Ottilie for her follow–up examination.
here were many items in the follow–up, including a painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.
his examination required an appointment, which Eliza had instructed Sadie to schedule a month in advance.
However, the nurse from the VIP ward mentioned that even without an appointment, they could still undergo the painless procedure.
After all, as a special case ward, all examinations could be fast–tracked through exclusive channels.
t was indeed quite convenient, prompting Eliza to consider securing a VIP room at the hospital in the future.
¡iven Ottilie’s consistently poor health, such a need was justified.
fter the gastrointestinal endoscopy, Eliza wheeled Ottilie back to the ward but found their path blocked by a crowd gathered in the corridor.
he nurse went to check and returned to inform Eliza, “There’s a patient causing a disturbance, seemingly over queue–jumping issues. The hospital has already ent staff to mediate. We’ll need to wait a couple of minutes.”
ince the examination was already completed, Eliza didn’t mind waiting a few minutes.
he hospital handled the situation efficiently; in less than two minutes, the onlookers were dispersed.
mong the crowd, Eliza spotted Medea and her mother, both looking furious.
he two, who usually appeared poised and elegant, now had disheveled hair, and their designer clothes were torn and messy.
Medea, in particular, was in a sorry state.
he hem of her skirt was ripped, exposing her upper thighs.
‘ortunately, she used her handbag to cover herself, avoiding further embarrassment.
tegina was arguing with the hospital staff, claiming the other party had thrown the first punch.
The accused party retorted angrily. “Weren’t you the ones who jumped the queue without any manners? We’ve been waiting in line since early morning, and as
oon as you arrived, you claimed your son–in–law was the hospital owner and demanded to be served first. What gives you the right?”

Others in the crowd chimed in, criticizing Regina for queue jumping
The staff member, feeling overwhelmed, finally managed to calm the crowd and explained to Regina, “This area requires paring pamping the parse is indeed likely to cause conflicts.”
Just as Regina was about to argue further, Medea noticed Eliza.
ter expression instantly turned cold, and recalling her current disheveled state, her face stiffened slightly.
the pulled Regina away, not wanting Eliza to see her in such a state. “Mom, let’s go back now.”
tegina also noticed Eliza and looked annoyed.
she didn’t continue the argument and followed Medea back to their ward.
shortly after they returned, Beatrice arrived.
Seeing the state of the mother and daughter, she was taken aback. “What happened? Why are you both in such a mess?”
‘Ran into some ill–mannered people,” Regina replied tersely, unwilling to elaborate.
Sensing their mood, Beatrice didn’t press further.
After glancing around the room, she frowned and asked, “Why are you in a standard ward? Didn’t your nephew–in–law arrange a VIP room for you?”
Her question hit a sore spot for both mother and daughter.
Their expressions darkened immediately.
A nurse knocked on the door and asked if they ad undergone the gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Medea replied that they hadn’t.
The nurse urged, “Please go and get it done as soon as possible. The doctor needs the examination results.”
Regina asked the nurse, “Can’t you schedule a painless procedure for us?”
She had a psychological aversion to gastrointestinal endoscopies.
The nurse looked apologetic. “The painless procedure requires an advance appointment. Since you didn’t book one, you can only undergo the standard procedure.”
Beatrice turned to Medea. “Didn’t you make an appointment?”
Medea’s expression stiffened before she shook her head, admitting she hadn’t.
How could she have thought of that?
Previously, whether it was Regina’s hospitalization or her own, Calvin had handled all the arrangements.
Moreover, they had stayed in VIP wards with special treatment throughout, so no appointments were ever necessary.
Beatrice frowned. “If it’s not the painless procedure, it will be quite an ordeal. Why don’t you give your nephew–in–law a call and ask him to arrange it quickly? Since he has investments in this hospital, it should be just a word from him.”
Regina agreed, “Yes, give Calv a call and explain. I really don’t want to undergo the standard gastrointestinal endoscopy.”
Reluctantly, Medea called Calvin.
However, no one answered.
“He’s probably busy,” Medea told the two.
And wouldn’t ignore Medea’s call unless he was occupied and not checking his phone.
Chapter 242
Medea thought the same.
What should we do then? Should we wait until Calv is free?” Beatrice asked hesitantly.
Never mind, let’s just get it over with. We shouldn’t bother Caly with every little thing.” Regina decided, thinking from a broader perspective.
After all, they aren’t formally married yet, and Medea hasn’t been making much progress. If we trouble him with such minor issues, it might leave a bar mpression.”
esides, Grayson was also staying in this hospital.
f word reached him, it would be even harder for Medea to get closer to him.
onsidering this, Medea didn’t insist on calling Calvin again. She changed clothes and took Regina for the gastrointestinal endoscopy.
he queue was long, and they waited for quite a while.
y the time they finished, Eliza had already returned to collect Ottilie’s examination results.
legina was leaning over a trash can, vomiting repeatedly, her face deathly pale.
Medea patted her back to soothe her, while Beatrice handed her tissues.
elle came to find Eliza for a meal and, spotting her, waved and called out, “Eliza, over here!”
Ier voice caught the attention of Medea and Beatrice.
Beatrice had met Eliza before and, having heard from Regina about the VIP ward incident, held a strong grudge against her.
eeing her sister–in–law in such a miserable stat, Beatrice felt compelled to stand up for her.
he deliberately raised her voice, taunting Eliza, “How shameless can one be! Even after being dumped, she still clings to Grayson, deliberately throwing herself a front of the Young family. Her intentions are all too obvious!”
liza, focused on the examination report, didn’t notice Beatrice’s sarcastic remarks.
ut Belle heard them!
he would never allow anyone to speak ill of Eliza in her presence!
