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!

“Well, it’s late. I won’t disturb you any longer,” Nick said, standing up.

“Prof. Percy,” Nick continued, “Since it wasn’t someone from the Percy family, the lead is 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.
