Chapter 583



After spending more than an hour with Belinda, Johnson and Bethany took their leave. Once they had departed, the room fell silent.

Sitting beside the bed, Belinda looked at Holley, who was still sleeping. Her face carried a complex mix of emotions. Slowly, her perception of her mother had been altering.

She felt like she couldn’t even trust her mother now. When she thought of this, sadness washed over her.

Johnson’s cautious words resonated deeply, leading her to harbor doubts about the car accident.

“Belinda, what’s wrong? What are you thinking about?” Holley had woken up at some point and was now looking at Belinda with confusion.

Startled by Holley’s voice, Belinda was jolted back to reality.

She looked at her mother. “Mom, there’s something I need to ask you…”

Holley replied, “What is it?”

Belinda asked, “Weren’t you scared when you saw the car coming towards you?”

Holley responded resolutely, “Of course, I was scared. But nothing matters more than protecting you, my precious daughter.”

Belinda felt a complex swirl of emotions upon hearing this but remained silent, simply nodding. She masked her emotions in front of Holley.

For the next two days, Belinda was a constant presence in Holley’s hospital room, tending to her tirelessly. She took care of everything from Holley’s meals and drinks to assisting with bathroom needs and personal hygiene, all without seeking help from others. Only after returning to her job at the hospital two days later did she arrange for a caregiver for Holley.

That day coincided with the monthly meeting of doctors at the Grand Plains General Hospital. With the exception of surgeons in the middle of operations and two on-call doctors from each department, the entire medical staff assembled in the conference room. The hospital director and several deputies addressed the gathering in turn.

As the meeting neared its conclusion, the director made an unexpected return to the stage.

He said, “Recently, there’s been considerable buzz around Dr. Wright’s incident from the Cardiac Surgery Department. The talk has spread throughout the hospital.”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Belinda in surprise. No one had anticipated that the director would bring this up during the monthly meeting.

Belinda furrowed her brow.

The director then announced, “I have a video to show you all.”

“Please watch this.”

As he finished, the large screen behind him lit up, displaying a video.

“That’s Dr. Wright!”
