Hearing his name from her lips sent a sharp twinge through Yates's chest. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to say her name aloud.

What I want to highlight is Yates's new research breakthrough: fetal heart correction during pregnancy. Yates has chosen our hospital for the pilot program, and Dr. Willis, you'll be collaborating with him."

Fanny was already acquainted with this research. Yates had mentioned it to her before, though he hadn't initially planned to launch it in this country, let alone collaborate with her. It was hard for her to believe there wasn't a personal motive behind his change of plans.

Nonetheless, this breakthrough could help countless families with unborn babies needing heart corrections. Despite their personal history, working together was feasible.
