His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1450:

Lucas didn’t argue. He fell quiet for a moment, thoughtful. Then, he said, “Since Nalani and Barbara have come all the way to Owathe, I should pay them a visit. I’ll speak with Harold about this tomorrow. He’ll help coordinate it.”

“Alright,” Belinda said. “Oh, another thing—when you go see Barbara, avoid mentioning me to Nalani, will you?”

Lucas gave a resigned nod and smiled. “Okay. I won’t. I’ll let her make her own decision.”noveldrama

“Good.” Belinda smiled.

“You continue with your work. I’m going to take a shower,” Lucas said.

“Alright.”

The next day.

Turner and his team arrived early in the morning at Barbara’s hospital room.

“Miss Dury, how are you feeling this morning? Any discomfort?” Turner asked, flashing a smile that stretched a little too wide, his gaze fixed on Barbara.

Barbara barely acknowledged him. Her eyes, cool and unreadable, slid past his face as if he were nothing more than a shadow on the wall. She looked away, her silence dismissive and her disinterest palpable.

Turner’s smile faltered for just a fraction of a second. He quickly composed himself.

Since Barbara offered no reply, he turned toward Nalani. “Mrs. Dury, how is your daughter today? Any signs of discomfort?”

“None,” Nalani answered calmly. “Everything appears normal.”

“That is good to hear,” Turner said with a courteous nod. “When it comes to matters of the heart, even the smallest sign must not be overlooked. If she feels anything unusual, please do not hesitate to call me immediately.”

Nalani gave a silent nod, offering no further comment.

After a slight pause, Turner said, “Mrs. Dury, have you made a decision about who will be Miss Dury’s attending physician?”

Nalani repeated the same answer she had given Belinda the day before. “Once the latest test results come in, I will expect both you and Dr. Wright to propose your respective treatment plans. After that, I will make my choice.”

For a moment, Turner froze. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. Despite everything he had said earlier, Nalani still hadn’t decided whom to choose.

She wanted both him and Belinda to present treatment plans.

It was infuriating.

He, the chief physician and head of the Cardiac Surgery Department, was being pitted against an attending physician.

This was outrageous!

“Very well,” Turner said, suppressing the irritation curling in his chest. “I will wait for Miss Dury’s latest results before proceeding further.”

Without waiting for a response, he turned to his team. “Let’s go.”

The team followed him out of Barbara’s room in silence, the heavy door clicking shut behind them.
