" I must at least let Hayden recover his cost and help Hayden make some money before I can leave." Lilith said his plan, "I won't leave here for at least two more years.”
The expression on Ben's face suddenly became solemn.
"Ben, I know you are getting old, and your parents want a grandson quickly. So I don't want you to waste time waiting for me." Lilith explained the matter to him.
Ben sighed and said, "My parents started looking forward to having grandchildren when I was in my twenties. After so many years, they have long given up hope."
"Oh. I'm being serious with you. If you meet a woman you like, just go ahead."
"I'll wait for you for two years." Ben interrupted her, "Lilith, I'm very grateful you confessed to me today about your plans. I'm very sober, don't worry. It's not without reason that I've been single for so many years. I'm very picky."
His words amused Lilith.
"It's pointless to say this now. The plans don't keep up with the changes.” Lilith adjusted her mood and changed the subject, "Although Avery refuses to use the cornea you found, I still want to thank you."

"As long as Avery's eyes get healed, no one can take away her source of income." Ben reassured her, "Even if Alpha Technologies goes out of business, she can still be a doctor."
"You mean Elliot intends to bring down Alpha Technologies?"
Ben shook his head: "He wants to make the company bigger. There is also, undeniably, the element of him being unwilling to lose to Avery."
"Oh..." "Actually, for so many years, Elliot only had Avery by his side. He won't be so cruel to Avery."
"You make everything sound good. You're not him; how do you know what he's thinking? What if he is up to something bad ?"
