Chapter 153:

Holley’s eyes widened slightly in disbelief. “Is… Is it really that serious?”

Belinda didn’t respond, her silence echoing louder than words ever could.

After a long pause, Holley’s voice trembled as she said, “But… But that’s exactly why Kylee can’t lose! If she does, Carola will hold it against you, and your father—he’ll be furious, beyond words. Belinda, I’m begging you, please let Kylee win this time. Even if… Even if it means you will be dismissed from the hospital, I’ll take care of you. I’ll look after you for the rest of your life.

A deep sense of disappointment gripped Belinda’s chest, suffocating her. No matter how Holley tried to spin it, it all boiled down to one thing—Holley wanted her to sacrifice her own future for Kylee’s sake. How utterly absurd!
