This wasn’t a difficult question to answer. Either it was true, or it wasn’t.
But saying “no” outright would put Nate in an awkward position, especially after he had just admitted that he
brought the project to Seavora for her.
On the other hand, if she didn’t deny it, the media could twist the story, turning a groundbreaking medical
achievement into a narrative about Nate using a life-saving project as a romantic gesture for his supposed
girlfriend.
“I'll answer this,” Lena finally spoke, taking the metaphorical grenade. “Professor Neumann and | were university
classmates. He was my senior, and now he is my teacher and colleague. That is the extent of our relationship.”
Her words fell like a gavel, and the journalists’ cameras clicked away more furiously than
ever.
Sitting beside her, Nate's gaze dimmed as he looked at her.
It was clear now-she would never cback to him.
If she had even the slightest inclination, she wouldn't have denied their connection so thoroughly.
“Professor Neumann, is it as Dr. Lane says? Did you two date in the past?” the journalists pressed on.
Nate felt a chill spreading through his heart, but he knew that following Lena's lead and sparing her any
embarrassment was the best way to show his love for her.
He loved her, even if she no longer loved him.
“Dr. Lane and | share a mentor-mentee relationship and a friendship. Today’s surgery wouldn't have been such a
success without her. Thank you all,” Nate said, turning to look
at Lena.

Their eyes met-a steady, calm, and warm exchange that spoke volumes without words. The cameras captured
this moment, a scene the reporters relished.
In the crowd, Aaron watched everything unfold, his expression unreadable.
With the press conference successfully concluded, the director let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, a load off my
mind. Professor Neumann, Dr. Lane, thank you both for your hard work. To celebrate today’s success, let's have
dinner tonight. Everyone must come-no excuses!”

Lena wanted to excuse herself but swallowed her words when she saw how excited everyone else was.
Though the surgery hadn't been particularly long, her exhaustion felt heavier than usual. All she wanted was to
go home, sleep deeply, or sit on her carpet with a cold beer in hand.
Keira called Lena after seeing the news and press conference online. She had been following the story closely all
day but hadn't wanted to disturb her during the surgery.
“Congratulations, Dr. Lane,” Keira began, her voice full of genuine happiness for her.
“Thank you,” Lena replied, though her voice was tinged with weariness.
Keira could tell she was exhausted. While the public only saw the triumph, those who cared for her knew how
much pressure the process had put on her. Keira had sensed it just last night during their phone call.
“Wantto pick you up for srelaxation?” Keira offered.
“No, | can’t. The first three hours post-surgery are critical for the patient. | need to monitor the situation,” she
explained.
Her dedication to her work was something Keira deeply admired.
Hearing her response made Keira reflect on her own life. Since her breakup with Jace and leaving Riverwave
Corporation, she hadn't truly committed to any work. Even when she worked briefly with Ron, she was
inconsistent, and now, with her pregnancy, she had fully embraced a life of idleness.
Yes, Keira was wealthy enough to live comfortably without ever working again, but this aimless existence drained
her sense of purpose. She felt like she was wasting away, living without direction.
Recently, Keira had been thinking a lot about this and had finally cup with a plan.
“Alright, go be your responsible Dr. Lane. | need to start planning my future,” Keira told
her.
“What kind of mischief are you up to now?” Lena asked knowingly.
“| want to start a business,” Keira
said, sharing the idea that had bean
