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

Chapter 438:

Belinda explained, “There’s a rule at our hospital that we have to eat in the cafeteria before surgery. But I had the breakfast you prepared at home that day, so I ended up breaking the rule.”

“What? Your hospital actually has a rule like that?” Holley looked at Belinda in shock, unable to believe what she was hearing.

“Yes,” Belinda replied, nodding slightly in confirmation.

“You silly girl! If there’s a rule like that, you should have skipped the breakfast I made for you! Now, not only did you have an allergic reaction, but you’ve also been punished for it. I feel so awful!” Holley said, her eyes starting to redden instantly.

Belinda gently reassured her, “It’s alright, Mom. This isn’t your fault. You woke up early and put so much effort into making me breakfast. How could I let all your hard work go to waste? Who could have ever guessed that I’d be allergic to artichokes? If it weren’t for the allergy, none of this would have happened. So, there’s no need for you to blame yourself for this.”
