Chapter 914 The Pills


    Elizabeth suddenly understood what J said 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 of me to have such a thought. You look just the


    same as you did before now that you change your clothes and brush your hair."


    Hearing that, Frank nodded silently. He then turned to Elizabeth and asked, "Do you usually praise


    others so emotionlessly? Did J tell 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 exined, "I was born


    with a stony face and because of this, no one dared to provoke me in the past. I wasn''t really angry


    with you just now. Please don''t mind me."


    Looking at her wry smile, Frank couldn''t help smiling. "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 rmended happened to


    be the same one she used to go to with Jorge when they were passionately in love. She hadn''t


    been there for a long time since their breakup.


    Elizabeth looked absent-mindedly at the shing 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 toe here 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 came over 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 want me to arrange your favorite spot for you and your


    boyfriend? The table is avable tonight."


    The waitress thought that Elizabeth came with 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 handsome and elegant than Jorge.


    "It''s okay. We''re fine here," Elizabeth thanked the waitress for her consideration. She started flipping


    through the menu when her 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 identally dropped the bottle as her hands were shaking uncontrobly.


    Frank reached out to pick up the bottle right when she was doing the same. She had not expected


    his help and their hands identally touched.


    "I''m sorry," Elizabeth said instinctively. She averted her eyes away and withdrew her hand in a sh.


    Frank picked up the bottle and was about to read thebel 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 regr 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 eximed in surprise, "This is pethidine!"


    Pethidine was a kind of painkiller.


    He returned the bottle to Elizabeth and reminded her coldly, "You better tell me why you need the


    pill. It won''t do you any good to lie to your attending doctor."
