In the following time,
the two chatted.
Shortly,
the dishes Elinda ordered along with a bottle of red wine were served.
Although this was a Michelin restaurant, Lionel felt that while the food was exquisitely prepared, the taste was just mediocre.
An hour later, the two finished dinner.
Elinda said, "Lionel, don't stay at the hotel these next few days, come to my house instead."
"To your house?"
Lionel gave an awkward smile, "Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
Elinda smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just me at home."
"Your parents?"
Lionel asked curiously.
Elinda's eyes dimmed, "My parents passed away when I was very young."
Lionel looked shocked and said, "They passed away? How did they die?"
"They died of illness."
Elinda sighed and then said, "That's why, at that time, I made up my mind to become the best doctor in the world.
I want to cure all the people in the world who are tormented by illness, so that my tragedy will not happen again.
