Dr. Lance Ross was a man whose name alone carried weight. As the world's most sought-after neurosurgeon, his reputation transcended borders. Patients from all walks of life-politicians, celebrities, tech moguls, and even royalty-sought his expertise. His calendar was booked months, sometimes years, in advance, and yet he always managed to carve out time to perform pro bono surgeries for patients in desperate need. It wasn't just his skill with a scalpel that earned admiration; it was his humility, his heart, and his tireless dedication to saving lives.
Lance father, Dr. Luke Ross, was a living legend himself. Growing up in his father's shadow, Liam never saw it as a burden but as an inspiration. Together, the father-and-son duo redefined medical excellence, often performing surgeries so intricate that others deemed them impossible. Despite his achievements, Liam remained grounded, donating a significant portion of his salary to fund surgeries for the less fortunate.
But while his professional life flourished, Lance personal life was a barren landscape. His twin sister, Lorraine, often teased him about it.
"You're the best in the world at fixing brains," Lorraine would say, "but you're clueless when it comes to matters of the heart."
Lance would laugh it off, brushing aside her remarks. Between his relentless schedule and his own self-imposed barriers, he'd convinced himself that love was a luxury he couldn't afford. Relationships required time, emotional availability-two things he didn't have.
