Redmption 275



That was a genuine compliment. Even as an ordinary person, I could clearly understand everything. Through Keith's lecture, I gained a deep apprecia

Lisa didn't respond to my comment. Instead, she noticed that something was off with me. "What's w with you? You look worn out, like you've just done Her sharp observation skills as a gynecologist were spot on-she could tell something was off and even guessed the reason behind it.

I pursed my lips and said, "I am a little exhausted."

Lisa's eyes widened. "You... Are you for real? With who?"

The first part of her sentence was understandable, but the last two words were a bit shocking to me.

I glanced around to make sure no one else was nearby and bit my lip. "Lisa, who do you think it was?"

She studied me for a few seconds. "Brandon?"

I didn't deny it. Lisa nodded and then shook her head "I never expected this. Chris was with you for ten years, yet he couldn't beat Brandon- a latecomer has taken the lead."

I was left speechless by her remark.

"What happened? Did you force yourself on him?" Lisa really overestimated me.

I coughed lightly. "It was mutual."

That made Lisa laugh. She was clearly teasing me. I glared at her and said, "What are you laughing at? It really was mutual. I didn't force anything."

"That doesn't matter. What matters is that you got to be with such a handsome and well-

built man. No regrets," Lisa said, her words hitting the mark as always.

"Dr. Carline, all these years you've ignored every man and had no

interest in anyone. Is it because you think it would only be worth it to sleep with someone as excellent as Keith?" I teased her back.

Lisa didn't deny it. “Exactly. If you're going to be with someone, it should be someone you like and someone outstanding."

"Your senior is indeed impressive. It would be a shame to miss out on him. You should tell him how you feel-

you might just have a chance," I encouraged her.

Lisa pouted and said, "There's no way anything could happen between us. If I confess to him, there are only two possible outcomes." "What are they?"

Lisa paused before she continued, "One is that we start dating and fall in love. The other is we can't even be friends anymore."

I laughed. "That's true for every couple."

Lisa shook her head lightly, a hint of

self-mockery on her face. "For him

and me, it would only be the latter. That's why I'd rather not say

je

anything. I don't want to lose him as

a friend."

Seeing her like this, I realized her crush on Keith ran much deeper than I had thought. It might even affect her future relationships or choices in a partr

Though I wanted to encourage her to take a bold step also knew that everyone had their own thoughts, and it was not my place to interfere.

I didn't say anything more and instead looked over to where Keith was standing. To my surprise, he was no longer there.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Where's your senior? Let's go find him!" I nudged Lisa,

She turned around, only to see Keith standing right behind us, still wearing his white coat.

Lisa and I both tensed up, unsure how long he had been standing there or how much of our conversation he had overheard.

Lisa was visibly nervous and even a bit embarrassed. She started tucking her hair behind her ear-

a habit she had whenever she felt uneasy or embarrassed. She even forgot to greet him.

At that moment, I became unusually outgoing immediately extended my hand to Keith and said, "Hello, Professor Marrow. I'm Madeline Crown, a friend of Lisa's. Your lecture was absolutely brilliant."

Keith briefly shook my hand before letting go quickly, his gaze settling on Lisa's face. So, I nudged her, signaling her to say something.
