Chapter 914 The Pills
Elizabeth suddenly understood what Jsaid about Frank being very good-looking.
Seeing that Elizabeth was staring at him intently, Frank couldn’t help touching his face and asked curiously, “Is there something
on my face?”
Elizabeth regained her senses and looked away from him. She then replied casually, “I saw the photo on your desk. I was just
thinking that it is tough being a doctor. It makes people look tired and ugly. Please ignore me, it must be presumptuous ofto
have such a thought. You look just the sas you did before now that you change your clothes and brush your hair.” 5
Hearing that, Frank nodded silently. He then turned to Elizabeth and asked, “Do you usually praise others so emotionlessly? Did
Jtell you that you look scary when you were angry?”
Elizabeth replied in surprise, “When was I angry with you?”
“When you walked out of my office. I thought I said something that made you angry,” answered Frank as he recollected what
happened moments ago. Elizabeth’s face was just too straight and cold.
Elizabeth went silent and thought for a moment. She waved her hand as she explained, “I was born with a stony face and
because of this, no one dared to provokein the past. I wasn’t really angry with you just now. Please don’t mind me.”
“You look good when you smile. You should smile more often,” said Frank gently. “There’s a good French restaurant nearby. We
can eat there.”
Elizabeth wasn’t picky with her food. However, the restaurant that Frank recommended happened to be the sone she used
to go to with Jorge when they were passionately in love. She hadn’t been there for a long tsince their breakup.
Elizabeth looked absent-mindedly at the flashing signboard outside the restaurant.
“You don’t like it? We can go to another one,” proposed Frank. He deduced from her hesitation that she must have been here
before and didn’t like the food.
“No, here is fine. I used to chere a lot. I just couldn’t recognize it just now. Maybe it’s because they’ve renovated,” said
Elizabeth hurriedly. She then took the lead and walked into the restaurant while lowering her head and trying to hide her panic.
As soon as she sat down, a waitress cover with the menu in her hands. The waitress then greeted Elizabeth in surprise the
moment she saw her, “Miss Perry, good to see you again. You haven’t been here for a long time. Do you wantto arrange
your favorite spot for you and your boyfriend? The table is available tonight.”
The waitress thought that Elizabeth cwith Jorge as usual. However, she was surprised and embarrassed when she turned
her head to find that Elizabeth’s partner was a stranger.
It seemed that Elizabeth had broken up with Jorge and met a new guy. And honestly, this man was way more handsand
elegant than Jorge.
hand began to ache again.
It seemed that her hand would ache whenever there was mention of Jorge.
Elizabeth felt awkward with the waitress waiting by the table to take their order. She tried to remain natural and said casually,
“We would like two portions of today’s special, please.”
The waitress nodded and wrote their order down before leaving. After she left, Elizabeth immediately dug around her bag for her
pills.
The pain in her hand was unbearable. She took out a white medicine bottle from her bag and tried to open it. However, she
accidentally dropped the bottle as her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Frank reached out to pick up the bottle right when she was doing the same. She had not expected his help and their hands
accidentally touched.
“I’m sorry,” Elizabeth said instinctively. She averted her eyes away and withdrew her hand in a flash.
Frank picked up the bottle and was about to read the label when Elizabeth snatched it away.
“What’re the pills for?” asked Frank curiously.
Elizabeth kept her head down and muttered, “Nothing. It’s just vitamins.”
“What kind of vitamins do you take to stop your hands from shaking?” prodded Frank. While the label did indicate that the pills
were just regular vitamins, there must be something more to it given that she was acting so strangely.
As soon as Elizabeth opened the bottle, Frank snatched the bottle and took out a pill. He sniffed it and exclaimed in surprise,
“This is pethidine!”
Pethidine was a kind of painkiller.
He returned the bottle to Elizabeth and reminded her coldly, “You better tellwhy you need the pill. It won’t do you any good to
lie to your attending doctor.”
