His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1459:

Zaria offered a reassuring smile, her eyes sincere. “Of course.”

Kylee exhaled, a small wave of relief washing over her.

Whatever happened, she could not afford to let Belinda and the Wright family from Soling grow too entangled. The risk was far too great. She already had her suspicions—Carola’s old lover might very well be Belinda’s biological father. And if that man turned out to be the head of the Wright family… things could spiral into chaos fast. She had no solid proof yet, but one thing was certain: the safest route was keeping those two as far apart as possible.

After talking to Kylee for a bit longer, Zaria decided it was time to leave. Kylee didn’t insist on her staying and walked her to the door.

Just as they stepped out into the hallway, they nearly collided with Carola, who was climbing the stairs, clearly on her way back to her room.noveldrama

“Mom,” Kylee called out.

“Mrs. Wright,” Zaria said with a respectful nod.

Carola paused mid-step, caught off guard by the sight of Zaria. A flicker of something crossed her face, but she masked it quickly. With a faint nod, she continued up the stairs without a word.

Once Zaria had left, Kylee made her way upstairs and entered Carola’s room.

“Mom,” she said, settling onto the sofa beside her.

Before Carola could speak, Kylee launched into an explanation. “Zaria is a new friend of mine. Her aunt’s daughter is currently hospitalized at Grand Plains General Hospital; she is diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. The whole family is deeply concerned. I heard even Zaria’s father has come to Owathe because of the matter. Since Zaria knows I used to work at Grand Plains General Hospital, she came to ask me a few things.”

Carola’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Zaria’s aunt was Nalani, right? Elwood’s younger sister. So, Elwood had come to Owathe, too?

It made sense the more she thought about it. Elwood had always been deeply protective of his sister.

“How is the patient doing?” Carola asked, her tone composed.

Kylee shook her head. “Zaria did not go into detail. She just said they had not decided on a lead doctor yet.”

She scoffed, crossing her arms. “And you will not believe this—Mr. Rodgers actually recommended Belinda for the role! For such a critical case! Is he out of his mind? Belinda is nowhere near qualified for something like that.”

Her face tightened with indignation.

But Carola remained calm. “Mr. Rodgers must have his reasons. Think about it—if Belinda truly lacked the capability, do you think he would dare to put her in charge? If anything went wrong, he would be the one held accountable.”

Kylee said nothing, but her expression clearly showed her displeasure. Still, she had not come here to rant. There was something more pressing on her mind.

She hesitated, glancing at her mother before finally speaking. “Mom, there is something I want to ask you. Do you know Zaria?”
