Chapter 51:
“What are you doing here, Belinda? Looking for me? Let’s head inside.” With a gentle tug, Kylee led Belinda by the hand into the bustling inpatient section of the Cardiac Surgery Department, making their way to the doctors’ office.
As they entered, the doctors there greeted Kylee with warm smiles. Noticing Belinda, many doctors looked visibly impressed.
“Kylee, is this your friend?”
“She’s my younger sister,” Kylee responded, beaming.
“Oh, your sister? No wonder she’s so beautiful!” The revelation that Belinda was Kylee’s sister sparked even greater enthusiasm among the staff members there. After all, they were all well aware of Kylee’s family background. Though not yet a permanent member of the staff, Kylee’s presence was enough to make others keen to make a good impression.
Kylee, still smiling, turned to Belinda with a look of concern. “Belinda, what brings you here today? Have you decided to join me as my assistant?”
Before Belinda could answer, a middle-aged female doctor chimed in, “Kylee, is your sister going to join us at the hospital, too?”
“Yes!” Kylee nodded enthusiastically. “Like me, she graduated from medical school. However, she hasn’t yet taken her licensing exam, so she’ll be interning under my guidance for the time being. She will be my assistant.”
Kylee understood Belinda’s journey well. After university, Belinda had immediately married Lucas, which had prevented her from taking the licensing exam. For years, Belinda had dedicated herself entirely to Lucas, putting her own professional aspirations on hold. After that, Belinda had moved abroad.
Just then, Belinda stated calmly, “I’m not here to be your assistant.”

Her declaration cast a hush over the bustling office.
Kylee looked at Belinda, her lips slightly parted in concern. “Belinda, are you still upset with me? I understand if being an assistant seems like a step down for you, but it’s a practical option right now. If you were at another hospital, you’d still be interning. Wouldn’t you rather be in a place where I can ensure you’re treated well? You can assist me for now, build your skills, and sit for the licensing exam when you’re ready. After that, I can arrange for you to work for my mentor. What do you say?” Kylee’s tone was gentle, seemingly laden with concern for Belinda.
Yet, Belinda’s face remained impassive, her response cool. To the onlookers, it appeared Belinda was dismissing Kylee’s heartfelt offer, which irritated those who were keen to curry favor with Kylee.
“Kylee is going out of her way to help you. She has planned everything for your benefit. What more could you ask for? Even if it’s just as her assistant, you would have the prestige of being part of the Grand Plains General Hospital. Do you know how many people wish for such an opportunity?”
“Indeed! With your current credentials, you would be an intern elsewhere, too. Honestly, if not for Kylee, you wouldn’t get a chance to work here. How can you show no appreciation and act as if you’re being unfairly treated?”
The remarks from two middle-aged female doctors were sharp.
