After hanging up, Daniel shook off his previous disappointment, put on his shoes, ran downstairs, and found the butler, "lI need to
go to the hospital, to see Grandpa. Mom has a message for him."
The butler, upon hearing the lady of the house had called, made no delay.
Together, they rushed to the hospital.
Yuri's health had been poor, requiring a week's stay in the hospital, but after scare, he was much better.
Daniel went straight to his bedside, "Grandpa, Mom toldto tell you she's doing well and to take care of yourself."
Yuri was taken aback, "Your mom called you?"
"Yes."
Daniel, holding Yuri's hand, his eyes sincere, relayed, "Mom said she would be back soon."
Yuri sighed in relief, understanding that Eltham hadn't harmed Brittany, else she wouldn't be allowed to call.
"Alright, Grandpa will take good care to recover."
After the call, Eltham took the phone, turned it off, then offered, "Have smore soup."
"My dad's been hospitalized, why didn't you tellsooner?"
She had been cut off from the outside news.
"Mr. Lte is recovering well," Eltham replied calmly. "Don't worry, if Mr. Lte's condition was serious, | wouldn't keep you
here."
"Shut up, don't you curse my dad!"
Brittany was somewhat angry, "l want to see my dad!"
Eltham's lips tightened, his gaze dark, "Bri, you've already made your request."
"Well, I'm making it again."
Brittany stood her ground, "He's one of the only family | have left. If anything happens to him, I'll never ive myself, and |
certainly won't have anything to do with you. Are you sure you won't letsee him?"

After eating well, Brittany returned to her room, while Eltham sat in the dining room, leisurely enjoying his soup.
Initially, Brittany tried everything to escape, but with tight security, she couldn't even get a message out, let alone a fly!
She thought it over and eventually gave up on sending messages.
After three long days, the press conference day finally arrived. A servant brought her a light grey dress with a matching coat,
making her look delicate and fresh.
Going downstairs, Brittany realized Eltham was also in grey, their outfits unintentionally matching like a couple's.
Brittany instinctively wanted to change, but Eltham stopped her.
He clearly liked it, "You look great."
Brittany felt suddenly drained, "Let's go."
As they got into the car, Eltham kept his gaze on Brittany.
Brittany, with light makeup, looked refined and lovely. Despite being pregnant, she was still slender and smiling, like a serene
spring.
No wonder Isaac was so deeply smitten.
She indeed had the charm.
