Chapter 1502:

“Not much progress, I’m afraid,” Zaria replied with a sigh of resignation. “Darwin has been away on a business trip to Chixdon recently.”

“I suppose there’s nothing you can do about that,” Kylee said. “But you need to keep an eye on Belinda once Mr. Lambert gets back.”

Zaria replied, “I know. Speaking of Belinda, she turned out to be more capable than I expected. Do you remember when she insisted on a full organ replacement for Barbara? My whole family thought she was too reckless and refused the idea. But Dr. Star agreed with her treatment plan and even ended up entrusting Barbara’s treatment after the surgery to Belinda. Now, both my aunt and my father hold her in high regard. They trust Belinda implicitly and have left Barbara’s well-being entirely in her hands.”

Kylee’s eyes flashed with envy and resentment.

Why was Belinda always so lucky?

Kylee had really thought that after the incident with Barbara, the Wright family from Soling would come to despise Belinda. Yet, somehow, the tide had turned in Belinda’s favor.

Kylee pressed her lips into a thin line. “I’ll bet Star was behind that treatment plan from the start. Caiden probably fed the idea to Belinda so she could take credit for it. She’s so desperate to boost her reputation. I bet that even if your aunt had agreed to Belinda’s advice from the start, Star would still have been the one to perform Barbara’s surgery.”

She paused and bit her lower lip for a moment. “Besides, don’t you find the timing of Star’s intervention suspicious? I’m inclined to think that Caiden planned the whole thing. He wanted Star to take over Barbara’s treatment all along, but let Belinda present the prognosis to make her look more competent.” These were purely speculations, of course, and Kylee didn’t even have a smidgen of evidence to back them up. But she was convinced that this was the truth.
