“Uncle, we did it!” Lena exclaimed, standing excitedly in front of him.
Aaron reached out, removed her surgical cap, and gently patted her head. “Lil’ Lena is the best.”
“I'm so happy, Uncle,” Lena said, unable to suppress her excitement. The next second, she threw her arms
around him in a tight hug.

we'll celebrate tonight.”
Not far away, Nate was surrounded by congratulations, but his expression remained restrained. His gaze lingered
on Lena and Aaron, who were embracing and whispering to each other.
An unsettling feeling stirred within him.
It seemed that Lena was especially close to her uncle, perhaps a little too close.
“Dr. Lane,” Nate called out, breaking the moment. “The patient is being transferred to her room. We need to
check on her, and there's a press conference shortly after.”

and take care of your work.”

press conference?”
“No, you all go ahead,” Aaron declined politely
As the crowd dispersed, Aaron lingered for a moment, taking one last look at the now- quiet and empty

channels.”
“Professor Neumann, it's said you brought this project to Seavora because of your trust in a certain OB-GYN
doctor-the beautiful doctor sitting beside you. Is that true?”

earning scholarships. After graduation, she becan exemplary OB -GYN doctor here in Seavora.”
“Professor Neumann, while Dr. Lane is undoubtedly excellent, there are many other exceptional doctors. Did your

“Perhaps this is a question Dr. Lane should answer,” one reporter suggested.
