Before. Eliza hadn’t understood why Calvin repeatedly asked her to look after trayson.

The first time Calvin entrusted her with Grayson’s care was the night before his engagement to Medea

At that time, Eliza thought he was just worried that Grayson wouldn’t accept his engagement with Medes and warded her to kee Grayson.

She even felt sorry for Grayson–raising a son who wanted love instead of family.

The second time Calvin asked her, she had doubts.

She even called Grayson to confirm.

Grayson had explained that he had the flu, but it wasn’t serious, so she didn’t think much of it.

Who would think it would be anything else?

She had spent seven years with Calvin and thought she knew him well.

She never expected him to end up in this situation.

It was only at this moment that Eliza realized something didn’t add up.

Could it be that even before Calvin decided to get engaged to Medea, he already knew something, which is why he kept entrusting Grayson to

her?

But if he had predicted that something would happen to him, why did he persist so stubbornly?

What was the truth? Eliza couldn’t know.

After all, she couldn’t even see Calvin right now to ask him directly.

Eliza checked in with the company’s legal team about the situation.

They told her very clearly that if the detained person explicitly refuses to be visited, usually, the visit cannot happen.

Eliza didn’t have high hopes, but she still applied for the visit and clearly asked the police to relay her request to see Calvin.

But the police replied that it wasn’t allowed.

Eliza felt a headache coming on.

The next day, she still made time to visit Grayson.

She was mostly concerned that if the news about Calvin being arrested reached Grayson, he might not be able to handle it.

Fortunately, Grayson was still calm.

He likely didn’t know about the situation yet.

But this remained a hidden danger. Sooner or later, he would find out.

She wanted to see Calvin as well, to ask him what his plan was.

Just as she was feeling helpless, Gideon came to the hospital to visit Grayson.

Gideon had always been close to Calvin, so he might know something.

Even if he didn’t know, perhaps he could meet with Calvin and ask him.

Eliza took the opportunity while Grayson was undergoing rehabilitation to ask Gideon about Calvín.

But to her surprise, Gideon also didn’t know anything.

She even asked him to visit Calvin on her behalf.

Gideon was more troubled than ever, “I’ve already been, but Calvin wouldn’t see me. I’ve gone multiple times.”

As Eliza was pondering, the man politely asked again, “Miss Grant, are you facing any difficult problems? Wa

Eliza replied, “No, thank you.”

She hung up, still feeling lost.

The only silver lining was that Calvin’s arrest and investigation were being kept secret because of his involvement with the influential fig Not many people knew.

Grayson had retired for many years and had almost no contact with the outside world.

With just a slight disturbance, he should be unaware.

She thought they could keep this hidden for as long as possible.

While she was thinking this over, Nancy returned with the test report, looking worried.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the test results?” Eliza felt a sudden pang in her chest.

Nancy quickly shook her head, “No, no. Mr. Young’s test results are the same as before, with only small changes. Everything is within the manageable range,”

“Then why do you look so worried?”

Nancy pulled Eliza aside, asking, “How has your mother been recently?”

Nancy wouldn’t ask about Eliza’s mother, Ottilie, without a reason.

Eliza’s heart skipped a beat, “Why do you ask?”

“When I went to pick up the test report just now, I think I saw your mother. She looked really distressed, sitting in a corner by herself…”

Before Nancy could finish her sentence, Eliza anxiously asked, “Where did you see her?”

“In the basement floor, in the laboratory.”

Eliza immediately rushed to the basement laboratory, following Nancy’s directions.

There, she found Ottilie crouching in a corner, drenched in sweat from the pain.

“Mom!” Eliza rushed over to help her up.

At that moment, Ottilie’s face was pale, devoid of any color.

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, dampening the few strands of hair that hung over her face.

She looked extremely pained, but when she saw Eliza, she tried to force a smile,

“Eliza… Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?”

She was in so much pain that she could barely speak, yet her thoughts were still focused on Eliza.

Eliza, fighting back tears, helped her to a nearby chair. “What’s wrong? Where does it hurt? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I flave, don’t worry.”

But her words, paired with her current pale face and the way she was reacting, were unconvincing
