chapter927

"Who says our Capital Med School student is just bluffing?"

Right at that moment, a strong, confident voice echoed through the hall.

Lydia lifted an eyebrow, her lips curling into a small, knowing smile.

The crowd stared in shock as a vigorous figure strode onto the stage.

No way, am I seeing this right? Is that the principal of Capital Med School?" "You're not imagining things. That's Kevin."

"He hasn't shown up at an academic competition in years. Why is he here now?"

"I thought he'd skip this year too. Maybe he saw Lydia making a scene and came to do some damage control?"

"Makes sense. If Lydia keeps going like this, Capital Med School will be the laughingstock of the whole medical world."

Desmond finally let out a breath he'd been holding. The one person who could actually stand up for Lydia had finally arrived.

Kevin's hair was completely silver, but he was full of energy and looked sharper than anyone else in the room.

Daisy's hands curled into fists as soon as she saw him. Back when she was at Capital Med School, this old man had been a big reason Lydia had always gotten away with everything. He'd protected her, giving her the confidence to act like she owned the place.

Now, with so many students watching, Daisy wanted to see how far Kevin's favoritism would go.

"Mr. Moore, are you here to back Lydia up? Daisy called out, voice steady. She had Capital College behind her now, so she wasn't afraid of Kevin anymore.

Her words hung in the air, hinting at something more between Kevin and Lydia.

Kevin let out a booming laugh and looked straight at the crowd. "You all keep asking

if Lydia is really part of the CAR-T research team. Well, I'll make it clear for everyone today. She is."

The whole hall erupted. People started whispering and gasping all over again.

Kevin was a legend, both in the International Medical Association and here at home. No one in the medical field could touch his reputation. Maybe only that mysterious Miracle Hands could match his skill. Unfortunately, Kevin hadn't performed surgery in years, and he never took on students, which everyone thought was a huge loss.

So why was he suddenly here, standing up for Lydia? What was their connection?

Angelo and Stellan couldn't stay in their seats any longer. They both stood up and spoke up.

"Mr. Moore, we have nothing but respect for you. But Lydia... she's never made any contribution to medicine, and honestly, we've never even heard her name. How did she end up on the CAR-T research team?"

"Yeah, Kevin. She's so young. Isn't that kind of unusual?"

Kevin's smile never faded. Actually, there are a lot of brilliant minds in medicine who you've probably never heard of. It's not that they haven't made a difference. They just work quietly, without chasing fame or attention.

The room fell silent. People started looking at each other, unsure what to think.

Suddenly, Dr. Donley shot up from

his seat. "That's true! Kevin's absolutely right. Lydia really is a medical genius. Remember that

arterial bleeding surgery at our ne

hospital a month ago? Lydia and Dr. Norwood did it together They gave everything they had and saved a life."

Everyone looked stunned, struggling to process what they'd just heard.

No way. That groundbreaking surgery at Mercy Hospital, the one that got the whole

medical community talking, was done by Lydia and Dr. Norwood?

How could that even be possible?

Desmond slowly stood up too. "Lydia is a rare talent in our field. She just doesn't like the spotlight, and she's not interested in recognition or awards. You say she skips classes or isn't around campus, but does anyone actually know what she's doing when she's not here? Has anyone ever asked what she's really working on?"
