Unrepairable Love

Chapter 317

“Potential? I wanna see if you really got it!” Amanda smirked, her interest piqued.

Elizabeth frowned, thinking, Is Amanda planning to watch me and then bump me up to Deputy Director?

“Ms. Carter, isn’t it a bit too soon?” Elizabeth shot back.

Amanda was caught off guard, about the deputy director, Elizabeth teased.

“Deputy Director? With your credentials, you’re miles away!” Amanda snapped.

Elizabeth burst out laughing.

Just then, the consultation room door swung open. Elizabeth was about to call for the files when she heard a familiar voice, “Ms. Carter, I’m here for a follow-up.”

Elizabeth looked up and saw it was Lily.

“Lily?” Elizabeth was surprised.

Lily was also taken aback. “Elizabeth, you’re here,”

Elizabeth nodded and asked, “Not feeling well?”

“Here for a follow-up,” Lily replied.

“By yourself?”

“They’re busy, so I came alone,” Lily said with a smile.

Elizabeth pulled up a chair for her and sighed, “Your family really let you come alone? It’s a pain running around for tests.”

“Will you come with me?” Lily looked up at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth sighed, “Lily, I’m working.”

Lily immediately looked at Amanda. Amanda was busy ordering tests when she felt a burning gaze on her. Elizabeth didn’t want to be disturbed or trouble Amanda, so she said, “Lily, I’m really working…”

“Elizabeth, you turned me down again!” Lily pouted, clearly upset. Last time, Lily had asked Elizabeth to go for afternoon tea, but Elizabeth had refused. This time, she asked Elizabeth to accompany her for a check-up, and Elizabeth refused again.

Elizabeth felt a bit awkward.

Amanda cleared her throat and said, “Go ahead. It’s a hassle to be alone.”

“Thank you, Ms. Carter!” Lily beamed.

Helpless, Elizabeth had no choice but to comply. Amanda called Laura down, and Elizabeth accompanied Lily for her check-up.

Lily, in her seventies, was very healthy except for her heart condition. Lily always had an elegant vibe. Unlike Celine, who always seemed serious and decisive, Lily was all kindness.

“Lily, sit here. I’ll go pay the bill,” Elizabeth said, helping Lily. Elizabeth was busy running around, and Lily noticed everything.

Lily thought, What a good girl! It’s a shame Alexander doesn’t appreciate her and lets such a good wife go.

“Elizabeth, while we wait for the results at noon, why don’t you come home with me for lunch?” Lily held Elizabeth’s hand and said, “I’ll cook for you.”

“Lily, I grab lunch at noon. After your check-up, head home. I’ll have your results by the afternoon. I’ll update you if needed. If not, no need for back and forth.” Elizabeth said as she accompanied Lily to get her blood drawn.

Lily sighed, “Elizabeth, are you pushing me away?”

“Lily, no,” Elizabeth said helplessly.

“But I feel like we’re growing distant,” Lily said unhappily, “We used to do facials, go shopping, watch movies together, and you even bought me ice cream.”

“Lily, let’s get the blood drawn first,” Elizabeth reminded. But Lily was unwilling; she sat in the chair and didn’t move. Lily looked pitifully at Elizabeth; she just wanted Elizabeth to go home with her for lunch.

Elizabeth sighed, unable to refuse. “Alright, Lily, I’ll go home with you for lunch, okay? Can we get the blood drawn now?”

Lily smiled and immediately cooperated with Elizabeth for the check-up.
