Chapter 1765

Sweat beaded on the researcher's forehead as he struggled internally, hesitating for what felt like an eternity. In the end, he caved, allowing them to see the patient.

As the researcher scurried away, Karina glanced at Wilfred. "Earlier, you mentioned Dr. Carter and Professor Zeller. Who are they?"

Wilfred's response was calm and straightforward. "Harley Carter, the person you just met. A dual specialist in internal and external medicine with years of overseas training. As for Professor Zeller, he's a towering figure in the medical field. He's given lectures at prestigious universities." "Dr. Carter is his last and most esteemed protégé."

Karina's heart raced. "Are you talking about Tim Zeller? The Professor Zeller?"

Wilfred glanced at her, his tone neutral. "That's him. What, are you a fan?"

Realizing her excitement might have been a bit much, Karina hesitated. Given the earlier tension, it seemed like there might be some conflict between Wilfred and the mentor-protégé duo.

While she mulled over how to respond, Wilfred casually looked away, his tone dismissive. "Admiration is understandable. His reputation speaks for itself."

He took a few steps forward, deliberately widening the distance between them.
