"It's just that, what?" Austin was curious.
"It's just a pity that although my apprentice is talented, she isn’t focused on practicing medicine. She enjoys making fragrances. If she didn't drop medicine to focus on perfumery, her accomplishments would be endless!” Dominic exclaimed emotionally.
He always knew Lily wanted to go into perfumery, but he was against it. He always felt that such things were not of much use and that they had no medical benefits.
However, Lily was obsessed with perfumery, and Dominic could not do much to stop her. Moreover, she showed great talent in perfumery, and it did not take long for her to make a name for herself.
Dominic had witnessed life and death many times, and with what had happened recently, he realized even the most skilled doctors could only save lives but could not heal hearts. Many things were out of his control.
Once he had let go of his obsession, he no longer blamed her as much. Still, he could not let go of his pride. Lily and Dominic did not talk for a few years afterward. Then Dominic vaguely heard Lily was dating someone.
Later, Dominic learned about her breakup and sudden marriage, which happened long before he knew. Lily was strong-willed and went through many things without telling the older man. Instead, she gritted her teeth and endured everything alone.
However, it reminded Dominic of himself. Perhaps he showed her extra affection when he took her in as his secret apprentice because he saw their similarities.
Austin was speechless.
‘Lily would have been even more capable now if she hadn’t given up halfway.’
She was much better than Austin, even after turning it down a notch. It was hard to imagine what achievements she would have accomplished if she continued studying medicine.
