After Cordelia set off on her journey, Elijah personally visited a pharmacy in the Undernet.
He tried various methods to persuade one of the pharmacy's apprentices. Eventually, the apprentice reluctantly agreed to send him a photo of Cordelia but strictly limited it to that.
"Sir, if it weren't for your deep affection for Evie, I would never agree to send you the photo," the young apprentice said seriously.
Elijah nodded solemnly.
"If you like Evie so much, why don't you tell her? If I were interested in a girl, I would confess my feelings to her right away."
The young apprentice appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had a thoughtful look about him.
Elijah pondered for a moment and replied, "Even if you knew she might have feelings for someone else? Even if there was a good chance she would reject you and embarrass you?"
The apprentice waved his hand and said dismissively, "I would still let her know! What if? Pride is nothing. If you felt embarrassed, so be it!"
Elijah pursed his lips and quietly put on his sunglasses. "Thank you. I'll wait for your photo."
A month later, Cordelia still hadn't returned to Beilve City.
She was currently in a water town, offering medical consultations at a local pharmacy of the Undernet.
During this time, her fame had spread far and wide, attracting many patients, including influential figures, which made her network more and more extensive.
"Next, please."
Cordelia was busy jotting down notes when she sensed a new patient before her. She didn't look up and asked, "What seems to be the trouble?"
"I have discomfort in my heart."
Cordelia's pen paused, and she raised her gaze to the person sitting in front of her.
It was Elijah. He sat in front of her, wearing sunglasses and with an expressionless face. His gaze, concealed beneath the shades, was likely fixed firmly on her at that moment.
"Let me check your pulse first."
Cordelia reached out her hand calmly and placed it on his inner wrist.
