"Cause you're my mom in the eyes of the law, I'll give you a day to think about it," Violette said coldly before walking out of the cafe.
Banquet hall.
Elijah and Adrian had a few drinks, and were both a bit tipsy.
"Adrian, I heard that Dr. Mitchel had another disciple before he died." Elijah poured Adrian some wine and casually asked the question.
Adrian looked at Elijah with red cheeks, "Mr. Bourne, who told you that?"
Elijah raised his glass and clinked it with Adrian's, "Adrian, just tell me if it's true or not."
Adrian took a sip of wine, hesitantly, "Sorry, I can't reveal any personal information about Dr. Mitchel."
"Dr. Mitchel is dead. Besides, it's not a bad thing."
"What if that person doesn't want their identity to be known?" Adrian replied.
Elijah, "So, Dr. Mitchel did have a disciple."
Adrian saying 'that person' could only be referring to the mysterious man, right?
Adrian raised his glass again and took another sip of wine.
"Adrian, that disciple of Dr. Mitchel's, it's you, isn't it?" Elijah voiced his suspicion.
Adrian instantly spat out the wine in his mouth.
Elijah handed him a box of tissues.
"Thanks." Adrian wiped his mouth with a tissue, blushing, and explained, "Mr. Bourne, I'm just Dr. Mitchel's assistant. Even though I study medicine too, I'm not worthy to be his student. That's why he made me his assistant."
"Is that so?" Elijah looked into his eyes, trying to discern the truth.
"Of course! Besides, didn't you already find Sarah Warren?" Adrian changed the subject, "She's pretty amazing."
"She is, but I want more options," Elijah said solemnly, "I heard Dr. Mitchel's disciple is a middle-aged man. I've sent a lot of people to find him, but after two months, there were still no clues."
That was why Elijah invited Adrian to drink tonight.
"Mr. Bourne, in your eyes, I'm already a middle-aged man." Adrian said with mixed emotions.
