After Morgan headed upstairs, Elaine turned to her back and found that Vincent was standing behind her. Although she didn't know how long he had been standing there, his eyes were staring at her deeply.
In fact, Elaine was slightly embarrassed.
"Come here."
A moment later, Vincent waved his hand at her and told her to go over.
Hesitantly, she walked over to him.
Then, Vincent lowered his head to look at her with a slightly deep gaze and suddenly asked, "Do you want to attend university?"
Never did Elaine expect that he would suddenly say such a sentence. For a moment, she was stunned before she said, "Dr. Perkins, what do you mean?"
Straightforwardly, he answered, "I meant what I've just said."
Slightly confused, she asked, "Am I not allowed to work at your place if my education background is not good enough?"
Immediately, Vincent knocked on her head and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? It's not that I dislike you. I'm just asking if you're interested in studying because it would be a pity of you for not furthering your studies when you have the potential."
For a short moment, Elaine was distracted by his bright smile. "I... I don't have any potential. It was just that I happened to know those paintings."
"And you say that you don't have the potential?" With a sneer, Vincent uttered, "There are people who had spent their whole life trying to be as good as you. Don't belittle yourself. This is your talent. Even Morgan praised you for being extraordinary."
In fact, it was due to her family's poor condition that she couldn't further her studies after graduating from high school.
However, if Elaine hadn't insisted on attending high school, her parents probably wouldn't even have allowed her to attend high school.
Later, when her sister went to college, her family became even short of money. It was to the point where her family really couldn't afford her sister's tuition fees, and her mother burst into tears in front of her, saying that the only way to afford the tuition fee was to sell off her own organs...
How could Elaine even let her parents do such a thing that would harm their health? Hence, she agreed to work and gave up on her studies.
But now that Dr. Perkins suddenly asked her if she wanted to go to school, of course, she would want to. But she is already a grown woman, and no university would accept her.
So Elaine shook her head and said, "No, I am fine now. If I chose to further my studies, then I will not be able to send money back to my family, and it will affect my brother's studies."
Displeased, Vincent frowned and said, "You don't have to think about them. Just think about what you want."
At that moment, Elaine was stunned.
Suddenly, she remembered something else. "Dr. Perkins, what is the time now?"
Slowly, Vincent raised his wrist and looked at the time. "It's almost one o'clock. What's the matter?"
"Oh my. It's so late already?" Anxiously, Elaine answered, "I'm sorry, but I have to go to the hospital now. Yesterday, I made an appointment with Paul, and I told him that I would meet him at the hospital by noon. If he can't find me, he will be worried."
Since she didn't have a phone, there was no way Paul could get in touch with her either.
In fact, Elaine even had to use Paul's phone to call Ariah and ask her to come to the hospital the day
before.
However, Vincent took her hand and said, "Let him wait. Go and have lunch first."
How could she even be in the mood to eat? "No, I have to go to the hospital first..."
"I said, have your lunch first!" As Vincent interrupted her, he glared at her, and there was no doubt in his eyes. At a loss for words, Elaine had no choice but to obey.
During lunch, Elaine gobbled up her food at a rapid speed.
Meanwhile, Dr. Perkins was eating slowly and elegantly.
In a hurry, she urged, "Dr. Perkins, hurry up."
But Vincent ignored her.
As soon as Elaine finished her last bite, she wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Dr. Perkins, take your time. I'll make a move first."
After that, she got up and left without waiting for his reply.
"How are you going to get to the hospital without a car?" Calmly, Vincent's voice sounded behind her.
Stunned, Elaine thought for a moment, then turned to him and pleaded, "Dr. Perkins, please drive me to the city. If you don't have the time, can you at least tell me where is the nearest bus station here? I don't mind taking the bus." "There is no bus station here. Don't even think about it."
Worriedly, she sat back down and asked, "What should I do then?"
