Chapter 906



“If there’s something you need to say to me, Mr. Lambert, just get to the point.”

Darwin’s smile faded. A flicker of hesitation crossed his face before he finally spoke again.

“I’m really sorry about Minna’s situation.”

Belinda said nothing.

Darwin looked at her and continued, “I know you blame me for the matter. I wouldn’t fault you for it. After all, it all started because of me, and I have no excuse for that.”

Then, with a hint of pleading, he said, “But… Could we not let this ruin our friendship?”

Belinda regarded him, her expression unreadable.

“I’m not cutting ties with you over this. But Minna’s situation made me realize something… In the future, unless it’s absolutely necessary, let’s not have meals together anymore.”

Darwin felt something sink inside him. Belinda’s words stung more than he had expected. He clenched his fists briefly, his hatred for Minna burning.

Silence stretched between them. When Belinda saw that Darwin wasn’t going to say anything more, she said, “I’ll be going now.”

“Wait!” Darwin quickly called out to stop her.

“Is there something else?” Belinda asked.

Darwin parted his lips slightly before speaking.

“If Dotson comes looking for you again, ignore him.”

Belinda didn’t respond.

“He wants to put his son back under your care.” Darwin exhaled sharply.

“He called me today about it. I already told him off. So if he comes to you, you can just ignore him.”

Belinda let out a cold laugh in her heart.

Did Dotson think he could do whatever he wanted?

He wanted to transfer his son to her care now?

In his dreams!

“If he comes to talk to me about it, I’m definitely not going to agree,” Belinda said directly.

She paused briefly, her tone turning professional.

“Pass on a message to Dotson for me. Tell him Turner is more than capable of running the Cardiac Surgery Department. His expertise isn’t in question. What happened this time was unfortunate, but it doesn’t mean it will happen again.”

Darwin’s expression shifted slightly when he heard Belinda’s words.

Every time he spoke to Belinda, he found himself falling for her more. Despite everything Turner had done to undermine Belinda, she spoke about him objectively.

Despite Dotson’s betrayal, she didn’t hold it against his son and instead reassured him with a rational perspective.
