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

Chapter 699:

Dotson’s expression softened at her words. His nervousness shifted to something closer to hope as he said, “Dr. Wright, could I ask one favor?”

Belinda asked, “What is it?”

Dotson hesitated, his lips pressed into a tight line. “Could you… Could you please tell Darwin that it was you who suggested Toby be transferred to Dr. Ortiz’s care?”

After a brief pause, and before Belinda could respond, Dotson rushed to add, “If Darwin finds out I was the one who initiated the transfer, he’ll definitely be angry with me. But if it were you, Dr. Wright, who suggested it, the situation would be entirely different. Darwin wouldn’t be mad.”

Belinda couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Dotson’s request. She realized perhaps she had been too accommodating, making people think she was easy to mess with. Dotson’s intentions were painfully transparent. He wanted to avoid conflict with Darwin while reaping the benefits for himself.

Belinda raised her chin slightly, fixing Dotson with a sideways glance and a sly smirk. “Mr. Haywood, don’t get too greedy. You want your son to transfer to another doctor’s care, but you don’t want Darwin to be mad because of that? You can’t have it both ways.”

she continued, “You practically betrayed me, and now, you expect me to take the fall for you? Do you really think you can have everything your way? How bold do you have to be to ask me something like that? Or perhaps I’ve given you the wrong impression—that I’m too kind, too easy to talk
