StarNovelChapter 336 My heart sank as I thought about the tests that Ellie had undergone earlier today. "Are the test results unfavorable?" Lisa tucked her hands into the pockets of her white coat and shook her head slightly. "Not quite. The issue lies with the donor." I was puzzled. "What do you mean?" "The donor is a brain-dead patient on life support. The family had initially consented to donate all organs but has since reversed their decision," she explained.
I understood the implications. This donor was a suitable match for Ellie, and if the donation was withdrawn, she would have to wait for another suitable donor, with no certainty on how long that might take. "Do you know why they've changed their minds?" I inquired.
Lisa made a dismissive gesture with her lips. "No. We only received a notification. As you know, donor information is confidential." Thinking about Ellie's anticipation for her new life, I could only imagine how disappointed she would be if she found out that the surgery couldn't proceed for now.

"Don't be disheartened. There are certainly alternative solutions, though the transplant will have to be delayed." "I see. If hospitalization can't be arranged immediately, perhaps we should consider having her discharged temporarily and take her out for a while," I suggested. "You can decide since she's your sister-in-law," Lisa teased.
I nudged her back playfully. "Tellmore about your relationship with Mr. Marrow. How's it progressing?" "What progress? We've had only two days off. My shifts and his overtdon't leave much room for romance between us." Her response madesmile.
"Will you only take a break when the Earth explodes? How can you possibly nurture a relationship under these conditions?" I teased.
"Even if it's difficult, I have to make an effort. I'm already devising strategies," Lisa said, showing determination. Tasked with a curious expression, "Do you have any solutions? Don't tellyou're planning to give up being a doctor for marriage?" "No way. I want to be the youngest obstetrics and gynecology professor. What would I be doing with someone who specializes in cardiology?" she said firmly.
Her perspective was pragmatic. After all, a woman should not relinquish her career ambitions for the sake of a relationship.
"You know better than I do how to handle it after so many years of unrequited love becoming a reality, so I'l keep quiet." I raised my hand in surrender. Chapter 336 Lisa's gaze fell on the ring on my finger. "So, once Ellie's surgery is done, are you and Brandon planning to hold the wedding?" I wasn't sure about that myself.
"But Brandon isn't exactly wealthy. If he spends more on Ellie's surgery, he might not have enough left for the wedding. Given his nature, he probably wouldn't want to compromise on your happiness. So, it might take stime," she analyzed.
I thought about the phone call I overheard earlier. "Lisa, do you think Brandon looks like he's broke?" "He doesn't seem so, but appearances can be deceiving. Many people wear designer brands

are worth millions." Lisa reflected.
"Do you think Brandon might be one of those who's modest but wealthy?" I asked.
She looked at me. "Is it really appropriate to askabout your man's financial status?"
"I just don't know, and that's why I asked for your help. After all, you're the expert on people," I teased her." E Aren't you, Dr. Carline?" Just then, Lisa's phone rang. She answered, "Hello... What? Okay. I'll be right there."
She put away her phone and looked at me. "I need to go back to the m department There's a disturbance with a patient and their family." This was no small matter. I waved her off. "Go ahead." But as she walked away, I suddenly felt a warm sensation.
