His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1447:

The man paused briefly before continuing, this time with a thoughtful tone. “If I may be honest, I don’t think you should be overly fixated on academic qualifications and age. Consider this: among all the doctors here with master’s or doctoral degrees, not a single one has achieved a flawless record like Belinda, who only holds a bachelor’s degree. That has to count for something, doesn’t it? And let’s not forget: Mr. Rodgers personally recommended her to you. A man of his standing wouldn’t do that casually, especially not when your daughter’s life hangs in the balance. He wouldn’t dare treat such a matter lightly.”

He looked at Nalani. “I’ve always believed that in the surgical field, relying solely on seniority can be misleading. Yes, veteran doctors bring deep experience, but age eventually takes its toll. Surgical procedures can last anywhere from three hours to twelve, sometimes even seventeen. In this regard, younger doctors have a clear advantage.”

Nalani remained silent, her gaze lowered in deep contemplation.

After what felt like an eternity, she finally gave a noncommittal response. “Alright. I’ll give it some thought.”

The man gave a respectful nod. “Very well. I’ll take my leave now. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything else.”

“Okay.”

After a while, Nalani left the hospital room and made her way toward the doctors’ office in the Cardiac Surgery Department.

Just as she arrived at the door, a nurse stepped out.

“Excuse me, can I help you?” the nurse asked politely.

“I’m looking for Dr. Belinda Wright,” Nalani replied.

“Oh, Dr. Wright? You’ll need to wait a bit.” The nurse gestured down the corridor. “She’s over there, speaking with someone right now.”

Nalani looked in that direction and saw a modestly dressed, slightly disheveled middle-aged woman tightly grasping the hand of a female doctor in a white coat. The woman was tearfully expressing her gratitude.

“What’s happening there?” Nalani asked.

The nurse explained, “That woman is thanking Dr. Wright for saving her son’s life. The boy was brutally attacked and barely clinging to life when he arrived here. His heart had already stopped at that time. Dr. Wright had just finished helping another ER patient, but the moment she saw the boy’s condition, she jumped into action to save him. She performed CPR for nearly twenty minutes straight, and when his pulse returned, she personally rushed him into surgery. Thanks to her, the boy survived.”

Nalani said nothing. She simply stared at Belinda from afar, her expression unreadable.

Two minutes later, the grateful woman left, and Belinda turned and began walking toward the office.

As she approached, the nurse spoke. “Dr. Wright, perfect timing. This lady here’s been waiting to see you.” She gestured toward Nalani.

Belinda shifted her attention to Nalani and asked with calm poise, “How can I help you?”

Nalani didn’t answer. She simply stared at Belinda, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Just moments earlier, when Belinda had turned around and begun walking toward her, Nalani was shocked upon seeing her face clearly.
