Love Comes To Me
Chapter 850: You are her daughter?

For the next two days, Maryam was in intensive care and Eloise became increasingly worried.

Despite the fact that Hector and Hector's mother and Hector's father often comforted her, her heart, nevertheless, hung in her throat.

Little by little, time passed and Maryam's condition never improved.

On this day, Eloise has just come out of the office after seeing her doctor about Maryam's current condition, and she runs into Edgar, dressed in a high-fashion suit. "Cousin?"

Eloise called out to him and smiled politely, "What brings you here?"

Only then did Edgar see her, stopping in his tracks and smiling warmly, "Grandpa wants to see you in advance, do you have time today?"

At that, Eloise froze slightly, "There was time, but, I didn't have time to prepare anything."

She had originally planned to pick it out the day before the birthday banquet, but she had never expected that Master Khan would suddenly ask to see her.

It's true that plans can't catch up with change.

Edgar smiled lightly, very understanding, "I've prepared it for you, you just need the person to arrive."

"That won't work."

Eloise immediately refused and laughed, "I'm going to see Grandpa, how can I ask my cousin to prepare for me? How about this, I don't know Grandpa's preferences, why don't cousin help me pick one out together?" Although Master Khan's decision was somewhat abrupt, Eloise didn't feel it was appropriate to go empty-handed, or with the gift that Edgar had prepared.

After all, she and Edgar, too, did not know each other well yet.

"Sure."

When Edgar saw her insistence, he agreed.

Eloise and Edgar went to a nearby shopping centre together and, at Fang's suggestion, she picked out a string of Buddhist beads as a gift. Eloise hesitantly asked as she sat in the passenger seat with the packed presents in her hands, "Cousin, is Grandpa usually more serious?" It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous.

Granted, Eloise hadn't seen her as a grandfather since she was a child.

From what Edgar had said earlier, Eloise had conjured up the image of a very serious old man.

Edgar could see her concern at a glance and said soothingly, "Eloise, don't worry, you're such a good boy, grandpa will love you."

With that, Edgar stepped on the accelerator and drove to the place that Master Khan had booked in advance.

It is in a classically styled restaurant.

Edgar parked his car and was led by the waiter to walk with Eloise to the entrance of a private room.

He took the door handle in his hand and said very sweetly before pushing it open, "Eloise, don't be nervous."

Eloise squeezed the gift bag in her hand and subconsciously took a deep breath before nodding.

Edgar pushes open the door and walks into the box, followed by Eloise.

An old man in a Zhongshan suit sat upright in the middle of the box.

The old man is full of white hair and is not in particularly good spirits.

Eloise was a little surprised to see the old man.

Her grandfather was amiable-looking, which was not at all what she had expected.

But when she met the eyes of the old man looking up, those very powerful eyes made Eloise feel a little nervous again.

It has the feel of a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to be reprimanded by a serious parent. "Grandpa, Eloise is here."

Edgar walked up to Master Khan and said with a slight bend of respect.

Master Khan withdrew his gaze from surveying Eloise.

He did not give a good face because the other man was the offspring of his most beloved daughter.

On the contrary, there was some obvious dislike for her.

"You're her daughter?"

Master Khan's voice was thick and mid-range, not at all like someone who was physically frail.

Eloise bowed slightly towards Master Khan and nodded, "Yes, hello Grandpa, my name is Eloise."

It was not clear if Eloise had said something wrong, but Master Khan's face sank abruptly.

The atmosphere in the box became somewhat depressing in an instant.

Master Khan stared at Eloise for half a second, his face eased for a few moments and he slowly said, "You're a good boy, but you're quite good."

Eloise let out a soft sigh of relief, who was surprised to see a few more expressions of disgust on Master Khan's face, "It's just not perfect to have half of that boy's blood flowing in your body." Eloise was a little embarrassed by the comment.

I didn't expect to see my grandfather for the first time, but this grandfather is so straight-talking.

Edgar was also a little stunned, and looked at Master Khan with amusement and helplessness.

But that was, well, awkward indeed.

The atmosphere froze a little because of these words.

Edgar, who was sitting next to Master Khan, gave a wink to Eloise.

Eloise read Edgar's meaning, and she hurriedly took out the delicate little gift box and handed it to Elder Fang, "Grandpa, this is a meeting gift for you, a little token of appreciation, I hope you don't mind." As the saying goes, reach out and don't smile.

Eloise is so well behaved and polite.

Even if Master Khan was upset, he could no longer put on a face.

What's more, Eloise was the offspring of his most beloved daughter.

"Well, have a heart."

Master Khan took the gift box and set it aside.

A few simple words made the air sullen again, and Eloise could neither stand nor sit.

It was unlikely that Master Khan, who was stubborn, would be expected to speak up first.

After all these years, he's still angry inside.

A living example of the old codger.

Edgar couldn't help himself, worried about Eloise's embarrassment, so he had to smile and round up the situation, "Eloise, don't mind Grandpa's attitude."

Master Khan gave a very arrogant cold snort and then turned his head away.

Edgar smiled helplessly and gestured for Eloise to sit down before adding, "The old man was very angry with your father for taking your aunt to elope in the first place.

The old man had been telling your aunt at the time that your father was no good. As a result, Auntie broke off contact with her family for your father, and this time, she was gone for so long." Edgar tried hard to liven up the atmosphere, bringing up again what he had said only two days before.
