Chapter 247 Given Three Days to Consider
The Smith Villa.
Zoey came again.
Veda still thought Zoey was too kind.
"Grandpa is sick, and look, in the end, you're the one who came to visit him. Emily keeps saying she likes Daniel, but fine, Daniel is busy and has no time to visit Grandpa. But Emily, that useless waste, has all the time in the world and still hasn't come to take care of Grandpa."
Veda couldn't help but complain about Emily.
Of course, after that came another round of praise for Zoey.
Zoey smiled, "Maybe Daniel just didn't tell Emily. Daniel probably feels bad for her and is afraid she'll get tired.
I basically grew up under Mr. Smith's watch, too. As a younger generation member, knowing about Mr. Smith's health condition, naturally, I should come visit."
Veda nodded and said, "That proves something - it proves Daniel doesn't really plan to marry Emily, that's why he didn't tell her. Anyway, I'm convinced you're Daniel's wife. I'll talk to Grandpa later and have him praise you more to Daniel. Daniel will definitely see how good you are and realize you're the most suitable person for him!"
The more Veda thought about it, the more doable it seemed.
Zoey lowered her eyes shyly, hiding the ambition and scheming in them.
Veda just took this as her being shy.
She even thought to herself that no matter how excellent and gracious Zoey was, she would still show this shy expression because she liked Daniel.
Zoey came today not to hear Veda's useless compliments.
She found an excuse and said to Veda, "Veda, didn't you say last time you got some jewelry at an auction that you wanted to show me? Since I'm here today, why don't you go find it and show me? I want to go tell Mr. Smith right now that I've contacted the best doctor in the world. This is good news - maybe he'll be happy to hear it and his health will improve."
Veda didn't think much of it and nodded, "Then I'll go find it right away. You go tell Grandpa this good news quickly."
She didn't even notice Zach's look when Zoey said she wanted to see Mason.
Mason knew that when Zoey came, she would definitely find a chance to see him alone.
Sure enough, Veda was useless - with just a few words of sweet talk, she actually let Zoey come to his room alone.
As Zoey entered, she said to Zach, "Zach, please close the door. I have something important to tell Mr. Smith."
Zach was naturally worried and looked at Mason.
Mason knew that even if Zoey wanted to harm him, she probably wouldn't do it in front of Zach, especially since Veda was still home.
He nodded at Zach, "You can go out first."
Now, only Zoey and Mason were left in the room.
"Zoey, I think I've treated you well. Doing this to me, doesn't your conscience hurt at all?"
Mason looked at Zoey with undisguised disappointment.
Zoey's expression didn't change. She looked at Mason with a smile and said, "Mr. Smith, there's no point in saying these things anymore.
You know very well that Daniel and I grew up together. I always thought I would marry Daniel, but Daniel actually got together with Emily and won't marry me. I had no choice but to choose this way!"
Mason sighed softly, "Matters of the heart can't be forced. I can't control Daniel's heart either. I can only say you two have fate but no destiny. Even so, given your childhood bond, if you become Daniel's sister and find a good match later, no one will dare look down on you."
Zoey couldn't listen to these words at all. Her face darkened, "I don't want to hear this. Besides, Mr. Smith, why did you stop opposing them after meeting Emily? To put it bluntly, you don't really see me as a younger generation you watched grow up. Naturally, I have to plan for myself."
She changed her expression quickly, immediately breaking into a smile, "I came today to tell you good news. For your health, I've already found a good doctor. As long as you agree to my engagement with Daniel and announce it publicly, I'll immediately bring the person to treat you."
Mason knew this wasn't really about her getting a doctor for him.
Actually, he understood this was an indirect warning.
"This matter, I..."
"Mr. Smith, time waits for no one. Since they're a famous doctor, they don't have much time to wait for you to think it through. Three days - I'm only giving you three days to think it over."
Zoey issued her ultimatum.
Mason lowered his eyes, silent.
Zoey was about to say something more.
Footsteps could already be heard outside the door, sounding like Veda's.
Her voice also came from far to near.
"Zoey, are you done talking with Grandpa? Is he happy?"
Veda's tone was cheerful.
Mason's eyes flashed with helplessness and a bit of disappointment.
Veda had been spoiled, useless - she hadn't noticed Zoey's ambition at all, or anything strange about this situation, and was still on such good terms with her.
Zoey immediately changed her expression. She first said to Mason, "Mr. Smith, you should make your decision quickly. You'll suffer less, and Veda and I have such a good relationship - I don't want to hurt her either. Don't you agree?"
She was actually trying to use Veda to threaten Mason.
"Alright, I'll consider it soon."
Mason replied in a hoarse voice.
Zoey's smile became much more genuine.
If she'd known Mason cared about his descendants, she would have used this move directly.
She smiled and went to open the door.
Veda was already at the door. When it opened, she first smiled at Mason on the bed, "Grandpa, did Zoey tell you she found the world's top doctor for you? Your health will get better soon, and you'll be able to get out of bed and walk around. Then I'll go with you to walk in the garden and fish by the river, okay?"
Mason looked at the innocent Veda, and the words of reproach became even harder to say. He softened and replied, "Okay, but don't complain then that I'm old and you don't like playing with me."
"How could that be? Grandpa, don't underestimate me. You rest well first, I'll take Zoey to my room to chat."
Veda smiled mischievously, then hurriedly took Zoey's arm, "Zoey, let's go quickly!"
Zoey "politely" said goodbye to Mason before leaving with Veda.
Since her task was complete, Zoey didn't have much enthusiasm for looking at jewelry with Veda.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave the Smith Villa, "Veda, it's getting late, I..."
Before she could finish, she heard a car horn downstairs.
Veda had already excitedly come to the balcony. Seeing the car entering the yard, she said happily, "Zoey, I told you that you and Daniel are meant to be. It's Daniel's car; he's back, and he must be here to see Grandpa. Look!"
Hearing Veda's words, Zoey also hurriedly got up and came to the balcony, just in time to see the car door open.
She recognized Daniel's car too, and the love in her eyes couldn't be hidden; her smile was infatuated.
But the next moment, the smile froze on her face.
Because after Daniel got out of the car, he went to open the car door himself.
Then Emily was helped out of the car by him.
The two stood together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. In height and presence, they were surprisingly well-matched.
"Why is Emily here? Daniel really - if she comes, won't Grandpa be furious? Daniel really doesn't know how to handle things!"
