Chapter 274 I didn't join Xander for lunch as I already had an appointment with Lisa.

She said Keith had cto their hospital as a visiting professor and that she had already spoken to him. She wantedto meet him to discuss the details of Ellie's treatment.

"I'll bring Brandon with me," I said. After all, it was about his sister, so it would be best if he heard everything firsthand. Plus, he should be the one to decide whether or not to go ahead with the surgery. Lisa hes "You should calone. Besides, tis short. We'll only have a short break to quickly discuss the situation," she explained.

So, I went to the hospital alone with Ellie's medical records. Lisa was waiting for me, and after glancing at the records, she ledto the lecture hall.

On the way, she explained, "Keith is very busy. After his lecture, he has other commitments, so you might only have four or five minutes to talk." I couldn't believe it. "That busy? Like the president?" Lisa chuckled at my joke and teased back, "Pretty much. He's an internationally renowned professor now. The fact that he's here at our hospital might be our luck, or maybe one of the directors offered him something." I glanced at her, sensing the hint of sadness in her tone. Lisa was a well-accomplished doctor as well, but her achievements seemed insignificant in the eyes of Keith, whom she admired. This might be the reason for her crush all these years. Love was about being well-matched, and being seen as equals.

"Have you met him privately?" I asked, still curious.

"No. He's too busy. Besides, if I had, I wouldn't be calling you to meet him now," Lisa said while nudging me. "I told you, he's a big-shot professor with an assistant who manages his time." I got the message. It wasn't because she didn't want to, but she didn't have the chance.

"You have his personal contact, right? Why not give it a try?" I encouraged her.

However, Lisa didn't reply.

Soon, we arrived at the lecture hall. The huge electronic screen displayed the words, "WelcProfessor Keith Marrow, International Medical Expert, as a visiting professor." E When Lisa and I entered, the lecture hall was packed with people. There was a young and handsman wearing rimless glasses giving a lecture on stage. That had to be Keith.

His words were clear and concise, and his voice was very pleasant, rivaling even that of TV news anchors. The white lab coat he wore reflected the bright light in the room, making him look like a god who had Doctors were indeed like gods among us-they healed and saved lives. He was such a striking and accomplished man. It was no wonder that no one could replace him in Lisa's heart.

The lecture hall was so full that people were standing along the aisles. Since Lisa and I arrived late, there were no seats left. We could only stand at the back and listen.

I didn't know if it was just my imagination, but as soon as Lisa and I entered, I noticed Keith glance in our direction.

"He's looking at you," I whispered to Lisa.

"He's looking at the audience. Don't overthink it," she replied defensively.

Keith's lecture lasted for another hour. By the end, my back and legs were sore, but Lisa seemed unfazed.

It was not surprising. She was a doctor who often stood for hours in surgery sometimes even over ten hours. An hour like this was nothing to her.

But I was struggling. I was not used to standing for long periods, and after my last night's exhaustion, my legs were aching, my back was stiff, and I was feeling shaky

I stretched my aching back and looked at Keith,"ounded was by people not far away. "Your senior sure knows how to talk." After a pause, I added, "And he's really good at it." X
