Love's Redemption

Redmption 277



"No. Nothing in particular. I just wanted to have dinner with you," Keith said directly.

Lisa seemed taken aback and didn't respond immediately. Just when I thought this silly woman would say something coy and reject him, she simply re Yes! My best friend was not as clueless as I thought. She didn't push away the handsome man who came her way.

I silently gave Lisa a thumbs up and even started to imagine what kind of wonderful night she might have with her longtime crush. But then, Emily sud "It's been a long time since the three of us got together after graduation. We should really catch up.'

Huh? Now that was the most proactive light bulb I had ever seen. As someone who had been in a similar situation, I knew exactly what Emily was doin she was trying to prevent Keith and Lisa from being alone together.

Lisa, who rarely showed such courage, had finally stepped up, only for Emily to jump in. I wasn't about to let this slide, but before I could say anything. "Emily, I have some other things to discuss with Keith.

However, Emily didn't falter. Instead, she

smiled faintly and said, "I know you need to discuss the surgery for your friend's family. You might not be aware, but I'm also involved in this surgery ar She wasn't giving up, and she was even using her role in Ellie's surgery to make it hard for Lisa to refuse. Lisa opened her mouth, but before she coul That statement made my eyes widen in surprise, and I thought to myself, "Emily's KO-ed."

Nothing could have been a more perfect knockout than Keith's words.

Emily's beautiful face froze, and her smile had become restrained. Then, she reluctantly shoved her hands into her coat's pockets and said, "If it's pers After that, she looked at Keith. "We should head over now. It's not right to keep the hospital administration waiting."

Keith nodded at Lisa and me, but as he left, his gaze lingered on Lisa.

At that moment, I was absolutely certain that Keith had feelings for Lisa. Not only did he directly reject his rumored partner, but the way he looked at Lisa wasn't ordinary.was already screaming internally on Lisa's behalf.

After Keith and Emily left, I hugged Lisa and whispered in her ear, "Your crush just extended an olive branch- you two are heading toward each other."

"No way, Lisa responded shyly, still lacking confidence.

Keith just rejected Emily for you, and you're still unsure?" I asked.

Lisa bit her lip slightly. "Actually, I just want to find someone who can love me forever, and you know how

Lisa sighed and said, "A love where you have to constantly compete with others and always be on guard is exhausting. I'm afraid I won't be able to ha

"Dr. Carline, have you forgotten the advice you once gave me? Don't stress about things that haven't happened.

"How do you know if, after you really get together with Keith, he wouldn't draw adine with Emily and spare you from all the competition you're imagining?" I tapped her on the forehead with my finger.

People said those involved usually couldn't see the situation clearly, and that was absolutely true in this situation.

Lisa dodged my finger and said,

"We're imagining things too

relationship with me, but to

discourage my feelings for him because he overheard us."
