Chapter 215



Baker’s heart ached at the sight of his daughter like this. “Don’t say that, Carola,” he said gently. “Kylee is already upset.”

“You don’t need to—”

“Stop talking!” Carola snapped. “And don’t even think about calling Belinda. She has done nothing wrong here. In fact, she was kind enough to even offer Kylee another chance. A bet is a bet. Kylee should face the results. Do I really need to explain this to you?”

Baker suddenly fell silent, and Carola turned back to Kylee.

“Now,” Carola said, her voice steady, “tell me, Kylee, what is your choice? Will you stay at the Grand Plains General Hospital under Belinda’s terms, or will you leave?”

Kylee stopped crying. She sniffled softly, her gaze fixed on the floor, lost in thought.

What stung the most wasn’t her loss but her mother’s unwavering stance. Not only had her mother refused to side with her, but she had also defended Belinda, insisting that Belinda had done nothing wrong.

A flicker of anger and frustration toward Carola bubbled up within Kylee, though she kept it hidden.

She didn’t want to leave the Grand Plains General Hospital. So, she quickly made up her mind. Even if it meant being an intern for the rest of her career, she wouldn’t leave the Grand Plains General Hospital.

Though not every patient at the Grand Plains General Hospital was affluent, it was the go-to institution for the wealthy and powerful. The hospital was unmatched—its resources, reputation, and roster of top medical professionals made it the ideal place for her to grow.

If she played her cards right and impressed the right person, someone influential could easily help her bypass the barriers to becoming a permanent staff member there.

Step into a new journey on galnovels .con The thought reignited her determination. She wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity.

“I want to stay at the Grand Plains General Hospital,” Kylee finally declared, her voice steady despite the lingering sniffles.

Carola’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Are you sure? You won’t regret it later and blame others, will you?”

Kylee flinched at the pointed question, but she quickly nodded. “Mom, I know I was wrong,” she said, her voice soft, almost pleading. “I shouldn’t have complained about my mentor or Belinda. I… I was just too upset and lost control of my emotions.”

“I said things without thinking. I know this is my fault. I lost because I wasn’t good enough. I understand that now.”

Carola’s expression softened after she heard that. “Admitting your mistakes is the first step to growth,” she said. “And since you’ve made your decision, I’ll support you.”

Kylee nodded, her resolve firm. “Thank you, Mom. I’ll go back to my room now.”

“Go ahead,” Carola replied.

As Kylee disappeared upstairs, Carola turned to Baker, her expression shifting. “You’ve spoiled her too much,” she said sternly. “She’s lost her sense of responsibility because of it. What you call love is only doing her harm.”

Baker sighed, his shoulders slumping. “I understand now,” he muttered, offering no defense.
