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."
