Cesare playfully pinched her cheek as he spoke. Eileen quickly explained that she had been a bit nervous because it had been so long since their last meeting. After a thorough explanation, the misunderstanding was finally resolved, and they were able to enjoy tea together.
They settled at Eileen's favorite outdoor table in the Imperial Palace Garden, sipping tea and chatting. In Cesare's company, Eileen could momentarily forget about her debts and her parents. As their pleasant time together drew to a close, Cesare casually suggested, "Making and selling medicine wouldn't be a bad idea."
To Eileen, who had been struggling to find a way to earn money, this advice was invaluable. When she expressed doubt about her ability to pursue this path without completing her university studies, Cesare reassured her, complimenting her intelligence and expressing that he had never met anyone as smart as she was.
