Chapter 448: Never Embarrass Myself
As they spoke, the car had already arrived at the restaurant entrance.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Harold parked the car, and the two of them entered the restaurant together, sitting by the window.
Harold had made a reservation in advance, so as soon as they sat down, the dishes were promptly served.
While eating, they began to discuss the Hargraves family’s free clinic.
“The news about the Hargraves family’s free clinic is usually spread within a small circle. How did you find out about it?” Harold couldn’t help but ask.
Olivia had nothing to hide. “I didn’t know about it initially. I was already preparing to go abroad. But a few days ago, when I went to Whitaker’s Estate to express my gratitude, Liam suddenly mentioned it to me. That’s when I decided to stay in the country a bit longer.”
Hearing that, Harold frowned slightly. “Going abroad?”
Olivia smiled noncommittally. “As you can see, because of my presence, the research institute has been targeted by Leer’s Group. Rather than staying in the country and causing trouble for the institute, it’s better for me to go abroad. I can’t afford to provoke Leer’s Group, but I can certainly avoid them.”
Harold sighed silently, feeling unfair for Olivia.
“But now that I know about the Hargraves family’s free clinic, even if Mrs. Leer wants to drive me away, I won’t leave.” Olivia smiled nonchalantly.
Harold gave her a helpless look, seeing only her anticipation for the free clinic on her face. He decided not to bring up Lily’s matter to spoil her mood.
“I called you out today also for this matter,” Harold said gently. “The Hargraves family’s free clinic always collaborates with doctors from society. Are you interested? If you are, you can contact Mr. Lee now. If he recommends you to the Hargraves family, you will definitely be able to participate. I also have a spot from the Ramos family, so we can join together.”
Olivia’s eyes brightened. “Are you going to participate too?”
She was worried about feeling awkward at the event, but if Harold was with her, that problem would be solved.
Harold raised an eyebrow slightly. “Too? You already decided to participate?”
Olivia nodded with a smile. “Liam told me that the Hargraves family would be holding a free clinic and said he would recommend me to them. I’ve been preparing for it these past few days, just in case something goes wrong and I embarrass Liam and my mentor.”
“With your skills, as long as you perform normally, you will never embarrass yourself,” Harold assured.
Hearing this, Olivia smiled modestly.
Harold continued, “That’s good then. Since you have Liam’s recommendation, there’s no need to trouble Mr. Lee. Although Mr. Lee’s spot was also prepared for you.”
Olivia looked puzzled at his words.
“Mr. Lee hasn’t taken on students for many years. After meeting you last time, he has been very impressed with you. When he heard about the Hargraves family’s free clinic, he immediately thought of you and asked me to find out your plans. If you wanted to go, he would personally recommend you to the Hargraves family,” Harold explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Olivia felt flattered and quickly said, “I appreciate Mr. Lee’s kindness. If I have the chance to meet him next time, I’ll thank him properly. Please convey my thanks to Mr. Lee and tell him that I will perform well at the free clinic and not let him down.”
Harold agreed with a smile.
After lunch, Harold drove Olivia back to the research institute.
“When the location for the free clinic is decided in a couple of days, I’ll come pick you up so we can go together,” Harold suggested as Olivia got out of the car.
Olivia agreed with a smile.
