His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1445:

“Mr. Rodgers is really biased toward Dr. Wright, isn’t he?” one of the doctors muttered in a mocking tone.

“Didn’t he pull a few strings just to get her into the hospital in the first place?”

“That’s not the whole story,” someone said. “True, Mr. Rodgers helped her get into the hospital, but her talent isn’t up for debate. She’s the first physician in Grand Plains General Hospital’s history to receive a perfect score on her evaluation. Can any of us achieve that?”

“Exactly. Mr. Rodgers wouldn’t have recommended Dr. Wright without good reasons.”

The other doctors fell silent, but Belinda could sense their dissatisfaction.

She didn’t show much emotion on her face at that.

Quietly, she stood and exited the office, walking to a secluded corner.

Once there, she pulled out her phone and dialed Caiden.

“Hello, Star.” Caiden quickly answered the call.

“I heard what happened today,” Belinda said, getting straight to the point. “You recommended me as the attending physician for a patient?”

“I did,” Caiden replied without hesitation. “Let me give you some context. The patient’s mother is Nalani Dury. Her older brother is the head of the Wright family—yes, that Wright family, the most powerful among the four great families in Soling.”

Belinda’s eyes narrowed slightly. Caiden continued, his voice softening, “Years ago, she helped me during one of the most difficult times in my life. I’ve been indebted to her ever since. Her husband died two years ago because of Marfan syndrome. It broke her. And her daughter was diagnosed with the same condition six years ago. For a while, things were stable. But over the past year, and especially in the last two weeks, Barbara’s condition has deteriorated rapidly. She was admitted to a hospital in Soling for two weeks, but Nalani insisted on transferring her here. She wanted the best care for her daughter.”

His voice turned somber. “After losing her husband, she has poured all her love and care into her daughter. She couldn’t afford to lose her daughter. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with this case, Star. So, you really need to try hard to get the position of her daughter’s attending physician.”

𝑻𝑹𝑼𝑬 𝑭𝑰𝑳𝑬: 𝒈⋅𝒂𝒍⋅𝒏⋅𝒐𝒗⋅𝒆𝒍⋅𝒔⋅𝒄𝒐⋅𝒎

There was a brief silence as Belinda absorbed his words.

The Wright family… So that made Nalani Zaria’s aunt?

It all made sense now. No wonder Caiden was so invested in Barbara’s case; Nalani had helped him in the past.

“Alright,” Belinda said calmly. “I understand. I’ll do everything I can.”

She paused for a second, then added, “But…”

Belinda hesitated, assessing the odds. “Don’t get your hopes up. Given how concerned Nalani was for her daughter, I might not be her top pick. After all, from an outsider’s perspective, Turner is definitely a much safer option than I am.”

“I hear you,” Caiden replied, his voice steady. “Just do your best. If Nalani chooses Turner in the end, we can’t do anything about it.”

“Alright,” Belinda said. “Forward me Barbara’s full medical records. I’ll study them thoroughly.”

Caiden gave a light laugh. “Okay.”
