No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 279



I skipped lunch because Fanny had texted me earlier.

She mentioned that a senior from her college days was now a visiting professor at her hospital, and she had already put in a word for me to meet him. The purpose? To discuss the potential treatment plan for Susie Collins in detail.

"I'll bring Ernest along," I suggested, considering Susie was his sister. It made sense for him to be there, listening in on the conversation. After all, he'd be the one making the final call on whether or not to proceed with surgery.

There was a brief pause on Fanny's end, and I sensed something was off. "Is that going to be a problem?"

"Just come alone," Fanny finally replied. "We're tight on time and can only meet during his break, so it'll have to be quick."

So, there I was, medical files in hand, meeting Fanny at the hospital. She waited for me at the entrance and quickly glanced through the files before leading me to the lecture hall.
