Love's Redemption

Redmption 322



"Lie down. Let me listen," Keith said as he took the stethoscope from around his neck.

We all watched anxiously. Even Brandon, who usually remained calm under pressure, was visibly tense.

However, this was just a check-up, not a surgery.

I saw once again how much he cherished her. I reached out and held his hand. He turned to look at me, and I gave him a reassuring nod.

Ellie didn't move. She just stared at Keith as if she were frozen in place.

Upon noticing this, Lisa stepped forward and bent down slightly. "Lie down so Mr. Marrow can listen to your heartbeat. It won't hurt.”

Ellie had already met Lisa earlier and had taken an immediate liking to her.

It was only then that Ellie blinked and obediently lay down.

I noticed her cheeks had turned red, like the flowers blooming in her

little garden. My heart tightened as I looked into her eyes, which sparkled brighter than ever.

I glanced at Keith, who was pressing the stethoscope against Ellie's chest. He was focused solely on his task.

A man who was serious about his work was truly captivating, especially when he was as handsome as Keith.

Oh no! Ellie had definitely fallen for him.

"Your heartbeat is a bit fast. Are you feeling unwell?" Keith asked while looking at her.

She pursed her lip and shook her head but then nodded.

He remained patient. “Are you feeling well or not?"

"A bit flustered," she said while still staring at him.

"Don't be nervous. Breathe evenly and close your eyes," Keith calmly reassured her.

However, Ellie shook her head. At that moment, Brandon tightened his grip on my hand as - was now more anxious.

Keith moved the stethoscope to another position before putting it away. He looked at Ellie and said, " Aside from a slightly fast heartbeat, there's nothing major to worry about."

After speaking, he exchanged a look with Brandon and me, then walked out of the room.

Lisa followed him, and naturally, so

did Brandon. I wanted to go out and hear

at they were discussing, but Want to leave Ellie alone, so I

stayed behind

Ellie was now pressing her hands against her chest as if trying to keep her heart from leaping out.

Seeing her flushed face and the dazed look in her eyes as she stared at the ceiling, I walked over. "Is your heart bothering you?"

"Maddie, I think I've fallen for that professor just now," Ellie confessed, confirming the suspicion I had had earlier.

Alas!

They said that good looks would attract admirers, and that couldn't be more true.

It was the same for both women and men.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Keith standing there was enough to make Ellie's heart flutter.

However, it was impossible for her obe

and Keith to be together. I didn't think this because Lisa also liked him. Rather, I was worried that Ellie might affect Lisa's love life. I had already seen in Keith's eyes the feelings he had for Lisa.

Even though nothing had developed between them yet, it didn't mean it won't.

So, to save Ellie from getting hurt, I need to gently put an end to her budding feelings.

I pouted playfully. "It's because he's good-looking, right? I think so, too. Just looking at him is a real treat. I like him too."
