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

Chapter 111:

Later that evening, Lucas casually broached the topic with Belinda as they crossed paths. “I heard Star went to your hospital today?” he said.

Belinda’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Yes! Everyone in our department was very thrilled to see her!” Lucas studied her carefully. He believed her reaction seemed perfectly normal—genuine, even. He nodded, saying nothing more. Clearly, he had been overthinking the matter. After all, a similar build didn’t mean anything. Belinda and Star couldn’t possibly be the same person, right?

While Lucas pondered, Belinda’s expression briefly changed. She didn’t know why Lucas brought up Star, but she chose to respond as naturally as possible, not wanting him to suspect anything amiss. Her mind wandered to the incident from last year…

Lucas’ assistant had emailed her, requesting she travel to Askya for surgery on a high-profile patient. After reviewing the case, she had deemed it easy enough that her involvement wasn’t necessary. She understood how the wealthy operated—always wanting the best for even the simplest of procedures. Her reputation had been at an all-time high at the time, so it wasn’t a surprise that Lucas’ team had reached out to her. Without much thought, she had refused to perform that surgery.

A few days later, Lucas himself had emailed her. She had turned him down again. Now, with Lucas suddenly mentioning Star, Belinda wondered if he had thought of this matter. But his silence now reassured her, and she let the thought pass. Exhausted from the day, she went to sleep early.

However, in the dead of night, hunger roused her. Reluctantly, Belinda shuffled downstairs to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, she scanned its contents, unimpressed. She was about to shut the door when a faint noise behind her caught her attention…
