Chapter 94
Celine was totally baffled. A female apprentice?
She'd never taken on an apprentice before! The only person she ever wanted to mentor was Elizabeth, but Elizabeth was too rebellious and refused to learn medicine from her.
It really ticked her off.
"Nick, have you forgotten I don't take on apprentices?" Celine asked, looking stern.
Nick paused, suddenly remembering.
He glanced at Elizabeth.
"Hello, Mr. York," Elizabeth greeted with a smile, finally getting a chance to say hello.
Nick scrutinized Elizabeth. She looked a lot like the girl he saw earlier today.
'Could it be Elizabeth?' he thought.
Even though people said Elizabeth was a medical failure, he knew she was anything but simple.
However, that person's voice was noticeably rougher than Elizabeth's.
Thinking of this, Nick took out a few silver needles from his pocket and handed them to Celine. "Prof. Percy, do you know whose these are?"
Celine picked them up and examined them.
Elizabeth also looked at them, her face showing no recognition.
Nick watched Elizabeth's expression and saw no signs of surprise or recognition, which left him disappointed.
Could it really not be Elizabeth?
Celine was visibly shaken. "This is..."
Seeing Celine so shocked, Nick anxiously asked, "Prof. Percy, do you know something?"
Celine laughed heartily. "These are Emily's needles! She's very mysterious; I don't know her personally!"
Hearing this, Nick felt a bit dejected.
It seemed it really wasn't Elizabeth. If it were her how could the Percy family not know she had such great skills?
That person was really low-key. She did good deeds and left without a trace, making it impossible for him to find her!
If he could, he really wanted to have a good chat about medicine with that person; they would surely have a great conversation!
"Prof. Percy, it's late. I won't disturb you any longer," Nick said, standing up.
Since it wasn't someone from the Percy family, the lead was now cold. But he still had to keep searching!
"It's okay. Elizabeth will be reporting to the hospital in a few days; please take good care of her," Celine suddenly said.
"Don't worry, Prof. Percy. You rarely ask me for favors, so I'll make sure everything is arranged properly!" Nick replied earnestly.
"Good. Then I won't see you out!" Celine waved her hand.
Nick nodded and quickly left.
Grant yawned and muttered, "Weird. Why would he come to our house looking for someone?"
Only Celine, holding the silver needles on the table, slowly turned her gaze to Elizabeth.
The answer, of course, lay with Elizabeth.
As Elizabeth turned around, she noticed Celine staring intently at her. Feeling a bit guilty, Elizabeth awkwardly smiled at Celine and then quickly left.
Three days later.
"How about I go to the hospital with you to change your dressing? We don't want any scars; they can be hard to deal with later," Rose said, finishing her last sip of hot porridge and looking at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth shook her head, wiping her mouth. "No need, Mom. Joseph will go with me."
"Fine. I feel better with him accompanying you," Rose nodded with a smile.
The doorbell rang.
Elizabeth quickly got up and said to her family, "I'm heading to the hospital with Joseph. After that, I'll go straight to the cardiology department to report."
"Alright!" Celine was the most pleased. She rarely smiled, but today she was very happy.
Elizabeth felt helpless but thought, 'As long as Celine is happy, it's fine.'
Elizabeth jogged to the door and happily opened it, about to speak, but her expression froze when she saw who it was.
Why was it him?
