His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1487:

“Dr. Wright, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to you,” Nalani said earnestly. “I should have never doubted you. I must admit, at one point, I thought you were only trying to show off your skills.”

At the time, Turner had already examined Barbara and declared that she was stable. He had seen no need for medical intervention. Yet Belinda had staunchly countered his prognosis, insisting that Barbara’s condition was unstable and demanding an immediate, high-risk surgery.

Nalani had taken her assertiveness as a display of ego, especially since she had been advocating for such a complicated procedure.

She had never thought that things would unfold the way that they had.

Nalani felt her cheeks flush with shame as she thought back to her past behavior.

But Belinda merely smiled, her face showing very little emotion. “To be honest, I completely understand why you thought that way. I do know that with my age, my words may not seem very credible. But I also know I can’t control how people see me. Besides, my opinion was contrary to Turner’s, and he is the department head. Under such circumstances, it only makes sense for you to trust him more. So really, there’s no need to apologize.”

To be honest, Belinda didn’t blame Nalani for not trusting her at the time. Barbara was facing a life-and-death situation, and as her mother, it was only natural for Nalani to choose the safer approach.

A lump formed in Nalani’s throat. She struggled to process the emotions that bubbled up inside her.noveldrama

She smiled at Belinda. “Thank you, Dr. Wright. From now on, I am entrusting Barbara to you.”

“I’ll do my best. If there’s nothing else, I need to get back to work,” Belinda replied.

Nalani nodded. “All right. Thank you for your time, doctor.”

With that, Belinda returned to her office.

Belinda stopped by the ICU many times throughout that day to check on Barbara, and she had also had people constantly monitor her condition. Once Barbara finally passed the twenty-four-hour mark without incident, Belinda felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

Barbara had officially conquered the first hurdle.

Before clocking out for the day, Belinda conducted a final assessment of Barbara. Then, she gave meticulous directives to the doctors in the ICU.

Meanwhile, an uninvited guest had arrived at Belinda’s place.

“Mom, do you really not care about me anymore? How can you be so heartless?” Seated in the living room, Holley was looking at Kenia through tear-filled eyes, her face a mask of grievance and sorrow, her voice thick with emotion.

Truth be told, Kenia felt bad seeing her daughter like this.

But then, she thought about the things Holley had done, and she realized she still couldn’t forgive her.

So, she averted her gaze and pretended she hadn’t heard anything.

Holley grew anxious at her reaction.

She had more or less predicted that Belinda would cut her off the moment she learned the truth about the hormones and the dark spots on her face, but she had never imagined that her own mother would also cast her away like this. She could still hardly believe that Kenia had actually made good on her word after she declared that she would sever ties with her.

She was her mother; how could she do this to her?
