"Just friends," Adrian said.
"Dr. Mitchel has so many female students, and you aren’t that close to Sarah, are you?" Elijah joked. "Do you have a crush on Violette?"
Adrian felt his strong hostility.
"Can't Violette start a new relationship?" Adrian asked with a smile. "Mr. Bourne, you're with Sarah, has Violette ever said anything?"
Elijah replied coldly, "There's one thing I find strange. After Dr. Mitchel passed away, I asked you to find out who that student he mentioned was, but you only gave me a list. Why didn't you just tell me it was Sarah? Sarah said she knows you. You should know her too, right?"
Adrian suddenly felt that Elijah was a bit smart.
"Of course I know her. But she graduated years ago, and I can't say for sure how good her medical skills are now. So I gave you the list and let you find her yourself."
Elijah wasn't fooled by his answer.
"Didn't Dr. Mitchel ever mention her to you? Dr. Mitchel didn't dare to operate on Makayla, but he said he had a student who could. So Dr. Mitchel must be very satisfied with this student... There's no way he never mentioned such a talented student to you."
Adrian was at a loss for words. In his panic, he took a sip of water from his cup.
"Adrian, I think you deliberately didn't tell me," Elijah saw his guilty conscience. "Is it because of Violette that you deceived me?"
"It has nothing to do with Violette," Adrian explained immediately. "Dr. Mitchel didn't tell me everything. He never mentioned anything about the matter you entrusted to him. So I had no idea about what was going on between you two. I'm a cautious person by nature, even if I knew Sarah was amazing, I wouldn't dare to tell you 'she's the one you're looking for.'"
Elijah looked at him silently.
"Like how I like Violette, but I won't say it," Adrian confessed his feelings to increase credibility. "Because I know she only sees me as a big brother."
The coldness in Elijah's eyes disappeared in an instant.
"It's late, you should go back! She'll contact you guys when she wakes up," Elijah dismissed him.
