The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 69

The next morning, Calvin arrived at the hospital bright and early.

He took his time inspecting every corner of the room before finally letting his gaze settle on Raymond, who was lying in bed. "Where's my niece?"

"She's at school," Raymond replied, eyes glued to his laptop screen, not sparing Calvin even a glance.

Calvin didn't seem bothered by the cold reception and ventured with a hint of hope, "She's got real talent. Has she ever considered going into medicine?"

Raymond glanced up, immediately seeing through Calvin's intentions.

Back home, Calvin had plenty of connections in the medical field. His mentor was none other than Professor Oliver, the most renowned medical expert in the country.

Both Calvin and Professor Oliver were known for spotting and nurturing talent. Calvin secretly hoped that Citrine might one day apprentice under Professor Oliver.

After all, with a name like that behind her, Citrine would have a limitless future in medicine.

Raymond paused his typing, though he didn't answer right away. Thinking of Citrine's independent streak, he finally said, "That's up to her. Whatever she decides to pursue is her own choice. I won't interfere."

Hearing this, Calvin dropped the subject.

That afternoon, after school, someone approached Citrine and handed her a note. The message invited her to meet at a restaurant just outside the school's east gate.

Curiosity piqued, Citrine turned the note over in her hand before deciding to go.

Meanwhile, in a private dining room at the designated restaurant, the entire Iverson family had already gathered.

"Are you sure Citrine's going to come?" Sawyer asked impatiently, recalling how Citrine had blocked his number and deleted him from all her contacts.

"Relax, Dad," Clifford reassured him, looking confident—though Sawyer failed to notice the guilt flickering in his son's eyes.
