His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 10:

As they sat in the waiting area, Belinda’s phone abruptly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, her expression showing a flicker of impatience before stepping away to answer the call.

“Hello, what is it?”

“Star, Elsa Torres from Ascein emailed again. She’s insisting that you perform her son’s surgery,” came the cheerful voice of a woman.

Belinda responded with a hint of disinterest, “I’m not available. Her son’s condition isn’t critical, and their local specialists are more than capable of performing the surgery. There’s no need for me to do that.”

The woman on the other end of the line laughed softly. “Understandable, but you know how it is with mothers and their children. Elsa wants nothing but the best for her son, which apparently means you.”

Belinda sighed and dismissed the idea once more. “Tell her no. I’m busy here. I need to hang up now.”
