Chapter 649

Elizabeth paused, holding the cup. Then she sighed. “So many things to handle; I have to take them one step at a time. With my grandmother in this condition, if I don’t take over her research institute, she won’t be able to rest and recover properly. As for work, well, my dad is still in good health.”

“Last night, I saw Celine’s arm couldn’t move, and I felt so sad. She’s usually such a strong person; how can she bear having her arm disabled?” Lila said, feeling heartbroken.

Elizabeth felt even more heartbroken for Celine. Her sorrow wasn’t just about Celine losing sensation in her arm. She was heartbroken because, from the incident until now, Celine had only cried once on the first night and hadn’t shed a tear since! Celine acted as if nothing had happened, whose calmness was frightening. Elizabeth knew she was a very strong person, but was she really this strong? Or was it that Celine’s emotions were being slowly processed by others, and she just didn’t want to show them?

Elizabeth didn’t dare to think about it. She could only try harder to manage Celine’s research institute well.

“Lila, I can’t do it,” she said to Lila. Elizabeth needed to do something for her family, for society, and for herself. Lila held her hand, feeling sorry for her. The happier Elizabeth’s first twenty years were, the harder the next would be. Elizabeth could have become an excellent doctor, had a happy family with Alexander.

Lila felt it was unfair for Elizabeth.

“Lila, have you ever thought about dating?” Elizabeth suddenly asked Lila.

Lila immediately shook her head. “Even though my career is stable, there are still many people watching me. How dare I date?” She was clear that her career was more important than anything.

“What if it’s someone with social status? He can make money and make you happy. Would you consider dating then?” Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, speaking deliberately.

Lila looked up. “Social status? They’re all old and ugly men who just want to sleep with me. I’m not interested.”

“For example, someone a bit handsome and a bit young?” Elizabeth’s gaze silently fell on Kieran. Kieran was catching up with someone, and he looked quite serious when he was engrossed.

“Do you think such a person exists in this world?” Lila decisively looked at Elizabeth.

Someone with social status, a bit handsome and young, who could make Lila happy. Lila thought such a man only existed in her scripts or fairy tales. Elizabeth raised her chin, and thought Kieran and Ivan both fit the bill.

“Are you talking about Kieran?” Lila finally caught on.

Elizabeth said, “I’m just giving an example. If it were someone like Kieran, would you consider dating?”

“I wouldn’t like Kieran.” Lila decisively nipped Elizabeth’s idea in the bud. Lila had known Elizabeth for so many years. Didn’t she know what Elizabeth was thinking? “Elizabeth, I advise you not to have any wild ideas!”
