บท 597: Struggles of a Longing Man (4)

My heart pounded loudly as I prayed that the people in the room would support me in my decision. 

However, not all things would go my way… that I understood really well. 

Uncle Cornelius was the first one to voice out his opinion as he expressed his concern, 

"Third Prince, I know you mean well… However, Eli's situation is something we cannot approach hastily."

"That is because Eli is deeply unstable and that she could not be left with someone who does not know how to handle patients like her…"

"Besides, as we have observed, Eli trusts no one, recognizes no one… and if one mishandled the situation then it would be to her harm than good."

Upon Uncle Cornelius's words, the other elders also took his side and agreed.
