When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

hapter 0937

In the past, Elizabeth might have felt dejected for a while. However, she felt an unexpected sense of relief this time.

When she returned home, her parents asked about what happened at the summit.

Elizabeth brushed them off with a few vague sentences. Then, she excused herself by saying she was tired and retreated to her room.

She began to cry in fear the moment she dropped her luggage. However, Elizabeth was too afraid to make any noise.

The next day, Elizabeth “fell ill“. She sent an email requesting sick leave to Paul’s inbox. After that, she didn’t show up at the lab for seven days straight. Paul told them as such when Sandy and Silas asked about her.

“She’s sick?”

“What kind of illness? Is it serious?”

Paul replied expressionlessly, “I don’t know.” Then, he turned back to the lab bench, his figure distant and cold.

Silas frowned. Given his knowledge of Paul, he knew something wasn’t right after having worked with him for many years!

However, it wasn’t appropriate for him to pry further from his position as this situation concerned another member of the lab.

Silas suppressed his curiosity and resumed his work. Despite that, his attitude became far more focused and serious than usual. He even refrained from his usual banter.
