His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1457:

Around him sat Belinda, Turner, his team, and a few resident doctors, those who had worked with Belinda during previous surgeries. They were in a meeting.

Caiden cleared his throat and began, “Barbara’s latest test results have been in and sent to your inboxes. I expect each of you to review them thoroughly.”

He glanced around the room before continuing, “Following Mrs. Dury’s earlier request, the director and I have scheduled a comprehensive case review. It will take place tomorrow morning at nine, in the conference room. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Wright, you will each present your proposed treatment plans for Barbara’s care.”

Condition. Once both are presented, Mrs. Dury will decide who will serve as Barbara’s attending physician and lead the operation.”

After speaking, Caiden looked at Belinda and Turner. “Do either of you have any questions?”

Belinda shook her head. “No.”

Turner also said, “No.”

“Good. Then this meeting is adjourned.” Caiden gave a small nod before gesturing to Belinda and Turner. “Dr. Ortiz, Dr. Wright, come with me to Barbara’s hospital room.”noveldrama

Belinda rose without hesitation, falling in step behind Caiden and Turner as they exited the office and made their way through the corridor.

The three of them entered Barbara’s hospital room together.

Nalani sat at Barbara’s side, while Elwood stood nearby, as well as Zaria.

When Caiden, Turner, and Belinda stepped in, Nalani stood up. “Mr. Rodgers, are Barbara’s test results in?”

Caiden nodded. “Yes. We have arranged a full case review tomorrow at nine. We would appreciate it if both you and Barbara could attend.”

Nalani replied, “Okay.”

“Then we won’t disturb you further,” Caiden said, preparing to leave.

But before he could step out, Belinda walked over to the bedside. She extended her hands toward Barbara. “Barbara, can you squeeze my hands for me? Use all your strength.”

Barbara stared at her, not moving.

Nalani walked over. “Barbara, sweetheart, listen to the doctor. Please.”

Barbara’s brow furrowed, lips drawing into a faint pout of resistance. But after a beat, she extended her hands and curled her fingers around Belinda’s.

“Use all your strength,” Belinda said gently.

Barbara complied, her grip tightening.

Belinda released her hands slowly and furrowed her brows.

“Dr. Wright,” Nalani said, eyes etched with concern, “is there something wrong?”

Belinda said with a steady voice, “Your left hand seems less strong than your right hand.”

She then asked Barbara, “How long has this issue been present?”

“I’m not sure,” Barbara replied, her face blank as she shook her head.

Belinda paused briefly before saying, “Please lift both arms simultaneously so I can assess.”

Barbara’s expression betrayed a hint of irritation, but with her mother nearby, she reluctantly complied.

She raised both arms, though it was evident that her left hand couldn’t reach the same height as her right.
