His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1456:

Without another word, Belinda turned and walked away.

Zaria watched her go before turning to Elwood, worry creasing her brow.

“Dad, are you okay? How are you feeling now?”

“I’m feeling better,” Elwood said, and his eyes drifted toward the direction Belinda had left.

Zaria noticed it, her brow furrowing slightly. “Dad, do you know Belinda?”

“No,” Elwood replied. “I only met her today.”

“I see. Let’s go. We should visit Barbara now,” Zaria said, reaching to support his arm.

Elwood brushed her off gently. “I’m fine to walk on my own.”

He then rose and headed toward Barbara’s hospital room.

Zaria stood for a moment, her hand lingering in the air, a quiet sigh escaping her.

Despite being father and daughter, their bond felt distant, lacking the warmth and ease she craved.

She envied those who shared effortless closeness with their fathers, a connection she had never known.

An invisible wall always seemed to separate her from Elwood, leaving her with a sense of quiet resignation.

After a brief pause, Zaria took a deep breath and followed Elwood.

As she entered Barbara’s room, she overheard her aunt Nalani mentioning Belinda to Elwood, startling her.

“Dad, Aunt Nalani, what are you discussing?” she asked.

“Zaria, you are here,” Nalani said with a soft smile, her voice gentle as her eyes turned toward her niece. “Your father and I were just discussing Barbara’s attending physician.”

Zaria blinked in shock. “Attending physician? Barbara’s attending physician is Belinda?”

Nalani gave a subtle shake of her head. “Not yet. I am still considering it.”

Zaria stood frozen, unable to mask her disbelief. The mere thought that Belinda was even in the running to be Barbara’s attending physician left her speechless.

How was this even possible?

Her gaze darted to Nalani. Barbara was Nalani’s everything.

And Belinda… Belinda was still so young, so inexperienced in the medical field. How could she possibly be qualified for such a responsibility?

The words spilled out before Zaria could rein them in. “Aunt Nalani, I really think you should consider this very carefully. Belinda is too young. She probably has not even been practicing for long. I just don’t think she’s capable of taking on the role of Barbara’s attending physician.”

Nalani said nothing.

A quiet tension hung in the air until Elwood spoke, his tone calm but firm. “Zaria, just let your aunt make her own decision.”

Zaria opened her mouth, then closed it. Elwood’s voice left little room for argument, and she knew better than to push further.

Meanwhile, in the Cardiac Surgery Department, Caiden stood at the head of a polished oak table in the doctors’ office.
