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?"

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