Chapter 597



Belinda hesitated, her expression thoughtful. “I could do that, but there are many senior doctors and professors in our department with more experience. Are the parents willing to entrust their child to me?”

Though she was now an attending physician, few patients chose her for treatment. She knew many preferred the hospital’s more seasoned experts. She understood them—after all, why choose a young woman in her twenties when there were many experienced doctors available?

Turner had also objected to her taking consultations, citing her inexperience. And since Belinda herself didn’t want to push the matter, it wasn’t pursued further.

Darwin’s response was immediate, his tone firm. “Absolutely. They trust you, and I also trust you.”

He paused, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. “After all, you’re the youngest attending physician in the hospital’s history. That alone speaks volumes. And your perfect exam paper is still on display in the hospital’s honor board. Why wouldn’t we trust you?”

Belinda allowed a small smile to form. “Alright. Have them bring the child to the Cardiac Surgery Department tomorrow morning at ten. I’ll examine him personally.”

“Okay. Thank you, Dr. Wright,” Darwin said.

“You are welcome,” Belinda replied.

During dinner, Darwin discussed the boy’s condition further, while Belinda listened intently. She was so absorbed in the conversation that she didn’t notice a small smudge on her face.

Step into new worlds at g Ɐ lnσ ν𝓮 ℓs․conn Darwin’s gaze lingered on Belinda for a moment before he reached out without warning, wiping the smudge away with his finger.

Belinda froze, her eyes widening in shock.

Before she could react, the door to the private room swung open. Startled, Belinda turned toward the door, her brows knitting together as she recognized the person who had just entered. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Upon realizing what was happening, Darwin quickly pulled his hand away from Belinda’s face and turned toward the door. “What are you doing here?” he asked coldly, his eyes flashing with disdain.

Minna had stepped into the room with a smile on her face, but her expression immediately shifted when she saw Belinda was there. Her good mood disappeared altogether when she noticed Darwin’s hand on Belinda’s cheek earlier.

That bitch, Belinda! Belinda already had the powerful Lucas in the palm of her hand, yet here she was, shamelessly seducing Darwin. And to think that Darwin had actually touched Belinda’s face just now…

Hot, burning jealousy flared in Minna’s chest. It took all her self-control not to rush over and slap Belinda right then and there.

Taking a deep breath, Minna plastered a smile on her face and said, “A friend mentioned seeing you come into this room, so I thought I’d stop by to say hello. I wasn’t expecting you to be having a meal with Ms. Wright.”
