His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1070:

Holley hesitated before sinking onto the bench as well.

The waiting felt endless. Each second dragged on painfully.

Then, at last, the heavy doors of the operating room swung open.

Dr. Hammond stepped out, his face calm.

Belinda shot up from her seat, rushing over to him. “Dr. Hammond! How is my grandmother?”

“There’s no need to worry,” he reassured her with a calm tone. “The surgery was successful. We were able to remove the hematoma from her brain, and her fracture has been stabilized. She will be transferred to the ICU for close observation. As long as there are no complications and her vitals remain stable, she should be able to move to a regular ward within two or three days. However, visiting hours are over for today. You can see her first thing tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Belinda let out a long breath, her hands trembling with relief.

“Alright, thank you, Dr. Hammond!” she said.

“Just doing my job,” he said with a small nod before walking away.

Belinda watched him leave before shifting her gaze toward the operating room doors, her heart heavy with emotion.

If this had been in the past, she wouldn’t have hesitated to step into the ICU, take charge, and personally ensure her grandmother’s care.

But now…

The realization that she couldn’t do that cut deep, her throat tightening as unshed tears burned her eyes.

Lucas walked over, his warmth grounding Belinda as he draped an arm gently over her shoulders. “Don’t worry,” he murmured. “Kenia is out of danger now. You’ll see her tomorrow.”

Belinda swallowed hard and nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Okay.” She had already decided not to visit Kenia tonight. Fresh out of surgery, Kenia was too weak. Her visit might only distress her, and she couldn’t afford to jeopardize her recovery.

Now that everyone knew Kenia was stable, the crushing weight of uncertainty had eased. And with nothing more they could do for the night, they quietly left the Grand Plains General Hospital.

At the Wright family residence, Carola, Kylee, Lyle, and Mitchell were gathered in the opulent living room.

After Carola listened to her subordinate’s report, her expression changed in an instant.

“Has it been confirmed that Belinda is infected?” Carola asked.

Her subordinate nodded. “Yes, everyone at the Grand Plains General Hospital is aware of the news now. Even Belinda’s grandmother has been hospitalized because of this.”

Carola’s expression darkened, a heavy weight pressing on her chest.

Lyle and Mitchell exchanged somber looks, a sense of discomfort rising within them.

The cause of all this turmoil was their own cousin.

Yet, Kylee was overjoyed.noveldrama

If she were alone, she likely would have been jumping with joy.

Belinda had tested positive for HIV—a result she viewed as deserved karma. She struggled to suppress her smile.

Just then, Mitchell turned and caught Kylee’s smirk.
