Lillian naturally understood what her father was implying. He and her mother wanted her to date Steven.

Lillian had to admit that Steven was a fine young man. He was handsome and elegant and ticked most women's checklists in terms of partner standards. But for some reason, Lillian didn't find Steven attractive at all.

Elijah woke up not long after Matt finished the acupuncture session, much to the Smith family's excitement.

Elijah then arranged for a great feast to treat Matt and Steven. He even gave Matt a large sum as payment.

"Will you walk with me, Lillian?" Steven asked Lillian after dinner.

"What are you waiting for? Say yes," Lillian's mother, Evelyn White, urged. She even nudged her daughter.

Lillian had no choice but to nod. Steven did just help their family a great deal earlier.

Right when she was about to leave with Steven, they suddenly got a call from the hospital informing them that Elijah had coughed up blood.

The Smith family and Steven swiftly returned to the hospital.

Elijah had fallen unconscious by now. Everyone was shocked by the sight of blood staining his mouth and bedsheets.

"What's going on, Dr. Ricky? Hurry up and check my father!" Ronan said worriedly.

"Why the rush? You have nothing to fear with me here," Matt scoffed. He still hadn't realized the gravity of the situation at this point.

But his expression fell the instant he checked up on Elijah. Elijah's condition had worsened beyond his control.

"No. Why did it turn out like this?" Matt gasped.

He continued checking Elijah's condition for a long time before shaking his head helplessly.

"Why are you shaking your head, Dr. Ricky?" Ronan asked, an uneasy feeling already building in his chest.

"Mr. Smith has been overwhelmed by the poison. There is no way to save him now. My sincere condolences," Matt sighed.
